Fallout 4 Fusion Cores - 5 things you need to know!

Fusion cores play a HUGE role in Fallout 4. Here's what the Storyteller thinks a vault dweller outta know.

Btw, you can get a Fusion Core behind the Red Rocket Station (where you find Dogmeat) there's a small cave behind it, go in, there's only a few Mole Rats and a Fusion core in there :)

I can remember laughing at friends who booked their vacation time around the release of Fallout 4. Now I'm stuck at work while my game sits at home. Lesson learned :(

Don't leave your power armour equipped with a fusion core. A settler or provisioner will steal the suit.

[sephimaru]

It would be great if they had implemented some recharge-system for fusion cores.

One thing that I love about fallout is when it gets some things right about survival which makes it so fun and interesting to play. The logic of bathrooms being a good place to raid was a good one for the same reason they stated, even thinking about it now that's something that I think many people would forget, especially if it was a real survival situation. Thanks for the vid :).

Wait, people moaned about the graphics of THIS game? What?

#1 If you rank up perks that give you lower vendor prices, you can decrease the price of Fusion Cores by HALF.

#2 If you rank up your Nuclear Physicist perk you can extend the life of Fuion Cores by greater than 50%

#3 Getting the Repair Bobblehead gives you +10% on Fusion Core life.

#4 Smartest thing to do is collect junk, weak weapons and clothing to trade for Fusion Cores.

#5 Killing Sentry Bots gets you 2 fusion cores typically.

I have 33 Fusion Cores.

I have a perk that gives me more ammo in crates, and I can find 4 fusion cores.

Have tips of your own? Leave them here with us and we might include it in another episode.

It's worth noting that the Fusion Cores in my game were heavily influenced by the Scrounger Perk. Once in Pickmans Gallery I found 5 Fusion Cores in a chest at the third level of Scrounger. So if you just invest in that skill, then adventure for a while without thinking about it too awful much, you'll end up with 50+ by the time you're level 40 like I did.

6 years later and still wondering how can a fusion core power a big robot for 200 years but not a power armor for 20 minutes

[rvn]

Wait, Power Armor didn't run out of energy for 200 years in previous Fallout games and now they need multiple Fusion Cores over the course of the game ?
WTf Bethesda, at least the T60 shouldnt run out of fusion cores

This is AWSOME please make this into a series until the next season of the storyteller

[Devastator]

For some reasons I just love tomlisten to the Storyteller talking about his travels! :)

[antifis]

You can get 3 fusion cores really quick if you walk north east from vault 111, until you find a robot dump. inside a small building is a computer which allows you to turn on a experimental robot then self destruct it. It will drop 2 fusion cores and there is 1 more in the crate beside it. There is also a hot rod paint job for power armor beside the computer.

[TheHelleri]

So power armor now has the equivalent of an ammunition cost for guns on top of normal repair costs? That seems reasonable. It was a little OP in previous games where the only real barrier to use was being someones lapdog until you could get "power armor training". In Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 playthroughs, I usually had a suit at full repair ready to go, and stashed in a locker somewhere, long before I was able to actually use it.

this narrators charisma must be 10 with all perks unlocked. I swear that voice is god like.

Can the Storyteller's VA please consider doing a stream of Fallout 4?
