The wastelands and the various settlements within Fallout 4 is full of chairs, sofas, benches, and various other items that allow you to sit on them. Does sitting actually have a purpose or is it just an alternate to sleeping but without the "Well Rested" bonuses?

What's the purpose of sitting down in Fallout 4?

Best Answer

According to the Fallout Wiki one must be sitting to wait in the game. In previous Bethesda games you could just wait by standing in a location unless involved in a few situations like combat or dialog. Since you might be in an area doing something that is time sensitive and have no way of finding a bed to rest, you just need to find a place to sit and you can wait. To wait, you have to sit and then bring up the wait menu. On PC, it is reached by hitting 'T'

Fallout – What’s the health formula in Fallout 4

Your character starts with a base HP of 80, with 5 extra points for every point of endurance. When you level up you gain a base of 2.5 HP, along with half of your endurance.

This effect is retroactive, your HP will raise accordingly if your endurance increases. Note that this does not account for any enhancements from gear, stims, or food.

In order to account for buffs, you can use the complete formula:

80 + (CurrentEndurance * 5) + (Level - 1) * (PermanentEndurance * .5 + 2.5)

PermanentEndurance refers to all endurance accrued via bobbleheads, the SPECIAL book, perk assignment, or initial SPECIAL assignment at the beginning of the game. CurrentEndurance accounts for endurance bonuses from gear and buffs.

Fallout – What’s the lunchbox for

Picking up a Vault-Tec lunchbox will open it and spawn a random item, which will fall out of the lunchbox and be on the floor somewhere near by. You get to keep the lunchbox after opening it and it can be used in crafting.

From experience it's largely junk items that you can use in crafting. It's possible to save your game before opening the lunchbox and reload it to try for another item as the item is spawned at the point you open the lunchbox.
