| 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. |

| 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 mIllinois 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. |

| 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |

| Surviving Long Drops |
| Save the game just before hitting the ground after falling from a fatal height. Load the saved and you will land safely on the ground. |
