Early Cryolator

By Adecool

To obtain the Cryolator at the very beginning of the game without ever upgrading your lock picking skill, simply take dogmeat to vault 111 and the overseers office as soon as you get him. Once there, make certain the door to the ventilator room is open, then speak to dogmeat, choose the dialog options 'fetch', then 'items' and - voila! Watch as he comically waltzed right up to the master locked case and plucked the Cryolator right out, before dropping it on the floor at your feet! To get the ammo for it, however, you will have to 'trade' it back from his inventory.

Easy XP during Tiny Tina's Tea Party Mission (Pre-Patch)

By Adecool

At the end of Tiny Tina's Tea Party side quest you're required to lure a psycho named 'Flesh Stick' back to her home. If you shoot and kill Flesh Stick rather than luring him back you'll reap a huge XP boost (750xp/kill on level 18 and around 1,800xp on level 17) which can be repeated by simply talking to Tiny Tina again and restarting the mission. This exploit works best during co-op play. where one person stations where Flesh Stick spawns and another at Tiny Tina. Doing so will enable you to repeat this process in quick succession until the game will no longer spawn Flesh Stick again. At this point you can run back to the start of the area, exit and return, or (faster), save & quit then reload the game. Doing so will allow Flesh Stick to respawn again.

Character Model Change

By Adecool

You can change and mess character model appearance in the character select screen (Say, Ember in Cassidy's pose and weapons). Press Left+Right+Up at the same time to get a 'random select' effect and release to get a random character model change.

Easy Thousand Cuts Farming

By Adecool

After accepting the quest 'Rocko's Modern Strife' and heading to Thousand Cuts to start 'Defend Slab Tower' you should notice that no foes will spawn in the area; as long as you don't progress through the quest. Since normal foes will no longer spawn, you are free to circle the area and loot every chest without being hindered by enemies. However, foes like one-armed bandits and loot midgets will still spawn. If you save and exit after clearing all the chests, you can simply accept 'Defend Slab Tower' once again and clear them out as many times as you like with the same conditions as long as you don't complete the quest.
