Summary
A super luckyFallout 4player’s Survival run has been saved by a “miracle” when they fall into an inlet instead of landing on the ground. The RPG nature ofFallout 4is full of potentially lucky or unlucky occurrences, and this player may have clipped the most fortuitous moment so far.
Since its inception, theFalloutseries has focused on a set of attributes called SPECIAL. This acronym stands for important character-building RPG stats: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. In the latest games, these categories lead to helpful skills that can bolster carry capacity or hacking, get the fullest out of the VATS system, and emphasize exploring the world alone. These may also improve dialogue withFallout 4NPCsby adding options centered on these attributes that improve the chance for success. One gamer has shared a clip focused on a lucky occurrence that didn’t require the attribute, but rather a glitch that worked out in their favor.
Reddit user Vovalucky recently shared a clip in which they’re aboard aFallout 4Brotherhood of SteelVertibird firing at a Super Mutant Behemoth. As the Vertibird circles the powerful creature at Fort Strong, the Survival player unloads rounds from the mounted minigun and quickly defeats it. Before the Vertibird can land, it’s blown up and the player is sent plummeting to the ground below. Although the character ragdolls as if they’re dead, and it takes a moment for the user interface to return to normal, they survive the fall thanks to a small inlet of water catching them. The player absorbs some laser fire while floating in the water, but when their health meter returns, they’ve taken very minimal damage.
How Did This Fallout 4 Player Survive This Fall?
Given how long their character is floating in the water before they return to normal, this gamer was likely saved by a glitch. As Survival games end when a character dies, the player has to restart from scratch. UnlikeotherFallout 4playerswho have had Survival games cut short due to glitches, this one seemed to have luck on their side. Despite the fact that Luck is a key attribute in the game, this Vertibird fall depended on actual luck rather than requiring skill point investment. While the clip concludes before the player retakes Fort Strong on behalf of the Brotherhood of Steel, they may have been successful thanks to this serendipitous moment.
Although there are potentially deadly andhumorousFallout 4glitches, this video is a reminder that there are also some beneficial ones. While Bethesda continues to update the RPG, players may not want positive bugs like this patched out.
