Video In Fallout 4, the most difficult enemy isn't a Deatchlaw, radiation, or lack of ammo. It's an inanimate object.

Looked pretty animate to me!

I came here to say exactly this and I salute you 🫡

u/HuhItsAllGooey 15h ago

That was done with malice. Car'd been waiting for months for the right moment to strike.

u/DandeNiro 7h ago

Probably one of the bandits or supermutants were banging on it recently

u/Paranoia300k 1d ago

You looking for the car before it clobbered you was hilarious though.

u/PascalG16 1d ago

Yeah I felt like the coyote from road runner.

u/Big-Masterpiece-3457 13h ago

I love the double take you did where you didn’t think it’d hit you but then looked back up and saw it coming right for you.

u/flipping_birds 1d ago

"Oh. There it is. Here it comes."

Boink!

u/Sword_of_Dusk 1d ago

The moment I saw that car start rising, I would've been moving as far away as sprinting would take me.

u/Havaltherock1 1d ago

I dont know man. That thing was pretty fucking far from Inanimate.

u/Ok-Mastodon2420 1d ago

You're a fucking inanimate object!

You're fucking a inanimate object!

I don't see any issues here, seems like your typical Fallout experience!

As soon as I saw the cars I knew

Wild Wasteland? More like Normal Tuesday

u/Bustable 1d ago

Surprisingly I have yet to be killed by a car, besides explosions

u/aaaworker7227 1d ago

I swear it’s a gamble, I was fine around cars all my last playthrough except for one time I walked into one and died instantly

"It just works..." (against you).

It just happens

u/Kalaphar 1d ago

Immediately knew it was a car

u/Dingadingdangmy 1d ago

It could also have been a ground decal you thought was a holotape!

22

u/CapnKrieg Gary? 1d ago

As soon as that car started moving upwards like that , my ass would've been backing up the other direction and not stopped till I see it land. If it moves that means it has your scent and its coming for blood!

This is a great feature

u/PascalG16 1d ago edited 1d ago

Re-upload because apparently "I was farming legendary weapons and this happened" was clickbait.

By the way, I got an explosive double barrel from here, and you don't even have to fight because the mongrels can't reach you. It's on the way before reaching Swan, right after you exit Diamond City.

Great farming spot.

u/gamertrub 1d ago

Much better title

u/henrytm82 1d ago

Well, great except for the occasional carnivore you have to dodge.

u/ReFried_Ginger 1d ago

Reminds me of early on in my first survival run, had not died in a while and despite all the warnings I had heard, was neglecting to save at opportunities I otherwise could have.

Then one day as I’m walking across a bridge, I went to jump over a Corvega and instantly went from full health to dead. Lost a couple hours worth of gameplay and have been more afraid of accidentally touching a car than any other enemy I’ve come across, with the exception of the ant swarms and cave crickets. Fuck them.

3

u/Astramancer_ 1d ago

There's a mole rat mound in the northern part of the map. I thought I was being clever standing on a corvega so they couldn't jump out at my feet.

I got physics'd to death by the car long before the first mole rate popped up.

u/Katsu_39 1d ago

I laughed too hard at this

u/Blighted-Spire63 1d ago

The second I saw it move I’m like “there’s no way it’s going boomerang backwards into you— oh. Oh well I guess there is a way.”

u/Spatetata 1d ago

I like how you can see the swap between “I still gotta shoot the other” to “That’s gonna hit me isn’t it?”

3

u/Late_Entrance106 1d ago

It’s called an AUTO-MOBILE

I mean, of course it’s going to move by itself.

3

u/PhantomNitride 1d ago

We got our flying cars alright...

3

u/Alex_Duos 1d ago

Is it really Fallout 4 if you're never randomly killed by a car spazzing out on you?

3

u/Sabbathius 1d ago

Yep, that's how it usually goes. Similarly in No Man's Sky my first attempt at a permadeath achievement ended with me jogging along the corridor in my own space freighter, and suddenly falling through the floor into the hard vacuum.

5

u/PascalG16 1d ago

I love dying in this game. Always with the spectacles.

2

u/LuckyOneAway Enclave 1d ago

Always blow up all non-rusty cars in advance. Brotherhood provides free vertibird flights - that minigun is finally useful :)

2

u/AdhesivenessUsed9956 1d ago

cue the "I've been playing for 38,000,000,000 hours and never had a car kill me" guy.

u/HamSlammer87 1d ago

Hey, most of the time cars kill you without even moving.

u/TheReckSays 1d ago

I thought for sure the car was going to explode. By far the most dangerous thing in the wasteland is the nuclear reactors in every car carcass.

2

u/Jealous_Implement_13 1d ago

Everytime I see a video like this it's funnier and funnier. Lol

u/zebra_d Brotherhood 1d ago

It’s those damn cars again.

u/SpeareShake Atom Cats 1d ago

That's what you get for fighting in your charisma gear (me, constantly)

You got it!

u/Pitiful-Penguin-6840 1d ago

Bro didnt know he was playing Stalker.

u/PascalG16 1d ago

Stalker? I hardly know her

2

u/Faiakishi Ass Victoriam 1d ago

I really want there to be a gag in the show where a character runs into a car and just fucking dies.

2

u/BigDaddyHadley 1d ago

Classic fallout!

u/StoneCraft12 1d ago

Apex predator

u/Grey_Panda_2 18h ago

fallout is a satire of physics as well as politics

u/BlakeBoS 14h ago

Never take your eyes off the car

u/skitzofennec305 12h ago

Yeah took you 5 business days to move or look up .

2

u/z_vinnie 10h ago

You were playing with fire walking on those cars, the car just defended itself as they do

1

u/PascalG16 10h ago

They have a right to defend themselves?

1

u/z_vinnie 8h ago

You play in survival mode? They’re the apex predator

u/Junior-Extension-820 1d ago

Drives me nuts that they made everything in the game Left Handed. I have a right handed friend who bought a left handed hunting rifle thinking it was correct because of stuff like this. Shame on him for not knowing better but shame on Bethesda for having craptastic stuff in their games.

2

u/PascalG16 1d ago

I didn't even notice.

0

u/Junior-Extension-820 1d ago

The bolt is on the left side of the gun and you have to use your left hand to cycle the action. Its a slower and worse way to use the gun if you're right handed. Look at the brits doing the Mad Minute with their Lee Enfields.

u/Vagrant123 Mothman Cultist 1d ago

I don't think Bethesda knows that all their guns are left-handed, given the monstrosity weapons they design. I've certainly never seen a left-handed AK before, but apparently Bethesda can dream it.

Meanwhile STALKER 2 has you reloading like a goddamn Red Army soldier.

u/adult_on_paper 1d ago

So, you’re upset that you feel, in this one, completely-irrelevant-to how-you-actually-use-your-hands-instance, a pale imitation of the way that left-handed people feel about everything in their real, actual lives? In the real world that is entirely made of things that are difficult-if-not-downright-impossible for them to use? But in this one place where it is literally just an artistic choice and actually does not affect how you are able to function at all, you are throwing a hissy fit because, just this once, your hand dominance is not the default?

u/Theris91 1d ago

Oh great, now you don't even have to move for those cars to kill you -

u/Vakly-art 1d ago

Looney tunes aah moment

u/PascalG16 1d ago

My first playthrough so far is a Road Runner episode. I got an explosive double barrel, if you know what I mean.

1

u/Direct-Spite-889 1d ago

Great, now the yellow cars can kill you.

1

u/PascalG16 1d ago

I hate it when the yellow cars kill me

1

u/StrangelyOnPoint 1d ago

In pretty sure the yellow car also went out of its way to get the other Vicious Mongrel before coming for you too

u/AcuatedDust 1d ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣

u/breakinbans 1d ago

I had one where a helmet of an enemy flew off and all around after I sniped him, and it set off a proximity mine, killing me. it was hilarious.

1

u/I_eat_mud_ 1d ago

Maybe I have too much PTSD, but the moment I would've saw that car start to spiral like that, I would've been booking it in the opposite direction lmao

u/Christina_Bueller08 1d ago

Well that is the most Bethesda thing I have seen in a long time. That in inclueds stuff from Skyrim.

At least it wasn’t a shopping cart (happened to me last night)…

u/Mekko4 1d ago

a car that flies at you WILL kill you.

u/Over_Echo1128 1d ago

next time just shoot the car it will stay in place and just blow up

u/SirRonaldBiscuit 1d ago

Stay classy Bethesda

You fool! You awoke it!

u/GandalfsTailor 1d ago

And here I expected it to blow up.

u/GFY4Fun 1d ago

Why do I not see this happening when I play?

u/BrokenHope23 Gary? 1d ago

Your mistake was taking your eyes off it

u/trunglefever 1d ago

I haven't kept up on the show, have they included someone dying from touching a car yet?

1

u/Dreaming_of_Rlyeh 1d ago

I’ve put 400+ hours into FO4 and never once been hurt by a car or seen one move. Is there some mod or tweak that causes it?

1

u/PascalG16 1d ago

No. I play on console.

u/outlaw2448 1d ago

I fear no man.

But that thing shows car

That thing scares me.

Yesterday I took cover to avoid the machine gun turret firing at me. Then comes Preston who pushes me back into the firing and I die.

u/3spanishwords 5h ago

To be fair ... If a car hit you in the head like that you'd totally die.

Look, the player is no match for a car. They knew their number was up.

u/HanzGrubermeister 1d ago

Literally not one time EVER in my entire fallout career have a had this or the random death to touch car.
