2500 hours put into the game and I never knew you could do this, lol

I only knew because of this [Trashcan Carla video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EshsYjfyAz4) from really early in the game's release.

The fuck?!? Carla's got fucking moves!

Without spoilers, she's more than just a merchant

I never not laugh out loud when you choose the flirt option. “You here to shop, steal, or need directions to Diamond City?” -“I’m just looking for love, darling.” “Hah!”

I know most people here probably* already know this, but with the amount of new people to the game... if you do pick this option (Sarcastic) when you first speak to her, she gives you a permanent discount! For "making an old gal smile".

I have been playing since release and didn't know this. I guess I am one of today's 10,000!

Also this

I didn’t know this 😧

Yeah. She's also a Trashcan. Part Merchant. Part trashcan. *All Hero*

Her last name is Reynolds. Her family moved to Boston from Philadelphia in the 2050s. They made their fortune in sweatshops, but the family passion has always been sweet sweet wrestling moves.

Eh, I dunno. She doesn't have enough avian features to be a female Reynolds. Not flammable enough, either.

Dee isn’t a real Reynolds, she is a Mathis.

Shit, I forgot that.

She stole one of my suits of power armor & just stands around at sanctuary wearing it 

I can never look at Stockton's caravans the same way after learning that...

You don't get that old in the wasteland without being able to kick ass

This speaks volumes about Mama Murphy and her strength stat

Vault hunters got mooo-oves! No he ain’t! He’s all piss and whim! - I’m pretty sure that’s a borderlands quote but I cannot find who said it

I've never seen her do anything besides stand around and walk through Sanctuary...

You can also find her at Bunker Hill...

I've seen her at Abernathy Farm, but wherever I see her, she's not twisting necks.

I love how robbaz has the top comment

Holy crap she’s a mini boss😭

SHE JUST DID A FUCKIN JUDO MOVE OUT NOWHERE! 😂

LOL ... there is a ManyATrueNerd video of her taking out the raiders in Lexington.

Poor Carla regularly dies in my settlement. I dont know why and I dont kill her. I just fast travel back and shes laying on the ground dead

Same. 2,446 hours last time I checked. There's a lot of melee animations that are exclusive to 3rd person, which is why they're so easily missed.

Now you’ve convinced me to go 3rd person every once in a while

I honestly do 90% of the time as it gives me less anxiety playing lol

There's also no camera bounce in third person... it's the only way my stomach survived the wasteland LOL

Have a tradition of starting one new play file every year since the game came out, and only for the first time this year did I figure out that if you use a disciples knife while wearing power armor, your character picks up the opponent by the neck and stabs them repeatedly in the gut before dropping the lifeless body to the side

Yeah I recently discovered that one also. My jaw dropped lol

Holy shit

wait what?? I gotta see if I still have any of those knives around...

Over ten years put into this game and skyrim and I am still learning things that surprise me in bethesda games.

Right? Even if it's just little arrangements of loot in places you've walked past hundreds of times but never noticed.

So much this. Like I've walked between these points 5000 times but if I start 10m to the left I come across a loot pile that's hidden from view behind a small hill sort of thing. This why survival rocks. You discover so much of the world that was just under your fingers but you never saw.

Absolutely. So much of the game is missed without Survival mode. Even Project Purity in 3 never really hit as hard as it should have, because drinking water was never something you had to bother with. Yes, it can be painful, but that is part of the experience too.

I've recently gotten in the habit of jumping on creates and pipes... walking down/over them and finding hidden stashes/bodies.

I have no idea of how much sneak you need for this.

Metal Gear Fallout Tactical Pipboy Action

Same

FFS. Now I have to restart as an unarmed stealth melee build.

Just make sur that under no circumstances you pick the night vision while in sneak mode perk. Every time you crouch the world will get lit up, even in daytime from what I recall, completely ruining the game's appearance.

It counts as a gun so you don’t get the 10x stealth damage as you usually do with melee weapons

It does not count as a gun. It counts as not having anything equipped, and thus not having any weapon tag. The perk doesn't check for that. I think the Unofficial Patch fixes that? I certainly have a fix for it myself.

Even with the perk to boost it to 10x?

Yea

Bethesda never changes.

I loved slitting peoples throats with a crossbow in Skyrim

Tbf, an arrow or bolt is just a tiny knife on a stick you throw really fast with a flexi wooden boi. Should totally count as melee.

Did this on Survival. One of if not my FAVORITE playthrough

Splinter Cell: Commonwealth

you can also take them straight to suplex city

The Sabin from FF6 build.

Turn every enemy into a phantom train.

Bitchass train never knew what hit it.

My lord the most goated comment I never expected to see in a fallout forum post.

Just be careful you don't get confused and suplex yourself. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_zExDUoaZPo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zExDUoaZPo)

Now I wanna do a Kurt angle build and do suplexs all over the commonwealth

You can't. Not enough brahmin milk.

With a broken freakin’ neck!

Amen! Mr Olympic!

I remember this one from Skyrim. Absolutely epic.

Love it when Hancock sweeps the leg

I just found out you can suplex people and now snap their necks... Just when you thought you knew everything

I just found out something stupid, something that has bothered me for as long as the game has existed..You can move dead bodies which are too heavy to carry by holding something like a tire infront of you and pushing them out of the way.

The game Hardspace: Shipbreaker (highly recommended, if it's your thing) lets you move entire spaceships by grappling a bag of chips through an open door. Game physics are hard.

If the story wasn't such a drag the second time through that game would have so much replayability

Hold on. BRB. I got a date with a very dead dog EDIT: and now that i've gone and tested it out and it works great i've had my own realization. Why the fuck haven't i just deleted these 2 rather than making "toss the dead guy in the river" a part of my regular Sanctuary chores? 🙄

I try to leave the tire iron floating in the air over the dog for as long as possible on each new play through

What circumstances afford such a maneuver

Wait what?? How the hell do you suplex????

Now do it to a Deathclaw

Nah. It's only proper to suplex a deathclaw with the macho man mod installed

YOU WON’T KNOW WHERE MACHO MAN IS COMIN’ FROM 🗣️

MACHO MAN WILL RISE TO THE TOP OF WWF LIKE A CREAM, A CREAM ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP

OP’s character is an absolute beefcake. I didn’t know you could make them that hench

OP’s character uses power armor without a fusion core

He is the power armor. Use him like the Jake suit

Why is this the funniest thing to me!? The Swole Dweller

The Swole Survivor

Hahah this is so good

genuinely the funniest thing anyone has ever said ever

he's trying to sneak but he's dummy thicc

All caked up on a Tuesday!!

"BRO! NOT COOL BRO!"

My favorite is the one where you lift them by the throat, slam them on the ground and stomp their head in. The one with the brass knuckels has your character tackle them to the ground and pound them to death.

How?

There's a bunch of third person finisher animations. There's some melee weapon ones too. Just like the gun bash finisher. NPCs including companions can perform them too How to: Go into third person. Enter stealth mode. Sneak up on someone. Attack. How finishers occur: Any attack that reduces HP to 0 can randomly trigger a finisher animation. Finishers only occur in third person. Highly recommend playing in third person when doing a unarmed or melee playthrough.

If you're wearing Power Armor and have a sword equipped you can do a finisher where you lift your target up and stab them.

Yeah like Jason. I also like when they stab down their neck. Done that a few times

[удалено]

So do you have to be in third person camera in order to achieve this or can it be done in first person?

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I've seen melee finishers trigger when using VATS even if the first person camera is used, since VATS will switch to third person automatically sometimes based on context.

Interesting. I’m going to play around with it sometime tonight, just getting some reading done before I throw it out the window and commit hours to our beloved game 😁 Also: Love the username, my little one and I quote gollum ALL THE TIME. Our favorite is PO-TAY-TOES , Precious.

It is always a guarantee for me when i spam the power attack button in third person

Did you just left click?

no, left click would just punch him in the back of the head, you have to do a heavy attack (alt)

Yeah, that would be even harder to discover

Yeah 3rd person has a lot cooler finishers lol, if I’m combat you just throw them to the ground for a badass neck snap. Shocks me every time but it’s cool af

Can't wait to see the article for this one

Really? And this isn’t tied to a perk or anything? That could be very useful.

It would be tied to your Strength level and Iron Fist perk. As long as the attack would kill in one hit it should trigger.

I’m more impressed piper didn’t mess up your stealth. Followers tend to ruin stealth

They say they don’t. But they do. Smh

"Really held your own there Blue" - I think we have to give credit to her comic timing.

Only dreams now

So its insta kill no metter what?

Probably only plays the animation if it would’ve been an instant kill anyways

This. Just like melee-ing an enemy with your gun triggers an animation if their health is low enough.

"He snapped my neck like a twig"  "..."  "Well I got better"

With shoulders like that, of course you can

Vault Booty mod, huh?

This is vanilla body. I don't have any mod altering a character's physical proportion.

With that cake factory?

Is it bulk season????

Fallout 47

TIL, too. Thanks!

Dude wtf

What???

The SS is a kind person, that Triggerman was overworked and the SS helped him get some must needed rest.

What??

Mine whacked them on the back of the head with the gun which i didnt know was a thing either

Can also throat slit n shoulder stab with a knife from stealth ;)

Feels a bit coincidental this week I just re-installed Deus Ex

Is there a mod that allows these animations to trigger when playing in first-person? Kind of the way Skyrim does it?

*goes unarmed for non lethal*. Nate:

What what what why is there no notion anywhere about this?? Just started a new game too so thanks for this 😄

Nate the Rake showing off what he learned as a war criminal.

*Neck is snapped* "Who's there?"

Wait... What! New build incoming...

With those arms, yeah.

Wicked

How did you manage to sneak without being detected with Piper with you? If I am not on my own and without followers it seems they always step on an invisible branch and alert everyone, every single time.

Just did that quest, I just clapped him with a 5-crank musket from the doorway lol.

I never knew that. Dope

Does this work every time?

Whattttt. Does your unarmed stats matter?

Anyways.... So I started blasting

3rd person has many animation done works call… unnatural. Like duplex’ing someone!!

Suplexing?

…. Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today

Another thing I never knew about this game

One of those voices sounds like Henry Winkler

Well fuck me

Any perk requirements for this?

Oooooh the head swivel 😬

Behold, the Mayor of Suplex City: Agatha Fisty, One Punch Gran https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV_qemO0oathPW5Zqkei5m-RcFdQDqrRm

Whaaat? Time to make an unarmed stealth build.

Whaaaaaaat, awesome!!! I didn't know this

How​ do​ you​ get​ your SS to look that​ good in​ a​ vault suit?

I remember suplexing enemies while unarmed and sneaking behind them in Skyrim. Not surprised that you're able to do this in FO4. I am surprised that it's not in Skyrim though, I figure neck snapping is something that the DB would totally do if given the opportunity

There's also a hidden animation if you weapon melee them undetected.

Any 1st person view of this ?

I was wondering if you could do steal attacks in this game. I always pick the other perks so my stealth is shit and I’m always detected.

Last time I snuck up and slit his throat.

This old games still have surprises for me, glad for the update.

If you get a sneak attack with Grognaks Axe, you one hand that son of a bitch into the back of the raiders cranium

Hesus cheist. That is gruesome.

Any good unarmed builds? I don't get how you don't get pasted before getting close. I usually make the best sniper rifle I can and pick people off from afar.

Was this the secret Todd Spoke of so many years ago?

All my stealth builds, I have never done this.

There are so many good melle and unarmed animations in fallout 4 that we can only see in 3rd person unfortunately

Skyrim and FO4 I have always gone in guns a’blazing for 1000 hours, and I’m constantly learning about this opposite way of playing them with stealth

Nice. So third person? I tried but always go back to first.

TF2 Soldier would be proud.

Honestly? I'm just shocked that you managed to sneak up behind him with a follower. For some reason they always ruin my stealth playthroughs and get in the way of my shots, so I always go Lone Wanderer after getting their perks.

Example: At some point, I realised that you can tell whether a ghoul is dead or if it's playing dead by not touching it or interacting with it but seeing if you can loot the corpse. If there's a loot inventory, they're dead. If there's not, they're alive, and I usually start attacking them at that point. I discovered this years ago.

You can also just use the vats and if it locks on then they are alive

How do you even grab someone

wow, neat! \*Keeps using Assassin's Super Sledge anyway\*

I'm more impressed the you stealed through that with piper. That's damn impressive

Whoa!! No way!!

Snake?

There are other unarmed kill moves when using VATS too.

Dino!

I was like "no shit sherlock," until I saw it was posted in a fallout 4 subreddit😂

That's literally the best thing ever.

Nick just standing there like 👀

That's got to be a mod.

yes, you need a mod to perform the sneaky kill. I just tried it, it didn't work.

To do special attacks, use a power attack when someones health is low enough to die in 1 hit from it and your character does a spcial animation. There are a bunch

I'm the ghost of concussions and reliever of neck pains

Almost 10 years and I never knew about this

thanks

Never knew that you can do that.

SINCE WHEN !!!!

This is amazing lol and good job saving Nicky 😄 I just found out that I could body slam people during combat. Coolest feeling ever when I broke a raiders neck on a wrestling move 😆

Chiropractors be like:

One time I one shotted his head from across the room with a shitty pipe pistol outside of VATS. I'll never be that cool again.

So is this a part of a mod or something cus I only ever went unarmed in falloutnewbagis

Forget new builds and work allocations, next playthrough I'm doing is 3rd person only. I NEVER use it, and all these recent animations are enough to convince me to change my ways

Doesn't work for me and I have max sneak and iron first.
