Fallout 4 is a huge game, and it doesn't always do the best job explaining things you ought to know. Here's a wiki guide to 11 things Fallout doesn't clearly tell you at first, but probably should.

You Can Store Things in Workbenches and Crafting Stations[edit]

Every station and settlement with a friendly Crafting Station is a storage extravaganza. You can use the transfer command to dump your Junk and spare weapons in these locations, and come back for them at any time.

What's even better, is that all crafting stations are linked. Dumped your items into a Weapons Workbend? Head over to the nearby Armor one, and you'll see all your items here as well!

Sep 30, 2017  Fallout 4 General Discussions Topic Details. 10/10 Best Girl. Sep 30, 2017 @ 4:52am Mods for a better pip boy menu? I do like the pipboy and how it functions but of recently i have started to become annoyed with it, and would much prefer a normal menu like the one that you get when you are trading and I'm yet to find one that does change.

This is hugely useful as Fallout 4's complex crafting system requires you to constantly gather new resources for modding and repair jobs. Use fast travel to hop back and forth between Sanctuary and the areas you are exploring and constantly drop offthe excess materials and weapons you've discovered.

You Can't Throw Grenades in V.A.T.S.[edit]

It's weird, but you can't throw grenades from inside the V.A.T.S. system. Even if you individually select a grenade just before entering, the interface will simply refuse to let you throw it. You CAN throw a grenade and switch immediately to V.A.T.S. to try and shoot it down, but it doesn't work very well.

You Can Level and Rebuild Sanctuary to Get Cool Stuff
[edit]

Using your crafting abilities, you can tear down the old houses in Sanctuary (be sure to loot them first) and replace them with new structures of your own design. Build enough beds and setters, as well as accomplish enough Minutemen recruitment missions and you'll soon have a bevy of settlers.

This, in turn, will attract traders who will wander in with new wares to sell, including some killer weapons. You can also level up just by building Settlements. It's extremely rewarding.

Power Armor Stays Around
[edit]

Power Armor stays where you leave it, so if you run out of gas or want to save Fusion Cores don't be afraid to abandon it..just be sure to remember where you dropped it off. The map will display a PowerArmor helmet icon of the location of your Power Armor.

There's a Magical Place You Should Save Your Game
[edit]

Just before ascending the elevator from Vault 111, create a save file. This point marks your last chance to respec your character and allows you to skip the fifteen-minute tutorial with a new game.

It's also worth noting that if your saving your game constantly, and have the game set to frequently autosave, it can get confusing when trying to remember which of your save files are which. Consider saving your game while looking at something important - like a person or place, so you can better identify what you were doing at the time.

You Should Build a Bell
[edit]

As you gather followers, you'll discover that they tend to wander around your Settlements. You can waste a lot of time looking for them, so craft a Bell at your main settlements Workbench. Ringing it will call everyone to you.

You're Carrying a Game Boy
[edit]

Your Pip Boy has a tape drive, and that means you can play your minigame tapes on the go.. no need to wait for a terminal.

You Can Tag Materials You're Looking For[edit]

You can break down Junk at Workbenches to build more Crafting materials, but you'll sometimes find yourself short of key components you need for your projects. That's where the Tag command at the bench comes in. By Tagging a material, you'll cause a magnifying glass icon to appear next to every piece of Junk you encounter that contains that desired element. It's a great way to complete Crafting and mod projects quickly.

Build Mode Tips[edit]

The ability to scrap everything saves huge amounts of time when you're trying to thin out your inventory and put some defenses up around your settlement. Dropping weapons and Junk in build mode and scrapping it draws every last potential component out of the dropped items and wastes nothing.

Unplug Your Suits[edit]

If you leave a suit of Power Armor, you may want to take the Fusion Core out using the Transfer inventory command. Otherwise, NPCs, might grab them when alerted and move them!

Under-Armor and Over-Armor[edit]

Fallout 4 Better Pipboy Mod

There are three kinds of armor in Fallout 4, and they're not clearly defined. Some full suits are sort of self-contained full armor sets. You can't customize them or layer over/under them. Other armor (especially some kinds of clothing) act as an under-armor layer which can be combined with over-armor head, chest, arm, and leg pieces. Experiment in your Pip Boy to see which combinations work.

You Really Do Need To Run for the Vault
[edit]

Did you go right to the vault in the beginning? The game makes a point to insist you go there, but if you don't you'll be in for a surprise. Linger around Sanctuary for a long enough period of time, and you can find out just what happens when the bombs fall and you're out in the open!

Ammo is a Precious Commodity
[edit]

Perhaps more important than the Commonwealth's bottlecap currency - ammo can be hard to come by, especially in the beginning. Remember the following tips to maximize your weapon efficiency

• Besides traders, you can only find ammo off enemy corpses, in ammo crates/Big Chests, and statically placed in the world.
• Increase you ability to find ammo elsewhere with the Scrounger Perk.
• Carry 3-4 different weapons with different ammo types to add variety and spend less rare ammo. For example, having a Pipe weapon (with ammo that can be found easily) a laser weapon (with less abundant ammo sources) and a sniper rifle (rare ammo) lets you fall back to other options.
• Don't let companions waste your ammo. Every human companion has a default weapon that they have unlimited ammo for. If you give them another weapon and have them equip it - they'll need consume ammo to keep using. If you don't want them wasting ammo, make them trade it back to you. They can also grab ammo on their own if they are carrying the right weapons.
• Sell unwanted ammo to buy ammo you need! Once you move on from using pipe weapons, you'll probably start collecting more pipe ammo than you can count - so sell it off for tons of caps and buy back the ammo you need.
• Look in relevant locations to find ammo boxes. Places like military forts and bunkers, as well as law enforcement buildings will no doubt have security lockers filled with weapons and ammo. It's also worth clearing our Raider and Gunner bases to find their stashes as well.
• Always loot ammo. Always. Unlike most items in the game, ammo has no weight - even rockets and mini nukes - so stock up!

You Can Use HTML Tags When Naming Weapons
[edit]

Turns out you can use HTML tags when renaming your weapons! You can underline, bold, and italicize your weapon's name in Fallout 4. In order to do this you must go to a weapons workbench and put the tag in front of your weapon's name.

The HTML tags I've found useful thusfar are the following:

Rapidshare files 64277101 aker. For this reason, Rapidshare.com.cn advises against a user uploading files to Rapidshare.com.cn without the user simultaneously keeping a copy of such files, folders or other content if the content uploaded is of particular value to the user.

• <u> (This will underline the text)

• <i> (This will make the text italicized)

• <b> (This will bold the text)

This is an example of what it will look like in game!

Make sure the tag goes in front of the weapon's name, for example: <i>Deliverer = Deliverer

(This works on all platforms of the game as well)

Having been announced earlier in the year, the Pip Boy edition of Fallout 4 gives you your very own replica of the games infamous wearable to enhance your own in-game experience. Coupled with the cross-platform mobile app for Windows Phone, Android and iPhone, you're about as close as you'll ever get to the real deal.

And it just looks bad ass.

Here's what you get inside the elaborate box.

• Pip Boy 3000 wearable with display stand
• Fallout 4 collectors edition steel case game
• Download code for Fallout 3
• A bunch of foam inserts for different phones
• Pip Boy instruction manual
• Fallout 4 perks chart poster

So what does all that look like? The gallery below has you covered on that front.

There have been some that have passed off the Pip Boy as nothing more than a smartphone case. I'm not honestly sure what else it was ever really going to be, but yes, it does house your smartphone. So long as it's around the 5-inch mark. That in itself is pretty limiting to, well, Android phone owners, perhaps less so on Windows Phone.

There are pre-cut foam inserts for the various iPhones (not the 6 Plus) and the recent Galaxy phones from Samsung. That makes sense, since if you're doing something like this you'd target the mass majority. There is also one you can 'cut to fit' but it's not giving you much foam to work with. I haven't tried yet, but I'll figure out some way of jamming a phone in there.

But yes, it's a very large, very wearable smartphone case. And with a phone inside becomes the biggest, baddest smartwatch around. Though I probably wouldn't recommend going outside with it on. It's a lot bigger than I imagined. But it's very comfortable. It opens up down the middle to strap your arm in, though you will need to put the phone in first since both it and your arm are linked by the main clasp.

I'm not going to 'review' it, because that would honestly be besides the point. It's a bit of fun. It's a great add-on to have in a collectors edition of such a high profile game. The version I picked up also came with a Vault 111 T-shirt and a Vault Boy bobblehead, so I'm pretty comfortable with how much I got for the outlay.

Now, it's time to strap in and go forth into the wasteland.
