Easy Theft

By Adecool

It's possible to steal items at any time of day, in any situation. All you need to do is pick up a basket, bucket, kettle, or any other 'container' type item and place it over any NPC's head. With the item over their head, they will not be able to see you as you plunder their Soon-to-be-bankrupt shop. This trick does not, however, work for pickpocketing. It only works for stealing items off counters, shelves, etc. Lastly, there are a few, select NPC's that will not allow you to put the bucket, basket, etc. over their heads. It seems like they have a sort of 'bubble' around them that prevents it from fitting on their head for more than a few seconds.

Early Cryolator

By Adecool

To obtain the Cryolator at the very beginning of the game without ever upgrading your lock picking skill, simply take dogmeat to vault 111 and the overseers office as soon as you get him. Once there, make certain the door to the ventilator room is open, then speak to dogmeat, choose the dialog options 'fetch', then 'items' and - voila! Watch as he comically waltzed right up to the master locked case and plucked the Cryolator right out, before dropping it on the floor at your feet! To get the ammo for it, however, you will have to 'trade' it back from his inventory.
