Fallout 4

[final kaoss]

Acquiring the Cryolator Early

Near the Oveseer's skeletal remains in Vault 111, you can see a locked case that requires the Master lockpicking skill to open it and grab yourself the Cryolator (a powerful weapon that freezes enemies and possibly kills them as well). You can bypass the Master lockpick by having Dogmeat as your companion and returning to Vault 111 (by pushing a button near Vault 111 itself in a little building). When Dogmeat is near the case have him search for items and he will immediately head to it and grab the Cryolator through the glass case and return to you and drop it. There you go! Instant Cryolator! Check Dogmeat's inventory for 200 rounds for the gun also.

Companions

After getting a companion to like you well enough, you will earn a bonus perk. Note: Dogmeat's perks are already unlocked in the Charisma tree. To increase your relationship level, travel with a companion more often and do not perform actions that they do not like. Send them away before you have to complete actions that are objectionable. However, they can see you through walls and windows. After reaching maximum relationship level, you will have a final dialogue option before earning their special perk. To increase your chances, save the game before making the final dialogue choice.

Duplicate items

This glitch allows you to duplicate anything you can drop from your inventory. It also lets you get unlimited S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points (attribute points) to max out all your special skills (strength, perception, etc.) by duplicating the "You're Special!" magazine. The "You're Special!" magazine can be found inside your old house in Sanctuary, on the floor in Shaun's room. This basically gives you unlimited everything: infinite weapons, ammo, mini-nukes, fusion cores, attribute points, junk items, and even money when you resell all this stuff. To duplicate items, drop the item you want to duplicate from your inventory (so it is sitting on the ground). Command your dog companion (Dogmeat) to fetch it. Pick it up at the exact same time when he is lowering his head to pick it up. If done correctly, one copy will be placed in your inventory, while Dogmeat drops another after 2-3 seconds. Repeat this as many times as desired. If you are having any trouble duplicating items, first send Dogmeat away before commanding him to pick up the item to ensure you are able to do it correctly. Note: This glitch was performed on an unpatched version of the game. It will probably eventually get patched. To avoid not being able to use this exploit, either do not install new patches before using this exploit or delete the patches. You can avoid patches being installed by disconnecting from the internet until you are ready for the game to install new patches.

Infinite Bottlecap/Loot

Most players have heard of the infinite bottlecap exploit but I'm adding in how to get extra loot out of it. I'm sure Bethesda will patch this soon but until they do, here's how to do it. This method works best for me in Diamond City at my point of progress in the game.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT CLOSE YOUR TRADE WINDOW OR ACCEPT ANY TRADE UNTIL THE VERY END

Step One
Go to Diamond City Market and see Arturo.

Step Two
Buy one type of ammo from him ie .308 rounds, the whole stack.

Step Three
Switch to your inventory and sell him back ONE of that ammo ONE! Then sell him back the remaining stack. You will now see that it has glitched and you still have one of that ammo left in your inventory. You will now be able to sell Arturo back this one ammo endlessly during this transaction.

Step Four
You can do a couple of things now: sell the ammo back until you've taken all of his money or you can buy everything you want from his store and then sell back that ammo over and over until you've made the money back and then take all of his money too (you may get carpal tunnel from hitting the button a million times).

Step Five
When you're done, now you can hit "Accept".

This glitch can be repeated on the other two vendors next to Arturo in Diamond City as well as other vendors in the game, but not all of them. As for Arturo and his friends, you can typically sleep for 24 hours and come back and repeat, although I've had to wait a bit longer sometimes.

[final kaoss]

Infinite fusion cores

First, join the Brotherhood Of Steel, which can be done immediately after the game starts. You can join by going to Cambridge Police Station or just following the main story. Either way triggers the "Reveille" and "Fire Support" quests. Follow the Brotherhood's quest line until they make you a member. Then, complete their "Tour Of Duty" quest, where you will meet everyone on the airship. You can then pickpocket a fusion core (make sure you do not get caught) from one the Knights inside The Prydwen (their airship headquarters). Make sure to do this in a secluded area. Once you pickpocket the fusion core from the Knight, he or she will come out of the powersuit, replenish their fusion core, and re-enter the powersuit. Once they are inside their powersuit again, pickpocket the fusion core again. Repeat this process as many times as desired. Note: Quicksave after each successful attempt, just in case you get caught.

[final kaoss]

Infinite inventory space (no weight limit)

To get unlimited inventory space for your companion, instead of trading with your companion, simply command them to pick up the item for you. Companions will never be overburdened using this trick. If your own inventory is too full, just drop some heavy objects on the ground and have your companion pick them up. This is especially helpful when you find some good loot but cannot carry more weight, or if you do not want to burden yourself with heavy weapons. This trick allows you to always bring some mini-nuke launchers (Fat Mans), rocket launchers, and mini-guns to fights without having to worry about their weight.

[final kaoss]

Infinite XP and companion affinity for some companions

So far, every safe I've encountered that is both pickable and has a terminal nearby to hack qualifies for this exploit. Pick the safe then hack the terminal and relock the safe. Pick the safe again. Open the hacked terminal and relock the safe. Repeat until bored. You'll only get the hacking XP once but you'll get lock XP every time. As an added benefit, Piper, Cait, and Deacon will all gain affinity as long as the safe is unowned.

[final kaoss]

Infinte caps

Go to any vendor where you can find any type of ammunition. Choose to purchase all of the same type of ammo, but do not confirm the purchase. After it appears on your side of the transaction screen, choose the ammo on your side of the screen and give one round of ammo back to the vendor. Then, choose to give all the ammo back to the vendor. If done correctly, you will have one round of ammo remaining on your side of the transaction screen. You can select that round of ammunition repeatedly to get all of the vendor's caps.

[final kaoss]

Item duplication and unlimited stats

Get Dogmeat and return to Sanctuary. Find the "You're Special!" book in the crib and use it. Drop it to the ground from your inventory. Tell Dogmeat to pick it up, but quickly collect it before he does so. If done correctly, he will drop the item and it will still be in your inventory (this can be done with any item to duplicate it). Pick up the copy Dogmeat dropped and to have two "You're Special" books. Drop both books on the ground and one should activate again. To get unlimited books to increase your stats as desired, drop the book and duplicate it. Drop both books and pick them up. Drop one book and duplicate it, drop all the books and pick them up, then repeat by dropping one book and duplicating it.
