Summary

• Reddit BootGroundbreaking91 reached Level 501 and collected 1,008,874 Bottle Caps in Fallout 4 without mods.
• They accomplished this feat in just two months, playing for at least 1000 hours.
• Fallout 4's accessible gameplay and robust modding scene keep fans engaged and exploring the Wasteland.

The Fallout 4 community has spent hundreds of millions of hours exploring the Commonwealth but one fan in particular may be the most dedicated Sole Survivor yet. An average playthrough of the 2015 RPG, one that includes the completion of most side-quests and a decent amount of time spent constructing a base, should take s around 50 hours, yet most enthusiasts will say that's a drop in the ocean. With the addition of mods, players can easily spend years exploring the world and collecting every stray item they discover.

This was recently proved by Reddit BootGroundbreaking91 who shared images of their save file to a stunned community.

Quipping that they believe it's time to start a new save, the player has managed to get their character to Level 501 while also amassing a whopping 1,008,874 Bottle Caps and, perhaps most impressively, hundreds of pieces of Power Armor. The last point is evidenced by the player's collection which is displayed in a special warehouse where the various suits are lined up and ready to be used, although it's far more impressive to have them standing around as a complete collection.

There's A Lot Of Junk In The Wasteland

Taking to the comments, BootGroundbreaking91 reveals that in their time spent on this particular save they didn't use any mods and, perhaps most impressively, they only started it after the premiere of Prime Video's Fallout series. That means that they gained 500 Levels and collected their army of Power Armors within just two months, requiring them to play for at least 1000 hours. The community was sufficiently impressed by the players' dedication with many noting that while they're huge Fallout 4 fans, they're nowhere close to Level 501.

Fallout 4 may be nearly a decade old but the game was recently launched back into the mainstream spotlight thanks to the success of the Fallout streaming series. While most franchise enthusiasts will argue that Fallout: New Vegas is the best game in the series, the fourth mainline installment is the most accessible for a casual player who simply wants to experience the strange world of the Wasteland. It helps that it's also relatively straightforward in of its mechanics as Fallout 4 was criticized at launch for placing too much emphasis on its combat and not enough on role-playing.

When it comes to displaying their progress, the Fallout 4 community goes to great lengths to show off their collections. Players are known to spend hours simply decorating storage rooms filled with the various oddities they may have discovered while wandering around the Commonwealth. Thanks to the game's robust modding scene, there's always something new to find, meaning fans should never run out of fresh content.
