Passing time is quite a common occurrence in Bethesda games and Fallout 4 is no exception. However, it is a little trickier to get the day to advance if you haven’t played these games before. Here’s how you can wait and pass the time in Fallout 4.
Passing Time in Fallout 4
To pass the time in Fallout 4, you will need to find a place to sit. A chair, a couch, or a bench will do. You can also lay down in a bed to sleep, which is the same as passing time. Also, you cannot wait while trespassing in an enemy territory or in an irradiated area. Therefore, you will need to find a place away from the commotion.
Once you do, sit down, press the button prompted and the wait menu will appear. Choose how much time you need to pass while waiting and click OK. There are multiple reasons why players should consider waiting in the game.
Waiting passes the time allowing you to get to a particular time of the day. There are multiple benefits to reaching a particular time since some merchants operate only during those times. In addition, the player’s health and stamina are restored by waiting.
The wait function also prevents hunger, thirst, and the effects of disease so that you do not bite the dust prematurely. Waiting also allows the NPCs to catch up with you. Aside from gameplay benefits, you can pass the time to get to your preferred setting, whether it is day or night.
While the wait feature isn’t simple like in other Bethesda games, it provides enough benefits for players tackling the survival mode. The ability to heal instantly and prevent diseases is going to be a huge asset before you go out there facing adversaries.
The waiting feature might not be the most exciting part for most players, but it is necessary so that you can ensure a longer playthrough. For more Fallout 4 guides, check out our Fallout 4 page.
