Fallout 4 (SPOILERS THREAD)

[ske]

What companion have you guys gone with? Or are you just playing it solo?

Give any unique names to your personal weapons? I got a 10mm with explosive rounds that I beefed up and call 'Boomer.'

Going solo, not even dogmeat. I'm playing sneaky sneaky and companions tend to mess that up completely.
5.3x ranged sneak attacks without breaking stealth is so full of win.
That playstyle also makes combat a lot more tactical, which I like.

I usually prefix my upgraded weapon names with a * so they're stacked first in the list.. no creative names unfortunately.
It's also possible to use limited html tags like <li> <i> etc in weapon names (the tags don't have to be closed)

Pro tip: Get weapons that use the same perk but different ammo, so you can use more abundant .45 or even .38 for weak raiders without wasting your good ammo.
I'm carrying an assortment of silenced pistols (10mm, .45, .50) plus a .44 for crit one-shotting big bads and a maxed legendary institute pistol for when my stealth is blown (got like 3k cells).
Yes, you can make a scoped, silenced .50 pistol!
If you're using VATS and pistols, the PPK you get from the first Railroad mission is godly. I can empty a 16-round clip in one AP bar, and upgraded it has a 96 damage rating with 4 perk stars... so yeah..

You want tactical, get 10 Charisma with Intimidation and try to clear a quest with no kills, pure stealth

After discovering how great ballistic weave armor is for your character, I feel obligated to share with you guys, just in case you didn't know.

If you wear the clothes that goes under the armor pieces, you know how weak they are. The point to wearing them is basically for the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat boosts and that's it. This mod makes it so much better. If you have your armor mod perk all the way to level 4, you can add 110/110 damage, and energy resistance. Even the lowest ballistic weave mod adds 30/30 to whatever you put it on, absolutely worth it!

So once you find the Railroad, after you do a couple missions, and talk to 'Tinker Tom.' He unlocks the ability for you to add this awesome mod to your clothes/armor. It also works for various pieces such as suits, dresses, several uniforms. It also works on a few hats, but none of which I like.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ballistic_weave

There is a link to everything you can upgrade with it and how to get it unlocked, if you didn't already. I'm sure most of you already figured this out, but I didn't see anything about it on here for people who didn't know.


Enjoy!

Still bugs me that Greaser jacket can be weaved, but the Atom Cats jacket can't

On that fallout wiki page I linked, the atom cats jacket and jeans is on the list of upgradeable items, but I assume it's wrong. You had to have tried, and it didn't let you.

lenge siden jeg har sett deg her

[mamba12]

wow, thanks for posting Derk. I did one of those quests for PAM earlier, but i must have not talked to Tom afterwards. It's available to me now that i did a second quest. Super helpful since i have armorer 4. Might just skip power armor with this now lol

Yeah man, I'm wearing the minute men outfit with a newsboy cap and my armor is over 300/300 with those, on top of my armor pieces, shit is soooo good!


Edit: What is the most valuable thing you guys have found off a legendary creature? I got this last night off a ghoul, but I don't use heavy weapons usually.

[Hitmanx123]

legendary

[EmmitBrown]

who grabbed the season pass? i was on the fence since i haven't played in a while but i want the far harbor so i copped the pass before it goes up to $50 since it's only $5 more than the harbor by itself. there's gonna be a bunch of free mods coming, too. supposedly ps4 gets the mods like a month after the xblock.

My best weapon can actually be purchased from Diamond City. "Big Boy" is a Fat Man that fires two projectiles with each shot. Upgrade it with the MIRV package and you have a weapon that can one-shot a legendary Deathclaw Matriarch.

luft, what ammo does the bigboy take? ive been thinkin about buyin that. i haven't played in over a week (i burned myself out farming and selling water) but im about to get back into it.

Mini nukes, good luck making that last, especially if it fires two at a time, I've got about 30 in total from my entire play time so far, that would be gone so fast, haha.
