10 Unique Fast Travel Secrets You Totally Missed

Fallout 4's default way of fast travel is as basic as it can get. It's just your typical lazy loading screen, followed by an instant jump to your selected location. It's time-efficient, for sure, but it's not very immersive and doesn't provide any benefits.

Luckily, there is another method of fast travel. And even though it's tied to the main storyline, most people tend to not notice it.

After you reach the institute and become a member, your new nerdy friends will grant you access to their special teleporter.At first glance, it doesn't seem to do anything, as it appears to function similarly to regular fast travel.

In reality, the teleporter is a secret upgrade to your regular form of travel. Not only does it spruce up your arrival at your destination with a flashy and immersive spark of electricity, it is also instantaneous, meaning that unlike normal fast travel, it doesn't skip in-game time when you use it.

Most people tend to betray the institute fairly quickly and miss out on these special features, but if you've ever failed a settlement mission because you got there too late, you probably realize how useful instantaneous teleportation can be.
