This 'survival expert' is the style the guide is focused on.Ĭhoose between Guns or Energy Weapons as your primary source of offense, as melee combat is too dangerous (if you would like to go for a melee build, you can. For example, with a high Survival stat you can hunt animals and turn them into cooked food at campsites, which removes your need to carry other, uncooked food (unless you want to). The main point of this build is to make you mostly self-dependent. Hopefully you've had a playthrough of the regular difficulty before checking out hardcore. It's for people who understand the mechanics well enough to grasp everything they're doing. You can still adjust combat difficulty if it is too much of a challenge on normal or hard.įirst things first, this build/guide isn't for completely new players. It forces the player to adapt, and adds long-term challenges into the game play. Hardcore actually isn't that hard once you understand how it works. It makes combat, and every decision you make more interesting. It turns items that were useless in the normal game, into lifesaving treasures. It requires a lot of game knowledge, however. The mode adds just enough layers of depth to be challenging, while still feeling completely fair at the same time. Once I got into hardcore mode, it ruined normal Fallout for me.
