Is the struggle of this world merely a pleasant game for you? Do you long for a more brutal take on a life lived post apocalypse?
If you answered "Yes and yes!", then Survival difficulty is for you!
Survival upends many of the rules of life in the Commonwealth for maximum challenge. For a full list of these changes, see below.
To enable Survival, press [Pause], select "Settings," then "Gameplay" and choose "Survival" from the "Difficulty" options.
Saving
Manual and quicksaving are disabled. To save your game, you'll need to find a bed and sleep for at least an hour.
Combat
Combat is more lethal for everyone. You now deal, but also take, more damage. You can increase the damage you deal even further with "Adrenaline" (see below).
Fast Travel
Fast Travel is disabled. If you wish to be somewhere, you'll have to physically travel there.
Weighted Ammo
Bullets and shells now all have a small amount of weight, which varies by caliber. Heavier items such as fusion cores, rockets, and mini-nukes can really drag you down.
Compass
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled, as enemies will no longer appear on your compass. As well, the distance at which locations of interest will appear has been significantly shortened.
Adrenaline
Survival automatically grants the Adrenaline perk, which provides a bonus to your damage output. Unlike other perks, the only way to increase your rank of the Adrenaline perk is by getting kills (hostile or otherwise). The higher your Adrenaline rank, the higher the damage bonus. Sleeping for more than an hour, however, will cause your Adrenaline rank to lower. You can check your current Adrenaline rank at any time in the Perks section on the Stat tab in your Pip-Boy.
Wellness
You'll find it difficult to survive without taking proper care of yourself. You must stay hydrated, fed, and rested to remain combat-ready. Going for extended periods of time without food, water, or sleep will begin to adversely affect your health, hurting your SPECIAL stats, adding to your Fatigue (see "Fatigue" below), lowering your immunity (see "Sickness" below), and eventually even dealing physical damage to you.
Fatigue
Fatigue works like radiation but affects your Action Points (AP) rather than your Hit Points (HP). The more Fatigue you've built up, the less AP you'll have for other actions. The amount of Fatigue you've accumulated is displayed in red on your AP bar.
Sickness
A comprised immune system and a few questionable decisions can end up getting you killed. Eating uncooked meat, drinking unpurified water, taking damage from disease-ridden sources, such as ghouls and bugs, or using harmful Chems all put your body at increased risk for various ill effects. When you are afflicted with an illness, a message will appear onscreen. You can view specifics about your current illnesses by navigating to the Status section on your Pip-Boy's Data tab and pressing [RShoulder] to view your active effects.
Antibiotics
Antibiotics, which can be crafted at Chem Stations or purchased from doctors, heal the various effects of sickness.
Bed Types
The type of bed you're sleeping in determines the length of time you are able to stay asleep. A sleeping bag will save your game and may help save your life when you're desperate, but it will never allow for a full night's rest and the benefits that come with it.
Crippled Limbs
Crippled limbs will no longer auto-heal after combat and will remain crippled until healed by a Stimpak.
Carry Weight
Exceeding your carry weight reduces your Endurance and Agility stats and periodically damages your legs and health. Think of your back!
Companions
Companions will no longer automatically get back up if downed during combat and will return home if abandoned without being healed.
Enemy and Loot Repopulation
Locations you've cleared will now repopulate enemies and loot at a significantly slower rate.

So did anyone get the new expansion yet? Only played a little so far.

 

[Loquae]

I've played through the first mission, and have modified Ada a little bit. I need to get some energy weapons, as my ballistic one's don't do enough damage!

I hadn't played for months but downloaded the DLC and played straight through the new DLC.

Building up robots is fun. And is a reason to start resource gathering again.
The storyline is pretty generic with very little effort to create anything interesting.
But I had fun being back in the Fallout world.

Anyone played Survival Mode?
That looks cool but no saving (other than bed sleeping) would be brutal...and not in a fun way

The new dlc isn't bad but the stuff they announced for later sounds fantastic. A full state! Plus cars and over 1,000 miles of hwy95! Pretty cool. They said it will be more area then if you take all of fallout 4 plus 3 and new Vegas and all dlc and add that to skyrim and all its dlc. That's a ton of places!

 

[cokebabies]

I feel bad because this game totally lost my interest. I've played F3 / NV literally 50+ times. But eventually, I thought "I'm gonna pick up my Borderlands UVHM play". And for the past month or so, I've had no interest in returning.

Tweaking / building in F4 wasn't something I was too into, so the first DLC is not the thing to bring me back.

What's your source?
You got me all excited and I looked it up and I think what you're referring to is an April Fools article ?

 

[Spartan Rex]

Bethesda isn't doing the full state of Rhode Island that's from an April Fools article.

 

[Motuxmen]

I don't have s source. I just read a couple articles about it. Maybe it was April fools stuff. I forgot about it being that day. It's such a stupid day/idea. Like there's not enough of that crap already.

I finally folded and bought this game over the weekend. Aside from "No Man's Sky" I don't have anything else I am interested in playing coming out any time soon so I figured I have the time this game seems to require. So far so good, I was afraid I would get motion sickness but none yet. Its still very early in the game but I think I am happy with the purchase! My first Fallout game btw

I look forward to your update in 4 months time when you finally come up for air.

I'm trying to platinum this game, but wouldn't ya know it... My last trophy, collect 20 bobble heads, isn't possible because the charisma bobble head is at the end of a broken quest chain. GG Bethesda, patch that ish.

 

[K.bowen]

After putting 80hrs in this on ps4 I traded it in for a pc version and it is so much smoother

 

[jamesn50mm]

Oh man, this might be the thing that makes me pick this game up before a GOTY edition.
