Fallout 4’s “Far Harbor”: Take a look at the new content alongside some handy tips to get started

Fallout 4‘s “Far Harbor” DLC is almost upon us, and we’ve got a video exploring the content alongside some handy tips and tricks.

First of all, here’s a quick look at what to expect from the content, which adds a new locale, companion, weaponry, armour and more:

Meanwhile, a Reddit user who’s already played through the DLC has some helpful, spoiler-free hints for those booting up the content for the first time:

• BRING NICK VALENTINE. I can’t stress this enough. Nick has a lot of new dialog with the new NPCs and the new areas, and makes the plot of the DLC so much better in my opinion.
• Do NOT bring a lot of weapons with you. you dont want your inventory to be full, and you also dont want to drop your sweet gear, so only bring your best, most versatile weapons, because bethesda has added NEW legendary effects for weapons and armor, and the vendors have a lot of great new weapons
• Level up Charisma or bring your Charisma gear + drugs. There are a lot of speech checks, as you’d imagine, but they actually can change the outcome of sidequests and of the main quest, and you might not wanna fail those speech checks, so bring your Agatha’s dress, your grape mentats and your day tripper.
• If you haven’t yet, unlock every faction on the Commonwealth. They actually play a part (optional) on the main storyline of the DLC, so if you were planning to side with, say, the Brotherhood or the Institute, you might wanna join them before you start the dlc.
• Don’t rush the main storyline. Finish all the sidequests. Some can be blocked from being finished if you chose a certain path, so if you wanna complete at least most of the sidequests, don’t go rushing the main storyline too much.
• Bring your rad resistant gear. some areas might just kill you with the amount of radiation it generates, so if you have rad resistant gear, like the hazmat suit, I recommend bringing it.
• Skill Checks are back, and some of them arent easy, so if you don’t wanna get locked out of some options, I recommend bringing drugs and gear that enhances your S.P.E.C.I.A.L Attributes.
• And last but not least, pick the Sarcastic option as much as you can. this tip is optional, but seriously, the humor in some of these options are absolutely great, and you can be SURE that redditors will spam pictures of them for a few days as they always do, so if you wanna have a laugh, be sure to pick the Sarcastic Option.

Fallout 4‘s “Far Harbor” heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
