Fallout 4: 10 Essential Survival Tips For New Players

Making life in the wasteland that little bit more manageable.

As you read this, millions of Sole Survivors are traversing the Boston Wasteland. Many of these people may be experienced series veterans, who will have quickly settled into their new lives in the more colourful, blue-skied climes of Fallout 4. But there's a good chance that the vast majority of people are hopelessly scrambling around in the dead earth, running low on ammo, dying chronically, and questioning those all-important stat choices they made at the start of the game. This list of tips is for those struggling with life in the Boston Wasteland, or those who are yet to awaken from the Sole Survivor's 200-year slumber, and want to be well prepared when they finally venture out into the stark wilderness. It's a tough world out there in the Commonwealth - an area that, contrary to what its name suggests, is filled with hostile humans and mutants, itching to empty your pockets and feast on your relatively radiation-free flesh. So instead of wandering out into the wasteland and perishing like a mole rat in the dirt, read this essential guide for new wasteland wanderers, and equip yourself with the knowledge you need to survive (and have a hell of a lot of fun doing it).
