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.

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.

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

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

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.

@@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.

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.

If you follow a build to the tee its not too hard on survival mode. I walked into fort strong and corvega lvl 15 and was in and out in like 10 min each. Special 9143191...+1 E from book. Melee stealth build. Rockville slugger Blitz. Sneak. Action boy. Lone wanderer. Ninja. Rooted I could see almost any build feels like a glass cannon on survival. Lots of times getting one shotted. It takes longer to clear places. Not to mention the risk of getting cheesed on the walk back. I highly recommend clearing the top left corner of map. After level 13 or so start do reunion quest. Then do BoS quests. A little ways in you will have access to t60 armor for free and vertibird travel to anywhere you want on the map. Not one time it felt like a glass cannon at that point. Even the legendary creatures I had a few seconds to take some chems. I feel like it could be real easy to mess up what perks you invest in. Focus on damage % output increase and same for defence, like lone wanderer. On normal I just invested in whatever. No focused builds. In some ways it was harder then survival. So yeah from the start of the game having a set out plan can make things a whole lot easier. Two essential tips up to that point with t60 armor and vertibird. Potential pain in the butt. 1. Kellogg, don't speak to him. Place 2/3 mines around him. Step back. Nuke him. Free launcher in that building. 2. Bos quest. Arcjet. Let danse do most of the work. Bonus: use crit hits only on legendary enemies. Bonus: keep 6 or so of buffjet, psychojet, etc..for use if you get ganged up on or legendaries. You can reliably one shot most raiders...even when not sneaking. Two shot super mutants. Lvl 15. I know there are cons to the t60 armor with sneak but for more casual play doing this way, with free travel anywhere on the map feels pritty sweet. Saving its fusion power by getting vertibird to take you places helps alot early on. I took down corvega with 1 fusion core. Last tip clear the place then go back without armor to save its power, and loot the place. Moving junk helps too with the vertibird as you progress further down the map. And yeah it was like on a knifes edge prior to t60 armor lvl 15. I still used a companion as a meat shield up to that point. Only just after did I upgrade lone wanderer from 0 to 2 right away after seeing how much tankier the armor made me. That and it was clear the companion was now a liability more. Didnt get in to Fort strong and nick valentine needed a stimpack twice that mission. It also really helps to set up settlements as you move down the map to save time overall. Most are cleared except Sanctuary where I planted food, water, defence, settlers. Future perks could be going down the luck tree eventually for Grim reaper, critical banker and idiot savant with you int at 1. Kinda long term. Maybe by level 30-35....idiot savant is OP. Could then branch into charisma to get local leader and tie up all your resources to make the game easier. Lots of speech checks too in the game which would be a breeze with that maxed out. Rockville slugger isn't the best weapon in the game but with a sneak vats game style it helps alot. Its also like 1000 caps at diamond city and real easy for anyone to get.

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.

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. 😃👍

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.

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.

Good video but id argue that using Power Armor is absolutely essential to any survival playthrough. I couldnt even imagine doing any fight without it, since even ghouls can kill you in like 2 or 3 hits. The argument that fusion cores adds too much weight doesnt make sense, since using the power armor also allows you to carry more. You wont need more than 3 fusion cores for any given route or mission, so leave the rest in your home base.

Yeah, survival mode is pretty awesome. I tend to install a suite of mods that make some aspects harder and others easier. Tents so I always have a sleeping bag with me, increasing the damage to myself and the enemy to make combat more dangerous but also for the enemy so there are much fewer damage sponges. Increasing the cost of the doctor so antibiotics are much more valuable, making purified water harder to get, ammo rarer, travel between settlements if you have local leader with supply lines. (Lots more but yeah) Though I am playing vanilla survival at the moment, as I'm coming back from a long break and cba with finding out which mods have been broken by the next gen update. xD

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.

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.

-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.

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?

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!.

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 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.
