Summary
With theFalloutTV series beingincredible, tons of people are trying out the games for the first time, includingFallout 4. If you never played a Fallout title or any other Bethesda game, there’s tons of information that’ll make your experience a heck of a lot better.
With how huge Fallout 4 is, many people will just stick to one playthrough, making these tips even more important. Even for people who’ve played other Fallout games, there’s one important thing to note about the in-game economy.
All these things will be applicable to both the PC and console versions.
7Upgrade Locksmith And Hacker Fast
Discovery Is Key
One of the big things that makes Fallout so fun is the exploration, and twoperks help massively in that area. Those are Locksmith and Hacker. You’ll want to open master terminals and locks as early as possible because not only is there usually an excellent reward on the other side, but you occasionally get some juicy story details or some grizzly scenes.
Getting to level three in both perks will accomplish this. Before you reach there, make sure to mark down any lock or terminal that’s out of your skill level so you’re able to return to them later. It’s well worth it.
6Search Out The Best Weapons
Makes Things So Much Easier
With Fallout being an RPG, you would imagine that most of the best weapons require some hard work to access, like beating a boss or a really tough enemy. That isn’t so much the case, and in fact,a lot of excellent weaponsin Fallout 4 can be discovered with relative ease.
For example, the Alien Blaster is located southwest of Beantown Brewery in a cave. It’s very easy to get and one of the best weapons in the title. You should hunt for these easy-to-access incredible weapons, so it’s best to research their locations and get them as quickly as possible.
5Make Use Of Pickpocketing
Quests Can Be A Lot Shorter When Using This Perk
Along with Locksmith and Hacker, another great perk is Pickpocket. You can steal Caps and ammo; when leveled up, you can steal weapons and equipped gear. What’s especially useful about this perk, however, is the ability to steal key items. This can make certain quests a breeze, but make sure to save before pickpocketing in case you get caught.
If you played Skyrim or Starfield, you might be worried about stealing because, if you get arrested, all your stolen loot will be taken away. In Fallout 4, that isn’t an issue because everyone will just try to kill you instead of putting you in prison. you may steal all you want.
4Items Stay In Place
You Can Make Any Container Your Home Inventory
A huge tip you need at the very beginning if you’ve never played a Bethesda game is that items will always stay in place. The items in any container will be permanent, and this makes storing your loot so much easier. You’re best off storing your items in a convenient area that you’ll often go to or can easily access by fast travel.
For convenience’s sake, it’s also best for the location to be right next to a bed. If you don’t know about this, you’ll panic the first time you’re overweight with items. Don’t worry; just drop some stuff and set up your home inventory.
3Sleeping Refills Money At The Shop
A Must For Getting Quick Caps
At some point in your Fallout 4 adventure, you’ll have a ton of junk you want to sell off, but the shop will eventually run out of money to give. This can frustrate you, as you must wait for the shop to refill, but fear not.
you’re able to actually sleep for 24 hours, and that will automatically refill the shop’s contents. This is great for obtaininga truckload of moneyor getting a large batch of crafting materials. Keep in mind that you have to sleep, not wait 24 hours. The latter will not refill the shop.
2Don’t Hoard Money
Don’t Be Scared To Spend It
A common habitat in these types of games is a tendency to not spend money at all because you want to save up for those huge, high-value items. This is important for people who’ve already played New Vegas because you should save money there.
Some of the weapons in the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC cost a fortune. However, this doesn’t apply to Fallout 4. There’s no extremely expensive worthwhile gear to obtain that warrants hoarding up money, so ensure to spend when applicable, as it’ll lead to a far better experience.
1Make Use Of Accepted Names
Who Wouldn’t Want To Roleplay As John Cena?
Before starting a new game, there’s one thing you should look up beforehand. In Fallout 4, Codsworth’s one of the first companions you’ll meet, and Bethesda puts in a ton of names he’ll recognize. If you want to roleplay as yourself, look up to see if your name’s available from the list.
If not, or you just don’t want to roleplay as yourself, you could have fun roleplaying as other characters or people. Elektra’s an accepted name, so you could roleplay as the Marvel superheroine. Cena’s an accepted name, as is Taylor, so for all the swifties out there, you could roleplay as the pop music giant. Looking up the available names beforehand can add great fun to the roleplaying element of Fallout 4.
