he meant getting it at level 1 by using console commands. xD

[@ESOdanny]

It's hard enough to leave the vault at level 1, my point was that if you go there at level 1 its coded to spawn the entire set, unlike many locations which are level dependent or rng based.

I all ways replace heavy arms with the medium arms as they look better with out those silly cups.

[@alexithymia6288]

For your level 1 combat needs, you can go to Concord for an easy legendary farm. Looking at the Museum of Freedom, down the road and to the LEFT(edited) there is a sheltered bench and blue fallout capsule. Behind them is the entrance to Concord Civic Access, where 3 roaches are almost immediately inside down a set of stairs. Quicksave before going in, and fish for legendaries until you get one you want. The table is very small at level 1 so good chance you get a 10mm pistol. If you do but it has a bad prefix, reload the autosave it made when you loaded in. If you get armor or something else, load the quicksave and try again.

[@ilikethis2118]

It's left, looking at the museum of freedom from concord it's left

[@alexithymia6288]

@@ilikethis2118 Oops, you are correct

[@TheSacredDude]

Yup. I took advantage of this farm on my first playthrough and got an irradiated 10mm. Thought it was crap and left it in a box for a while, until I found out what I could do with it. I tried to use it for a neverending double-barreled shotgun but gave up and kept the pistol.

the sentry bot from Robotics Disposal can... at least to South Boston Checkpoint. Just follow it. Hunting rifle on the top of bunker, good loot inside, and a power armour. (probably for later). So Yamaica is reachable

[@18videowatcher41]

Fantastic video, I had no idea there was a way to get even light combat armor at level 1! 🤘😝 On my next playthough, I'm definitely going to grab the set of light power armor at Jamaica Plains, and then grab the Combat Rifle at Greater Mass Blood Clinic. I can then use those to level up a bit and make some caps before I go to Vault 81 to buy Overseer's Guardian, and then go to Hub City Auto Wreckers for the heavy combat armor. 😄

[@HeadHunterSix]

I've seen a video where someone got the Overseer's Guardian in less than 30 minutes from leaving the Vault, and it's legit. I'd say that the gun should be a priority over the armor.

[@18videowatcher41]

I believe you. I recently saw a video in which someone got the Overseers Guardian ridiculously quickly at level 1.

[@0ld_R3b3l]

just buy the Destroyer's Helmet (+1 charisma and +1 intelligence) in Covenant, before you do the side quest there

[@thoriated]

That's my go-to after I've acquired some caps melon farming, along with the Destroyer's leg bought in Vault 81. Also get the Champions arms(metal) from Lucas Miller (wandering) and Becky Fallon (Diamond City) until I can afford the Overseer's arms(Heavy Combat) in Vault 81.

[@Kspice9000]

Nah just get the hat with same stats. Can add ballistic weave and looks a shit load better then the combat gears nasty bullshit.

[@rileymiller3154]

Fun fact if you progress enough in the railroad pam quests you can make the military uniform an armoured version (you can do this for most clothing items but not all of them)

Im doing a new playthrough right now with the new update. I got the devils XO2 power armor at level 7 by coincidence. Defeated the enclave outposts, now i have a gatling gun and a tesla canon with the VI XO2 complete set, i killed the vertibird pilot and i have a new hazmat with 1000 rad def, just explored the complete south west of the glowing sea. Found new caves, the big pyramid is now accesible, found a new location, called the secret church south west in the glowing sea near the child of atom crater and some more unammed spots like a power plant with a behemot lvl 50 just took 20 shots with the tesla canon at lvl 18. next is exploring the south east side maybe there are some new locations as well.

[@ninzietche]

There is also treasure in Jamaica Plains, relatively easy to get to, just have to kill more ghouls and loot more corpses.

[@MolnarG007]

Safest: NE from Sanctuary the Robotics Disposal. Find the Sentry Bot's software inside terminal, eject it, use it on your pipboy. Activate sentry bot, set defensive parameters to South Boston Checkpoint. Follow the Sentry. It will kill anything interfering. At the checkpoint there is good loot, power armor, and sniper rifle on the bunker roof. Now you are beside the sea, N from Yamaica plain. At least you survived getting here.

[@ilcorvo9559]

The show brought me back to FA4 in 2024. Modded the fuck out of it and was wandering around in NCR ranger vet armour at level 5 using an M1 Garand. Sim settlements 2 is a great mod btw - great voice acting for a mod.

[@arifhusniabadi]

it is really helpfull video

[@smo202]

The asylum is a great place to farm combat armor and combat rifles. Easy loot and great to sell for caps.

[@TysonPeplow]

I'll test that out

[@jeffreyspinner5437]

It's a little unnerving to sit here and watch you playing Fallout 4 again, and I'm learning stuff again about Fallout 4. It feels longer than 8 years ago... I may have conflated all of Bethesda's broken games fixed by the modding community, which I was one of those modders... And think I'm watching you play Skyrim... Ah, every time I got all my nude ladies protecting me in dragon armor, WHAM dragon pops out of no where and kills them all. Thank you Todd... Without you, ppl would think Bethesda was a real boy.

[@mybadluckcharm]

Deb at Bunker Hill sells a very nice legendary combat armor chest, +1 str, +1end. Black Ops, i think it's called. There's another Black Ops piece she sells, too (i think it's +agi, +per? Not sure.), but being the pack-rat that i am, the +str is gold for me.

[@HeadHunterSix]

Yeah, Black Ops armor is nice (as well as Commander and Overseer combat armors) but Black Ops is kind of expensive. Build a lot of heavy water purifiers at Sanctuary and you'll be able to afford it soon enough.

Small thing: the linked video at the end is displaying as your "Infiltrate bandit camp in kingdom come deliverance."

[@tallnotdeaf]

Going there at level 1 is ballsy but I get your point. Anyone thinking of going to JP, kill the ghouls and explore. You can jump into the church from the rough and get a key which unlocks a bunker where you can get a legendary bat.

[@raymondrowbottom413]

If you are going to run all the way down to Jamaica Plain at that lvl grab the scoped/sniper combat rifle on top of the South Boston Military Checkpoint. Hop up on the terminal to the power armor cage outside then the roof

[@MolnarG007]

And get there easily: NE from Sanctuary at the Robotics Disposal get eject Sentry bot software, use iit in pipboy, activate it snd set defensive protocol to South Boston Checkpoint. This baby will destroy anything just follow it.

[@volkerlanz6499]

The thing is... if you're new to the game it'll take 50 deaths before you're able to reach Jamaica Plain at level 1 or, more likely, before you give up. If you are proficient enough to sneak around all dangers like you showed here having a set of combat armor or not is zero difference.

[@glenblanton250]

Love the game! Has so much more potential. They should do a Fallout IV and so on connecting the east to the west. They can do this through DLC and it is many cities/Fallout episodes to link the East and West!

I would recommend doing this on very easy until you get what you need. Too easy to die by anything on your way down there, unless you are experienced and good at running

[@Big_Bird_Abelardo]

as a Spanish speaker I actually appreciate the Spanish voiceover

[@jimrobinson4755]

I am not even sure that I would even attempt to make my way all the way to Jamaica Plain at level 1 just for armor, even combat armor, though I might try it just for a lark. Hardened is max in Fallout 76,(Well not counting Prime anyway) but in Fallout 4 I am pretty sure there are powerful and advanced mods as well for the sniper rifle. Also the light on the helmet does not work that is true, but there IS a mod that makes it work.

[@Craig-xw9jq]

Just an FYI for new or returning players - if you play in 'Survival' mode - some of these hints are somewhat difficult (still work but are harder) - no fast travel and harder hitting enemies etc

[@ESOdanny]

That's kinda the point with survival mode but their is another work around using the settlement system, it takes a fair bit of setup compared to just going to Jamaica plains though. I'll try to make a video on it

Combat amour + army fatigues and battered fedora w/ ballistic weave = dmg resistance over 300 easy.

[@davidarnold7147]

You should have told people, "At level 1, going to those areas: you are going to die A LOT!" I always go straight to Vault 88 at level 1. I typically die a few times before I get there; I just take the front area. I don't break down the area to the Atrium. It's an excellent place to store stuff that will never be attacked. Also, even after clearing the entire Vault system; as long as you don't clear the Pharmacy area, and the manhole location; it will never be attacked and you can store all your loot there until you've completely settled into the game.
