- Fallout 4 launched in 2015, and through its many ups and downs, it's seen a resurgence thanks to Amazon's successful TV show. With the next-gen update out on April 25th, enabling 4K support for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It also has free Creation Club content surrounding the Enclave and improves optimization and stability.
However, what should newcomers know before entering the post-war Commonwealth? As it turns out, quite a lot, whether it's the benefits of crafting and tagging components to search for them more efficiently or creating large Water Purifiers to generate lots of Caps for spending.
If you've ever wondered about the best perks, how to get Adhesive or even level up quickly, we've got it all. Here are 15 starting and advanced tips and tricks you should know before jumping into Fallout 4. - Hry
Finally another guy who tells people to play open world bethesda games without using fast travel! It’s crazy how much stuff you just carelessly miss by fast travelling! Respect
Fallout 4 was even better than 76
is it. but 76 gets more updates
@@michaelschneider136576 is honestly horrible. Let’s be real.
@@LoneSteezyTV really. I want to play 76 because it has updates and future dlc. 4 is just a graphics update. after watch the tv show. I can’t decide 76 or 4.
@@michaelschneider1365get fallout 4 original and install a mod no need to pay for the new one
@@LoneSteezyTVit was. I haven’t played in years and then I jumped on the other day just to see how things things were and it’s actually got a lot of updates and quality of life improvements
My *_TOP TIPS_* (especially _Survival Mode_ )--->
--> _Codsworth_ is available as a companion without first needing to free *Preston* . Simply enter *Concord* far enough that *Preston* and the Raiders start fighting, return to Sanctuary, and he can be hired. Taking him along to free *Preston* can give some affinity boosts. _Codsworth_ will give you a Purified Water on a continual basis just by talking with him, making him a solid companion for _Survival Players_ .
--> _Need Caps?_ Stop at nearby *Abernathy Farm* , under the Power Pylon. Grab the 9 Melons, then speak with the daughter _Lucy_ . Keep picking the top dialogue choice about caps as currency. This will trigger an Easy speech check, and she will offer to buy Melons for 5 caps instead of 3. She can buy every Melon you have, on an ongoing basis, which can be lucrative if you turn Sanctuary into a Melon farm. However, if you make the Farm a settlement, she stops buying them.
--> _Survival Players_ , besides planting *Tato* , *Mutfruit* and *Corn* for _Adhesive_ , plant *Razorgrain* . Cook *1 Razorgrain /1 Dirty Water* to make rad-free _Noodle Cups_ . They lower thirst one level, and hunger half a level. Check wandering vendor _Trashcan Carla_ and _Trudy at Drumlin Diner_ , South of Concord. Or find randomly as loot.
--> *Weapon and Armor modifications* can be stripped and swapped onto your better gear. You can remove armor mods for free, but you will have to build a new mod for guns from components. Even without Gun Nut, you can build the base level mod, which will put the previously attached modification into your inventory, to put onto whatever.
--> _Survival Players_ should build *15 more water supply than they have settlers* , minimum. Take out the water from the Workshop *every day* , and store it separately in another container. New Purified Water will be added every day *_if_* there’s little to no water already in the workshop. If you build a large enough water purification operation, a huge amount can get added daily. Use this for your travels, or stockpile, and sell the surplus.
--> _Survival Mode_ features *Diseases* , acquired numerous ways. You can take *Antibiotics* , visit a *Doctor* , or *wait* until they go away eventually. Each disease has _different durations_ , lasting from *2-7 days* . The most debilitating are _Weakness_ (receive +20% damage), and _Infection_ (take damage over time, though it won’t kill you, will leave you with a sliver of health). These two diseases take *2.5 days* to go away. Find something safe to do, like decorating Sanctuary, or sleep it off. Sleeping causes a _disease check_ , so you might get sick again, but anything is better than Weakness or Infection. *Early game* , when resources are tight, you might be better off saving Antibiotics just in case for the debilitating diseases, and living with the others until they go away.
-->Want to play _Survival Mode_ , but aren’t sure what starting SPECIAL to use? I’ve found the first 10-12 levels to be the hardest, and it’s worth going for strong combat skills first, at the expense of other areas. *Melee Builds* , get _Rooted_ (STR9) and _Blitz_ (AGI9) immediately. *9,1,4,3,1,9,1* _(Book END)_ . *VATS Guns* get _Penetrator_ (PER9) and _Concentrated Fire_ (PER10). *1,9,3,3,3,7,2* _(Book AGI)_ . You’ll get the *Perception Bobblehead* when you free Preston, so have a point saved, and put into Concentrated Fire mid-rescue.
--> _Survival Mode_ players should seriously consider not using Power Armor. _Swimming_ is Survival’s Fast Travel. You’ll get around much faster and safer. _Aquaboy/girl_ perk will save you a ton of time. Without spoiling, the game gives you a quick means of crossing the map as you do the main story, if you dabble with the *Brotherhood of Steel* .
--> _New Players_ : *Idiot Savant* isn’t a good choice for first timers. Enemies scale with you. You need to have good gear to survive, and easy and fast XP can leave you without enough time to explore and find good gear before the bad guys start hitting even harder. *You’ll get plenty of levels, faster than you think, even at 1 INT* . Growing powerful isn’t only a matter of levels. Having 1 INT will give you plenty of time to find what you need to survive. You’ll be stronger if you have great gear when you pop your next level. Take it easy, don’t rush, go slow, and you’ll be better for it.
--> _Pass every speech check_ with *11 CHR* , 100%! Low CHR builds, don’t fret: assemble a 3-piece _CHR set of clothes_ . *Hat/glasses/suit* , for _+4_ . Most *Alcohol* adds _+1_ . Find *Daytripper* _+3_ . Better yet, craft *Grape Mentats* at a Chemistry Station _+5_ . There’s other ways, but with these, that’s a +13 buff already.
*Bonus!* Your companion will come to your side and stay there if you crouch.

Will be my first time playing fallout 4 I've always wanted to play it but forgot been catching up on my backlog, definitely ready to hop into this tomorrow
Great video been playing Fallout 4 since 2016 and I learned something new
I can't wait for the next gen update
16 times the detail
@@badmaw7073on pc?
When is the next gen update?
@@nabilsyed4347 Thursday
@@nabilsyed4347April 25th
Great video, although I'd like to add;
1 - Shelves are a bit quicker for xp than fence posts (as they have no clipping so you don't need to move to build repeatedly).
2 - In order to get the well rested buff you need to sleep for a minimum of 7hrs (in game time).
3 - Water production refresh is only 24hrs, not the 48 you mentioned. It may require you to walk out of render distance and back again for the refresh to take effect however.
Extra caveat, this was all before any bug fixes or modifications that might be coming with the next-gen update, so take everything as a hopeful suggestion from prior experiences. Otherwise, cheers again for the video, and I hope everyone enjoys their playthroughs (new or veterans).
Whats the point of glitching xp in a game that has a Cheat Terminal mod AND console commands? Do you feel better about glitching instead of typing in player.setlevel 50? 😂
@@AustinC-ul3vq achievements are disabled with mods. You can get achievements with glitches. 🫡
@@AustinC-ul3vqYou’re just using an in game mechanic, and paying the price in mats. Where’s the glitch
@@ishaan__ghosh I guess glitching is the wrong word. Whats the point of repeatedly building for xp vs just using the console. Is it more immersive to build 500 shelves?
@@AustinC-ul3vq If I did glitches or console commands, I wouldn't feel like I was PLAYING THE GAME.
Started playing a like two weeks ago CZcams been a great help im noob to fallout games
Started playing like four days ago it’s so much fun!!
@@The_shunnedman facts bro specially doing the critical shots with sniper 👌 you can play for hrs and not realize cause of how much gun it is
I actually downloaded this morning to try it first time
Same… got it in my library over the weekend and will try for the first time… whenever I find the time haha
Same I’m playing right now 1 hour in so far
Thank you really nice info heading into this new game, new for me.
You don’t need to know anything before hand, this game was amazing. It was my first fallout, I had no idea what it was going into it and it was extremely well laid out
Let's leave that to the individuals playing and stop acting as if you're a superior minded human maybe?
@@iwatchtoomuchyt9281 I have no superior knowledge, simply stating that this is a game that is so well done, you don’t need a guide before you play it, in fact I think it makes the experience better if you don’t watch something about how to play it before hand.
@runDATrun6 but you are watching this video that's a beginners guide before you play video???
@@PaulGraves-lw9qr nope, I played it when it came out. Again, no need to watch a beginners guide for a game that guides you through it as is
@@iwatchtoomuchyt9281
Dude that's seriously what you got from his comment? Lmfao
An easier way to get adhesive is to use the item search glitch at starlight drive in once you have unlocked the workbench in the area you can also use the same glitch to get a ton of ammo and plenty of fusion cores as well as Bobbie pins for picking lock's with at the same location well if it's in the game you may as well use it
It's mad that we're getting videos like this for a 10 year old game 😆 I, like everyone else right now have also restarted playing and I'm loving it! Can't wait for the next Gen update in a couple of days!
Aqua Boy is the most underrated perk in the game. All the build guides keep saying it's bad. They are all wrong. It's literally just one skill point for a huge quality of life improvement for exploring.
What does Aqua boy do?
It was one of the first perks I picked. No radiation from standing/swimming in water? Count me in!
One of the first I get
Finally some aqua boy love it’s the reason why I put my endurance at that extra level at the start
@@duaneashley8194 You must be the reason they stopped including "How To" books with new games. Here is your tip. READ THE DAMN PERK CHART.
Before you play don’t watch this video.. go in blind and do things your way, don’t look up any guides you will ruin the experience. Nothing like the first time
Amen brother! i fully approve this commment! "thumbs up"
turned off the video, finna go in blind for my first fallout gaming experience today. wish me luck brothers i'll update yall tonight !!
@@hectorrivasjr1923 i envy you bro! jumping on too! gl out there!
@@xsykedelix3766 i just started it and im trying so hard to get too ten in the beginning vault donkey kongg game 😭😭
@@hectorrivasjr1923 lol! getting gamed by a game!
You should do a Fallout 4 Survival Mode tips video, FO4 and FO4:SM are played in completely different ways.
CZcams is full of Fallout 4 Survival Mode tips videos. Most are made by players that got to level 10 and decided they were the game expert.
I’m kind of new to the fallout games I’ve tried them before but could never stay attached. I’m thinking about playing 4 though.
Great video
First thing you need to know, this game came out 9 years ago. Thank you and good luck
I remember when i was a kid dreaming about fallout 4 coming out one day. Oh how we've come full circle 🥲 very excited for the update
Me too except I had been retired for 16 years (15 Sept1999) when it came out.
I played Fallout 3 and never played 4. I ordered it today 4 quid. can't wait
A new settelment needs your help here we go again
I'm not ungrateful for your information but I was looking for beginner information. Like how the map works. How to follow quests etc
As someone who plays Elder Scrolls games I’ve tried Fallout games multiple times but could just not get into them, after watching the series I’ve decided to try again 😂
Is that bug still up or not cause I’ve heard of it and I’m just now starting
I just got the game for about two pounds, really excited to try it
I tried playing it before new update on PC...now crashes on startup so have to wait.....lol
-2 days geeez...😑
Remove wasteland workshop and automatron DLC. I did this and the game works fine now.
Just get the perk that makes it so you can go in water and let's you breath under water boom no more rads unless drinking the water
The update better not fix the VATS melee teleport lol I need it for stealth gameplay
Will it be a patch update for the old version or a new game? Anyone that knows please let me know lol 👍
They actually patched the one where u tell dog meat to retrieve the gun from cryolator case. My first playthrough tried it and the dog doesn’t go down the bunker with you.
I am waiting for Fallout 5
Ur gunna be waiting awhile.. like 2035 at the very soonest
@@Justanobody8472 I'm thinking OCT 22, 2077
Here’s a tip. Keep the meat
Cook it, save the game consistently
I keep running into op enemies what did i do wrong im level 8
Im wondering if I would like it 🤔
3 types of people start Fallout 4:
1) Try it and quit.
2) Try it, decide it's boring, loads every mod to fight boredom.
3) Try it, likes it, plays it almost daily.
Bruh did you make a character to resemble the one from the movie?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
0:18 “next gen update” don’t you mean *current* gen?
Number 1 get a Time Machine
0:10 🌚obviously not
Theeeeeeere’s a Fallout show. It’s good and it streams on Prime.
Damn 31k views on a fallout video, mad years following the release this show creating this much game hype is low key impressive.
Looks like you have your mind made up already. Don't waste your money if you feel that way about it. Otherwise comment readers will have to put up with the bitching and moaning of a jackass.
Hacking terminals is so fucking hard bro I do not understand it 😂 im running with Nick Valentine and I just have him handle that stuff 💀
I should have did my research Preston won't follow me now because of the choices I made with the institute
Well with a name like demon king of course you didn’t sound the evacuation alarm and then blew everybody up 👍😼😜
Oh wait I misunderstood, I think you mean you’re one of fathers buddy’s now…I never did that I don’t imagine any other factions will “like” you very much if you start hanging out at the nightclubs in goodneighbor with those creepy coursers
like love you kyie
I wish someone made a guide for CLUELESS newbies… I mean imagine you’ve never played poker before in your life and someone’s tips are “you’re going to want to get a royal flush if you want to win” … you’d be watching the video like 😥 “uhmm ok HOW DO I DO THAT THOUGH… I don’t even comprehend the basics”
If it would let me play. PlayStation is completely broken right now
No on the Cryalator That does not work now
Game is confusing to me... how are you supposed to craft and know what items go into what?
About 8 years too late sparky
Fallout 4 is third, Fallout 3 is second and Fallout New Vegas is the Big Daddy of them all.
New Vegas was amazing but had nothing on 4s open world sorry and shit
I didn't like New Vegas, Fallout 3 was ok, but Fallout Tactics (pure shoot'em up) was better. Fallout 4 is best in the entire franchise, except when it crashes (Thanks for the non fix Bethesda).
Downloading the game rn.. But it all looks too complex. I think I'm gonna quit after playing for 30 minutes or so.
The game is awesome. Gamers are insufferable.
"jumping back in for the first time" lol such a crappy put together vid smh
Whoever wrote this has never played Fallout 4.
Exactly
Yea
Watching this, farting out my azzzzzz
The 76 hamster wheel is worth it if you love a great multi-player community
I ain't social.
@@edmartin875 u can be a hermit in this game
Please slow down, I couldn't understand some of the stuff you was explaining. Idk why you're in such a hurry to explain.
The same video's we have seen years ago..... everything for views.....
Videos giving us tips (?) on first day of release by players (?) who immediately pose as THE game expert (?) are highly suspect in my book.
@@edmartin875 Yes altough this game is 9y old. Best is always to go in blind.
If they even allow you to replay the game from scratch along with the prime tv series. But due of the next gen upgrade and dlc update, your game will crash on start up all the time on both console systems. Which it is paradoxical for a 9 years old game that I personally love myself, cringe!😒❤
First
We are all so very proud of you. I'm sure your name will be in all the history books forever.
@@edmartin875damn look at that. 6 days late🥱
Seriously f*** this game I've been trying for weeks. I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. I have no idea what the f*** is going on f*** this game.
The end. Goodbye.
You’re going to lose time 😂
My top tip max out charisma
I have it on ps4 so it's not worth upgrading
So we all back huh? 😂
Too much just 3
1 - is a looter shooter don’t except RPG mecánics or ROL playing
2- horrible graphics and even worst LOD , expect crashes and low rendering
3- the most awful quest and NPC( except nick ) , avoid Preston garvey,
There’s why 15 is dumb this looter shooter
Go here kill this come back
“Another settlement need your help “
The graphics are not horrible at all
this was a terrible video. Many problems, you dont explain well the locations, what you are suppose to do exatcly. Had issues with the dog, you have to command him to enter the room, if you just click on the thing he wont try
The video maker made the assumption that the player had a brain. Obviously a bad assumption in your case. He isn't going to hold your hand and say what a 3 year old needs to see and hear. Most just needed the tip that Dogmeat could get it for them.
@@edmartin875 you sound like a brainless kid and talks about having a brain lol. The video fails to explain how a bug/exploit works, thats all
you're a little late to the party with this one aren't you? it released like a decade ago. Everyone who wanted to play it has played it by this point.
well good to know you didn't bother reading the description :p
I'm sure alot of people aren't as smart as you are sir! Also new people...😂
@@italianblood8174there aren't any new people. like i said, everybody that wants to play it has played it by now.
Fallout 4 is a 9/10 game it's great
*Thanks for 1 like and 0 subscriber* 🤬😡
If anything, this video made me not want to play this game.
It’s too convoluted. I’m not going to waste my summer playing this.
It does require a little brain work, especially in Survival Difficulty, so maybe it isn't for you. Most quitters give the excuse that it is boring. So, don't waste your summer and we promise not to miss you.
@@edmartin875 why are you being a passive aggressive little bitch about it?
Lol dont blay BG3 either than. How is the video too complicated WAHT⁉️
