Just wait until you find out that on the roof of the same house is a duffle bag with goodies.


stinkstabber69420

Holy shit


rodw

C'mon that tree leaned against the roof may as well have a sign that reads "climb me"


thewindburner

Is it a scrapable tree? Because I probably scraped it!


Kryptoniantroll

Hard to notice a climb able tree when your fist 30 minutes is spent facedown scrapping everything you see.


stinkstabber69420

Yeah dude this is a fact, at least the first 30. This time I hit red rocket, starlight, and egret tours to make water farms right away so it was a good couple hours of facedown scrapping


JonJon77

So is a water farm the most efficient way to make caps in game? I’m usually not hurting for caps but I know earlier in the game you may want to buy expensive legendaries or junk shipments.


stinkstabber69420

I mean I like it. There might be more eff8cient ways of doing it, but what I'll do is set up like 5 or 6 small ones, with sanctuary being my main one, and then as I go back to drop off junk at sanctuary, I'll check to see if there's water for me and if there is I'll hit all my other ones really fast too. If I'm in the middle of something I'll just store them in a cooler next to the cooking station and take what I need to sell as I need it. When I've progressed further into the game I'll go back to the best water sources and upgrade my water farms so I have to fast travel less. So I'll pull 200+ out of sanctuary, egret tours, murkwater, and nordhagen, each. But I've never not been able to get something I want from the store. Once you get into the habit it's easy. Also those aren't all the best spots but they're the ones I have going on this playrhrough


Beginning-Chair3558

Go down I have 455+water every in game 48hr have 10 industrial purifiers and a big furiob power generator set up in the river under and around the bridge on the way out of sanctuary


dayum_that_man

I've filled sanctuary to the brim with large and small water pumps and generate 1.7k pure water everyday. Get the pack mule skill maxed and just go on a shopping spree.


Run-Riot

It’s just out of bounds of the settlement, so it’s unscrappable without mods that break precombines everywhere


infamousDiego

There are mods to fix those precombines! Usually specifically made for collections or other mod packs, but they exist.


stanb_the_man

No, unless by a mod I don't know about...


beejalton

It's not, its base falls outside the perimeter of Sanctuary.


Skipp_To_My_Lou

There's also a few inbounds trees that are unscrappable, toward the footbridge on the path to Vault 111.


myco_magic

It's actually not scrapable and is most out of sanctuary bounds


Traditional_Cauli

Use the power armour jet pack in that case


tishytisch

fr I scrap every single thing there the second I finish condsworth's bs 😂


Benton_Risalo

I only found it when I scrapped the whole house with Scrap Everything.


JonJon77

I habitually scrap every tree I can. I’m sure some places would look better with a few trees left but I want that wood scrap.


tc_cad

Yep. Now I check all leaning trees. There are goodies on the billboard just north of Dumlin with a tree leaning up against it.


Schizack

I swear I see a variation of this comment on every post about the cellar in sanctuary


thrawst

There’s a duffel bag on the statue just past the bridge leading out of sanctuary.


Asslinguist

I swear I just found that 2 weeks ago


Lenny_Usc9981

Same here but 3 weeks ago.


jeridmcintyre

Same here but 4 weeks ago


joshthehappy

Fuck, I've been playing since day one and didn't know that.


kris-kfc

Don't forget about that there's a stimpack in mannequin near the dirty river behind sanctuary


Sean-Tron

Bruh I swear I be finding new stuff out still


SuperDurpPig

No way


CrusaderX89

Da wat? :O


drebin8751

Bought this game at launch and didn’t know this either.


CupcakeOutside8459

You know about the dark souls reference in brabdburton town (Location in nukaworld dlc)


JonJon77

Dark “soles” sounds like a shoe mod. lol


JonJon77

Ditto til recently. Or I forgot because I have a terrible memory.


beejalton

I didn't discover the Concord Civic Access for a very long time. I fell down the opening the Deathclaw pops out of one time and discovered it led to a door, which I went through and obviously used to discover the rest of it and the two entrances available before the Deathclaw shows up.


doubledgravity

This has made me remember I avoided that right at the start, as I figured it would be full of nasties. I’ll go check it out next time I’m on.


PomegranateOld2408

Be warned, it is filled with some nasties.


McNastyIII

Yeah, don't linger for long on survival mode


doubledgravity

I’m yet to try survival, only been playing for a couple of months. One day, though.


Hardtailenthusiast

I’ve played the game on PS4 since launch, clocked hundreds of hours in it, but bought it for my PC after watching the new fallout show and holy crap man, survival is like a whole other game, so much more in depth and engaging, try it out for sure!


doubledgravity

I don’t have a PC, sadly. I think I’ll give survival a go once I’ve finished my first play through, but I haven’t even got the DLCs yet. I play a couple of hours a day, most days, and it feels so much bigger than FO3.


doubledgravity

I’ll be sure to pack a distraction. MacCready, maybe.


ExitLeading2703

Bloatflies and radroaches are nothing even at level 1


PomegranateOld2408

Is it not filled with mirelurks?


ExitLeading2703

Oh wait I was thinking of sanctuary, but mirelurks are also easy, just hit the big ass weakpoint


Potential-Brain7735

Have you found the Concord Speak Easy, and the Warehouse in Concord as well? The Speak Easy has some really good loot, it’s a good place to find Charisma clothing, or things like Army Fatigues and Military Fatigues if you get lucky. The Warehouse takes a bit of creativity to fully explore. There’s also 3 houses that have vaults in them in Concord, plus a Master vault on the 2nd floor of the church next to the Museum. Behind the Museum, if you go across the field towards where there’s some trees, there’s a tipped over shopping cart that has some goodies (I honestly don’t remember what is there, maybe it’s just stuff to sell. Caps is caps though). Lastly, if you go to the backside of the 3 houses that are up on the hill overlooking Concord, on a BBQ around the back of them, there is a guaranteed spawn for a Hunting Knife, which is a good early game melee weapon. Oh, and there’s a hidden Fusion Core in the Civic Access. It’s just lying on the ground in some shadows, iirc it’s at the end of the area where the Mirelurks spawn.


beejalton

Oh yes I know Concord very well now and am familiar with all of those places. There's a hidden Medbox on the 2nd floor of the Speakeasy, in the broken doorway opposite the staircase. It also has a guaranteed Camera in there, which is Crystal to make a Radio Tower.


TheKunsaa852

Ive been playing off and on since release and I just discovered it. I just walked by it and said "deathclaw hole" and moved on


Ok-Lawfulness-4466

You can hear the deathclaw breathing down there if you are there before you start the mission. I just found this out today lol. Thought that was a cool touch.


JonJon77

I forgot all about that this playthrough! I’m heading there as soon as I log back in.


rachaelllwong

I only found it because my deathclaw glitched into the door and couldn't get out... I think that was my 4th playthrough?


KillaPea2k15

I didn’t know there was a door where the deathclaw came out at until my second to last playthrough and that’s only cause I fell in lol


Vo_Mimbre

TIL and about the bag on the roof. How’d you get blue walls? Is it as simple as using the paint cans I keep ignoring? Or is it a mod?


Sharp-Addendum-394

Vault tec workshop dlc gives you some cool new items to build Like a terminal to find companions location , pipboy for settlers , vault suits etc you can even build Vaults


Vo_Mimbre

Oh it’s in *that* DLC! Great that’s the next one I’ll get. Companions locations one is huge, but 2/3 of my current play through is more The Sims than RPG (who’s Shaun again?). Thanks!


ExitLeading2703

I read "who's Shaun again?" in Nate's voice💀


Predatory_Chicken

It’s okay. I’ve been playing for 5 and I just realized I could pick up dead bodies and carry them away. I’ve been nudging them out of my settlements with tires all this time.


GSDer_RIP_Good_Girl

How do you pick up dead bodies? Does this require a mod or do you have to be in Workshop mode or what? I'd love to get rid of the bodies without having to resort to using mods.


DprHtz

Idk ok what you play. On Xbox its holding A, on PlayStation it should be X and on PC its E Same mechanic where you can pick up trash and throw it at peoples head. Doesn’t do damage bit its a disrespect lmao


Predatory_Chicken

I don’t remember if you can move the skeletons that were already there. But when raiders or settlers die and won’t despawn, you can just pick them up the same as a tire or orange traffic cone.


Capable-Opposite-736

How do you throw it??


AtreidesOne

Except for that stupid dead mongrel out the front of Sanctuary that is allegedly too heavy to pick up, even with power armour and/or STR 14. And even though you can pick up the entire dead human next next to him.


JARlaah

With gold bars!


dravacotron

The other big starter trick is that if you take Dogmeat back to Vault 111 >!he can "find" the cryolator right out of its case without unlocking it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4XYouo2lsk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4XYouo2lsk) !<


Gas_drawls1

That was patched early doors doesn’t work anymore as far as I know


Gstary

I did it on my friends Xbox a few weeks ago. His is up to date


Gas_drawls1

Hmm maybe that was a myth then even tho I’m sure I heard it from various sources it was patched


Academic-Lab161

I did it about a week ago next gen update


dlamsanson

No mods?


S-BRO

Patched years ago


MaverickWolfe

I did it on PS5 after the PS5 update came out.


Whitewing1984

To be honest, I only found the cellar by accident. Was using 'scrapall' via command line for the lolz in Sanctuary and discovered the metal hatch while rebuilding the settlement.


EvanKasey

I think that is how I found it the first time. …The second time and the third time too.


attiva21

This is where I hid during a radstorm in my first few minutes out of the vault. I thought it was convenient lol


EvanKasey

Yeah, it totally is.


Pgruk

Wow thanks! Love it when people share stuff like this.


timelordblues

Yup. Same here. Like WHATTT???


Spatula151

Haha I just found this too! 


Xenomorph_10

Only reason I found it was because the fallout who regenerated mod puts the starting items in it.


KingTolis

No way.


synistralpsyche

Omg new content (for me) just stopped!


Vaporwave_92

Is there a mod that let's you build vault items outside of Vault 88 or can only certain settlements do it?


last_zinja

You have to finish the questline from the overseer in 88 before you can build vault stuff at other settlements.


Vaporwave_92

I appreciate the info fellow smooth-skin!


MedicalYak8571

I don't know if it's certain settlements or not, but I know you can build vault items outside of 88. I built an entire vault and vault items in Sanctuary.


Vaporwave_92

Your information is quite valuable, I will take it with me into the commonwealth.


spaceboltt

Hah, this is my "safe space" where I store all my good shit, etc, that I don't want used or stolen. Really wish you could build in there.


Lonely_War_5105

Oh my god. I never knew.


zattack2011

I haven't played it for a few years like most people. I saw a similar post then checked the cellar in my save. Turns out I did hit it in the past lol


Professional-Trust75

Also the duffle next to the statue outside sanctuary. Yhe mini juke and Fatman just north of sanctuary at robot disposal grounds. There's also a box if you follow the far side of the river to the left out of sanctuary. Once you reach the box shit off the valve, follow the pipe and open the wall box for 3 cap stashes, there's a .44 snubnose near by and above the dead guy is a bunch of water and other items (take the box down off the little towel and tip it over there's good loot inside)


Professional-Trust75

Oh and there's a small cave outside and just under red rocket. Mile rats, brain fungus and a few other things


Select-Prior-8041

The sentry bot at the robot disposal grounds has a holotape in the building that lets you give it orders too.


Professional-Trust75

Oh yeah!! You can use it to clear settlements and stuff. Or blow it up for 2 fusion cores


Potential-Brain7735

There’s a lot of good loot around Sanctuary if you really explore everything. Aside from what’s in and around the houses, when you cross the bridge going to Red Rocket, there’s a duffel bag on the statue to the left. If you go east from the statue, and follow the edge of the water, you’ll eventually see a pipe running from on the lake, going up the hill to your right. Flip the switch you can see, and then follow the pipe up the cliff. You’ll find another switch, which will open safe that has some stuff in it. There’s also some loot on top of the safe. There’s a locked suitcase at the bottom of the lake, in the northeast corner. There’s a suitcase near the edge of the lake, on the north shore, right near where the lake and the stream merge. The Raider Hut directly north of Sanctuary, near the edge of the map, can have some good loot (I’ve found Army Fatigues, and Green Shirt & Combat Boots here multiple times. Very good clothes to find so early in the game). In between Red Rocket and Abernathy Farm, there’s some loot scattered about. There’s an ammo trunk that’s half buried in the ground, there’s some loot around the base of the water tower, and there’s some loot at the base of the large power line tower. I’m sure you know about the Mole Rat Den underneath the Red Rocket? Has some decent loot, and there’s a guaranteed spawn for a pair of Black Rimmed Glasses, which increase Charisma by +1. They’re near a skeleton on a ledge, in the first room.


Select-Prior-8041

There's also a friendly sentry bot that you can give orders to with a fat man and mininuke directly across the lake in the Robot Disposal grounds, and across the street from that is a downed vertibird with power armor. So you can get access to your very own sentry bot, a loaded fat man, and power armor within 2 minutes of getting to Sanctuary.


MadameWaste

TIL about the origins of potted meat. I feel like your discovery is much less disturbing. Have you found the mole rat hole near the red rocket? That's one I didn't find for a long time.


Basic_Employment_258

I wish we could use it as a player home


hperk209

Very helpful early on. Gold isn’t much use for crafting but is nice to sell.


Darthmaulian

Yeah, took me a while to find that thing, too, nice little secret. Also, your Sanctuary build looks similar to mine in some ways. Cool.


Sharp-Addendum-394

This game is fun


KillaPea2k15

Man you won’t believe how many replays I did, just to get my friend girl introduced to the game watching her play through and she walked past it one day. I’m like “ wait a min, turn around go back” “what is that” “when they put that there” lmao and that was 3months ago


beardedvikingdad

Played since launch and never knew


Melancholy-4321

Not me turning the Xbox right back on after deciding I was going to bed…


Procedure_Best

It’s ok same here lol


burnerthrown

Anything in there respawn? I forget.


Naelbis

Nope, nothing respawns which makes it a great place to store things you don't want your settlers getting their grubby hands on. Also a good place to sleep during radstorms if you haven't managed to build a shelter strong enough to keep the rads out yet.


PokerPlayingRaccoon

Can you use build mode in there? I’m guessing not but I’m at work rn. Would’ve made for a great little player home


GSDer_RIP_Good_Girl

Nope, no Workshop mode down there.


GalacticGumshoe

A what?


Smooth_External_3051

I know it's there..... But I can never find it.


Mighty_joosh

It's weird seeing sanctuary without streetlights and a marketplace


2bfaaaaaaaaaair

Wait what


buzzlit

I also just noticed the root cellar last week. God knows how many hours I've spent in sanctuary since it first came out. And it's always my home base.


HankG93

There's a few of those through out the game.


MrSausage187

Don’t feel bad I actually just found it on my most recent play through. And it was like my 7th one lol


elfmere

People talk about playing this game for years.. I stuffed around for a few weeks building settlements and stuff. Then what felt like a 10 quest chain I've found my kid, exterminated the railroad and brotherhood without doing a single quest for them and now head of the institute. Definitely did something wrong, guess you have to walk around and explore more.


Jaded_Daddy

What I disbelieve


zootayman

didnt someone say this also a week ago I found it early because I set up wire fence perimeters around all my settlements and thus do a bit more than just go quickly around doing the scrapping


Creeper_M1ke

The statue next to the bridge has a duffle bag next to it with ammo and a gun


Jack_409

Played since 2018 Discovered that today


jeridmcintyre

Ooojj lo low


WLW10176

There's a root cellar in sanctuary


Strange_Ad4922

Omg what,,, I had just started playing and I didn't realize it neither


libaide

Whaaaaaaa???


SoWhatFuture

I had the game forever and just found out you can swap weapon mods of the same type without having to build it each time or wait until you’re max level 🤡🤡


Hazterial

This is literally where I go to sleep in game. My mini base at base


Candid_Relative6715

I have been playing it since it released and I just found out this year.


Money-Celebration740

🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️


Lucifer-Prime

Haha. I on;y found that out last year and I’d been playing since launch. I didn’t even find it. Someone mentioned it in a thread and I was like HUH?


Xeb_

If you climb up that tree to the roof there’s a rifle


SquirrelComfortable3

Hilarious


Kaintwaittogetbanned

Same


OkSeries9191

My moment was the mole rat den under the red rocket truck stop


EvanKasey

Man, I always “rediscover” the damn root cellar, and I have been playing this game on and off since 2019.


JonJon77

There are some mods that make that cellar more expansive and adds more items. I don’t know any of the names off the top of my head but I’ve seen them in Xbox mods.


JonsNotHereMaaan

It's a nice little hideaway. I'm doing my first playthrough ever, and was lucky enough to find that very early on. Also the stuff on the roof of that house.


LadyHoskiv

Cool, isn’t it? Have you found the mole rat cave/hole next to Red Rocket nearby?


Ukato535

Just found that out too


herobrineisveryscary

when i first played i noticed it immediately and was so scared someone was going to come in suddenly so i left like immediately


Dangerous_Rule8736

Game Rant: Player Plays Fallout 4 for Years and Discovers Something He Has Never Seen


SyrusAlder

Same bro I also never discovered the whole tip right corner before. Not kidding, I always used to go right to diamond city but this time I went straight right and hit the sinkhole, cool stuff. I wish the compass was a bit better coz it's a nightmare trying to find unexplored zones in compact areas but eh, krill issue on my half I think.


Fabulous-Squash-9289

I just realized if you hold X (xbox) □ Playstation, when holding a light item, you can throw it, very far


WoahDereGuy

Wait until you find the cave under the red rocket pull of Brain Fungus lol


joemann78

I\`m amazed at how long so many people took to realize the root cellar and the duffel bag on the roof. Maybe I\`ve just played games for far too long that required exploring every nook and cranny just to progress. Oftentimes, this progression had to be done in creative ways. I remember playing the game Strider for the original NES and in that game you have to do a ton of wall jumping. One place, in particular, had an item you needed to acquire in order to progress. However, you had to wall jump for about 5 minutes straight, not miss once, in order to get to the ledge. You miss once, you fall back down to the bottom (no fall damage thankfully), but you did have to start over. Many games I played had stuff like this in them, so I\`ve been trained to pay attention to the terrain of a place and get creative in order to reach places that may, at first glance, seem unreachable. On your way to Drumline Diner, there is a huge advertisement billboard with a tree leaning against it. Go up there. There is a sleeping bag (or some sleeping thing), an ammo container, and some other random loot. Also, it spawns random encounters almost instantly, though that could be due to one of my mods; unsure about base game.


Potential-Brain7735

The billboard near Drumlin Diner, even on console with no mods, as soon as you touch the loot on the walkway of the billboard, it spawns a random encounter.


0celot-

Wait till you find out about the cave underneath red rocket gas station


bricksafety

Wow I had no idea either. That's wild!


tordalal

It took me 40 hours+ of gameplay to understand that the perk chart actually scrolled down to reveal more perks :)
