9 Things You Should NOT Do in Fallout 4
There is a lot of freedom in the irradiated wastelands of Fallout 4. You can go almost anywhere, do almost anything, and shoot almost anyone. But just because you can do something doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Here are nine things you should not do in Fallout 4:
1. Don’t Waste Your Fusion Cores Early On
Conserving Fusion cores is crucial for using power armor efficiently. While it’s tempting to play around with power armor in the early game, save your cores for when you truly need them.
2. Don’t (Necessarily) Max Out Any Attributes
Avoid pushing your stats above eight during character creation to optimize your perk structure. Certain items can already boost your attributes beyond the highest perk tier.
3. Don’t Hurry and Forget to Save
Take your time with side quests and interesting characters. Make regular saves to avoid losing progress or missing essential details.
4. Don’t Waste Your Precious Super Ammunition
Save specialized ammunition for boss-level threats or challenging enemies to maximize their impact.
5. Don’t Forget That Water Is Bad
Avoid drinking unfiltered water as it retains radiation, leading to health issues like radiation poisoning.
6. Don’t Explore With Your Pockets Full
Regularly clean out your inventory at workbenches to prevent over-encumbrance during exploration.
7. Don’t Leave Anything Behind
Scavenge for junk items as they are valuable crafting components necessary for building structures and modifying gear.
8. Don’t Travel Alone (Most of the Time)
Utilize companions for extra firepower, carrying capacity, and conversational context. Consider using the Lone Wanderer perk for solo play.
9. Don’t Forget Where Your Power Armor Is
Store your power armor suits in easily accessible locations, like settlements, to avoid losing track of them.
