Fallout 4 Cheats & Cheat Codes for PC

Fallout 4 Summary

Fallout 4 is the eighth game in the long-running Fallout series and the fourth main numbered entry. Unquestionably, the Fallout series is known as the preeminent post-apocalyptic RPG since its first game in 1997. The series is famous for its dark humor, punishing difficulty, and freedom afforded to players. After being dormant for nearly a decade, Bethesda Games bought the rights and revived the franchise with Fallout 3. Fallout 4 is the third game in the series to adopt a first-person viewpoint and is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Fallout 4 Premise

The beginning of Fallout 4 puts players in the shoes of the “Sole Survivor” – the last remaining resident of Vault 111 more than 200 years after The Great War. The game begins in the year 2077, with players given the opportunity to craft their character and then experience the events that unfold on the eve of the apocalypse. After taking shelter in Vault 111, the player enters cryogenic sleep and does not wake until 210 years later in the year 2087.

The game takes place 10 years after the events of Fallout 3 and is centered around post-apocalyptic Massachusetts. As the Sole Survivor of Vault 111, it is up to you to find your missing spouse and child. Players venture across The Commonwealth (the name given to Boston and the surrounding area) and unravel the mystery of their disappearance.
