Fallout 4 is out, and you can play it RIGHT NOW! How exciting is that? However, now that people can finally play Fallout 4, they are probably wondering how to make the best and strongest gear possible to dominate the Wasteland. Thanks to this crafting guide, you now have all the components, perks, and other information you need to get that awesome item.

Armor Crafting Tips

Character Tips

So you want to be as safe as you possibly can out in the Wastelands, eh? Good choice. There are tons of dangerous creatures, Supermutants, and other enemies who all want to see you dead. Might as well make it as hard as possible to take you down with awesome armor.

First off, since this is a character build with multiple options, you should have points scattered across several stats. If you want to craft the best armor though, you'll need points in Strength and Intelligence.

From here, you'll definitely want to focus first on the Armorer perk. This will unlock access to many early armor mods. There are four levels to Armorer, so make sure you keep adding points to the perk when they become available. Keep leveling up and adding to your skills until you have a high enough Intelligence to get the Science! perk. You'll also need all four ranks in Science! to unlock all of the best armor mods and upgrades.

Item Tips

Now that your character is all ready to craft, make sure you have the right components and supplies. Along with a base piece of armor such as a chest plate, helmet, or limbs pieces, you'll need other supplies like adhesives, aluminum, and screws. The metal and gears and things are all pretty easy to come across in various toys, buckets, and other things like that. The real trick is getting enough adhesives.

ADHESIVES CRAFTING TUTORIAL

If you can't find enough Wonderglue or Duct tape around the Wasteland, you can still craft adhesives. First, get plenty of Tatos, Corn, and Mutfruit. From there, stock up on as much purified water as you can find. If you can't find any, you can cook three dirty waters to make one purified water.

Once you have Tatos, Corn, Mutfruit and Purified Water, go to a cooking station and make Vegetable Starch. This will give you a whopping 5 adhesives to craft with.

From there, just follow the spreadsheet below. All craftable armor mods can be found, along with their properties, what they need to get made, and the weight and cost of each mod.
