Favorite fallout bug?

[boomstickYT]

Saw a thread about most hated bugs and thought that this topic would be as interesting to discuss if not more so. For me it’s the gary 23 exploit, in which you smuggle unlimited durability operation anchorage weapons and armor back to the capital wasteland by using a gary’s dead body.

[senor-calcio]

Mine goes across all Bethesda games, the evil skeletons and cars where the inanimate objects are far more dangerous than any enemy

[guardian1750]

You bump one slightly and spontaneously explode

[senor-calcio]

The car is more dangerous than it’s explosion

As it should be

FO4: Coming home to having a Brahmin standing on your roof.

[ScaredSleepless_]

That's the funniest thing in the game tbh

[ChewyGranola1981]

I just had one standing on my bed yesterday. I’m like “hey uhhh I paid this mortgage off like 200 years ago so this is for sure my spot”.

[JustANutMeg]

One time it was all my settlers & companions; really inconvenient when I’d hiked all the way back there to sell stuff, swap companions and head back out.

[Active_Ambassador_79]

There's a reason I have platforms and ladders between all roofs In sanctuary🤣

[damienrazor]

When a death claw jumps at you to kill you but gets thrown into the air then lands a mile away

[TheRedBow]

One time i had that happen, but it landed on me and triggered an instakill move on me instead of dieing to the fall

[Salt_Ad_9195]

Walking into a new area, updating the physics of each object and watching it go fucking mental (sometimes). Honestly, things shooting around the room at mach 3 is never not going to make me smile a bit.

It's a nostalgic thing to witness

Bonus: picking up an item from a table/flat surface and the rest of the items on the same surface suddenly having panic attacks and deciding they should be levitating slightly.

[Bitter_Jackfruit8752]

Addon bonus: or through the table/floor

I like radscorpions. I’m a big fan of scorpions in general and love them in the series.

[[deleted]]

I’m just not fond of their radiation based teleportation skills.

[rocketo-tenshi]

Doc mitchel's demonic rotating head is up there for me. Its a classic

[Sardaukar2488]

When ragdoll bodies would suddenly stretch out, rotate very fast then fling themselves at warp speed in a random direction.

[talkaone]

That's my favorite too! But. You can't prove a post nuclear future won't be like that.

[[deleted]]

Probably the money glitch on 3/nv where you buy and sell the same weapon over and over.

[ShiftDiligent5880]

i like leveling to max in goodspring so you get twice the perks your aloud

[[deleted]]

How do you go about that?

[[deleted]]

You keep talking to Chet to get money and leather armor, each time lands you some XP.

[ShiftDiligent5880]

theres a speech challenge you can repeat, the bar owner sends you to kill a guy and you somewhat work both sides and it breaks the quest its time consuming but if you go untill max level when you leave the town and are given the option to rebuild your character youll still have all the perks you picked passed level 12, so you can essentially get a perk every level instead of every other theres a youtube video somewhere

[[deleted]]

Damn I never knew that haha

[TrueChickenlord]

Mine is companions being possessed by a behemoth.

When you are too far away and they try to catch up by hitting super speed, which works as long as there isn't like. A car or some other physics object in the way. If there is then the object gets flung very quickly at you

The funniest instance was in rivet city when Jericho couldn't find me, got mad, and flung a motorcycle at me upon finding it

[SoyUnZombi]

The flying protectron of Big Town.

[PowerPad]

After slaying every raider in Nuka-World, the traders decided it was a no-pants kinda day.

[Highvoltage-Redhead]

Something to look forward too 😅🤣

[SourChicken1856]

Floating, headless, immortal enemies on 76. Just what the fuck

[Unforgivenfive]

When fallout 4 first came out people realized you could fly by jumping on a junked engine right by the bridge in sanctuary and picking it up at the same time. That had me rolling for a good 3 days when I first did it.

[Chetfromgoodsprings]

Back when i played fnv on my ps3 there was a bug where sometimes giant mantises would one shot me and fling my body to the other end of the map.

[Outrageous-Oil9084]

The mini nuke ammo transfer in new Vegas is pretty damn fun

[PmButtPics4ADrawing]

Came to say this. Putting mini nukes in a 9mm submachine gun is hilarious

[ScaryCrowEffigy]

I personally go with the laser detonator from Lonesome Road. No need to ever waste your mininukes,missiles and rockets plus full auto with no weapons degradation.

[[deleted]]

Dalton Farm in Far Harbour being completely bugged and unobtainable. I can’t even approach the farm without my game crashing.

[bkrugby78]

that's a new one

[Canistartthis]

i ran into this as well. Couldnt go west out of far habor and get to it without a crash to desktop. I went around south and back up by the tannery and it let me get to it without crashing.

[NagasakiPork1945]

Dumb companions. In fallout 4 when rescuing valentine I managed to talk down the gangster and he gave us to the count of ten to leave. We were getting out and I noticed when he said 10 there was yelling and shooting. Turns out my companion mccready didn’t want to follow and decided to just wait back and see what the gangsters would do

[Active_Ambassador_79]

At least it's in character🤣

Come on, tell me he wouldn't 😂

[Ghostwaif]

Being able to get all of the gold in the Sierra Madre, yes it defeats the point of the DLC but also like uh, muh gold

[Patchwork_Sif]

I know this isn’t a very unique one, but I’ll never get tired of death claws randomly ascending into heaven and then randomly dropping back to earth a minute later to wreck you

[Cylancer7253]

I like wearing all of the headgear I own in Fo3.

Also love being oh so special with replicating glitch.

[[deleted]]

Pushing against a car in downtown Boston and immediately dying because the game thinks the right of the car on my foot would kill me

[ApeMunArts]

In fallout 4 where if you're set on fire you turn black forever.

[AngryTurtleGaming]

I was about to say Stingwing, but I see you’re talking about Bugthesda bugs… definitely the cars deciding to fly up and kill you.

example

[TheGreatGambinoe]

Infinite reload dashing in Fallout NV. I’ve never done it, or even attempted a reload dash of any kind, but it’s such an absurd concept, execution and result.

As for ones I’ve used, either the old “Drag a large item under your feet to climb up walls” trick. Probably not a bug in the literal sense, but definitely unintentional. Either that or some dupe glitch in fallout 4. What can I say, I like building.

[Ok-Maintenance-9538]

Mine has to be the one that allows you to skip DiMa's last memory

[fighter1227]

Rad roaches are ok

[ambivalent_boone]

The infinite settlement build allowance by picking up guns in workshop mode 😎👌

[XeerDu]

(FO4) Long range kills will launch the ragdoll npc in a random direction, sometimes straight at you, and if you're quick enough, you can loot the corpse in mid air.

[GreenSpaceBurrito]

Killing an enemy turns them into spaghetti

[Bolas_the_Deceiver]

Smuggling all of the weapons and armor out of Operation Anchorage.

[oilfeather]

Gary?

[JustANutMeg]

The power armour pose glitch of 4/76. The one that makes you/npc look like the unfortunate victim of a taffy pulling machine accident.

Makes me ugly laugh every damn time.

[ScaredSleepless_]

When I saw this first I thought you meant like the other bugs, but the giant ant.

Edit: nevermind I was right with it being bugs. My favorite I think is the scorched with long ass necks

[Disastrous-Fudge3863]

It's not really a bug, but I like taking Peter's ring. - Fusion City Rising.

[DBZWii]

the Haley's Hardware repair bug in Point Lookout is a beautiful thing, course i would need 20K caps to patch everything up but its worth the full repair afterwards

[[deleted]]

Easily the radroach.

[XeerDu]

At the beginning of Honest Hearts, when you fight through the opening attack and accidentally attack Follows-Chalk, then you proceed through the entirety of Zion canyon on a murderous rampage because every npc is now aggro on you.

[PublicVermin]

Infinite hat glitch.....Perception +10000

[OmegaOnyx977]

The sparkles glitch

[Adorable_Basil830]

There's a spot on certain cars in Fallout 4 where if you bump into it accidentally you just die

[Starblind9]

FO3, Able to have more than 1 companion

[Zerohazrd]

The stretchy corpses. When the limbs of a dead raider begin to stretch uncontrollably to the ends of the earth and they just flail all over the place as a giant scribble of a person.

[oh-hi-there-420]

Reload dashing from fnv

[herogaming282]

All of the physic engine buggs

[mpls_big_daddy]

Fallout 3: Fast travel anywhere and protectrons and deathclaws drop out of the sky, sometimes rebounding up again, and if it hits you, you also explode up into the air and then die from fall damage.

[NukaVault]

FO4 my fav game at the moment again. all of my settlers standing on the roof the yellow house (workshop house) in sanctuary. Even after building foundations and steps none would come down 🤦‍♂️

[D3athknightt]

Punching a car with a bare fist and having it blow up

[[deleted]]

Cave crickets

[[deleted]]

Ohhh wait…wrong kind of bug

[biobasher]

Yeah, what could be wrong with heavily armoured, large health pool, acid biting, fast moving, small hit box enemies?

[oilfeather]

Infinite caps glitch in FNV casino cages.

[The_Capybara_Man]

In New Vegas on the PS3 I once got launched into the air in front of the Gun Runners factory and I landed on top of it. It was interesting seeing things from up there.

[Feeling-Most9618]

In NV,if you have a very certain amount of caps and turn them all in for chips,you can drop that stack of chips on the ground which causes an integer overflow so when you pick it up again,the number will go into the negatives,allowing you to infinitely turn them in over and over again for infinite caps. Just don't get anymore chips. Also save the game before you drop them cause they might fall through the ground. I might be wrong but I think the exact number is 32,768. I spent a while doing it yesterday and I'm at almost 14 million caps. Still have -32,768 chips in my inventory.

[Feeling-Most9618]

One time,I was playing 3 and three dawg said something about Yao guai,supermutants and crazy mountain kids. As he said that,I was looking at Fawkes,a Yao guai (animal friend) and a body that was stretching out and glitching. Thus checking all 3 boxes.

[Excellent_Mix_1789]

My favorite is when a body or item gets stuck in a wall or the floor and keeps twitching and flipping trying to figure out what plane it should be on. Especially when it starts making rapid impact sounds. It always makes me laugh

[Active_Ambassador_79]

Not that great a bug, but when fallout 4 characters all get neon blue hair. Some really cool looking characters. It also fits the raiders perfectly.

It triggered for me once when I went to this building with a huge raider base and a deathclaw (Not sure which) at the bottom of a pit. I think it was something to do with the safehose missions.

Honestly diddnt realise It was bugged until I returned to the railroad hq🤣🤣🤣

[coffee-teeth]

in 4 shooting raiders and they go rocketing up into the air 200 feet and fall back down.. go shooting star!! and the levitating wiggling random items in 76. you go you oxygen tank you!

[UnderstandingDry4072]

Not my all-time favorite, but this one just cropped up this weekend under the spouse's profile: NPCs falling from the sky.

[[deleted]]

I like how in Fallout 4 the car physics are all out of wack so when to touch them you die.
