Hey Twonky, can you recommend how do I fight with melee enemies who block or bash a lot? Like synths bash you super fast and stun you a lot. And can I counter attack melee attacks and bashes? It tried but couldn't make it work.

Power armor this, ballistic weave that, Im playing a 40% movement speed buff build and blitzing the enemy with a lucky disciples knife cracked out on jet

Hey, hope you are doing well. Just to say, best F4 playthroughs I've found, chill vibes without any annoying CZcamsr crap. Thanks!

53:45 about "none of the ghouls being legendary so far" - It's because you're under level 6. No legendary enemies will spawn before player character is level 6.

Vans should be first.

Good stuff ! 👍

One thing I will say, rad resistance when you're doing the bloodied build is definitely useful. Makes life easier when you're trying to stay in the 18% - 25% HP threshold

Chad is carrying hundred pounds of heavy weaponry, but don't know how to throw a simple smoke grenade :) Legit :)

Luck was sooo op in New Vegas.

Sneak, silencers, pickpocketing everything related related makes a great choice.

Basher s tier at max u can one shot enemies

my game crashed. no sleep save since before i went to the vault. got all the way to the entrance to diamond city and it crashed. thanks Todd Howard you absolute weapon. i dont know if i have it in me to do all that work again.

you should have made it clear to keep a beer because i dont have any any it seems like that missing charisma point is screwing me over..... i liked this guide up until the actual important part that it was leading up to because now im seemingly screwed. lol.

Did you quit ?

wtf i got to the shop and those prices are wayyyyyyyyyyyy different to what im seeing.....

Oh, he's wrong. The best start on survival is to take 10 charisma, 10 intelligence, and 3 perception. At the 2nd level, take the cap collector skill. Loot from your dead wife her gold ring, the whole Sanctuary (especially the gold bars in the basement of the house) and run to the Diamond city, where Cricket will be waiting at the entrance, from whom you can buy Spray n' Pray. If you find clothes for +2 charisma in the Sanctuary - great, you can also get a cap for +1 charisma from Piper. therefore, there is will be enough money for a Spray n' Pray and ammo. 13 charisma with cap collector skill will give you enough of a discount to sell your loot for a good deal and buy it all. Run to Harvey, take the power armor, simultaneously pumping Nuclear Physics, Dexterity up to 2x and Commando, Perception up to 5 and Explosives Expert. Next, take a local leader, make a settlement's with merchants, so that there are always ammo , doctor etc. You will have at first 10-20min of the game allmost top machine gun that destroys all living things in seconds and constant power armor . Oh, and in Diamond City you can catch Piper, quickly start a romance with her, and she will give you the ability to double experience for persuasion in conversations and discovery. you will successfully convince everyone with 10 charisma.

bro just after 39 mins youve completely lost me, you talk about sticking to the water and then just skip to magically knowing where this road that dissapears is.....

im enjoying this but youre talking about locations like we all know exactly where they are just by you naming them and not showing us how to get there to loot the places. like the speak easy in concord, where is that???

"getting kicked to death and urinated on" I'm going to say iiiisss... C tier

Awareness is F Tier because if you power up Pistols, Rifles, and Heavy wepaons....you can blast through anything when you have enough bullets. Just max out Ammo Finder first

MELONS LOTS AND LOTS OF MELONS!!!!! DONT acquire the Abernathy farm and make your settlers farm melon. sell the melons to the Abernathy farm.

Mate you didnt upload for a long time, I sincerely hope everything is okay with you. Much love !

You need a new voice.

You should’ve mentioned you need the DLC

You should have a mandatory tier for lockpick and hacker. Everyone max them always

I particularly like my melee only playthrough. Ninja with rooted is crazy powerful. Even more so if you also upgrade and wear full armors that have the sentinel or fortifying legendary effect on them.

You chose a very strange route to the Robotics Disposal site, I usually just go directly towards it along the lakeside to pick up some armor in and around a suitcase and then up the hill through a gap in the fence to the back of the site to pick up the fat-man etc. and then back the same way. Are you allowing cooking chems for sale but not using? Just found this run and interested in the perks as you progress. Thanks.

Watched a good deal of this and got to the caltrop spot before realizing you need far harbor…ah well. Might want to add that in the notes or whatnot, not everyone has the dlcs

Nice walkthrough, but might want to mention caltrops are only available if you have the far harbor dlc - a kind of important bit of info for anyone who might be following along who doesn't have the dlc installed.

Whats up with E tier? Am i missing something?

Ranking the damage boosting perks is unfair. They're all needed for their builds. You're gonna take them anyway. It's not Iron Fist's fault that melee weapons have better damage than unarmed weapons. They only thing you can say about Big Leagues is that it allows for AOE melee damage, which Iron Fist doesn't. The only real difference between them.

I agreed more than i expected to do. 23:11 They will waste the explosives, only good for robot companions. I usually wait too long with lone wanderer because i tend to farm companion perks & there is quite a lot of them. VANS can break the perception cap but its not really useful to have more, mostly because VATS gets already accurate enough by that time. I skip bloody mess because it just looks bad & i dont really miss 5%

Your audio is cheeks, I liked and subbed

Don’t cook

leadbelly tier 5 allows pineapple on pizza

Wow! I really appreciate you taking the time to putting this together. I have been thinking about starting a 'Survival' play through, but i have been really hesitant.

Survival mode is insane. I can't level up because I'm too busy focusing on... surviving...

"now we got about 30.000 poisond couldrops... with these we blow up the institute" great guide

No dlc perks makes list useless, everybody plays on goty edition.

First time playing FO4. This video was very helpful. Wish I would have watched it before getting to level 30!

I think rank 2 of Awareness should garner a bit more attention, considering it's a bump to both accuracy, and damage; albeit, not much, but still..

Appreciate the respect for chemist. Lots of people say you don't need chems. Well you don't need guns even really. Chems strengthen literally every build, multiply everything and more

Personally, Action Person is S tier for me. It's absolutely unavoidable in every build. Moving Target is probably A tier (rather than C), especially for melee (closing the gap) and big guns (over encumbered resistance boost). Contrast with Rooted. Maybe B tier later in the game, but that's just flat numbers versus percentages. %50 less AP while sprinting means a lot more of that damage resistance boost, and twice as much traversal (or leftover AP if you run into enemies). Since you mentioned the resistance also works for over encumbered running, it def seems essential for survival, where Strong Back is generally a guaranteed investment. It just really suits my playstyle. Adds a lot of fluency to gameplay. More fun. Ninja is S tier for melee. I'm not entirely sure how these bonuses equate together, but... 10x from ninja, +10 from yao guai roast (which is actually 5x damage), +50% from Fury, plus Strength bonuses (which there are way more of) and other melee perks. It makes the whole stealth approach worth it. Getting insta-kills on everyone with Sneak maxed. Quick Hands is fine at B but I'd put it at C compared to other B tier perks. It's great that the first perk affects all reloadable weapons, but the next two are kind of wasted. Reloading in VATS isn't that bad if you already have decent Agility. +10 AP is pitiful. Gun-Fu is more A for me than C. The last level being all crits past a 4th target is nuts. I might be mistaken, but doesn't it continue building if switching continuously between two enemies? If so, it's easily A. A lot of these perks become better when mixed. Consider high AP, Moving Target, and Penetrator in conjunction with Gun-Fu. Imagine auto AP refills on crits. Like with Kellogg's Pistol. And it adds to the previously mentioned melee bonuses. For Bloody Mess, I'd consider how it stacks on every weapon. If you think you've capped on damage with a certain type of weapon, BM is there to remind you you haven't. Also, if it's still early game but you want an edge without committing to a specific weapon type, it can hold ya over. B instead of C, imo. Idiot Savant is A tier instead of S for me because I can't help but want to reload on major quest completion XP gains, which is an annoying incentive to have. It's kind of a double-edged sword having a perk that gives you a negative incentive for investing in Intelligence too much. Also, call it cheating if you want, but there are ways to level up fast, including glitches, if that's what's being aimed for. I do think that extra cha-ching is quite satisfying, though I do get sick of hearing the dumb excitement sometimes.

Even with most of the choice and RPG-ness being stripped from FO4 compared to older games in the series, I still like to take perks that give me as many options as possible to solve problems, not just ways to kill/survive better. There's no discrete speech skill, but I take ladykiller more for the speech/persuade than for the bonus damage. Likewise, I take lockpick, hacking, and aquaboy so I can always go anywhere possible. In most games pickpocket is an important part of the kit too - it can be a peaceful way for a rogue-like character to solve quests - but I'll agree that in FO4 it is fairly useless, unfortunately :(

Ok, first time watching. I agree with most of these so far. I have to say that I don't think Cannibal is an F because it's the easiest way to get Strong's affinity perk (though it's only a selectively useful perk). In terms of practical use, it's still kind of just D tier, but it does offer an interesting angle, role-play-wise... I wish there was one more level to it that added some kind of boost.

I know most people are already aware but, Dogmeat does not count as a companion for the sake of Lone Wanderer. So you can benefit from both unless you're imposing extra difficulty on yourself.

One of the crazy things I've had with party boy is the +3 luck stacks with different alcohols... easily wind up with 60+ luck to go after pies🤣

i just love eating people put cannibal at A tier it’s so fun to roleplay as a cannibal, not because nate is desperate but because he’s disturbed!!!

mysterious stranger can be a godsend early game if you want to rush high tier content, having the possibility of basically one shotting most enemies in the game from a crazy distance with just a pipe pistol its broken.

I think you are a bit hard on Sniper. It's not actually all that great at what it says it does; but it's very flexible about what counts as 'sniping'. Only requires that you be using a non-automatic rifle-category weapon with some sort of scope(you don't even have to be using the scope; it just has to be there) and suddenly your hip-fired combat shotgun or laser rifle has 15% knockdown. It's not cheap, admittedly; but it arguably really helps cement the superiority of rifleman over commando; since using it for knockdown essentially allows you to get much of the benefit of commando's stagger effect on rifleman's harder hitting and more ammo-efficient weapons; while commando has no analogous perk that it can use to close the gap on hitting power.
