Fun fact about the Your Special book. Even to this day it checks your current special stats. So if your strength is lowered by a drug for example, you can use the your special book to raise strength. Then when the drug runs out you have 11 in a stat.
He did video about that before. You can take it even further by putting the difficulty to survival and taking all the penalties for starving, dehydrating, and not sleeping to put your stats even lower before duplicating the special book. You'd end with almost 20 in most stats that way
@@ChickenKinglolz The only limit to stats (via this particular exploit anyway) is how many sources of temporary penalties you can stack. For something like Strength this means using things like Starving (-10) and Day Tripper (-2) so I think your cap is 23 after the bobblehead. Perception though can go until the intergers start to over/underflow by stacking Drugged Water.
@@ChickenKinglolz I can't remember off hand, but there is a cap on special points. The books quit working when you reach 10 in all stats, and bobbleheads can give +1 past the cap. So the cap is 10 + 1 + however many dbuffs you can stack on a given stat. Think that puts str and endurance at 20, and the rest a little less.
He did used to just steal them. Then there was a period where there were no watermarks at all, but people didn't like that. They missed the watermarks. That's when he started adding the Spliff co watermark
Hes probably not putting it there to "look like he stole them"... he's most likely putting them there since he has bought the image and now legally owns, so if someone where to steal and use it it it's easily identifiable...
@@K0LBIE No, I remember him explaining in an old video that people just liked the watermarks and that's why he has the spiff co watermark now. I doubt he cares if anyone uses his stock images.
@@I_Mark_Mills From what I have heard, he had problems with companies that look for stolen stock images because they assumed he stole them due to the watermarks. To avoid this from happening again, he used the proper images, but after mild backlash he made his own watermark.

Honestly this video just made me realize ive never used the cryolator in fallout 4 in all the time ive played it since i always just tend to forget about it 5 seconds after leaving the vault
I vaguely remember trying it, but I honestly can't remember if it was Fallout 4 or Fallout 76's variant. I just remember being disappointed in the results. I have over 4,900 hours in Fallout 4 alone (no mods outside Creation Club and one low-hp run where I modded the "omg i r dying" effects out of the game for that character)... and definitely haven't done a cryolator-specific playthrough. Maybe I'll have Riddick mess with it later, he's my current wasteland critter using VATS blitz melee.
The propflying exploit isn't patched even in the latest release. Neither is vlc clipping. Just grab an item, place it under you, crouch, grab hold of the item and uncrouch. Rotate the item in your hand and it will increase or decrease the effect. You can fly up skyscrapers, and clip through the map like the walls and roofs are merely suggestions. My favourite application that I am proud of finding is skipping the like 5 tiny quests required to get best girl, curie. Just enter the vault, grab a cone, clip through the roof in one of the corners, and jump into the exit elevator. This gives you access to go down to her with 0 risk of molerat disease.

When I first played it I didn't have a problem with Preston Garvey or his quests. Because he I thought you could complete the settlement quest line if you recruited all of the settlements and I really thought the settlements would play a major part in the game. I thought it was going to be a case of fighting and defending settlements from other factions. The more settlements you capture for your faction the better you do in the main story. Especially with the defense system I thought there would have been scripted sections in the main story where you could lose settlements to other fractions if the defenses weren't high enough. I really thought it was going to have a big strategy aspect to it where taking the right settlements and using them efficiently would be a major factor. Railroad takes settlements to help free more synths. BOS conquers settlements to get more resources. The institute completely replaces settlements with synths as F.O.B. While the Minute Men are fighting for the sake of the people of the Commonwealth. They could care about synths like the railroad but say human lives take priority. Maybe making synths fight for them instead of wasting human lives which would put them at odds with the Railroad.

Magic!
That works for all stats, so save, go without food for a day, get your stats up via the books, and when you eat again, all your stats are now 11+, so the limit no longer applies and the sky is the limit

It’s amazing how quickly developers react to glitches that don’t really harm play, but can add fun, while they’re so slow to fix actual bugs and provide qol improvements.
To play devil’s advocate here, it’s possible that those bugs that are fun are MUCH easier to fix and they don’t want to appear as if they’re doing absolutely nothing for the game.
I don't know. Seems a bit like cognitive bias. Tough some devs will do absolutely anything to stop you from playing the game in any other way than they intended, even if it is fun.
If you could just exploit the game in vanilla, a lot of players will exploit the fun out of the game. Because not doing so is suboptimal. Patching out those glitches only makes them less accessible. If you really wanna cheat, you can just use the console. It’ll do the same thing.
@@JokerDoom primarily talking about single player games. How can you “exploit the fun out of the game”. E.g. I want to bring in Brotherhood early, simply glitching in allows me to explore the wasteland with the brotherhood without even going to Diamond City. My thoughts are, I was on ice for a long time after kid was stolen (which turns out to be right), let me try to rebuild the wasteland with the various factions in play until I find some reason to think my kid is still alive. It’s like devs are saying, only enjoy the game as we intend, ignoring the greatness of the worlds they’ve given us. Another game, RDR2, glitches to explore New Austin as Arthur removed…I’m just enjoying the beautiful world they created…but they want force me down a path that, especially on 2nd play-thru, I don’t care about; I just want to wander from horseshoe overlook & see & do it all…but they couldn’t even make it to where I could cook 2, let alone more, pieces of meat with 1 command Oh, and I play on console for the most part, so can’t just go to console commands. It’s not about making my character more powerful, it’s about opening options.
What you can do with regards to the "you're special" book to increase your stats to about 20 in each, is go on survival, wait 6 days on a chair so your hunger, thirst and tiredness is at it's maximum, increase them all, then eat/drink/sleep or change to any other difficulty and your stats are at a ridiculous high, especially as you can do at level 1, If you use items that debuff you aswell you can increase certain special stats even higher
The purest expression of love, playing a game's release build and refusing to update it, as you trust in THE TODD HAWARD so much, and trust his creation is perfect thus any alteration is tainting it. Well played, sir.
Man this takes me back. Them patching out the Dogmeat duplication glitch is actually what inspired me to write a batch file to give me 100 of every junk item in the game, because I used to use Dogmeat as my junk supply.
You can get more By taking a med to reduce a point, you can take that stat from 10 to 9, use the book to get 1 more point and then the med wears off leaving you with 11 permanently

I hope you can cook up something equally as GLORIOUS for your upcoming "Hardcore Fallout with 1000 mods" series, perfectly balanced, as all things should be👌
you can't be a war criminal if you're just an employee of the state. governments aren't people, they're allowed to genocide things and basically can't be punished for it diplomacy and geopolitics is a totally balanced game with no exploits !

And the fact You can still use him for the glitch in the recent update is crazy like You know your company are gamers whenever they leave bug like that give people a head start 😂
Fallout 4 with the new update is my first fallout game. The gameplay glitches are quite fun, but the amount of bugs in this game is insane. Never has a solid playthrough, something always goes wrong.
I didn’t have anything go wrong until my second playthrough. I can’t get Preston to give me the quests anymore. I’m sure to most that sounds good but to me I hate it. I actually like those quests and now I can only get them through radio freedom
I actually did this recently my self, on the 27th, you also didnt quite do the ammo trade right, you double the ammo they had when you started then just click the ammo in thier trade side and it doubles that making it faster to where its they owe you 400,000 or more. Also the ammo that you cheese shouldnt be in your inventory other wise it eats your ammo of that type. i.e if you got 10,000 .308 rounds, dont do 308 other wise they go to that vendor. Best ammo vender i found and easiest to get .45 and .10 etc is vault 88 little bench to sit on near + shipment of fibor optics which dont come normally till BOS show up, and Shipment of nukelier mats. I usually do the molotov cheese with resource exploiting. adhesive, glass, oil and cloth. Bit more items but once your done you can trade them to venders and you dont need to deconstruct. (this will be explained soon) You also missed Kats relation ship exploit fast traveling with out anything equiped to the character yes you know what i mean, Some how cheeses her affinity. In 4-5 fast travels you basicly get her quest. Now why is all this important? Well if your on console like idk the Xbox :D and if you have a disc copy (very important) you can go offline uninstall the current version install from disc while offline proform all these nifty tricks and then once your satified pop it online and update the game, How fallout works on console is they sync the offline to online files meaning you can then achivement cheese with a god character in the story. Which is why molotov selling is a thing after you return to non broken trading.
1:54 this was apparently debunked, by Emil himself who said he didn't know why anyone believed him (I mean, who would believe a developer of the game when they say a thing) ~
@Safetytrousers only if your close enough from afar without the concentrated fire perk? No it doesn't besides my original comment is based of release version of Fallout 4 where MacCreedy's killshot perk is broken for first 6months the game was out
There is another glitch with the workshop that has exponential growth. If you drop the raw material (such as copper) on the ground, and press and hold the 'store' and 'scrap' buttons simultaneously, you can duplicate the raw material by twice every time. For example, if you start at one copper and preform the method 10 times, you get 1x2^10 copper back.
I clearly recall being outright shocked how few bugs I've encountered back in 2015 at launch. I mean that was just my experience of course. Well apart from the occasional frozen frame on Xbox.
Do you know if they are working on Fallout 5? I'm supposing if they were planning on releasing Fallout 5 in the next few years they would have probably waited a bit and give us the television series at the same time than the game so that it boost their sales. Right?
@@Alfred-Neuman very likely yes. todd howard just recently did a interview talking about fallout and the show respectively and said that he wants to start making elder scrolls and fallout faster because they are tired of them taking so long as well. that’s me paraphrasing but that’s essentially what he said. i would wager they didn’t expect the fallout show to be as successful as it was and are now looking to fast track fallout 5 first instead of elder scrolls 6 like they planned. i wouldn’t get your hopes up but it COULD come a lot sooner than anyone thought.
@@Alfred-NeumanMicrosoft definitely want a fallout game to come soon, yet Bethesda seems to be stuck in with elder scrolls 6 at the moment. There is a theory that Microsoft, since they now own Bethesda and as such it's IPs, might get another studio to work on another fallout game. It might be Obsidian, as they developed new vagas and are also owned by Microsoft. Yet most of the Obsidian staff have since moved on, with only a few devs remaining. Chances are the next fallout, if not developed by Bethesda, would be a side game rather than a main line entry
@@ethanedwards422 I didn't even know that Microsoft was owning Bethesda now, it tells you how much I'm following these news... lol I find it kinda sad to be honest.
Unfortunately Britain is only one of like every country that participated in what is classified as a war crime in 2024. I doubt any countries that took part in War, yet didn't commit war crimes documented or not is greater than like 5. War never changes bruv.

The dog can phase the gun out of the cabinet because Dogmeat’s playing the VR Version (You can just reach into the cabinet and grab it in Fallout 4 VR)
I forget where it was but there was a building where you could use a trash can to float up and pick a safe with synth leg armor that made you either permanent invisible or unlimited sprint
I remember when fallout 3 just came out. I couldn't even play it on my potato pc and i used to go home and watch my dad play it on he's. But it was one of the craziest games of its times. It was the first game i ever saw where you could travel scenes in 3rd person, and store a item in a chest, and travel all over the map, come back and your item would still be in there. The loading screen and menu had such idk sewer vibes. The sound of the screen projector playing as you start it up. It was just a classic
The loss of that dogmeat trick is actually why I stopped playing Fallout 4 which I own on Playstation. I realized I did not care whatsoever to walk around dealing with the Fallout environment just to try to get building materials for Settlements (which I purchased the game for). I hated that none of the factions can be said to be "good" or can be forced to be good, I hate that powered armor is so limited by energy cores that shouldn't be able to run out of power in a human lifetime, I hate spongey enemies, and I despised the twist of finding Shaun.
Energy cores are easy to find. The Minute Men are the only and truly good faction of the game. And you can choose the "super easy" difficulty for the combats.
Dude you are the best! Your videos makes me chuckle at the old bugs from games I used to exploit myself. I have never played fallout ever but it makes me wonder and interested in trying it after seeing you play. Cheers! Time to make some TEA!
This was the version i played for years before i got the internet, i installed the game at my aunt's, i didn't know it had updates or anything, I'd just play it like this
Little does he know you can “lower” your special stats with addictions and starving yourself in survival and use more special books to have your stats at >10 👀
Yeah! The special book doesn't check for temporary negatives like -1 int from alcohol so if you have 10 intelligence drink a beer to make it 9, wait for it to wear off your intelligence will be 11. It can be done with negatives you get in survival mode too. I don't know what the limit is.
the dogmeat glitch for gun in vault 111 still works after update I just did it, exception dogmeat doesn't drop the gun on the ground but has it in the inventory all you gotta to is trade after you will find gun and 200 rounds
My Friend put Yorkshire Tea mixed with room temperature Death Wish Coffee; it's apparently called Yuenyang and it's as umm... itneresting as you expect.
That confused meme about the 'graphical update' was just gold. It's wonderful when a game breaks roughly 7 years of mods for an unasked for and unneeded update that does it worse then the mods.
@@jadedrivers6794 I've already done that, but the 'update' didn't actually update anything and it's been a hot minute since they last patched the game.

If you use items that debuff you aswell you can increase certain special stats even higher
Survival was added later. It is not available on the release version of the game.
The purest expression of love, playing a game's release build and refusing to update it, as you trust in THE TODD HAWARD so much, and trust his creation is perfect thus any alteration is tainting it. Well played, sir.
I like the idea of you playing original release versions of these newer games.
I am so glad you're still rockin' these vids and getting lots of view :D Jolly good fun, ol' Chap!
Man this takes me back. Them patching out the Dogmeat duplication glitch is actually what inspired me to write a batch file to give me 100 of every junk item in the game, because I used to use Dogmeat as my junk supply.

You can get more
By taking a med to reduce a point, you can take that stat from 10 to 9, use the book to get 1 more point and then the med wears off leaving you with 11 permanently

Using the pipe pistol to climb through the hole in the ceiling past the lock door has never felt so real.
Here we go again.
Also holy moly the volume on this one
Fallout 4 with the new update is my first fallout game. The gameplay glitches are quite fun, but the amount of bugs in this game is insane. Never has a solid playthrough, something always goes wrong.
Once you have stumbled through the muck to the end, mod the shit out of it and your true Fallout experience can begin
I didn’t have anything go wrong until my second playthrough. I can’t get Preston to give me the quests anymore.
I’m sure to most that sounds good but to me I hate it. I actually like those quests and now I can only get them through radio freedom
There are some basic mods everyone should run for bug fixes engine fixes and performance fixes
If you play on survival and don't sleep, eat and drink for long enough you can get all the special stats above 10
Survival wasn't in the release build, it was added later.
its the only way to play the game honestly.
@@AlanGresov
@@AlanGresov did I mention the release build somewhere? No I didn't.
I actually did this recently my self, on the 27th, you also didnt quite do the ammo trade right, you double the ammo they had when you started then just click the ammo in thier trade side and it doubles that making it faster to where its they owe you 400,000 or more. Also the ammo that you cheese shouldnt be in your inventory other wise it eats your ammo of that type. i.e if you got 10,000 .308 rounds, dont do 308 other wise they go to that vendor.
Best ammo vender i found and easiest to get .45 and .10 etc is vault 88 little bench to sit on near + shipment of fibor optics which dont come normally till BOS show up, and Shipment of nukelier mats.
I usually do the molotov cheese with resource exploiting. adhesive, glass, oil and cloth. Bit more items but once your done you can trade them to venders and you dont need to deconstruct. (this will be explained soon)
You also missed Kats relation ship exploit fast traveling with out anything equiped to the character yes you know what i mean, Some how cheeses her affinity. In 4-5 fast travels you basicly get her quest.
Now why is all this important? Well if your on console like idk the Xbox :D and if you have a disc copy (very important) you can go offline uninstall the current version install from disc while offline proform all these nifty tricks and then once your satified pop it online and update the game, How fallout works on console is they sync the offline to online files meaning you can then achivement cheese with a god character in the story. Which is why molotov selling is a thing after you return to non broken trading.
Noice!
1:54 this was apparently debunked, by Emil himself who said he didn't know why anyone believed him (I mean, who would believe a developer of the game when they say a thing) ~
"sneaking is very cool" he says as he equips the cryolator while sneaking
Rare Spiffing Brit audio exploit used at 27:07, phenomenal how you managed to sneak that one in.
Wdym?
What
If your playing release FO4 be sure to get MacCreedy to max affinity for Killshot perk to give you 95% chance to headshot all enemies in VATS range
Do you have to keep him as a follower to get his perk bonus, or are companion perks permanent?
@Maesterful Once you max any companion to max you keep the perk even when they are not with you
@@psycholeo2396 Very useful to know thanks
The normal perk that increases VATS chance every VATS hit gets you to 95% on any VATS shot when fully upgraded.
@Safetytrousers only if your close enough from afar without the concentrated fire perk? No it doesn't besides my original comment is based of release version of Fallout 4 where MacCreedy's killshot perk is broken for first 6months the game was out
There is another glitch with the workshop that has exponential growth. If you drop the raw material (such as copper) on the ground, and press and hold the 'store' and 'scrap' buttons simultaneously, you can duplicate the raw material by twice every time. For example, if you start at one copper and preform the method 10 times, you get 1x2^10 copper back.
Nice!
that’s not true? you get like 1000 if you do it 10 times
@@Caveqp you get 1024 back, that's how exponential growth works

Cant wait for the inevitable Fallout 4 ten year anniversary edition next year. Take my money, Todd!
Do you know if they are working on Fallout 5?
I'm supposing if they were planning on releasing Fallout 5 in the next few years they would have probably waited a bit and give us the television series at the same time than the game so that it boost their sales. Right?
@@Alfred-Neuman very likely yes. todd howard just recently did a interview talking about fallout and the show respectively and said that he wants to start making elder scrolls and fallout faster because they are tired of them taking so long as well. that’s me paraphrasing but that’s essentially what he said. i would wager they didn’t expect the fallout show to be as successful as it was and are now looking to fast track fallout 5 first instead of elder scrolls 6 like they planned. i wouldn’t get your hopes up but it COULD come a lot sooner than anyone thought.
@@yotosfuneral
That's interesting
@@Alfred-NeumanMicrosoft definitely want a fallout game to come soon, yet Bethesda seems to be stuck in with elder scrolls 6 at the moment.
There is a theory that Microsoft, since they now own Bethesda and as such it's IPs, might get another studio to work on another fallout game. It might be Obsidian, as they developed new vagas and are also owned by Microsoft. Yet most of the Obsidian staff have since moved on, with only a few devs remaining. Chances are the next fallout, if not developed by Bethesda, would be a side game rather than a main line entry

No it allowed you to fall any height uninjured. I recommend looking up Vans Bucket by Mylque. Great video.
Gotta give howard credit.
Fallout 4 was really an eye opener for young me.
Never again will i buy by brand or day one. Basically discovered fire.
Genuine surprised how polished this game is on release relative to the games we get today.
I remember when fallout 3 just came out. I couldn't even play it on my potato pc and i used to go home and watch my dad play it on he's. But it was one of the craziest games of its times. It was the first game i ever saw where you could travel scenes in 3rd person, and store a item in a chest, and travel all over the map, come back and your item would still be in there. The loading screen and menu had such idk sewer vibes. The sound of the screen projector playing as you start it up. It was just a classic
I think the far harbor dream sequence is more boring then Kellogg brain sequence
Oh god damn it. im going to lose years of my life if I start playing this again... worth it
The loss of that dogmeat trick is actually why I stopped playing Fallout 4 which I own on Playstation. I realized I did not care whatsoever to walk around dealing with the Fallout environment just to try to get building materials for Settlements (which I purchased the game for). I hated that none of the factions can be said to be "good" or can be forced to be good, I hate that powered armor is so limited by energy cores that shouldn't be able to run out of power in a human lifetime, I hate spongey enemies, and I despised the twist of finding Shaun.
brother I have never once in my life run out of fusion cores in vanilla fallout 4 even playing the entire game in power armor
Sounds like a skill issue
Energy cores are easy to find. The Minute Men are the only and truly good faction of the game.
And you can choose the "super easy" difficulty for the combats.
skill issue
I swear, a fusion core can power a building for over 210 years, but can only power power armor for 10 minutes.
Man, Boston really has not changed.

Man your awesome. I was in the dumps today and your video made me laugh and smile. Thank you
Little does he know you can “lower” your special stats with addictions and starving yourself in survival and use more special books to have your stats at >10 👀
I have a vague memory that the SPECIAL book could actually increase one of your characteristics beyond a score of ten?
Yeah! The special book doesn't check for temporary negatives like -1 int from alcohol so if you have 10 intelligence drink a beer to make it 9, wait for it to wear off your intelligence will be 11. It can be done with negatives you get in survival mode too. I don't know what the limit is.
the dogmeat glitch for gun in vault 111 still works after update I just did it, exception dogmeat doesn't drop the gun on the ground but has it in the inventory all you gotta to is trade after you will find gun and 200 rounds
My Friend put Yorkshire Tea mixed with room temperature Death Wish Coffee; it's apparently called Yuenyang and it's as umm... itneresting as you expect.
Making jimmy neutron as the main character but only starting with 3 intelligence is the true warcrime of fallout
Remember, it's only a war crime if you recognize your persecutors as a legitimate authority, and submit to their ridiculous charges.
