Fallout 4is the most recent in the main-lineFalloutseries, and the successor to the belovedFallout 3andFallout: New Vegas. The title was hailed as good, though not as good asNew Vegason release, and has been steadily updated and modded - including the release ofa new DLC-sized mod.
With a game as vast asFallout 4, there are a lot of ways to play and a lot to love. It features a huge expanse of sidequests and distractions on top of the main quest, with even more added by the community. One way to play is Survival Mode, which allows no manual or autosaves. It can be a lot of fun, but can also be ruined by the tiniest, stupidest things.

One player learned this in a very unfortunate manner after pouring two hours into a Survival Mode run. There are only a few ways to save in Survival Mode, namely sleep and quitting out, with the latter being deleted upon returning to the game. Runs can go for a very long time, but two hours at once is still a lot of time. As such, throwaway12763901p was pretty miffed when the run was ended not byFallout’sstealth mechanics, or a careless move, or a huge enemy, but by a truck.
The truck in question was not running, as it was instead sitting quite peacefully. There were no enemies nearby and no sense of danger, but upon trying to jump into the truck to look for loot, the player hit it at an odd angle and died instantly. This is not the sort ofglitch that mislabels aFallout 4player’s inventory, as this one is a literal run ender. Many comments on the post either relate to the experience or wonder why they haven’t experienced it yet.
Unfortunately, this is not the first instance of the cars inFallout 4being glitched, although they usually don’t rob progress in this way. ApparentlyBethesda already has plans forFallout 5, and hopefully those plans involve avoiding the bugs that plague the beloved franchise.
Survival mode can be a fun way to experience the game, but it’s not for everyone. There are a lot ofgoodFallout 4modsout there that improve play or bring up new ways to play altogether, and they are still worth exploring in 2022. It seems like players will want to be careful of peacefully parked vehicles, however.
Fallout 4is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
