What If You Kill All the Synths Instead of Using the Engine Core's Rocket?

  • Have you ever thought about what would happen if you just killed all the synths instead of using the Engine Core's rocket in the first quest given by Paladin Danse in Fallout 4? To find out, I went with Paladin Danse to ArcJet Systems and reached the point where the synths attack him. However, I also decided to see what happens if I don't interfere and let Paladin Danse deal with all the synths himself.

    As a laser weapons person, I did this and now I'm on infinite ammo. Never have to scrounge or pay for fusion cells again. Absolute farm hack.
    Edit: I can confirm it did Me well but it does run out. Had to build a water farm to keep up.

      The game is buggy enough as it is. Do you really expect the devs to make the game infinite as well? You're insane. Your expectations are wayyyy too high. Some things just aren't possible. Keep in mind this is a near ten year old game. Developers can't create infinite code for infinite possibilities

    • @jakeroscoe8238
      @jakeroscoe8238 Před 16 dny

      ​@@tesseract5569The issue is, older games in the series, such as New Vegas do a much better job of exactly that. Fallout 4 justifiably received criticism for stripping down the RPG elements, and narratively making your decisions have little impact on the game world and progression. It has nothing to do with technical limitations or the age of the game. Fallout 3 and New Vegas do all of these aspects better. I enjoy Fallout 4 in it's own way, but this is a pretty universal opinion.

    fun tip for everyone, primarily those not playing on survival mode tho: If you just let dance keep fighting the synths you can essentially get unlimited fusion cells. Very easy way to have near infinite ammo for laser weapons and to get a bunch of caps if you decide to sell the ammo. I only say this isn't so much for survival players because ammo has weight in survival. You can still use it for a good bit of ammo or money though!

    I usually just close the security doors and watch Danse kill like a hundred synths until I get bored. I have 30-40 various institute pistols, rifles, and shock batons each, I get Righteous Authority (pretty good early game weapon) and 1,200-1,500 fusion cells for it. That plus looting out Arcjet makes for a pretty good start.

    Sometimes for me whenever I press the button to use the rocket Paladin Danse will just straight up die and I cannot join the Brotherhood of Steel

    I've just started playing fallout 4 for the very first time, and I just killed all of them, I thought that was just the thing you were supposed to do lol

    I originally didn’t press it because I kept dying to it

    I rly wish they did more with danse's backstory...like dude never brings backup the fact he "killed" his best friend because he was turned into a super mutant even when you show him they can be turned back human lol

    I don't have to imagine it, I did it 2 days ago.... he'll douche most of the synths with his laser gun pretty quickly though.

    Turns out you can activate the engine from the top floor too via terminal if you don't use the button at the floor level. Incidentally you can also die from the engine yourself. After all the synths were killed I tried to run the engine but was curious what happened if you stayed in the hallway with the door open. As soon as the engine fired it roasted me to a crisp.

    First time I ever played the game I did this quest and pressed the rocket button, I thought it was gonna kill danse some reloaded a save from a few seconds ago to just shoot all the synths

    First time I played I used the rocket. Never again since, wouldn't want to hurt my pal Danse 😢

    Been letting dance farm the synths since my second play through with this method. It takes only 15 or so minutes to 2k fusion cells. Just stand behind the door, get a snack and go do something while he fights them off.

    Until my current playthrough I always just killed all the synths and always did the test fire after... I also didn't care enough to actually listen to danse because I didn't realize I didn't really need to press the button after

  • @jerrylove865

    I always did this. In-game, the engine seemed likely to kill Dance (though I know he can't actually be killed), so I never tried it.
