It feels like 2015 all over again
The show did it… thank you Fallout
@@toxzik8829 right about that
Love this comment
Except my uncle isn’t touching me in 2024 (he’s in prison now)
Also in early game, go to sunshine tidings co op, there you will find a book perk that allows you to harvest double meat from a killed animals. Very helpful in early game
How did I not know that??
Epic
Amazing tip!
survival mode brings the game to life in a magical way I never thought possible, and makes settlement building SO much more relevant and vital. If you have settlements everywhere, all you have to do is make it back to one of them to save, or rest, heal, eat, resupply, etc.
Dude I cant believe I never tried survival mode. I have around 200 hours in FO4 and ive gotten bored, even with mods its the base game that has gotten repetitive. Survival mode has made the base content feel new again, it almost feels like a new game
@@Yucci You get bored because game is so easy on normal mode. Survival mode is actually how the game should be played.
Unless your game crashes before you save.... shit sucks.
@@brandenpaulson132 thats why i try not to go very long without returning to home and saving. I go through a heck of a lot of vertibird granades
@MikeLockheart hahaha. I guess you would have 2. I want to try survival mode but I'm afraid to my game crashes regularly and that shit would just piss me off.
Make refreshing beverages! Not only do they cure addictions, but they heal instantly, and don’t make you thirsty like stimpaks.
Refreshing Beverages are an absolute must! Rank 1 Chemist is a much better investment than 4 ranks in Medic.
Comments:
1. Chemist 1 (Int 7) allows you to make Antibiotics & Refreshing Beverage (best aid in the game)
2. Newka-cola (yes, i spelled that right) is made of 1x NukaCola + 1x Cherry Nukacola = rad-free healing at 2hp/s --> use instead of stimpacks. Also, 1x Nukacola + 1x Dirty Water = a weaker version of Newka Cola, easier to find ingredients, so make a Nuka Cola machine in each settlement
3. Mattresses and sleeping bags have a higher risk of diseases, so only use *beds* (raised off the ground) to sleep
4. Decontamination Arch = never worry about rads again. Set one up in your main settlements and have it on 24/7. I put mine in front of the doorway to my bed so that i use it automatically
5.Build a sink or water fountain (Furniture--> Misc) in every settlement next to your bed, thats your purified water source for most of the game. Drink from it or fill your bottles at it, just like a water pump
6. Purified water, poison caltrops, drugs, unused ammo and pre-war money are your best cap sources. Pre-war money is ideal, since it has zero weight and there is an infinite source of pwm in Lexington that respawns every 8 hours in game time
There is a 3rd way to cure infection. Sleeping for 24 hours has a random chance (high probability) of curing your infection. That sleeping tip (no actual time pass) is fantastic, thanks!
Hunger and thirst will pile up that way tho, not sure if it’s worth it.
@@dathunderman4100% worth it in a settlement, the food and water expenses are negligible there
A 100% power armor survival playthrough is totally feasible if you build your character for it - start with 9 Int and get Nuclear Physicist right off the bat, and avoid sprinting too much early on. The Bobblehead on top of Corvega also helps. Carry extra tin cans around with you so can top off your armor repair at any power armor benches you come across. Clear out Concord and then beeline the story mode for Brotherhood signal grenades.
Fusion cores what about fusion cores?
I agree I have a badass power armor survival character. It way more feasible than the video makes it seem and I find it actually quite fun. As for the heavy fusion cores, you really don’t need to carry more than four maybe five at a time. With strong back and optimized servos, you can carry like 355 lbs which makes it totally doable, especially if you stay away from heavy weapons. There’s power armor stations spread everywhere In the wastes and you can usually find resources to repair it on the fly
When you are sick with an illness, you can wait them out, and they’ll go away by themselves. They last at least 2 days, and some can last a week, depending. Early on, when supplies are limited, you might want to save antibiotics for the really debilitating illnesses, and wait out the purely annoying ones to go away by themselves. You can try and sleep through them, so they go away faster, but since the game does a disease check when you sleep, you might contract something else.
In my experience, the first 10 or so levels are very challenging, and making a build that starts off with one or two very strong combat perks can smooth things out. This may mean going deep into a tree, like Perception’s Penetrator or Concentrated Fire, or Agility’s Blitz.
Always take purified water out of the workshop and store in a separate container. If you don’t, after a certain amount is in it, no more is added. Maintain at minimum 10 more water supply than settlers, to assure some gets added. A bigger discrepancy, say 35 water to 10 settlers, means you’ll get a lot of water added. If you clear a settlement, if you don’t intend to populate it, it might be worth it to put 9-15 water supply there, so you can pick up some if you’re nearby there.
Seriously considering ditching power armor, because swimming makes getting around so much faster and safer. Once you’re in the mid game, you’ll be swimming all the time. You might find County Crossing is the best location to set up a main base, because it’s at the hub of all the water ways. Plus, there’s a 24hr doctor in nearby Bunker Hill, and traders/doctor that have a stop in their route there.
Very helpful
I don’t feel like this is how you’re meant to play every time you get a disease you just spend the next 20 minutes waiting and eating and trying to get rid of it in your settlement?
@@taylorpennington8126 What’s wrong with waiting out a disease?
In my example, I talked about saving Antibiotics for the truly debilitating ones. You can still go about your business, and they’ll eventually go away.
I also talked about the option to sleep off the truly debilitating ones, early game, when resources are low. If you’re super sick irl, don’t you get extra sleep? I mentioned that sleeping it off might get you more sick, since the game does a disease check when you sleep. The inference being that sleep isn’t a cure-all, and you might end up in just as bad a shape.
You can also do work on your settlement while you wait. I’ll put off work until I get sick, and do it then. Or maybe do loot run to someplace you cleared enemies already, but left behind junk.
I mean, it’s in the game. If the game didn’t want them to wear off, they wouldn’t. Like addictions. Those require a cure every time. It’s up to you to figure out your path, there’s options, and none of them are an exploit, glitch, or get out of jail free card. There’s consequences for every thing.
I’m an aqua boy trait lover and I gotta say that I completely disagree on not taking it. It’s an absolute lifesaver when you need to run away, it turns the rivers into your highway system where nobody attacks you unless you stop moving, it moves faster than normal running, and in over 100 hours of survival mode using this trait, I can’t think of a single time I got a sickness while in the water.
Yeah, but it's boring. It makes the game static and passive and there is no fun when you know that you can just get away by going in the water and flee
@@easy_money8936 It's a fallout survival guide for beginners video. It's about surviving.
@@mekrot1 Yeah, I know that, I'm a beginner too. But survival mode isn't that difficult that the only thing that you think of is to survive. And even if it is survival mode, it gotta be fun because it's a videogame. So, having the acqua boy perk for escaping, I find it boring because almost anything can't touch you in the water
Another "Masterpiece" upload of Fallout 4's survival mode, happygosunday. After watching this video, I'm looking forward to starting a fresh playthrough soon! Thank you for all of your contributions to the Fallout 4 community here on RUclips 🙏
Thanks for watching!
I'm struggling with survival mode when tough enemies show up, like the rust devils, on my way to retake the castle.. I have ballistic weave almost maxed out for my armor and hat, some decent metal and synth peices over that, and I still die FAST even with jet, vats, stimpacks, I die. Forget about trying to clear the supermutants for greygarden robots, one has a mini nuke, rocket launcher, and there is nothing I can do to kill him before he gets a shot off, even if I run up wight on him, he fires it point blank, which should kill him as well, but it doesn't. god this mode is HARD but Very fun and rewarding too.
Do you use mods when you play ? If so, I recommend you get My Jetpak. You will find it in the Super Duper Mart. This Jetpak CANNOT be worn with Power Armor. Many times you can escape going vertical. Roofs are my favorite hideout. You can shoot from on high too, but I usually don't. Sneak unseen and be still on a roof and after losing you the Rust Devils will wander off and continue their march.
Use mods to fix dumb AI behavior like that, or you can use power armor to clear him.
This is going to come in very handy very soon, thank you for this video
Nah, a tank power armour build is really good on survival. It and super sneaky sneak (stealth archer) sniper build are the best playstyles for the mode.
Very nice video!
Hint regarding being tired and sleeping when out and about - Use Nuka-Cola to knock back one level of tiredness if sleeping 3 hours in a sleeping bag or 5 hours on a mattress, This can make the difference between waking "still tired" or waking "rested." As you noted, it is impossible to get the "well rested" perk in a sleeping bag or mattress, but at least "rested" means you still have your full AP bar to work with.
Only 230 hours In regular, just picked up survival today and holy heck I'm so glad I did so enjoyable
My biggest fear in survival mode: raiders with endless molotovs
instead of purified water you can chose to make noodle cups from the vegetables you are growing - removes same amount of thirst and fills up your need to eat too
Great video. With the current Gen update (supposedly) on its way this year, I'm hoping more people jump back in. I love FO4, despite its faults.
I'm planning to start a stealth gunslinger soon, using only 10mm pistols and legendary variants. No Deliverer. I just haven't figured out my stats and perks yet.
7:31 - Good tip, but be aware that you'll still undergo an illness check, it'll remove your well-rested buff, and you'll lose a stack or two of the adrenaline buff. Still worth doing though over risking losing a lot of progress.
The deus ex music is a nice touch
Pipe weapons are your new favorite weapons. T51 power armor is a god send, cheap to repair, great resistance when fully upgraded etc. also one thimg to do (for any playthrough) go to Abernathy farm when existing vault 111, talk to lucy abernathy, IMPORTANT: ONLY CHOOSE THE TOP DIALOGUE OPTIONS, even at 1 charisma you'll pass the speech check. This will get her to take melons at 5 caps per melon. Take their melons, go back to sanctuary, once you got people there, plant the melons, collect melons, plant more melons, you'll want 10 settlers, 120 melons planted. That will equal out to a little over 500 caps given each time you go to Abernathy. Its an easy way to get rich with any character. There are 4 settlements in the starting area which has enemies leveled at 1-10, these are, sanctuary, red rocket truck stop, starlight drive-in, and tenpines bluff. Do what you did at sanctuary at all of them, you get a great supply of food if on survival, and each trip to Abernathy yelds 2000 caps. And yes, this is something that can be infinitely repeated.
Haven't tried this yet but if I go to her, how much caps does she have each in game reset. So I know how much I can sell. Does she always have 500 caps or is it lower than that.
Nice music choices. Loved the deus ex thrown in there
Use power armor it makes a huge difference, have your follower carry extra fusion cores and parts for you. Very easy...
I just started survival mode some days ago but my tips would be:
Weapons:
1. Grab a shotgun! But only use it for indoor fights, molerats and other stronger (alpha / or with the star ) variants of any beast / insect. Molerats kann kill you quicker than you think now. Upgrade the shotgun as soon as possible. Also always try to hop on a car or similar higher place where they can't reach you.
2. Grab a melee-weapon with the highest damage as possible. If you find one with more damage, drop / sell the other one! Use it for dogs or other slower enemies. Even Raiders can get killed with that as long as you are fast enough! Attacking out of the sprint will let you do a heavy attack.
3. Make the Laser-Musket your Sniper-Rifle! Not only do you get it for free, but it can also be modded to your first "Sniper-Rifle" within the first hour and no perks needed. You even don't need that amount of ammo if you only use it for special situations. And it's also a "Zoom-tool", too .
In General, don't use any more weapons like those in the beginning except a sidarm, which is good for all if correctly used.
4. Explosives: Even more important in survival mode but use it smart! Fire for humans / creatures and EMP for robots.
5. Get propper Armor! ASAP you should search for the best armor, with high shield stat. Energy-weapons are very rare at the beginning! After that do everything to increse your rad-resistance!
5.1. POWER ARMOR. A big YES! BUT: only use it for special situations! Fusion cores are rare! Also: Upgrade it everytime you can!
6. COMPANION!!! You think you are the hero because you played F4 a dozen times with every ending possible and can do everything alone? Screw you! You are now a NPC! But one who needs to eat, drink, sleep and can get a disease! This is why Codsworth is THE best companion for you! From time to time he gives you purified water and entertains you with bad jokes! What else do you need in an apocalyptic world? Also he has a flamethrower with infinite ammo and a strong melee-attack plus he can carry stuff for you! Tell him to go into rooms or areas you can't oversee. Even if he triggers a fight you let him do the most of the work and assist him. Our thanks to General Atomics!
In a gunfight, always take cover first! Shoot only 2 or three times then back into cover. Especially inside of buildings.
7. Settlement! No you don't need to rebuild the Empire State Building or a fully working farm! Just a place with a bed, something where you can get purified water from and atleast for one, all workbenches etc. should be there!
8. Don't take everything with you, focus on water, food, empty bottles and whatever has a real use for you. Let your companion carry everything thats "heavy"! Use ammo as a second currency! Take all ammo you don't use an sell it to every vendor you meet.
9. F4-MODS I recommend:
Mods which allow you to use a sleeping bag or build a little camp etc. . I also have one which let me save inside of those Pollowsky Shelters. Alternativly take a mod that let's you save. ;)
Next would be a backpack / shoulderbag mod that increases your carry weight. Useful and immersive!
I also use a mod for visible weapons when holstered and a "ambient" mod.
Okey dokey. Hope I could help some people. Feel free to comment your own tipps. 😃👍
Sound right ✅️, Every time I leave my settlement to go do a mission, I have to get ready for the "trip "
Okey dokey!
Yo Know if there us any mod that let me quiksave or teleport? I want have to drink and eat to survive but i hace no that time to travel or go to a camp to save the game
Codsworth is great but it gets frustrating having to repair him and not having the right tools/gear to do so. Maybe it'll come to me.
@jacktorrance3522 Well of course you have to prepare yourself before going back into the wasteland. I would argue all other companions need Stimpacks, so investing time to get the materials which lie around for free, is a price I would pay. Also you can craft those kits whithout any perk!
I might give it a try.
I already play on very hard but survival is leagues ahead.
I love difficulty mods so that might make it even more fun.
If you build a water fountain at a settlement, you can fill up any bottle with purified water. No water purifier needed.
I just started a fresh survival mode playtrough and found 5x antibiotics in first few hours. Damn lucky!
After several hours of going back and forth through the entire wasteland just to get to piper this gives me that ray of hope I needed 😂😭
I also have to remind myself it's survival mode and that I don't have any settlements around the wasteland to help.
Always have faith never give up it gets easier it really does
I ONLY play survival it's sooooooo good but it does have somethings that set it back.
Survival mode is amazing, love it😁
When I started survival mode, 10 endurance so I can get solar powered. Burnt magazines, folders and pre-war money do not have weight. Get armorer and gun nut whenever you can. When you can get to the railroad, do one quest for P.A.M. after you find a Dia chache, you can get ballistic weave. That greatly increases your survivability.
BIG like on your sleep advice.
using the "ultra light build" mod on armor pieces doesn't let you carry as much as "deep-pocketed" but gives an AP bonus which can add up to an additional shot or two in VATS with your most powerful weapon.
Also I wouldn't put more than 1 point in "gun fu" if you're going to be investing in "concentrated fire" because bouncing between several targets negates the benefit of focusing down a single body part & vice versa. But rank 1 of gun-fu is useful & synergizes well with concentrated fire because you can pick a weak one-shot enemy in VATS & then switch to a tougher enemy & focus them down while benefiting from both perks.
Don't take the seven bobbleheads related to your seven stats until that stat is 10. Take the endurance bobblehead when your endurance is 10 and then you have a minimum of 11 endurance.
I'm usually playing all games on hardest difficulty but survival mode in FO4 isn't just "harder". I tried it a couple of years ago by making a copy of my main character and it really adds to the immersion. I wouldn't say theres no other way to play when you've tried it, but it's definitely interesting.
Also, using the UNATCO theme was a nice touch 😉
Including that song from the original fallout during the 4th section of the video made my skin tingle. So iconic omg
Can you still use the vertibird in survival with a BoS playthrough?
after a couple months of playtime, I've recently started Far Harbor on a level 50+ character. I died to the first trappers on the path to Acadia.
1:00 thousands of hours, exclusively in Survival mode, stealth sniper, power armor free, since 2016. Recently my games are permadeath. I enjoyed the video. Thumbs up!
lol you probably have lots of fun stories about survival in the wasteland
@@Valinypse Rewarding and frustrating. Only rarely, my Fallout 4 is no fun, at all. But success based on attention to my build, and self care in world, equals fun!
I've been playing survival for over a year now and didn't know about the lead belly perk not fixing debuffs, noodle cups fixing hydration, or bed saving without passing time.
In survival mode I use the spray and pray until I found a great legendary drop. The explosive combat shotgun. Did you ever is the pistol you want to have so you don't accidentally kill any settlers with explosive rounds.
Hey, i wanned to play survival mode for the Your special glitch, i turned it off to do something else and i cant turn it back on anymore, how do i fix it?
i died to a mine when going to diamond city and was setback like 40min
Yes get the UBERhood of Steel to come as quickly as possible
But always remember to save before a journey, because unlike the Vertibirds the game does sometimes CRASH
thanks for the video!
Planning on doing a VATS dependent sniper build, any advice?
Some solid tips in this video.
Thanks for watching!
so far im having a pretty good time with the gameplay, but the one thing killing it for me is conversations and exploration. I came back to this game the other day after not playing for years (and never actually finished back then) and I figured Id try out survival this time.
The issue is that thirst, hunger, exhaustion, and illness aren't paused during dialogue, so if I take the time to actually talk to npc's during quests, then I have to waste decent amounts of water and food to avoid dying mid conversation, especially if I have an illness that depletes health. Time since I last slept increases too (at a rapid rate), so I lose strength and become over encumbered, forcing me to slow walk to hopefully find a bed somewhere while being constantly damaged from the status. If there is ANY combat after long conversations or exploring in areas without beds available, I'm basically screwed and have to start over.
It feels like I'm forced to just skip through dialogue and never explore interesting areas because I'm punished too severely for trying to engage in the actual story lines. Is there something I'm missing to alleviate this? or is the answer just that this mode is only meant for people who have already experienced everything before?
I was going to get back into this game, until I heard the music from Oblivion in this video. Thank you for that, see yah later!
Survival turned me into one of those people that searches all over for bottles. 😏And I love it! 😂
I totally agree. Get dansk done and take out Kellogg as soon as you can. Those vertibirds are mint. I use SS2 (works nex gen) and clothing mod Grease Rats Garbs or something like that.
Sims Settlements 2 feels perfect. It's like im Hancock. Set it up then im outah here. Ill be back to see how you're doing in a bit.
can you recommend the stats and perks to build
I really like and really want to use automatic weapons in this game. But are they even worth it in this mode??
It's my first time playing the game, I went for survival mode. I installed a mod to save whenever I want so it's not "real" survival mode but the experience has been very brutal and fulfilling at the same time and I feel like I wouldn't really care about the game if I hadn't picked this difficulty. It actually makes me feel like a wasteland survivor, although it does have the downside of me having to save every 2 minutes if I want to me any progress at all. I'm hoping to slowly get better at this once I discover what gear I need and which areas I should avoid until later. So far danger seems to be everywhere. Getting sucked to death by a mosquito or one-shot by a deer that comes out of nowhere kinda sucks but I'm enjoying it in a bizzarre sort of way.
Exploration is where the easier difficulty levels shine. Once you know your way around, Survival should be easier for you. When I played on Survival mode, I was so ignorant that I did not do well at all, so I was unhappy with it. Now I can move from one end of the commonwealth to another in relative safety. If I need to hunt for food I know where many animals are and how difficult it may be to harvest them. Before I get my first settlement built, I know where to get produce from active farms and what they grow. I know many places to stash my low level loot to keep myself from becoming overburdened but available for later retrieval if time and circumstances permit. etc, etc, etc.
@@edmartin875 See, knowing where everything is would kind of ruin Survival Mode for me, though. This way, I always feel the thrill of stepping into the unknown: will I be able to find more food and water? Will I have enough bullets? Will I run out of fusion cores? It's the most authentic post-apocalyptic survival experience and it's the reason why I'm enjoying this game even more than New Vegas.
Also the factory south of greyharden give almost 70+ bottles for purified water
Whats the song at the beginning? It sounds great
I like everything about survival mode, especially the food and water mechanic.
But the no fast travel seems like it will be very tedious in later parts of the game where you need to go to many different places that are of significant distances. If fast travel was just limited to major cities and settlements, it would at least be less tedious to travel out far distances.
I think the worst part about survival for me is my character CONSTANTLY needing to sleep, especially when I had JUST woken up like 10 minutes ago.
please make a video on how to handle all the friggen settlements on survival mode without fast travel
The gun he's holding at the start of the video (looks like a SCAR) is a mod right?
the brotherhood vertibird granades always glithced for me and never worked, the choper would land, but and I could climb on, but it never took off and flew anywhere
Did you try fast travelling while on the vertibird
yes, it just sat there, it never took off.@@undonechrist1384
Survival is nice but i like modding the difficulty on top of it towards realism, where headshots are almost always lethal on humans, ghouls require headshots (i honestly wish that wasnt in the mod) and robots are terrifyingly deadly. I find it makes the game just wonderfully engaging.
Which mod do you suggest for the headshot stuff?
@@ROKUSHAKUBOJUTSU Im using P.L.U.N.D.E.R. but I'm sure there are others
as someone new to survival mode - trying it while doing nuka world - is purified water the only way to deal with thirst? apparently nuka cola does nothing for thirst?
Build a water fountain at every settlement and you can fill any bottle with purified water
i decided to try survival mode once, was around 1 hour in survival mode, i was about to do my first sleep, and then this fucking shit literally the moment i went to sleep in a bed crashed to desktop, reverting me all the way to vault 111, i never did survival mode ever again
Pain
Yup, that's why if you are on pc, you need to play at least with some bug fixes mods and a mod that lets you quick save in survival... Maybe there are mods for consoles but I am not familiar
I'm doing survival mode on xbox one, and anytime I get around good neighbor, or the downtown area, my game starts lagging bad, freezes, crashes... that's my biggest issue but I still fight through it because iv already beat the game three times, and on very hard, got every magazine and bobblehead, and the game just didn't provide a good challenge. Survival mode does. so it is worth the risk of the game crashing, however frustrating. I sleep anytime I see a bed, do an exit save if I can before it crashes when it starts lagging like mad. survival mode should have let us save, it still would have been hard as crap. Since their game crashes and freezes so often around highly dense downtown areas.
@@MikeLockheart I also play on Xbox one. I find it easier with a lot fewer crashes if I travel downtown via the rooftops.
Gotta mod Bethesda games to at least get anti bug mods and performance enhancers.
I want to hace to eat and drink to survive but i want to fast travel and mate Quick saves when i want, is there any mod for this?
The only drawback to survival is missing out on that sweet sweet battlecoat (no way gonna survive a fire fight on the prydwin)
-Complete the Diamond city blues quest (don't split the rewards with Paul and have 2 frag grenades for later)
- There is a sleeping dc guard along the city walls. You can sneak kill him with a mine/grenade or the sandman perk for easy armor.
- lone wanderer perk is mandatory (kinda obvious why.)
- Agility increases your Action Points, while Endurance boosts your health and it also allows you to run longer distances with the same AP.
- The spray n pray weapon is the best early to mid game weapon, but 45 ammo is pricey and you will need a lot of them.
-You can boost your Charisma with a suit/dress, a newsboy cap from diamond city or fedora and a pair of glasses inside the mole rat den beneath the red rocket.
-Picking up weapons from dead bodies will reward you with a bit of ammo from of said weapons. You can trade this for 45 ammo.
Spray and pray is the best
1. You wont lose hours of gameplay unless you arent saving on matresses in the world. 2. Use any guns you want i run a combat rifle mostly for the high damage. 3. Build settlments frequently so you have many places to rest in between raids and traveling. 4. Aim for the head and make your companions attack more than usual as bait. 5. Hunger and thirst isnt a big deal just be careful with stimpacks. 6. Leadbelly and Bloodymess def get Mutants need to feel the WAAAGH!.
Great video. Just to add my 2 cents, if you really want power armor use t51 pieces, they are really cheap to maintain as the repair materials are pretty common
id recommend the raider boss armor from nuka world, it has incredible lay cheap repair costs and pretty good armor resistance plus 3 legendary effects
@@soggyflipflop will try it on my next playthrough. Nuka World is the dlc I've played the least so I didn't know, thanks
Deus Ex backround music is fire
survival is the only way i wanna play fallout ever since I started it. literally a different game from other modes.
I only play fo4 in survival mode now. Lot's of great tips in comments. Not sure if this one mentioned already, saw it on another video...when you first meet Trashcan Carla, choose the sarcastic reply. You'll give her a good laugh and she will give you a discount on prices.
Chemist perk makes getting sick a non issue, antibiotics are easy to make. Scavenger perk makes full auto very good in survival mode, its extremely effective. Take lead belly and eat all the pre war good you want.
Weird that you didn't talk about the disease that just kills you. That was the one barrier I couldn't cope with when I tried survival.
F all of that. I just use a mod that keeps the normal difficulty input/output damage. I get why they boost damage all around but just for my experience it’s more fun not getting one hit and have all other aspects of survival included
I tried Survival mode until I died like 5 times, had to redo the conversation with Piper several times over and couldn't fast travel anywhere. It was a lot more engaging though.
I get infections from sleeping in sleeping mats around the world which is extremely inconvenient but i find theres a small chamce of infection
Endurance is crucial, and also in Survival, Legendary weapons drop more often. Which makes my character in Survival mode is now more OP than my character in Standard mode, LOOOL !
Well tbh you still die pretty fast if you get cocky in survival mode even with OP weapons.In normal mode you can run and fist everything yes but survival mode requires taking cover and using some brainpower.
Fallout crashes too much on console. So i had to instal mods to let me save normally and enable autosaves
Survival mode is the only way I can play the game
Same. I love exploring so much though, I usually have a camping mod. Balances well, since I roleplay only using that in safe/hidden places.
once u get the spray n pray + power armour survival becomes pretty easy
My biggest mistake was making a beeline to Concord. The deathclaw goes down a lot easier with some damage perks.
There's a building that you can go in and the death claw can't access. It's on the corner. Tried the combat armor and got wrecked my first try.
@@deathbyscope are you sure I'm not supposed to pop every Chem I have and then spray and pray??? Cause that also worked several hours later 😅
@@deathbyscope He CAN get in that building. I usually fight him from there, but he has gotten in 4 times. He killed me the first time. I now fight him while standing not so far from the stairs. (TIP : Leave your Companion(s) in the museum so they won't impede your movement or try to stay in front of your muzzle. Dogmeat wants to charge or stay on my heels between me and my escape route.)
@@edmartin875 I swear he could only get his hand in there 😅 been a few years since I tried survival mode
I'm preparing for my 1st run and think this will be alot like grounded on last of us
Third level of Life Giver regenerates hit points outside of combat
I disagree, Aqua boy is a great perk for losing enemies because you can hide in the water and you’re surrounded by water minus Nuka World. First perks I put points into was Sneak. You hit way harder when they can’t see you. Also I purposely made my survival game an “Evil Build” to utilize the fast travel from the Institute/CIT ruins. Different style but goes to show you can really have fun with this mode. Avoiding conflict is in fact the best way to go early on.
I also had a bad week and I eliminated the BOS and Railroad on a whim lol 😅
Sheesh ever since i played survival mode, i've never played other difficulties ever again lol
It seems like everyone I’ve talked to who has played survival mode now ONLY plays on survival. It’s just that good. Thanks for watching!
100% agree
I would definitely recommend getting rad negating perks early. You’re welcome
Would you recommend sim settlements 2 with survival? I hate building and not being able to fast travel
Please make a list of things that you would love to see in the next fallout fallout 5 vice versa also the next elder scrolls
Is Fallout 5 a real thing that's going to happen or is it just a myth ?
What’s the reason for staying away from the pre war food?
Radiation and disease!
What music starts at 6:00 ?, it's so good.
It's the UNATCO theme from the original Deus Ex - one of the very best games ever created and still well worth playing today
@@ajbungah30 Thank you!
I’m guessing you can only produce water in Survival mode
I’m trying to beat survival mode melee only and boy am I struggling
I'd love to playsurvival but my game crashes to often, I'd end up losing all my progress before I could save.😂😂
Why no pre-war food?
That shit is old dude
Really old
I can fill empty bottles with water? Dang thats good to know
I’m enjoying it but early game has 1 issue for me. Goddamn landlines. Instantly dead to something you don’t see and can’t do anything about is very annoying.
Me having anxiety for the game might crash if I don’t find a bed soon
Survival mode makes this feel like a Souls game… Only without Rolling and I don’t keep my Sh*t💀
So doing a power armour run is not possible in survival mode
Anything is possible. It might not be the most ideal build but it can be done
Lmao Watching this while my game is upgrading
