Fallout 4 loading screens

For loading screen overview, see loading screen.

This page is a list of loading screen hints and slides found in Fallout 4. They show snippets of the general information that is found in the stats section under the general tab on the player character's Pip-Boy 3000, along with information regarding the various perks, magazines, creatures, factions, people and locations of the game. It also displays game hints.

Overview[]

In Fallout 4, loading screens consist of a dark brown background with a faint white "test" grid pattern overlaid. The screen will display the 3D model of some in-game object(s), creature(s), or character(s) which slowly rotates. If the player preses X on the Xbox One, square on the PS4, or Q on the PC, the 3D model on display will be highlighted in the color of the player's HUD, and will turn back to the original color(s) if the control is pressed again. Right stick (Xbox One) or clicking and dragging left or right (PC) will rotate the image, left stick (Xbox One) or A and D (PC) will move it, and using the triggers (Xbox One) or clicking and dragging up or down (PC) will zoom in/out.

The loading screen UI is found in the bottom left corner of the screen, listing the player character's level alongside a loading screen hint related to Fallout 4's gameplay and/or lore, which can change several times as the game loads. Each tip has a corresponding 3D model; the 3D model used will always match the first tip shown, but it will not change when the tips change.

Each hint also has a corresponding "VDSG Catalogue No. ####," which identifies the hint as coming from the Vault Dweller's Survival Guide. The four digit number is actually generated by taking the last four digits from the Form ID of the loading screen tip when it is converted from hexadecimal to decimal.
