Designer1 Posted November 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2015 I'm assuming most people know about this, but i'll put it here anyway. Once you have Dogmeat, go back into the first vault and find the Overseers office. Have a look for a locked safe (think it was on the ground) which requires high level lockpicking to open. Ask Dogmeat to fetch items and he will unlock the safe and get you a very powerful weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Tried it half a dozen times and it didn't work. I just got the "Dogmeat didn't find anything" message . :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frobisher Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 I did it at the start of my playthrough, but then has second thoughts and reloaded my previous save without the gun. I enjoy the early hours of Fallout where you have to scavenge for ammo and better weapons, and I didn't want to spoil that experience. I'm nearly at level 18 now, so I can get the perk to unlock it legit. Incidentally, why would anyone take the fourth tier of either lockpicking or hacking? Both seem redundant to me.

lapal_fan Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I don't get hacking.. Like, I know it's words and that, and likeness means that letter in that unknown word match up to the incorrect password, but i dunno, sometimes it doesn't seem fair. I hack about 75% of them, but I dunno what I'm doing wrong with the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 You know if you get to your last attempt at hacking a terminal that if you back out of it and try hacking again your attempts reset, right? The password changes each time you back out, but you'll get it eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I've had a couple where I've had to write them down in order to get it but usually I'm ok IIRC as you go up in levels don't they get longer words? So with 4 attempts it's inevitable you'll end up with a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I get 5 attempts, found a perk magazine somewhere or other to give me an extra try. First guess should be the one with the most common letters in it, then you can normally eliminate all of them or all the others. I've done more than 50 terminals and only had to restart 2-3 times using this method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 My base is marvelous. Spent a lot of time last night making it perfect. I've got a bunch of settlers, crops, animals, and a gigantic structure where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Should youtube guy called robbaz, he sounds like the chef from the muppets and his base is **** amazing.

His fallout videos inspired me to go with the unarmed badass build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunRickyRun Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The game definitely rewards the melee players (you mad mad b*stards!). About 80% of my legendary drops have been melee weapons with a lot of interesting perks. Oh and in the hacking minigame you can get extra lives/wrong words removed by looking for a pair of brackets (sorry donnie) and selecting them eg (%*%^) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) From the Fallout 4 subreddit. Pro tips (etc). Spoilered for length. Spoiler I just wanted to make a list of great tips I find from playing, or reading others tips on Reddit. If I miss something that you want added, leave a comment, I will add it to the OP. Also I will try to keep these tips as spoiler free as possible. Make sure to check back often as I will be adding tips! EDIT: This thread blew up faster than I thought with alot of great tips being added. I will read through the comments tomorrow and help people where I can and update the list with more tips EDIT2: Well it apears someone copied my post word for word and claimed they made it. Don't even credit me[1] I will also be making a fallout 4 survival lets play now that I have the hang of the game make sure to subscribe HERE[2] General Sell Fusion Cores to traders before they run out, you will get much more for a partially charged core, over an empty core. Pickpocket enemies with power armor to steal their Fusion Cores, this will cause them to leave the armor, and you can steal the frame The Lone Wanderer perk still provides bonuses with Dog Meat as a companion When Leaving your power armor remove the Fusion Core so no one will decide to use it. When hacking look for [],(), <>,and {} with anything in between the brackets, clicking the leftmost bracket will reset your attempts to give you more tries, or remove dud words from the list. Try to always carry a weapon of each ammo type, that way you are less likely to be completely out of ammo. Some companions can pick locks and hack terminals for you. More specifically: Cait for lockpicking, Nick Valentine for hacking[3] You can tag specific crafting materials by going into your junk section in your inventory, and switch to material view. There is no level cap. Don't fret about spending perk points. The game's enemies don't scale with you, but they do get harder farther from the start, and the farthest away points of the map have level 50 enemies. There's no shortage of things to take down and no shortage of points to get strong enough to do it. To force a companion to equip, or apparel switch to their inventory in the trade menu, and a button will show up to have the npc equip the item. ( "T" for PC, "Y" for Xbox, "Triangle" for PS4) For Power Armor: sprinting, strong melee attacks and VATs drain your Fusion Core faster than walking or standing still. Fast Travel in Power Armor doesn't use and Fusion Core battery, and you can still fast travel with no charge in the core. You can zoom in on the pip boy by right clicking. Crafting You do not need to break down junk items to get components by hand the game will do it for you if the junk items are stored in your settlement workbench or inventory. Extra resources will be deposited in your settlement workbench.(It may take some time to appear) You can grow your own adhesive by cooking Vegetable Starch with Corn, Tato, Muttfruit, and Purified Water. When naming weapons, put a hyphen or space at the beginning of the name (EX: -gun name), and those weapons will default to the top of the list in your pip-boy.(Thanks: CromeDaBeast[4] ) If you look at the Junk section of your inventory you can switch to a list of all the components your junk breaks down into (with C on PC). In that list you can set or remove a search tag. When you upgrade a weapon, the current mod will be placed in your inventory. If you transfer all mods to your workbench, if you put that upgrade on another weapon, it will use the mod before crafting a new one. You can salvage weapon sights by modifying the weapon with the no sights attachment, which costs no resources to make. If a gun/armour has a mod you can't build, you can still swap the mod out and install it on another weapon. Settlements When building settlements you can raise and lower objects by holding E and using scroll wheel on PC, X and L1/R1 on PS4 When building your first settlement use E to move the initial workbenches instead of scrapping them. You can remove the radiation from Starlight Drive by scrapping the barrels in the center, and the Unrusted Crashed Car. Water pumps, farms, and traders deposit the Items and Caps they produce into the workbench. To help place objects in hard places use a small rug then place the object on the rug, pick up the rug and the item will remain attached but the game uses the rugs collision detection.(This allows you to clip objects into walls!) To assign settlers select them in the crafting screen then select the object you want them to work Settlers can work up to 6 Food at a time. Meaning a settler can tend to 12 plants that produce .5 food each. To reduce raider attacks make sure your defense state is higher than food + water. Highlighting a settler in workshop mode will also highlight anything he's assigned to. Fast Travel in between settlements will instantly grow all crops that have a settler assigned to them. When your selecting something through the workshop build interface if you press and hold the move command(Press and hold [E]) this will pickup all items attached(or very close) to the object you are picking up. (Be careful as if your walls are all attached you can pickup very large parts of your settlement!) Edited November 18, 2015 by The_Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
