This Fallout 4 Player Is Beating The Game Without Attacking
21.01.2024 - 15:37 / thegamer.com
We're so used to writing headlines like, 'Elden Ring player beats toughest boss in the game with their feet while upside down', but today we're changing things up and looking at the Fallout 4 community.
One player, fresh out of the vault, frantically searching for their son, is exploring the wastelands without attacking a single enemy. Instead, they let the enemies hurt themselves by reflecting their attacks. It's slow, meandering, and painstakingly difficult, but midnightvalkyre is persevering all the same.
When asked why they're making Fallout 4 so difficult for themselves, midnightvalkyre simply replied, "I just felt like it."
It all started with a post asking the community to wish them luck on their playthrough, with a clip attached of several raiders unloading countless magazine clips into them as they stood and let every bullet pierce their squishy flesh. Eventually, the satisfying ping of a projectile flinging back and instantly killing a raider clicked - that's the run. Take some damage, heal a lot, and eventually, the enemy will kill themselves by accident.
A day later, still at the Museum of Freedom, they shared an update with another new clip. This time, we see them wearing power armour and standing perfectly still while a raider swings a pool cue at them over and over and over again, even making jabs about how they're "still kicking", as exhausted as midnightvalkyre must be.
Things amp up a day later when midnightvalkyre stands face-to-face with the Mirelurk Queen, armed with nothing but a hook. Of course, they can't use it in combat. But it does let them reflect damage, slowly but surely withering the Queen's health down. Unfortunately, the clip doesn't have a happy ending - one swing and they crumple into the ground. But they did pull it off later.
"She was stupid hard to block," midnightvalkyre said. "Her acid was completely decimating my health bar. She could kill m,e in two hits, and with her extremely fast melee attacks for a creature the size of a large house, it was nigh impossible to do without jet."
Despite the challenge, lengthier battles, and meticulous attention to detail their build requires to be feasible, midnightvalkyre is still going strong, and we can see them clearly improving with each clip as they find better ways to reflect damage more effectively. It's probably not a run you'd want to emulate, but a creative way to keep Fallout 4 fresh after nearly a decade.

The Last of Us 2 fans are having a tough time playing as Joel in the new roguelike mode: "The game was not built for this poor man and his dodgeless ass"
Joel seems a decent choice if you're delving into No Return, The Last of Us Part 2's brand-new roguelike mode. With a powerful custom revolver, an upgraded melee weapon, and a shiv (plus a recipe to craft more), his is the best starting loadout of all. Unfortunately, he also has the biggest disadvantage: he can't dodge.

Starfield Fans Want Bethesda to Bring a Fallout-Inspired Feature To The Game
Some fans think that Starfield should take some inspiration from the Fallout series by introducing floating robots and drones to the game. With the game being set in the year 2330, these fans think that Starfield's futuristic theme would have no issue introducing artificial constructs such as these. Considering that the game is very tech-based, it could add more depth to robot-related gameplay and change up a few mechanics to make Starfield's hypothetical drones even more interesting.
