Summary

  • Fast-traveling in Fallout 4 can lead to unexpected deaths in dangerous areas like West Roxbury Station.
  • With the renaissance Fallout 4 has experienced in 2024, players are rediscovering the Commonwealth's dangers in hilarious ways, like being blown up by mutants.
  • Some unfortunate deaths in the game are due to bad luck and glitches, costing players progress in high difficulty modes.

A Fallout 4 player has recently shared a video in which they fast-travel to a location in the Commonwealth, only to die in a few seconds. Fast-travel is generally safe in Fallout 4, but the game has a few locations where players can be swarmed by enemies and not have enough time to react.

Originally released in 2015, Fallout 4 is going through a sort of renaissance in 2024. After the debut of the widely praised Fallout TV show, Fallout 4 has seen a huge surge in players, and some of them are rediscovering some of the dangers of the Commonwealth in the most hilarious ways.

Now, an unlucky Fallout 4 player called Kay-San-TheNorthStar has shared a 14-second clip showing their latest misfortune while playing the open-world game. In the short video, it’s possible to see Kay-San-TheNorthStar fast-traveling to the West Roxbury Station, only to be exploded by a Suicider Mutant in less than four seconds. While there are many dangerous places in the Commonwealth, West Roxbury Station is among the worst ones for fast-travel, as it has three Super Mutants armed with nukes near the spawning point.

Fallout 4 Player Fast-Travels Straight Into Their Death

While fast-travel can be useful, it can also be a hilarious way to die in Fallout 4, and some other players shared their similar stories in the comments of Kay-San-TheNorthStar’s post. One gamer, for instance, recalled that they fast-travel to West Roxbury Station at least once per playthrough, always forgetting why it’s a bad idea until it’s too late. Others told Kay-San-TheNorthStar that essentially the only way to escape from death there is by entering VATS before the loading screen even fully loads.

This is just one of the many bizarre deaths that Fallout 4 players have had recently. Last year, a gamer uncovered an instant death spot in Fallout 4. This person discovered that there was a missing water zone near the ruins of Forest Grove Marsh and that jumping into the river from a certain spot would lead to immediate death, as there would be no water to prevent the fall damage.

Some other deaths, however, are very unfortunate, as they are a combination of bad luck with playing in high difficulties. For example, one Fallout 4 player died in Survival Mode when a car suddenly glitched and crushed them. While it’s a somewhat amusing situation, this gamer lost 30 minutes of progress in Survival Mode, which is a huge play time to lose due to a random bug.
