Fallout 3 Cheats & Tips

The 9 achievements that you get when lvling up can be easily all obtained at the same time.It makes it easier so you don't have to go thru 3 times of the game you can just play one long game thru.

Ok.
When you are about to reach lvl 8 just save before you are about to lvl. Then simply change your Karma to either bad, neurtal, or good. Which ever you need for the achievement. Then after you have saved continue on playing and lvl up. There is one achievement done. Then reload the save you made before you were about lvl 8. Change Karma and repeat.
Feel free to do this on lvl 13 so you can get the lvl 14 achievements and then again on lvl 19 for the lvl 20 achievement.

There you go nine easy achievements.
Have fun.

1. two words; DART GUN, they run faster than you do s o if you criple thier legs, they'll be slow as a slug.
2. they will not attack you until you get close to them, after you hit them with the dart gun. so backpeddle them with the shotgun.


easy peasy, they might be the most frightning opponant,as if. with this info they should be considered extinct

If you look on the achievements you will probably notice that 9 of the achievements are Karma based. You have to be Good, Evil, or Neutral on level 8, 14 , and 20. Wait! That means I have to play the game 3 times to get them all! Worry not, for you can get them all in one go. Ok, Be good and become level 7, 13, or 19 and be close to leveling up. Next SAVE IT! Now go level up and you should get the Good acheveiment on what level you are. Now reload you saved file like I said then go be evil. When your Evil/Neutral level up and you will get them. Continute this method till you get every one.

I am sure that you want the best weapon in the game and this is the Firelance. You get this buy a random occurrence, and so you need a spot that the occurrence happens in. There are several in the game, but I like this one.

1. Go to the scrapyard and get Dogmeat(helps you find the weapon when it falls)
2. Travel up to the minefield and head up the hill towards the water tower.
3. You NEED to save the game about half way up to the tower.
4. Now all you have to do is walk up to the tower and different occurrence will happen everytime you reload(most more than once), but hopefully you get a UFO exploding out of the sky and dropping a whole bunch of Alien power cells(8) and your weapon.

This is one of the most powerful weapon in the game(I haven't seen the MIRV), but as you might have noticed it is low on ammo.

Don't give up though it took me 2 hours of reloading.

Occasionally, while out in the Wasteland, you'll encounter a beggar dying of thirst. Give him some Purified Water to gain some good Karma.

If you look around the outside of megaton look at all the rocks around megaton and one will be hollowed out and have ammo and guns both on ps3 and 360

Occasionally while out in the Wasteland, a pair or more Brotherhood Outcasts can be seen patrolling. Killing them will have no effect on your Karma. Please note that you still require Power Armor Training to actually wear the armor.

Also, I advise you not to attack them until you reach level 5 or so or obtain a better weapon, as these guys aren't pushovers.

You simply have to go to Smith Caesys Garage and enter the vault like you normally would.

This shortcut can be used if you blew up megaton without talking to 'Moriaty' about your dad or can't be bothered killing an army of super mutants but its fairly straight forward. All you have to do is go to rivet city and talk to doctor li she tells you what she normaly would have without talking to 'three dog'.

To do this you will need access to paradise falls.
Walk around inside until a guy comes up to you and offers you stuff and exit the dialogue and talk to him over and over again.
Do note that he gives you food, ammo and bottle caps as well so you won't get stimpaks every time.
This requires patience so keep pressing A on your controller while watching something on T.V.

Note: Might require bad karma to work.

To do this simply proceed to lockpick or hack a computer. When you are almost out of bobby pin durability or hacking attempts, exit the attempt and try again. Now you can work on that obstruction infinitely.

An easy way to steal stuff is to grab the thing move to an area that no one is looking at then steal it.

Ol' Painless is a unique hunting rifle located in the Republic of Dave, northeast of quest area Minefield. This hunting rifle is in a safe in the office in the Republic of Dave Capitol Building. To get the key and wipeout the Republic without Karma loss, declare war on the Republic when the kid questions you outside.

Ol' Painless is one of the few weapons with 0.0 spread. (Meaning the gun hits exactly where you aim in non-VATS.)

It also has good durability and does more damage then the normal hunting rifle.

This is very simple, download Operation:Anchorage (Gogogo! Totally worth it!) then go into the armoury. Pick up the power armour. You now have power armour training!

(I found this out on my second playthrough of O:A on my n00b char. Now she isnt a noob with outcast armour ^^)

OK, all you have to do for a few grand$$$$ is start the "Nuka-Cola Challenge" and inside the girls house, and while she isn't looking, rob her blind! lots of bad Karma, but its defiantly worth it.

First it is Required that you first have a sneak skill of 60 and at level 10 obtain the perk known as "Sandman". Now go to any city in which it is easy to find children sleeping, a good town is Andale.
Now go up to the sleeping child and sneak behind them, if you have the perk it will allow you to choose to kill the child, if you chose to kill them you will gain the experience but you actually wont kill them, thus you won't lose karma or get people hostile towards you, repeat till you have wanted experience.

Note: You can increase the difficulty to net more exp.

I have tested this on both PS3 And xbox360

(Will only work if the latest patch is not installed)

Get your speech skill to 50. Go to Little lamplight. Find the kid named knock knock. Talk, and ask her to tell you a joke. Do the speech challenge, win and get +5xp. Keep doing it until you lose!

You can gain infinite XP if your speech skill is high enough.(My speech was about 30 at the time). Go to town called "Big Town" located north of Vault 101.If you spoke with a girl named Bittercup she should tell you about her dating exploits. After speaking with her, go into the house marked "Common House" and speak to a man named Pappy. There should be a speech skill dialogue option that says "You came here with Bittercup, right?" You will get XP every time you click it. (I got 6XP with each click). Continue to do this and you can rack up XP in mere seconds. Bethesda has not yet patched this glitch.

This a glitch for getting infinite exp Steps: 1.) Reach level 10 with a sneak skill of 60 and get the Mr. Sandman perk. 2.) Go to Andale (south central part of the map) 3.) Wait until around 1am and go into the Smith house while they are sleeping. 4.) Go upstairs into the kid's bedroom 5.) Use sandman on him (crouch and select him and and use the first option) 6.) Repeat step 5 7.) Increase difficulty for more XP.

To find the only piece of armour in the game that actually talks to you, you must go to Old Olney. Be prepared for a fight, the place is filled with Deathclaws, I would recommend finding a companion before venturing here.

Make your way to Old Olney sewers, there are two entrances, one of them is through a manhole cover, and the other is through a door underneath a metal panel that falls away when you step on it. It's easily recognisable from the street, it's just a black rectangle, go and stand on it, and you will fall down into a hole with a door in it, enter the door.

When exploring the sewers, which are also filled with Deathclaws, you may find a dead Brotherhood initiate with power armour on, this is the one!

Search him, take his armour, and put it on. The armour will speak to you in the same voice and style as a Mr Gutsy robot. During combat, if you have Med-X in your inventory and you become hurt, the armour will automatically inject the Med-X into you.
