Changing weapons in Fallout 4 is super easy! If you're on PC, just press the number keys (1-9) after you've favorited your weapons. On PS4 or Xbox, simply open the Pip-Boy with Circle/B button, go to your inventory, select the weapon you wanna use and press R1/RB to favor it. Then, you can quickly switch between your favorited weapons using the directional pad. Happy shooting!

Just scroll through your weapons, dude. It's not rocket science. Open the Pip-Boy, pick your weapon. Boom, done.

Had to figure this one out the hard way during a Super Mutant ambush. For real, favoriting your go-to weapons makes life in the wasteland SO much easier. Don't be like me and fumble through your inventory mid-fight. Favorite and switch with ease using the d-pad (console) or number keys (PC).

Honestly, you can't miss it if you're exploring the western part of the map. It's like, if you hit the coastline, you've gone too far. Look for a circle-ish structure on the map, that's your ticket!

Vault 81 is not too far off from Diamond City, just a bit to the west. You'll find it nestled in a more peaceful part of the Commonwealth, which is saying something given the usual chaos. Just keep an eye out for the entrance hidden among the hills, and you’re golden!

Pack some RadAway and a good weapon, 'cause Vault 81 is located to the west of Diamond City. Pretty easy to find if you follow the main road and don't get sidetracked by all the other crazy stuff in the Commonwealth.

Vault 81? West of Diamond City. Can’t miss it. Bring gifts for the friendly folks inside!

Look, it's simple: Vault 81 = West of Diamond City. If you get to the Atlantic, backtrack.

Changing the language in Fallout 4 isn't as straightforward as you might hope, but fear not! The easiest way to do it is through the game's properties in Steam. Right-click on Fallout 4 in your Steam library, go to Properties > Language, and select your desired language. The game will then download any necessary language files. Remember though, this changes the entire game's text and voiceover to the selected language.

Just dive into the settings menu in-game. Nope, sorry, just kidding. Unlike some other games, Fallout 4 requires you to change the language through the platform you're playing on, like Steam or console settings. For Steam, check the game properties, and for consoles, it's usually a system-wide setting.

Settings > Language. Done. Oh wait, you can't. Gotta do it through Steam, folks. Console users, check your system settings.

Changing your SPECIAL stats in Fallout 4 is a mix of strategy and patience. Every time you level up, you get a point to put into any of your SPECIAL stats, so think ahead about how you want to build your character. Early on, you're stuck with what you chose at the start, but don't worry, you have the entire game to tweak things. Also, keep an eye out for the 'You're SPECIAL!' book in Sanctuary, as it gives you one extra point to put into any SPECIAL stat of your choosing.

Hot take: Just focus on leveling up and don't stress about your SPECIAL stats too much early on. The game's forgiving enough that you can have a blast without min-maxing from the get-go. Plus, you'll find bobbleheads that permanently increase your SPECIAL stats, so just enjoy the ride and adjust as you go.

I managed to change my SPECIAL stats by hoarding levels and then strategically placing them into the stats that complemented my playstyle the most. Also, don't forget about those bobbleheads scattered around the wasteland; each one gives you +1 to a specific SPECIAL stat. It's like a treasure hunt that makes you stronger!

Changing the FOV in Fallout 4 isn't too hard, but it does require some file editing. First, navigate to your Fallout 4 directory (usually found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4). Once there, find the 'Fallout4Prefs.ini' file and open it with a text editor like Notepad. Scroll down to the [Display] section and add the following lines: fDefaultWorldFOV=XX and fDefault1stPersonFOV=YY (replace XX and YY with your desired FOV values, 90 is a good start for both). Save the changes, and boom, new FOV!

Easiest way? Just use the console in-game. Hit the tilde (~) key to bring up the console, then type 'fov XX YY' (without quotes) where XX is your desired FOV for the third-person view and YY for first-person view. Hit enter, and you're all set. Remember, doing this doesn't permanently change your settings; you'll need to do it every time you launch the game.

Why bother changing? The default FOV is fine as is. ?

To wait in Fallout 4, just find yourself a nice chair or a cozy bed to sit or lie down in. Once you're sitting or lying down, the option to wait will pop up. Choose how many hours you want to fast-forward, and bam, time flies! Sadly, you can't just wait standing up like in some other games.

You can't wait by just standing around like in previous Fallout games. Find a chair or a bed, interact with it, and then you'll get the option to wait. It's a bit more immersive, makes you plan your waiting periods a bit more.

Hot take: The waiting mechanic in Fallout 4 is actually better than in previous games. Forces you to find a spot to rest, which makes total sense in a post-apocalyptic world. Can't be standing on your feet 24/7!

Clearing Spectacle Island in Fallout 4 is all about taking control of the place! First off, you gotta head to the southern part of the island and find a green boat. Inside that boat, there's a circuit breaker. Flip that switch, and you'll attract a bunch of mirelurks, so be ready to fight. Once you've dealt with them, you'll need to enable the workshop by activating the circuit breaker located in the small shack on top of the hill. This will clear the island and allow you to build to your heart's content!

Honestly, just avoid it. Spectacle Island's a pain to clear and not really worth the hassle unless you're dead set on building a mega settlement there.

Easiest way? Lots of ammo and some power armor. Flip the switch on the boat, fight the mirelurks, then activate the workshop. Boom, island cleared.

First off, uninstall Fallout 4 via Steam, or however you got it on your system. Then, navigate to where it was installed and delete any leftover files to ensure a clean slate. Reboot your PC (just to be safe), and then reinstall Fallout 4 from Steam or your original source. Make sure to not restore from any previous saves to keep it totally clean. Bonus tip: after reinstalling, consider running it once without any mods to ensure everything's smooth.

Literally just uninstall, delete any folders left, and reinstall. Don't overthink it.

Did a clean install last week. Make sure to backup your saves if you wanna keep 'em, though I skipped that to start fresh. Running it without mods at first really shows how smooth the game can be. Then dive into modding, but carefully!

Uninstall? Please. Just get a new PC, install Fallout 4, and voila, cleanest install you'll ever get. ;)

In Fallout 4, clearing rubble isn’t something you can do with a specific tool or button. Most of the time, rubble is part of the permanent environment. However, if you're trying to build or modify your settlements, some debris and small objects can be cleared by going into workshop mode and selecting them for removal. Keep in mind, though, large piles of rubble that seem like they're blocking something usually can't be moved.

Honestly, if it's in a settlement, just hit that workshop mode and start scrapping anything that lights up. Not everything can go, but you’d be surprised how much stuff you can clean up. Outside of that, you're pretty much looking at the scenery, so enjoy the post-apocalyptic aesthetic!

You can't. Big rubble piles are just part of the scenery. Bethesda didn't give us a magic shovel to clear them away, sadly. Best to pretend they're not there and work around 'em.

Set up those water purifiers in your settlements and make sure they're powered. The more you have, the more purified water you get. Sell the extra for caps!

I built a ton of industrial water purifiers at Sanctuary. Now, I'm swimming in purified water. It literally turned into my main source of income. Best cap maker in the game if you ask me.

Easy peasy! To get purified water in Fallout 4, just build a water purifier in any settlement you have. You'll need to hook it up to a power source too. Once it's all set up, the purifier will automatically add purified water to your workshop inventory over time. Don't forget to regularly check the workshop inventory to collect it!

Don't bother with purifiers. Just find it in the wild. Much easier.

Just a heads up, you can also change your appearance whenever you want by using the console command 'showlooksmenu player 1' if you're on PC. Just make sure you don't accidentally change something you can't undo!

Nah, keep the face you start with. It's a post-apocalyptic world, who cares about looks?!

Easy peasy! Just head over to Diamond City and find the facial reconstruction surgeon, Doctor Sun. He’s got you covered for a face-lift. Make sure you bring some caps, though, because changing your looks ain't free!

Honestly, just buy them from vendors if you don't wanna play hide and seek with Fusion Cores. Caps well spent.

Charging your power suit in Fallout 4 is all about Fusion Cores. You need to find these rare items scattered throughout the wasteland. They're often found in generators or sometimes in the basements of buildings. To insert a Fusion Core, just approach the back of your Power Armor with the Fusion Core in your inventory, and it'll automatically get slotted in. Keep an eye out for those cores; your power suit is useless without them!

Quick tip: Fusion Cores are the juice for your power suit. Grab 'em whenever you can, stash 'em, and slot into your power armor from the inventory. No charging stations needed, just Fusion Core swaps!

Why bother with Fusion Cores? Just enjoy the scenery on foot. Power suits are overrated.
