Fallout 4: The Truth About Fusion Core Drain (And How to Fix It)
リアクション
2026年08月30日
Are your Fusion Cores draining way too fast in Fallout 4?
Power Armor can burn through Fusion Cores much faster than many players realise — especially depending on how you use Action Points.
In this Fallout 4 guide, I explain how Fusion Core drain actually works and what you can do to make your supply last longer.
We'll cover:
• Why sprinting drains your Fusion Cores faster
• How using VATS affects Fusion Core usage
• Why Jet Packs can burn through your cores
• Whether Nuclear Physicist is actually worth taking
• When you should get out of your Power Armor
• Why partially used Fusion Cores are still useful
• Reliable ways to find and maintain a supply of Fusion Cores
• How to use Power Armor without constantly worrying about running out of power
I also answer a viewer question from @brunoethier896 in this episode's Questions from the Wasteland.
If you regularly use Power Armor in Fallout 4, a few small changes to how you play can make your Fusion Cores last considerably longer.
