as someone with 1000+ hours in fallout 4. do what ever you want and save often
Love FO4, fave Beth style game because of the addition of settlements.
Sleep Often* survival players lol
Quicksave is always handy
yea, pretty lame telling people there are things they "should not do" in a roleplaying game
2800+ FO4 hours here. Agreed.
Who else is revisiting Fallout because of the show?
Me
Yes sir
Yup, reinstalled fallout 4, installed a story wealth Mod pack 👌
Never left
April 24 is almost here 🔥
1 ignore Preston Garvey 2 put Mama Murphy's chair in the river. 3 plant a melon next to the chair and assign Preston to farm it so he isn't anywhere near you to assign you any thankless jobs. 4 never turn on radio freedom. 5 Just wander around and do whatever you want.
Wth 😂
Bro..your comment was more useful then the video. Tnx.
This is my first time playing. Thansk for the tips. Super excited!
Wisdom
You can in fact leave Preston in the museum all together. He even has a line for that case which he throws at your back when you leave. If you plan on joining a faction that might kill the minuteman in the end, this is the most humane option.
Another settlement needs your help.
Another settlement needs your help.
Another settlement needs your help.
Let me mark it on your map
At least it isn’t raining ☔️
I'm getting PTSD flashbacks of Minutemen.
use the minuteman squads mod. yo hire a squad of minutemen, and they take care of that radiant quest for you.
damnit garvey
When hacking, instead of running out of tries, get to your last one and back out. Your tries will reset so you can keep trying.
Does that save any actual time though? You are only locked out for 10s, and you lose the chance at your last guess, by leaving it early. If you average out the lost chances at getting right, versus doing the minigame over and over, I'm not sure that method does save any actual time.
@@Tijuanabill Yes it does save time. Wait 10s and maybe fail or retry right now and maybe fail, but with 3 more tries.
Plus, would you rather stand around doing nothing if you fail or engage with the game you are playing?
Or just hack the right way and look for the completed brackets hiding in the lines? It takes like 20 seconds and youre guaranteed to get the right code lmao
@@ce2341 No crap. So your "tip" is "just play the the game". Thats a big brain tip.
It's funny that the Fallout hype train is back up and running, but Starfield is practically dead, I'm not complaining.
Starfield is wayyyy to empty. It can be zen for a bit but that's about it
Sad but true
Honestly, It wouldn't be dead if they just added proper quests and new instances . XD They didn't learn from 76
One thing to note if you leave power armor at a settlement make sure you take out the power core if not settlers will hop in them
Gotta take the keys out of the car lmao
This. Definitely this.
Learned that the hard way during a raider attack and one hopped in my armor lol Started taking the power cores out and putting a turret next to my armor stations after that.
Sorry, im new to this game. Thanks for the tips. Ill be screen saving these tips!!
Passing merchants like Trashcan Carla can still steal them if they have a fusion core in their inventory.
Quick save is OP. Use it everytime.
Every time and twice before a red speech check
It's called save scumming
That’s nothing compared to a Stalker veteran
Not unless you are in the modded game, it could become your nightmare
u guys even know what OP means? lol
The first thing you should NOT do in Fallout 4: Help another settlement
use the minuteman squads mod. yo hire a squad of minutemen, and they take care of that radiant quest for you.
Why is that people hate the radial minutemen quests, but not the radial quests from other factions? Neither has to be done immediately, with the exception of settler kidnappings. But even those are only time gated, after you talked to the settlement.
The Fusion Core advice is mostly sound, but if you plan on doing a high intelligence + Power Armor build from the start, you can unlock the Nuclear Physicist perk as early as you want to, which dramatically increases how long your Cores will last, and it's not that hard to find more along the way. This is a fun build, give it a try!
Nyeh, if you want to do Power Armor early on, just sprint minimally and don't use VATS.
There's also the Scrounger perk which soon piles on the Cores.
number 10: not every settlement needs help
use the minuteman squads mod. yo hire a squad of minutemen, and they take care of that radiant quest for you.
Lmfao🤣🤣🤣
The resurgence of new FO4 videos because of the Amazon show and upcoming game update is nice to see.
As someone with over 3000+ hours in Fallout 4 i can easily say Fusion Cores are Everywhere in the starting region and if you want more just get the ammo finder perk and look in ammo boxes they can spawn in groups of four.
Weird flex
They can also be recharded right?
@@ANDR0iD No, when fusion cores run out of power they just disappear.
@@ANDR0iD in fo76
@@ANDR0iDno but when they get almost out of juice like 1 or 2 get out of your power armor and physically remove it and install a new one. You can sell the mostly used core for the same price as any other core. It's a great exploit
I'm surprised you didn't mention to never leave your power core in unattended power armor when you're going to be away for a bit.
Those settlements are not going to save themselves, time to put on the vault suit, get dogmeat and into the wasteland once more, even after 9 years.
The world needs you again
get the cannibal perk as soon as possible so you're ready to eat your son when you find him
Damn that's dark. Funny as Hades, but still dark.
Damn ign you missed your video release schedule by 9 years
They were working on a schedule of one tip per year
next gen upgrade for the game is next week. It's smart of them to redo this now.
@@EJ4strings That and there are many new players because of the Fallout series on Amazon Prime.
What year is this?
2015
Lmao
2077
2024
Cyberpunk
I’ve never met a general who get ordered around as much as a vault dweller
100% better than Starfield.
1000%
10000%
16 times the quality
"Save every hour or so"
More like every 2 minutes if you wish to avoid freezes in boston.
Don't rob Trashcan Carla.
She's a synth
@@marlonquintana3466 She's not a synth but an institute informer, her role is basically direct you to diamond city
Its Fallout 4. Do whatever you want. Unlike other Fallout games it doesn't actually matter.
One thing they didn't tell you: Don't leave your power armor suits at a full settlement. Settlers will use em. My last playthrough 2 of my suits were missing and only found 1 settler with it on. The other armor was customized😢.
Gotta remove the power core when leaving them at your settlements , only way to prevent them from acquiring them
That’s actually pretty cool
Did one of your settlers steal it? Lol
Power Armor...
NEVER leave the "keys" in your "car".
If you have power armor out in the open at your settlement never leave fusion cores in them. If enemies show up settlers or raiders with jump in if the fusion core is left in. & if they die inside you cannot retrieve the frame.
At least it's s not raining
Oh no not you
outstanding
Anyone else getting ready for another play thru on 4/25? LFG!!!!
uhh "don't travel alone" yeah about that, get used to you companion blocking your line of sight, its extra fun when using any kid of grenade
Most people here are probably playing for the first time due to the show while I’m here after nearly 30 runs 😂
Weird flex
@@Ch0senJuanwhat’s weird is this guy thinks he’s the only one who played Fallout before the show. He must have made a very low I.Q character.
1. Don't "flirt" with companions if you don't follow through, Preston won't shut up.
2. Don't assign the last perks for Locksmith, Hacker, or Medic. No need.
3. Don't build other settlements without 2 Cap Collector and 2 Local Leader.
4. Next bring a crystal to a settlement, make a beacon, assign a provisioner first.
5. Heavy Laser Turrets are better than the crazy collateral damage of Missile Turrets.
6. Wandering the map early on can permanently set nearby power armor to your level.
7. Best legendries are Explosive Shotgun/Minigun and Two Shot Gauss/50. Cal Rifle
8. There are many rifles, the highest damage sniper is a 50. Cal (aka Hunter's Rifle)
9. Fallout the Show loses all logic after episode 5; Capitalism vs. Communism.
People be making jokes, but not realizing the Fallout 4 update comes out in a week lol
😤🔥
9 things you shouldn't do in general, 1 of which is taking ign reviews seriously
The fusion core tip is hilarious, they're literally everywhere. Just about every location has at least one. 🤣
And you can buy them!
She said in the beginning of the game it's hard to find
As a fallout veteran 100% almost all the games just enjoy it fr the first time listen to everything do everything get into the world and only watch vids if you have to try and do it urslef you will feel so much more rewarded enjoy ur adventure in the waist.
Dont get to invested in mods. Play the base game. Get some basic qol and graphics mods. Then stick with it. If you spend all your time in the mod list your gonna miss out on the game.
F4SE, see through scopes are a must
Give us Fallout 5 Todd, let starfield alone..
Yes!!!
Dont step on mines, don’t get shot, any other obvious tips ?
„You are Special Books“ like show me another one u can find in the wasteland.
Well done tutorial, if you drop items on ground Dog meat will pick up on command even if it is past encumbrance weight, human companions do same, just place items in corpse or container and they will continue picking up with no speed penalty :)
As someone with 10.000 hours in fallout just left click your mouse to shoot
Who woulda thought, that almost 10 years after its release, a TV series would skyrocket the popularity of fallout all over again. A testament to the creators that they’ve renewed peoples interest. Maybe this will be the push Bethesda needs to start working on fallout 5 ahead of schedule. Clearly there is interest and demand…
don't leave the fusion cores in power armour near any friendly NPC 😂
It's always your friends that steal your stuff 🤣
An important thing left out of this video is that many companions also give you quests personal to them and they will give you a perk when you have reached 100 affinity with them. It's totally worth collecting the companions.
yes travel alone, lone wanderer is better then dealing with them getting in the way and breaking stealth
IGN really riding the hype train for the show by reheating content from 9 years ago...
And it worked. Here we are engaging.
Another thing to note is when hacking you can cycle through the letters and numbers until you find a bracketed group when you click on them they can eliminate Duds and even give you a try reset
It feels surreal to see this game get this much attention all of the sudden once again
Played every Fallout to death, Fallout 4 is imo by far the best. While New Vegas clearly have more skillschecks and deeper roleplay mechanics, Fallout 4 is (at least for me) the best Fallout, at least since the added fantastic survival mode.1200+ Hours and counting!
Weird flex
@@Ch0senJuan Go back to your fetish-game
2:19 this girl choose the second deadliest pond of the game to show her argument. Just take waterboy and take out those radioactive barrels and you will be fine
Excellent Video, The 3rd thing, Saving. Ive had 5000 hrs in Fo4, and Using a Mission location image as the save screen, really helps, with timeline restoration. If it goes south.
Do the scrap+build=xp when you get to sanctuary.
Crazy how fallout 4 look way better then 76
16x the detail
Start off with 10 CHA and INT. Can easily build up other stats as you level and save the bobbleheads and SPECIAL book.
#10 Avoid Preston Garvey as much as you can
You forgot the most useful tip to carry extra junk. Ask your companion to pick up things for you with the interact command, that way you will have infinite carry weight with them, just don't trade directly with your companions.
1:47 “Impordent?”
What does this mean?
10. Don’t walk around with an almost empty health bar lol
1. Don't agree to lead the Minutemen, unless you want to be drowned in radiant quests.
Walk through downtown Boston without the game crashing?
You should really try it. Anyone?
Reminds me of walking through Freeside in Fallout NV. And the game crashing.
Yes totally. Game crashed 4 times. Deleted it as a result. Just downloaded again due to the newly released TV show which is exemplary, mainly due to its adherence to Fallout 4 Canon. 😊
Will stay away from downtown Boston 😆
I've never had an issue with this on a PS4 Pro and with a healthy amount of mods too.
Xenoverse 2 is the only game I've ever had crash.
@@shawnmcvey7789 Bethesda have admitted on social media that Fallout 4 is prone to crashing & this is certainly the experience of the gaming community. Myself included.
Never had a crash on Xbox one
Fusion cores are easy to get once the brotherhood arrives and well ammo and skill books / anything can be scraped and replaced and by doing that duplicated.
Important: You can take Cait’s clothes off by unequipping her clothes.
Amen
Remove fusion cores from power armor when you leave it around anyone. Hard to get back when it's stolen during an attack.
After all these years, after investing 1000s of hours and beating the game like 10 times, now you tell me!! Thanks IGN 😒
Just started and I'm going to do all the things in this video
Fusion cores are a rare resource
> has 20+ cores by level 12 because pickpocketing
Why is the main point of interest (Boston) unplayable?
Fallout will always be my favorite game and I'm glad its getting the flowers it deserves ❤️🔥
2:43...it's also incredible how badly you need a couple of stimpaks 🤨😅
Fallout 4 with FPS boost on Series X is sooo buttery smooth.
0:32. Me hearing this after finding 7 fusion cores in one chest " 🖐😝🤚"
"shoot almost anyone"
*zooms in to Preston*
It’s your play through! Do what you want!
Don’t go for power armor before Lv 28 because power armor at every location will not respawn and some of them are levelled frames. Otherwise, you need to wait for random sale of X01 from atom cats shop if you don’t have dlc.
i'm restarting fallout new vegas for the season 2 of the show
Can’t wait for the upgrade next week
What's the upgrade?
yes , and break every mod known to man kind
Wont going offline and seeing updates to manual initialization fix that until the mods (least those still maintained and updated regularly) get patched?
*setting*
By pass the first part with a chemistry station mod 🤷🏽♂️ Iykyk 🤣
Wait, fallout 4 was released 9 years ago???
Yes the TV show has given the games a new lease on life.
Fusion cores arent a scarce resource because you will end the game with a heap of them as you try to be frugal
And regret will set in
For anyone who plays F4 on Survival all the time, all this was perfectly obvious.
I’ve only played survival mode. Requires different tips
How about the settlement problem, there's another settlement that needs our help, I'll mark it on your map!
The story and the next gen update fallout 4 is all I’ve been playing since the update lol, never beat it or got that far so the playthrough is almost new I’m having a lot of fun.
My best part of Fallout4 was nuking a super mutant with a mini nuke in vars
1:00 *laughs in bloodied armor*
Also, for that last tip, TAKE OUT YOUR FUSION CORE! Otherwise, settlers will use it and potentially lose armor if damaged
Dont seek out power armors until you are a higher level. They scale by level. That special armor you want from a guide will be better when you are level 25 instead of trying to find it at level 5.
Oh, IGN has never played the game. You can get 4+ power cores in the first area around sanctuary. Use your power armor like a boss.
Revisiting for the update 4/25/2024
Do NOT leave your power armor with Fusion Core in it while in your settlement because if it's suddenly under attack, you settler will don it on and never return it to you. On the other end, did you know you can order your companion to put on the power armor even if there's no fusion core in it and they don't get any penalty.
she literally read the loading screen tips.. this is a massive kick in the gut.. does she think we can't read or something..?
Yes quicksave often, cuz on my amazing computer the gsme still crashes 😂
Sold all the T45 armor from the first suit for quick caps.
No regerts.
"No Regerts' You should have that tatooed.
Number 10: Take that precious Fusioncore out of the darn Armor!
Unless you want a Settler jump in and take it when they get attacked or some random Brute jumping in and taking off with it...
After you save do another save on any Bethesda games ! You will eventually get a cursed bad save so you need a backup !
wow another early access by ign, so cool...
WHAT YEAR IS IT?!?!
Great vid for newcomers... Fallout veterans already know all this.
Can't wait for this game to come out!
Tip 1: it’s a Bethesda game. There are bugs. Do your best to deal with them patiently.
