'Fallout 4' guide: Useful tips for getting by in the Wasteland

"Fallout 4" Bethesda Softworks

"Fallout 4" can be a challenging game at the outset, especially without any good equipment readily available.

Still, there are things players can do to help make their lives easier inside "Fallout 4."

One of the first things players need to do inside "Fallout 4" is to get a good grasp of the game's VATS system, according to Game Rant. The VATS system can make combat significantly easier inside the game as it allows players to target opponents more accurately while also enabling to focus their offense more efficiently.

Players should take note that the VATS system does not actually stop time inside the game, and instead simply slows it down. This means that players can still be attacked by opponents even while using VATS so they should still take caution.

Another way to help make things easier inside "Fallout 4" is to gain levels early in the game.

Obviously, players can't just run into enemy hordes early on, especially when their stats aren't nearly sufficient. 

Instead, what "Fallout 4" players can do is to do the other things that grant experience inside the game. 

Carrying out simple tasks such as picking locks or hacking into terminals can grant experience points, so players shouldn't bypass any that are accessible. 

Another useful tip for gaining levels quickly is to wear pieces of equipment that grant extra intelligence points, according to Gotta Be Mobile. Players can gain extra experience points from having higher intelligence, so paying attention to it early on in the game can pay huge dividends not just in the first parts of "Fallout 4," but also into the endgame as well.

Players should also try to sleep often if they want to get some extra experience points. Sleeping enough hours at a time will grant players a "well rested" bonus, and this can help increase the experience they gain from beating enemies and doing all sorts of other things inside "Fallout 4."
