Just because shes your companion doesnt mean you have to use her

Um wouldn't the point of her being my companion mean her following me around?

Is that the way im supposed to progress that quest? Just seems like odd because one second im in her office and everything is red if you go to steal it, I come back and now I can take everything and all my guy says is lets go!

LMAO. And than that happned:

I have now 250/265 Defense without Power Armor. WTF?! I mean I didn't received much damage before, but now, I don't think I will ever lose any health lol. How can they hide such an essential upgrade function behind some repeatable quest?!

How to unlock:
You need to join the Railroad and do two of the DIA missions from PAM. Then you unlock the function to upgrade it, after you speak with Tom.
 
shotgun ammo. why is it so hard to find?

any tips?

When I need to buy something specific in a high quantity, or need to sell a lot of shit.

I hit up a chain of merchant hubs back to back

Drumlin Diner
Bunker Hill
General Atomics Galleria
Diamond City Market
Goodneighbor
The Prydwen
The institute

At all those locations, there's atleast one merchants that sells ammo and they all have shotgun ammo. Even carla sells shotgun ammo at sanctuary. Also dont forget to check your settlement shops.

Yeah, it's a bug with companions. Just let her be your companion, then talk to her and the quest dialogue will activate.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
What dumb "genius" designer decided to make a settlement with a radioactive pond right at its center. What a shitty thing to do to an interesting space :(

Yepppp that upgrade changes a lot of things.

Ah, thanks.
I've been placing the things for Tom thinking that would progress but nothing has been happening, I'll do the PAM stuff instead.

I can finally get out of this damn vault suit.

You can scrap the barrels. I think one of the cars emits it as well.

what the fuck she has only given me one
and then refuses to talk to me.

I've specifically changed my armor and under armor to military fatigues because it's one of the only ones that can get upgraded through this.

If you're talking about the Drive-In, you can wade in and delete the barrels to get rid of the radioactivity

Wtf is a DIA mission

Edit: wait im pretty sure I can do that on my armor and I never got it from Tom. Or if I did I didnt notice
 
I've put about a full day into my first character and I feel like I'm done with him sadly. I finished the institute and have wandered around clearing things but I'd really like to see the brotherhood stuff.

I'm not sure if it's even worth restarting considering play styles dont have much of a difference but I know there's so much content I haven't seen yet. And I'm sure once I start a new character I'll never use this guy again. Ugh I don't know what perks would really make it feel different.

I went in in as a brotherhoood member and shot everyone in there. But it's all good since I'm in my power armor 24/7
 
If I get a gatling gun that has either:
exploding ammo
infinite ammo
double shot
increase damage for each consecutive hit


I will be doing cartwheels for days.


The gatling gun is the ONLY gun that ive yet to find a single legendary for. Bruh, I even got a legendary rolling pin. Makes me mad since the gatling is the primary weapon I use. My playstyle is a mobile tank.

Thank you all you sexy people <3
That did the trick :)
 
Yep, cores are so easy to find.I have 90 so far and still have half the map to look at.

Yup, i'm wasting my cores now because im approaching nearly 150 of them. Im getting too many.

I got all this shit using fusion cores:
power armor
jet pack
gatling gun
fusion core grenades
companion gatling gun


and Im STILL getting more cores than I can use. at this point I may just stop picking them up. I already stopped buying them. You know what, ima just sell them shits, yea, thats what ima do. Just thought about it.

Get the perk to use them as nuke grenades

I've only found one fusion core so far and it was inside a building during a quest. Are there obvious places/things to look for?

Wow, that weave is insane. My vault suit + all the armor on top isn't even as good as the underarmor alone now, and you can still put the pieces over it.

If you read again, you'll see i already have that. thats what the fusion core grenades are.


To be honest, i REALLY fucking hate that perk. I really regret getting that perk.

I can't even count on both hands how many times, Ive tossed a grenade, and then toss another one, and then try to toss another, but then, the core drops right at my feet because I ran out of grenades and that makes the core drops. Now I gotta make a hasty retreat before insta death........why cant we throw them shits, why they gotta drop live, right at your fucking feet.

I thought it would be a useful perk, but at the rate that im getting these cores, I dont even need the reduces core rate, but now I got this negative side effect from the perk.
 
literally minutes after getting a set of X-01 power armor and going back to Sanctuary, right after I upgraded all the parts, Piper decides to leave it in the middle of my house and someone stole the fucking helmet!


fucking Jun Long had it. god, I hate the Longs.

There got the upgraded outfits. I had armorer rank 4.

Went from 100-ish defense to 200+ in both regular and energy.

I'm a stealthy ass tank motherfucker.

CHOO CHOO
Yeah me too. I didn't even get much damage before, but now it's laughable. A stimpack can counterheal anything but explosions. Will put that on my chest armor now, since I have enough energy defense.

Posted above. You get it pretty nonchalantly, but it allows you to modify normal stuff like Army Fatigues that don't normally show up at all. AND you can put the additional pieces of armor on top...I went from 81 resistance for most of the game to 191.

I am 148 atm due to legendary metal armour pieces. If i get this i probably wouldn't have to heal again.

So after getting the
crusor ship
, how do you advance the story? It send me straight to the
railroad HQ
, but I don't think that's how that normally goes. What happens if you haven't found it yet?

edit: Nvm, just read that the doctor will send you there regardless.

one thing i like about boston is that it feels like there's a shittonne more asian people in it. I feel like the wasteland hasn't been this asian since Fallout 2!

although it is really weird how strong their accents still are considering if they're in the US they must've been raised in vaults for like 3 or 4 generations (assuming long life). I guess Vault-Co made a Chinatown/Russia vault at some point
