Fallout 4

Anyone use the same save between two different computers?
I assume it's as easy as taking the save file from your folder. (Documents/My Games/Fallout4/Saves) and loading that onto the new PC.

 

I gave Cait a flamed and a .308 sniper and she barely uses the bullets I give her. She asks for more when she is low thoigh

 

Yea, I know, I've been collecting pieces for when I get around to meeting him.

But now I wonder if I can grease 'im up and shoehorn his big green ass into a T-51

 

That made me think of this:

 

Nope. I hopped back in mccreadys t60 I lent him and it was out of juice. You'd have to give them multiple cores.
You'll also notice they can't sprint as fast when following you.

 

Are all the companions functionally immortal like dogmeat? Ya know, where they just are incapacitated for a bit, then in time regen enough to get up again?

 

Nope also doesn't work for me. Like I said I gave Preston a legendary musket with like 5 cells, ended up switching back after it was used up.

 

Right, you gave him a new weapon.

IIRC, it's only unlimited ammo with their original weapon, though I haven't tried it first hand....that's what I read someplace.

 

Well isn't that a no brainer, ya know? It's the weapon they came with.

I guess to clear any confusion, no you can't give a companion a gun with 1 bullet for unlimited ammo nor fusion cores. Settlers yes.

 

That's like saying this 2006 4 cyl 5 speed regular cab is the same thing as a 2012 TRD Sport dual-cab with all the trimmings because they're both Tacomas.

You gave him a new weapon.

It doesn't matter (from the discussion I read) that the new one is of the same family or type. It is a physically different weapon.

Hell. I don't know personally. I don't bother to arm my settlers as my defenses take down incoming mobs in moments, from ghouls and bugs to power-armored raiders and deathclaws.

I may check the arms of my next new settlement for this just because now.

Oh, and also...FYI, Dogmeat will not get into Power Armor....I just tried and all he does is whine at you.

 

Yes but the thing into question was whether giving them 1 bullet would let them use that weapon forever...
I don't know if you're trying to insinuate someone giving say piper 1 10mm bullet because her original is a 10mm, why would you when she generates her own ammo? You know?

 

The only companion weapon that has unlimited ammo, like @Xaks said, is the one the character originally has. I've tried to upgrade the same weapon (same anmo) and give it to them, but they switch back to their original when the ammo depletes.

Also, yes, all of the companions are like dog meat in respect to being immortal. They fall down when they are injured, but they do not die. You can either wait a few seconds until they get up or you can use a stimpack to get them up immediately.

 

They're saying give Piper a pipe rifle and 1 .38 round and it being unlimited.

 

And I'm saying that doesn't work. They run out. I was just giving an example for Preston whether it was the same type of gun or not.

 

This is what I'm talking about. There's no point in giving them 1 bullet for their original cause they generate their own ammo.

 

You're correct. Like we've been saying. The only companion weapon that has unlimited ammo is the weapon the companion comes with. It doesn't matter if you give them a new gun of the same caliber, they will revert to their original weapon when the ammo runs out.

 

We're going in circles here, I don't know if you realize.

 

1. Companions and settlers handle weapons and ammo differently
2. Settlers can do the '1 bullet = ammo forever' trick with their first weapon only
3. Companions can do the '1 bullet = ammo forever' trick with the weapon they spawn having.

Meaning, a settler that pops with no weapon, but is given a .44 snub and a single .44 round, should have unlimited ammo for that .44

However, Cait, who I believe is unarmed (I think?) at spawn, cannot do this at all. Preston can only do it with ammo for the physical musket he spawned with, not a newer modded musket

....

Does that cover all of it? I'm I seeing all sides of this right?

That said....can you pickpocket Preston's original musket, mod the snot out of it, give it back to him, and have THAT still count as the original weapon or not?

Hmmm....

 

This is the point I was making, that that's irrelevant cause they generate thier own ammo so you'd be wasting 1 bullet.

Everyone carry on.
