15: Every Weapon you pick up adds ammo to your inventory, even when you drop it right after to free your weight or to scrap it, so keep on looting them.
Base clothing that goes under armor is also really handy to get used to for two reasons. One, a fair number of such clothing options (like military fatigues) can improve your stats. Second, once you get your hands on ballistic weave, you can modify that clothing to be pretty much as protective as normal armor, and as far as I'm aware, it stacks with any augmented armor you're wearing on top for maximum protection.
It wasnt bad at release, just the dialogue isnt as robust as New Vegas. Now that there is DLC and an next gen update, this game should be extremely solid.
It’s still considered a terrible game. Poor gameplay and graphics. Non existent story/RP. It was most liked at launch. But most players never actually finished the main quest line. Just such a bland boring experience. Fo4 is only fun with mods.

This video though, is more like a summary of the “things the game tells you, but most people don’t read everything” Real tip: catch, tame, a cat, it will hang out by the cat food bowl.
You should also have at least 1 point in the scrapper perk. Looting weapons and armor over-encumber you really fast, while crafting materials weigh next to nothing in comparison. However, you are throwing away caps if you scrap gear without this perk.

There's a bunch of stuff going unmentioned here, like at 4:25 your building limit gets freed up because you're scrapping guns you dropped from your inventory.
This game received so much criticism in its first year, but when you take into consideration all other modern open world games after this year, fallout 4 is arguably one of the best. So much replay ability, the shooting and looting mechanics are amazing, plenty of cool characters, great dlc and far harbor does a ton story wise if you didn’t like the main story, plus the crafting and settlement building offers infinite creative potential. There are downgrades on dialogue, but there are so many unique places to visit on the map, quests, and the overall lore in the game is still great.
In its release it got compared to older Fallout games, which didn't merely have more dialogue but much more dynamic stuff happening around factions or better lore such as a justification for why bottle caps are a currency existing in Fallout 1 while say New Vegas gives you a justification (and use) for 3 separate currencies which circulate.
If you max out your settlement "size" you can go find a bunch of weapons and junk and bring them back and scrap them inside that settlement and it will think you scrapped pieces of the settlement and allow you to build more things!
2:30 If you play on survival mode, where you only get three rolling autosaves, when you get to this point, even if you're other wise happy with your build, make sure you change your name. This will start a new set of saves and leave your old save just before you get to the elevator intact. If you want to try another build you can go back to that save and make the changes you want rather than starting from scratch.
It didn’t “capture the tone” on purpose. Each Fallout has its own tone by design. The main story was better in 3 than 4, but Fallout 4 was better in literally every other way though.😂
You can scap weapons at the weapons bench and armor from the armor bench everyone seems to miss that imho it is quicker then dropping and using the settlement system to scrap.
Correction: Recycling the structures will deposit any items inside containers into your workbench. So no need to really loot the place when you can just go through in build mode and recycle
Great video! Just as a point of clarity, on Playstation when you're looking at your list of save files to load, the top one in the list is always your most recent save.
@Deadsphere You must be in the dark about the current-gen upgrade coming next week, this video is merely a small hint boost for any new players who aren't familiar with fallout 4
Fallout 4 tutorial video 9 years after release......( I'm joking btw ) I'm glad the Show has brought so many new people to play this amazing series and I'm even happier about the Fallout 4 Next-gen update coming next week....4 is my favorite mainly because I'm a Masshole born and raised baby!!!!!
In Vanilla, you have to supply all the ammo for any weapon you give to your Companions, assuming you select it for them to use, instead of just carrying it for you.
This is one of my most-played games ever and I've never needed the scrounger perk and I've CERTAINLY never purchased ammo from a trader (what a horrible suggestion).
Manual shooting is better than vats most of the time but you still want to use vats so you can bank a critical for those dangerous moments where you need to do alot of damage and it guarantees a hit.
Fallout 4 creates save files by characters name, you actually dont need to do what IGN says. If you create multiple characters, you can boot up by the character name
Workshop areas are not all connected unless you assign an NPC as a trader connection to it. Establish a central hub you like and then when you find new workshops, assign an NPC there as a trade connection
@@chromeboi9 LOL. Working the settlement means about 7 jobs other than settlement guard until you build stores and can assign a settler to tend each one.
Remember to get the ballistic weave perk from the railroad faction you can get it without siding with the faction makes it so you can boost the armor of regular clothes like dirty Army fatigues
Also don't know when hacking a computer you can cycle through all the letters and numbers until you come across a bracketed section it will take away the words that are duds and even give you one try reset from time to time
You will also find Work Stations all around the Commonwealth, not connected to the settlement system, that you can use for temporary storage of all the weight dragging you down.
In 8 and a half years of almost daily playing Fallout 4, I have NEVER had ANYTHING stolen from ANY of my workshops. Settlers will pick up any weapons and ammo they find on the ground or a dead body if they find something better than what they already have.
Even when taking the cell from a power armour they sometimes disappear unexplained.... but if you make a raised level or closed room that is accessible only to you and put it there, then it won't (99% of the time). In the misc menu tab, you can select components to see what items arre used to create that item and you can tag components you need or want to look out for due to rarity.... that will make anything containing that component glow so you can find them more easily.
If IGN could bring attention to the fact that Fallout 4 is crashing at boot on ps5, that would be more productive than this video. It's embarrassing that the week the Fallout tv show is released is the same frame of time the most recent game patch makes the game you're featuring unplayable.

Power armour…. should have mentioned that if you leave it at an outpost, with a fusion core, the residents will climb into it and use it while under attack…
All Companions are useless when you can turn Codsworth into a 600lb Junk toting Tank with Gatling Lazer and Missle launcher attachments. Its like having a personal Big Daddy
THE THING... in Fallout 4. OK.. it may be just conjecture or coincedence that MacReady is a character in Fallout3 and 4.. and is also the name of the main character in (Kurt Russel( in the 1980s remake of the original movie.

The settlement building is one of the best parts of the game. Survival mode makes it even better.
Didn't you hear? It just works 😀
Differently from the "updated" Starfield base building, unfortunately
If you get trade routes going, your stored workbench inventory can be accessed from any settlement's workbench along the trade routes.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that fallout fans are never happy until at least 1-3 years after something releases
If you max out your settlement "size" you can go find a bunch of weapons and junk and bring them back and scrap them inside that settlement and it will think you scrapped pieces of the settlement and allow you to build more things!
You don't have to scrap them, just store them in your workshop after throwing them on the floor.
@lennyghoul no way. That's awesome. Can you then throw them down again repeating the effect?

It also doesn't tell you that if you side with the Minutemen, you're gonna be the one doin all the work while they freeload
Bethesda really missed the boat not having a new Fallout game ready for the series launch
There wouldn’t have been time to make another game when the show went into production.
Looking at sales of all the old games they cashed in very well 😂
Hundreds of hrs in this game and never finished it anyone else
Same club!
One does not simply finish fallout 4…..because another settlement needs your help, I’ll mark it on your map!
Wow really?
I'm only like 3 hours in and it's super overwhelming
Same here. Have over 1000 hours in and never completed
Ive played fallout 3, new Vegas, 4, and Skyrim and never finished a single one 😅 they are still fun though. They are just sooooo long
Are they making this video for The Next Gen update next week ? 🤔
Of course
And because all the fallout games have seen a significant player increase since the show released
IT GETTING A NEXT GEN UPDATE!?!?! 🤯
is the update free?
@@iamsparechangeYes. Dropping on the 25th
The game did fine. It didn't capture the tone as strongly as 3/NV did, but it did fine. Base building was an interesting and new touch.

Don’t forget to take your fusion core out of the power armor if your leaving it for a while. Just a thought. Great video.
You can scap weapons at the weapons bench and armor from the armor bench everyone seems to miss that imho it is quicker then dropping and using the settlement system to scrap.

Fallout has completely taken over my algorithm
Always remove your fusion core from any power armor you store/ stash away.
If there is a workshop nearby you can store it there.
Great video! Just as a point of clarity, on Playstation when you're looking at your list of save files to load, the top one in the list is always your most recent save.
Jeez, it's kinda like Fallout is really popular again all of a sudden and Fallout 4 is the best of those games to play? Rhetorical question BTW.
still FNV
Also pick up any gun you find, then drop it immediately if you don’t want it,it gives you extra ammo
If you dont go to the vault at the start, you should be ghoulified
You can tell a companion to loot corpses and container endlessly. It takes a little patience, but you come home with a truckload.
You're telling us this now after 9 years of the game being out
theres an obvious reason for it
Current-gen upgrade coming soon
@Deadsphere You must be in the dark about the current-gen upgrade coming next week, this video is merely a small hint boost for any new players who aren't familiar with fallout 4
Yes they are because everyone including new players are on the fallout trend again thanks to the TV series.

I’m currently on my game console watching someone play a game on a game console in which someone is playing a game in the game console lol
Man I’m glad fallout is back in the spotlight
All companions only need 1 ammo for any weapon other than a nuke launcher. Check it out. Never had to give them ammo at anytime.
With a mod maybe. . .
In Vanilla, you have to supply all the ammo for any weapon you give to your Companions, assuming you select it for them to use, instead of just carrying it for you.
That only applies to settlers, not companions
This game is really ahead of its time.
Can’t believe IGN doesn’t put the trick where you only need ONE ammo for your companion to use the weapon infinitely
Wait what
@@SlabbyMess turns out it is for settlers not companions. My bad
Always loved this game even when it came out and I'm now happy that people are looking at it fondly especially after the television show is out.
Fallout in 24? That survival run is gonna hit different
This is one of my most-played games ever and I've never needed the scrounger perk and I've CERTAINLY never purchased ammo from a trader (what a horrible suggestion).
Makes you feel old seeing this 8 years later
Such a helpful video I’ve been lost all these years 👍👍that’s two thumbs up by the way if it wasn’t OBVIOUS.
Manual shooting is better than vats most of the time but you still want to use vats so you can bank a critical for those dangerous moments where you need to do alot of damage and it guarantees a hit.
Maybe on PC. Trying to aim with my thumb moving an analog joystick is more than difficult on my Xbox One.
Nice editing for #12
Not showing what happens when you try to leave Sanctuary instead of going to the vault
It was intentional to not be a spoiler ... 😉
Fallout 4 creates save files by characters name, you actually dont need to do what IGN says. If you create multiple characters, you can boot up by the character name
When storing your power armor at a settlement (or anywhere) remove the fusion core, or a settler might take it during an attack.
Workshop areas are not all connected unless you assign an NPC as a trader connection to it. Establish a central hub you like and then when you find new workshops, assign an NPC there as a trade connection
Build armed/armored sentry bots to send out as provisioners. Very tough, and leaves more NPC's to work settlements.
@@chromeboi9 LOL. Working the settlement means about 7 jobs other than settlement guard until you build stores and can assign a settler to tend each one.
