Fallout 2 can be difficult for new players. For all Fallout games, however, certain strategies will increase your chances of success. Start by familiarizing yourself with official game manuals and guides. Make allies quickly and talk with others to see if you can benefit. Be resourceful with collecting items. Searching your locations for things you can use is key to optimizing your Fallout gameplay. Don’t try to challenge others before you are ready. Investing in first aid through doctor’s skills is also helpful.
