Though stealth has always been an element of the Fallout games, it’s never been interesting stealth. It’s been powerful at times, sure, but always a bit bland and never explored in much depth (hey, it’s an RPG, not a sneak ’em up). A new mod for Fallout 4 attempts to shake this up a little by introducing two Metal Gear Solid-ish sneaky tricks: whistling and throwing bolts to lure and distract enemies. It’s not quite on the same level as walking around wearing a cardboard box with a picture of a sexy lady on to distract horny guards, but the Tactical Distraction System mod does sound neat.It gives you a whistle as an item, then you’ll need to craft bolts (which I think are actually nuts?) from steel. Whistling lures enemies to the spot you whistled from, obvs, and if you hurl a nut they’ll go investigate where it landed. Metal Gear’s tricks are knocking on objects and hurling empty magazines, but this essentially works the same. Creator ‘FLipdeezy’ points to Manhunt as another inspiration.
“The mod is pretty simple, but works well,” FLipdeezy says.
“Enemies won’t immediately be able to find you, they will search the location you were last at if you whistle, or wherever the bolts land if your throw them so get out of there quick and you can lure them around pretty effectively. NPC’s aren’t stupid though (well, no stupider than vanilla haha) they won’t automatically come right to you out in the open, they will search, hide behind cover, peak out etc. Keep in mind they will also ignore you if they are in the middle of a fire fight or distracted by something else.”
You can download Tactical Distraction System from NexusMods. FLipdeezy says it dovetails nicely with registrator2000’s cover system mod too.
Someone has actually made a Fallout: New Vegas mod adding Metal Gear-style cardboard box stealth, though only with plain old boxes rather than sexy modern boxes.
Ta to cheery RPS fanzine PC Gamer for pointing out Tactical Distraction System.
Explore the weapons and armor sets of the first major Fallout 4 expansion Far Harbor with these console command item IDs. These codes, if used properly in conjunction with the instructions and examples below, allow you to spawn any item into the Sole Survivor’s inventory. It’s a fairly painless process, and if you’re not the type to experiment with some of the more game-altering commands, you won’t have to worry about stability. It does always pay to be careful, so make sure to save your game before using the developer console.
These codes apply to the PC version only, and they can be a little tricky if you’ve installed lots of mods or own the other official DLC packs issued by Bethesda. We’ve broken down how the form id function works in relation to mods and add-ons in the introductory guide, but if you’re looking for more complex uses for the developer console, check out our guide for advanced commands in Fallout 4.
If you’re a true survivor, check out Gameranx’s massive list of guides, how-to’s, secret locations, and everything else a fresh Vault 111 escapee needs to thrive on the Fallout 4 Ultimate Commonwealth Guide.

DLC Item Console Codes | All Weapons & Armor Cheats
On PC only, Fallout 4 features the developer console, a tool used by Bethesda for testing purposes. Just like in the previous game, every weapon and apparel piece come with an associated content ID. If you have the proper ID, it’s easy to cheat and spawn in any and all items.
If you’re new to console commands, check the step-by-step instructions for a simplified explanation to get you started, then keep scrolling to find the complete list of DLC item content IDs to help you spawn in (almost) every weapon piece and armor set in Far Harbor.
How to Spawn Items Using Console Commands
Start spawning stuff fast with our quick console command breakdown.
- Open the console command input window; press [`] or Tilde
- The game will pause and a prompt will appear in the lower-right corner of the screen.
- Input: player.addItem [Content ID] [###]
- player.addItem = This console command spawns the desired item into your inventory.
- [Content ID] = Every item in Fallout 4 has a unique content ID. Find the full list of Content IDs for Far Harbor weapons and armor listed below.
- [###] = This is the amount of items you will spawn into your inventory.
- For example, if you want to spawn a Harpoon Gun in your inventory, type the following command:
- player.addItem ##010b81 1
- ## refers to the FORM ID. Depending on the number of mods / expansions installed, your load order will be different.
- To resolve this issue, simply test your Far Harbor load order number by testing the following commands:
- player.addItem 01010b81 1
- player.addItem 02010b81 1
- player.addItem 03010b81 1
- player.addItem 04010b81 1
- Etc.
- player.addItem ##010b81 1
- Once you learn the FORM ID of Far Harbor, replace all Far Harbor Content ID [##] entries with your particular number; 01, 02, 03, 04, and so on.
- If you only have Far Harbor installed and no mods or additional expansions, your LOAD ORDER number will be [01]. Ex. player.addItem 01010b81 1

Fallout 4’s armor situation is a bit confusing. I’m not talking about Power Armor here—I’m talking about the more everyday stuff your character can wear to keep him or her safe from the hazards of the wastes.
If you want to give your character some protection, you can either wear full armor suits, or you can mix and match individual pieces of armor. Full suits may be tempting and snazzy, but they’re typically pretty shitty as defensive wear. Individual pieces of armor can be a pain to collect, and parsing what stats they grant you can be perplexing too, so I’m not surprised to see so many people go “fuck it” and choose to just run around in something simple, like the Silver Shroud get-up. But you can do much better, if you set your mind to it!
This guide is written with the assumption that you already understand the basics of armor, how it works, and how to tell what’s good. It also assumes you’ve already got some of the best basic gear around, such as Combat Armor. If that doesn’t describe you, make sure to check out our basics guide here. Or, if you’re simply looking for the best Power Armor you can find, you should read this instead. Otherwise, let’s hop right into the good stuff.
Farming Legendaries
While it’s possible to get Legendary gear from vendors, including your own settlement vendors, purchasing pieces is pretty damn expensive. Most of your legendary gear will likely come from Legendary enemies, which spawn randomly during your encounters out in the wasteland.

I mean my messages are all just peding messages and couldn't push through. Where do skype downloads go. I downloaded the app for android (samsung galaxy 4 tablet). There was a certain day where I was able to send chat messages to my contacts, then suddenly the next day it appears to me that I cannot send anymore. Hi.I am currently having this problem with my skype app.
Here’s the thing about Legendaries: You can farm them. There are a few spots where you can farm, but here’s my favorite. The National Guard Training Yard. You’ll want to note this down, as it’s a location that’s useful even if you’re not going to farm legendaries.
Advertisement
Once you’ve cleared this locale once, it’s really easy to go through a second (or third, or fourth..) time. It only takes a few minutes to encounter a Legendary enemy in there, which makes runs pretty quick.
There are other options of course, including the Super Duper Mart, The Boston Public Library, and Fallon’s Department Store. Really, any generic location/building that you highlight on the map that does not say “CLEARED” on it tends to be fair game here. Experiment as you go along; you might have other spots that are more useful to you.

So, once you pick a spot, do a quick save right outside the location you’re farming. Enter the door—the game should auto save. Go through the dungeon, and kill a legendary enemy; pick up the loot. If you don’t like the type of loot at all, reload your quick save. That reload should reset what you’ll find inside the dungeon. If you do like the loot inside, but you just don’t like the randomized effect it gives you, load the game’s auto-save. This should lock the loot down, but not its effect.
After you clear a farming spot, it may take a couple of in-game days for it to respawn the enemies. You can fast-forward time by either sleeping, or sitting somewhere and selecting “wait.” Getting a full set of Legendary gear shouldn’t be too hard, but getting a set tailored to your specific playstyle might take some time/reloading. I’m over a hundred hours into the game right now, and I still have a few pieces that, despite being legendaries, are just kind of OK.

It’s What’s Underneath That Counts
Advertisement
So, we’ve covered the different armor pieces you can put on. But what will really round out your armor set is your under armor. You start out with a basic one, the Vault Suit. There are more, of course—here’s a full list. Personally, I spec for combat, so I find that the most useful piece of under armor is the Army Fatigues, which grant you Strength +1 and Agility +1. The clean variety is better than the ragged Dirty Army Fatigue version, in my opinion, but you can’t go wrong with either. You can find Army Fatigues on Gunners, at the National Guard Training Yard, and in Jamaica Plains.
Ballistic Weave
Having good under armor is a start. What you really want to do is unlock modifications for this type of armor. For that, you’ll need to find the Railroad—which will probably mean playing through a few hours of the story first. You’ll want the “Road to Freedom” quest, which will lead you straight to them. If you get stuck in the middle of that quest, here’s a big hint: the password is “Railroad.”
Advertisement
You’ll have to join the Railroad to unlock under armor modifications, but don’t worry. You don’t have to stick with them. What you want to do is, do a few of their starting quests. One of these should introduce you to PAM, a robot who appears in a side-room at the Railroad hide-out. Talk to PAM. She’ll send you on quests.

After doing two or three quests for PAM, she should send you on a quest to locate a DIA cache. This is what you’re looking for. Do that quest, report back to PAM, and after you do, go ahead and talk to Tinker Tom. He should say this:

Congrats, you’ve unlocked Ballistic Weave, a special type of armor modification. Not only will this allow you to upgrade under armor so that it has way better stats, it will also let you upgrade full suits, such as dresses, tuxedos, and more—which means that you don’t have to sacrifice fashion or utility! Star wars galactic battleground cheats. Here’s a full list of what you can upgrade with Ballistic Weave lining, if you’re curious. Once you have it, you should be able to go up to any armor workbench, and a new option should come up, like so:
Advertisement
Personally, I upgraded my Army Fatigues. Now they sport this kind of stats:
Advertisement
90 damage resistance and 90 energy resistance! Pretty badass, especially considering that its damage resistance was basically negligible starting out. I’m not actually level 39 yet, so I haven’t unlocked Armorer rank 4, which means that I haven’t upgraded these Fatigues all the way. They can get up to 110 Damage and Energy resistance, which is amazing when you consider this is just a single piece of armor out of many.
Hilariously, Ballistic Weave also allows you to upgrade a variety of different hats, such as Battered Fedora, Green Rag Hat, Newsboy Cap, and the Trilby Hat. You can purchase most of these in Diamond City, at Fallon’s basement. It’s pretty easy to miss, but it’s right here:
Advertisement
You couldn’t pay me to wear a Fedora, and the rag looks as bad as it sounds, so currently I’m running around with an Armored Newsboy Cap. It’s a pretty ridiculous concept, given that a single hat as 90 damage/energy resistance but hey. Whatever prevents Super Mutants from crushing me!
Advertisement
The last thing to note here is that lining your armor with Ballistic Weave can be resource-intensive. You’ll need Adhesive, Ballistic Fiber, and Fiberglass. We walked you through how to grow your own Adhesives in our general tips guide. Ballistic Fiber can be grabbed from Military Grade Duct Tape, Military Ammo Bag, and can also be purchased by KLEO in Goodneighbor in packs of 25 (not cheap!). Fiberglass, meanwhile, can be found within Abraxo Cleaner, Aluminum Canisters, Cigar Boxes, Jangles the Moon Monkey, Telephones, and more. Some of these crafting materials can be hard to find, but they’re worth it.
Show and Tell
Fallout 4 Tactical Gear Backpack
All said, following these tips I’m currently equipped like so:
Advertisement
All together, this get-up boosts my Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, and Agility, and it also slows down time, protects me when I’m in low health, and quickens my Action Point refresh speed. It’s not the best around, but I’m pretty happy with it; I don’t have trouble with most enemies I encounter anymore. That said, it’s a more combat-oriented build, so I’m curious what you guys are wearing and why. Feel free to share your armor builds in the comments.
