Fallout 4: 16 Survival Tips for the Wasteland

2:00 The way that thing chases you across that foggy bridge is extremely creepy.

I love the fact that the whole crafting and building system become available pretty much right away after you get out of the vault. No waiting for a specific level requirement or a quest to trigger. I started scrapping and cleaning up the first town right away, might even build a few things before I venture out to follow the main quest.

When you're starting out it's best to stay up north in the commonwealth because the further south you go is the more difficult enemies get, I learnt my lesson the hard way.

Great tips for anyone new to fallout 4, I forgot to save one time and ended up having to redo over 5 minutes of gameplay, it really helps to save on a regular basis.

[@Lanarainy]

I enjoy Fo4 despite the many technical flaws because it's a great game, also thanks for the helpful tips.

One more tip, the mobile "pipboy" app works pretty well. Can make navigating the pip boy menus infinitely faster especially on consoles.

Companions can wear your Power Armour. Just order then to enter in it just as you order them anything else.

A fallout 4 tips guide? That's helpful but I'd prefer a kill compilation or walk-through ;)

[@geekysarah4324]

I attempt to pick up everything I find, including loot from enemies and find myself having to drop to under levelled armor just to run.

My main "problem" right now is that I don’t have any idea of what build I should do. I have never played Fallout before, so I don’t know exactly what are the best stats and what I should prioritize, especially during the beginning of the game.

[@MachinaPrince]

+Roan Kyleson Do whatever you feel like, just don't allocate your points in one stat otherwise the game will be merciless.

[@roannxii]

+Machina Prince Anything?

[@MachinaPrince]

+Roan Kyleson That's correct, Fallout 4 allows you to do anything, you don't have to play by the rules which is why it's one of the best games out.

Also, I learned playing Fallout 4 is much, much comfortable to play with a controller. There, I said it. Building the settlement was a pain in the ass, moving from the mouse to the arrow keys to navigate the awful menus, and everything is a breeze now with my trusty ps4 controller.

[@leafhopper6206]

+sorapapu I don't play any pc games unless I'm using a game controller, although the Sims 4 is an exception.

[@seanmatsudan]

Fallout 4 is definitely my goty.

[@alwaysmpe]

re don't swim, do swim! get the aqua boy/girl perk first though.

[@candiceporsha7140]

Oh no I've been wasting stimpaks on my companion not realising that I should have been using it on my character indeed, the more you know..

[@leafhopper6206]

+Candice Porsha So have I but been wasting stimpaks on them because they die so quickly.

[@candiceporsha7140]

I love using companions but sometimes I feel they're inadequate.

[@leafhopper6206]

Candice Porsha You should be able to have multiple companions to accompany you on quests.

[@qrns1662]

Ugh I keep running out of space and having to dump weapons, I hate the weight rule in this game, like seriously.. Other than that fallout 4 is the bomb!

[@justd7320]

+qυεεη #RNS Yeah guns and armor are so fkin heavy.

[@qrns1662]

+Just D Rightt lol, I tried loading up my companion with weapons and other items but even they can't carry a lot.

[@justd7320]

+qυεεη #RNS Same here, it's best to follow number 16 and store junk in your craftstation, that helped me a little.

[@qrns1662]

***** Yep that's what I plan on doing but I just kinda wish that weight limit was none existent in this game lol, it irks me when I'm slowed down.

[@justd7320]

qυεεη #RNS I hope a fallout 4 mod comes out that removes the weight limit on armor and weapons.
