Character basics and development

• SPECIAL stats: These seven attributes—Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck—are a core feature of the Fallout universe and define your character.
• Choose a build: You can create a character that specializes in different areas.
  • For a melee-focused character, prioritize Strength for more carrying capacity and higher melee damage.
  • For a stealth build, focus on your agility and luck to help with critical hits.
• Level up: As you gain Experience Points (XP) through quests and combat, your character will level up, allowing you to invest in a skill tree to increase your SPECIAL stats and perks. 

Combat and survival

• VATS: The Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (VATS) is a core combat feature in many games.
  • It allows you to target specific enemy body parts, which can lead to critical hits or dismemberment.
  • The effectiveness of VATS is influenced by your Perception stat and Action Points (AP).
• Ammunition: If you're using ranged weapons, be mindful of your ammunition, as it is a limited resource. In early game, using melee weapons can help you conserve ammo.
• Healing: Don't waste Stimpaks or other valuable healing items on minor injuries. Save them for when you are severely wounded.
• Save often: This is one of the most important rules for playing a Fallout game. Saving frequently will allow you to reload from a specific point if you die or make a mistake. 

Exploration and inventory

• Loot everything: Collect all junk, weapons, and chems you find.
  • This is especially important in games like Fallout 4, where you can use junk to craft and upgrade your gear.
• Manage your inventory: Be mindful of your carry weight, as carrying too much will slow you down. Store extra items in workbenches or give them to a companion to carry.
• Use your map: Pay close attention to your map and quest markers. They will guide you to new locations and objectives. 

Which Fallout game are you playing?

The best starting point for a new player depends on their preference: 

• Fallout 3: A good entry point for beginners who are new to open-world or first-person shooter games.
• Fallout: New Vegas: Best for players who prefer a deep narrative and complex role-playing, but it can be more challenging.
• Fallout 4: The most user-friendly and modern of the single-player games, with a large emphasis on crafting and settlement building.
• Fallout 76: An online multiplayer experience with a focus on exploration, crafting, and co-op gameplay.
