While traveling through the many landmarks of the Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor can experience some random encounters. The Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide separates them into eight different types of encounters:
- Static Encounters - "These usually occur in a specific area, which could be anywhere in the Commonwealth."
- Fluid Encounters - "The entities you may encounter are moving, and the location cannot be pinpointed. Expect a higher chance of these occurring if you stay on roads."
- General Encounters - "You can find these encounters almost anywhere in the Commonwealth."
- Campsite Encounters - "Expect these encounters at any campfires you may stumble upon. One example would be just east of Concord, in the small parking lot."
- Choke point Encounters - "Expect the following to occur in areas where you have limited maneuverability, such as a bridge crossing."
- Animosity Encounters - "These encounters occur anywhere and typically involve two factions or enemy types that have particularly strained or nonexistent diplomatic relations with one another."
- Treasure Hunt Encounters - "These follow a similar pattern: you encounter a dead person with a note on their corpse. If you read the note, you're pointed in the direction of a (random) location, and a map marker appears to reveal where a steamer trunk is located."
- Companion Encounters - "Do you have a particular companion by your side? Then expect the following to occur during your time with them."
All encounters are sorted and named by the aforementioned guide.
Static/scene encounters
Deceased Fellow
A note can be found during a random encounter and will be in the inventory of a dead settler or scavenger. After reading the note, the unmarked quest "Pick up the item" will begin and a marker will appear on the Pip-Boy map indicating the cache.
Raiders versus Farmers
Wounded Dog
A non-hostile mongrel or attack dog can be encountered anywhere in the Commonwealth. If the wounded dog is patched up and named, it might appear again to help in a fight.
Mole Rat Ambush
Dead Meat
Wild Pack of Dogs
Gene the Reluctant Dog Vendor
While traversing the wasteland, the Sole Survivor may encounter a man named Gene. He will offer to sell his dog for 250 caps, but is then hesitant. Convincing him to sell the dog will allow it to be sent to a settlement, granting that settlement +5 to Defense. Gene can be encountered multiple times, and a new dog can be purchased from him each time.
Super Mutants and Prisoner
If the super mutants are killed, the freed prisoner will sprint off and, if followed, he will eventually end up in Sanctuary Hills. If talked to, he will only answer with generic NPC dialogue. As a settler, he does not add to the settlement population number and can not be traded with, like normal settlers. He seems to lack the scripting to assign him to jobs like farming or defence. If commanded using the workshop, he will obey but as soon as the workshop is closed, he will run back towards the same fixed spot he stopped at when first reaching Sanctuary Hills.
Deathclaws Duel
There is a chance that two deathclaws will spawn and begin fighting one another until one of their health runs low and the losing deathclaw retreats. Be careful, because once the fight ends, both deathclaws will turn hostile and attack.
Vicious Dogs and Farmer
Travelling Vault Merchant
Raiders and the Pink Paste
While wandering the Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor may come across three dead raiders in what appears to be a failed intervention. On one is a note, in which one unnamed raider attempts to stop their friend Hank from eating food paste, which is making him act more and more harsh and insane. This encounter is repeatable. Upon reading the note, Suffolk County charter school is marked on the map.
You've Got Crabs
The Postman
You find a dead settler wearing a postman uniform. On the settler's body are three random letters. Some reveal locations to explore.
The following is based on unverified behind the scenes information and may be inaccurate. |
This encounter may be a reference to the post-apocalyptic novel The Postman, by David Brin, in which the main character acquires a postman's uniform and begins traveling the former United States posing as a representative of the reformed government.
End of information based on unverified behind the scenes information |
Stingwing versus Radscorpion
Pickman's Prey
There is a card upon these a few dead raiders, and it leads the Sole Survivor to Pickman Gallery.
Vertibird versus Raiders
Vertibird Patrol Drop
Super Mutants Raiding Party
Up to four super mutants (all wielding missile launchers) can be encountered. Upon seeing the Sole Survivor, the super mutants will all start wildly firing their missiles at them with horrible accuracy. The leader of the group carries supermutant's orders.
Roving Eyebot
While wandering the Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor may come across an eyebot who advertises employment opportunities at the Cambridge Polymer Labs. If investigated, this opens up a quest.
Unfriendly Deathclaws
The Return of Manta Man!
The Sole Survivor may encounter a delusional wastelander who calls himself Manta Man, after a comic book character.
- If dressed as the Silver Shroud, he'll refer to the character as such and talks similar to how the Sole Survivor could talk in-character.
Jack is Back
Lorenzo is Undying
Vault 81 Dead Dweller
Mutant Hound versus Yao Guai
Bloated Animal Corpse
Super Mutant versus Stingwings
Feral Ghoul Ambush
Resting Radstags
It is possible to see both radstags hovering in the air resting until you make a noise. Both will then fall from the sky and run off.
Eyebot Advertisement
A wandering eyebot can be found spouting advertisements for prewar companies. This encounter is separate from the "Roving Eyebot" and does not reference Cambridge Polymer labs.
Two Faces, One Synth
The Sole Survivor can come across two men, identical in appearance and both named Art. One Art is a human and the other is an identical synth. One Art has the other on his knees and is preparing to execute him with a shotgun. Both Arts will claim to be the real one and state the other is an Institute synth sent to kill the other and take their place. If the Sole Survivor decides not to interfere, the human Art will execute the synth and walk away. A very difficult speech check can convince the kneeling Art to admit to being a synth, at which point he will encourage the Sole Survivor to assist him in killing the real Art. A simple speech check can convince the standing Art to lower his weapon, at which point the kneeling Art will draw a weapon and attack him.
Alternatively, the Sole Survivor can simply attack one of the Arts. The synth Art will have a synth component on their body, indicating whether or not the Sole Survivor has chosen correctly. If the standoff is interrupted, the two Arts will begin shooting at each other, turning the event into normal combat. If the Sole Survivor has the Awareness perk, the synth will have significantly higher resistances compared to Art. Oddly, this encounter is repeatable regardless of the outcome; if the Sole Survivor has previously attacked one of the Arts, that Art will be hostile in all subsequent encounters (as a result, the two Arts will immediately engage in a firefight instead of the normal dialogue).
- In V.A.T.S. both Art's names will always show in green so you cannot use V.A.T.S. to tell them apart.
Two and a half monsters
On the western edge of the map, following the main road west from Mass Pike Interchange, a fight between two deathclaws and a behemoth can be found in a field, near an abandoned storage warehouse and a broken down power station. Getting too close to the fight can place the Sole Survivor in the attention of these giants.
Fluid encounters
Smiling Larry
While walking along a road the Sole Survivor may encounter a trader named Smiling Larry who, when interacted with, will sell some items. The trader can be recruited if the level 3 Weapons emporium has been unlocked, and more than 30 settlers are in the settlement (includes those living in settlements connected to the one you are sending him to). Once he is assigned to the emporium, he will sell the legendary Ripper, Reckoning.
One of the places Smiling Larry can be encountered is on roads that cross over Doc Weathers' trade route, as well as the railroad tracks just south of Tenpines Bluff (pictured at right.) Also, the east-west Bering road just north of Drumlin Diner is a Fluid random encounter spot.
Mister Gutsy
The Sole Survivor may encounter a Mr. Gutsy attempting to enforce an identity check by Provisional Governor Graham. Out of the four dialog options, if you choose anything other than the offensive retort, the Mr. Gutsy will state that you have failed to identify yourself properly and will become hostile. Choosing the offensive retort will confirm your citizenship and he will tell you that if you happen to come across any communists to report them immediately. He will then leave the area.
Workshop Armor Vendor
Another Level 4 merchant, The Scribe, who you can send to one of your settlements. Like Larry, you will have to stick to the roads to spot him, but unlike other settlers you might come across, he is easy to spot since he wears a BOS uniform. To recruit him, you need at least 10 settlers in a settlement & a level 3 armor emporium.
"Preston Garvey"
While wandering, the Sole Survivor may come across a smooth talking man claiming to be Preston Garvey. He will request a donation of 100 caps for the Minutemen. If the Sole Survivor tells the impostor that they know Preston, or that they are the general of the Minutemen, the impostor will run away.
Escaped Synth
If the Institute is still active and the Railroad quest Boston After Dark has not been completed, the Sole Survivor may spot a male synth, Timothy, who is wearing an Institute jumper. He will ask the Sole Survivor to provide him the location of Bunker Hill. Should the Sole Survivor previously have visited Bunker Hill, they have the option to point him in the right direction, or ask for caps.
A Girl and Her Robot
While wandering, the Sole Survivor may come across a little girl, Kat, and her sentry bot guardian, Gus. She can be found at various locations; one of the places to find her early on in the game and the nearest place to Sanctuary Hills is the east-west orientated road just north of Drumlin Diner. Although the east-west orientated railroad tracks south of Tenpines is possible but less likely due to the need to have already done the Minutemen quest of Taking Point at Tenpines Bluff, which involves having completed the assignment of killing the head commanding raider and escaping. However, at the Drumlin Diner location, all is needed to complete the Sanctuary quest then following Trashcan Carla to the Drumlin Diner and then completing the Order Up quest.
Her robot Gus is capable of basic defense as well basic offense against some of the local monsters and enemies. Gus is able to kill all three of the ghouls that are right next to the Gorski cabin without any help from the Sole Survivor if they are aggravated and led over to Kat and her robot. The robot is also capable of killing the raiders that sometimes randomly spawn once a week in front of the Drumlin Diner during their route to Drumlin Diner as well. Although Kat and her sentry bot are relatively safe on the route to Drumlin Diner, their route near Tenpines Bluff is more dangerous due to a higher chance of a random super mutant encounter.
Runaway Settler
The settler may or may not be under attack, but once the settler is safe, the player character can assign the settler to a settlement. A possible location where this spawn may transpire is the bridge on top of the coastal hideout, where several settlers may be found running from a group of raiders. Whether any settlers survive depends on the player character's actions.
Moonshiner
The Sole Survivor will hear an explosion in a nearby shack. Inside they will find a chemistry station with several bottles of alcohol on it and a dead moonshiner. This is a possible reference to the "Exploding Scientist" random encounter in Fallout 3.
Malfunctioning Robots
The Sole Survivor can sometimes happen across a few Assaultrons spouting random nonsense. Upon noticing the Sole Survivor, they will all charge, screaming, "WHAT A PRETTY BOY".
Named Feral Ghouls
The Sole Survivor can sometimes stumble across a pack of named feral ghouls. Their names are Mr. Donoghue, Mrs. Donoghue, Mr. Sumner, Mrs. Sumner, Mr. Parker, Mrs. Parker, Rosa and Rosa's son. These are all the names of the Sole Survivor's neighbors in pre-War Sanctuary Hills. Strangely, this is a repeatable encounter and can be seen many times, even if the ghouls have been killed.
Duke
A member of the Atom Cats wearing a full suit of power armor will be scouring a wrecked car for parts. If spoken to, he will helpfully mark the Atom Cats garage on the Sole Survivor's map, then walk off. In addition, if you are able to pickpocket his fusion core, he will exit the power armor and walk off, and you can take the armor after he walks out of range.
Kelly and her Brahmin
A woman named Kelly can be found traveling the wasteland with a brahmin. She will offer to sell the brahmin for 100 caps. It can be sent to a settlement to improve the efficiency of farming at that settlement. If asked whether the brahmin is stolen, Kelly will become evasive, with her tone ambiguous as to whether she's feeling guilty or merely thinks it's a stupid question.
The brahmin may be a synth once sent to a settlement. Once it has caused trouble and been killed a synth component can be found on its body.
Additionally, the brahmin may drop dead a few seconds after sending it to a settlement.
Mine-rats
Upon exploring the Commonwealth, the Sole Survivor may run into a small pack of mole rats, one of which has a few fragmentation mines strapped to its back. As evidenced by the mines, these mole rats may have come from Kendall Parking.
Gassy Settler
An unnamed settler is found in random locations in the Commonwealth using a cooking station during the encounter. As the Sole Survivor approaches, they are warned not to come any closer. Upon further questioning the settler will announce that they are gassy from eating some bad cans of meat they got from a man named Lukowski, and will mark the location Longneck Lukowski's Cannery on the Sole Survivor's Pip-Boy.
Vault 81 Prisoner
A Vault 81 prisoner can be encountered in the wasteland being held by 2 raiders. Freeing the prisoner will mark the location of Vault 81 on the Sole Survivor's Pip-Boy. You will also get the miscellaneous quest to investigate Vault 81. When talking to the freed prisoner they will state that they should never have left the vault and that they would never go out on exploring missions again.
Settlers in Trouble
One may come across three or four settlers fighting a group of hostiles (most likely raiders). If the Sole Survivor assists and keeps them from being killed, the survivors will join you and you may send them to any settlement you choose.
Settlers recruited from this event act oddly. If reassigned to a different settlement, they may still be involved in radiant quests from the original settlement, hiking back so they can be talked to, to pick up the quest. If one or more of the settlers are killed during the encounter but the remaining settlers are recruited, the dead settlers are also treated as having been recruited, and a radiant quest may require speaking to the dead settler.
One may encounter Children of Atom fighting a few Gunners. The Children of Atom will be using gamma guns.
Bobbi's Recruiter
A non-hostile Triggerman will appear asking if you would be interested in making some "scratch" by taking on a job. When questioned about the job the Triggerman will reply that any questions are to be directed to Bobbi No-Nose in Goodneighbor. Your map will then be updated with the Goodneighbor location and a miscellaneous quest to talk to Bobbi No-Nose.
Three Albino Radstags
The Sole Survivor may encounter three albino radstags marching down a road. One of these locations is outside Med-Tek Research.
Gruel, the raider chef
One meets Gruel, a hostile raider chef. He carries Gruel's list.
BOS patrol vs raiders
One meets a hostile Skrap Rat and her group of scavengers.
Wattz Electronics Barker
One meets a protectron holding a Wattz flyer note.

General/object encounters
The Locked Fridge
The Sole Survivor may encounter a scavenger attempting to open a novice-locked refrigerator. If approached, they will become hostile. Inside the refrigerator is a random gun, some caps, and matching ammo. This is possibly a reference to an identical encounter in Fallout 3.
With the Intimidation perk, it is possible to pacify the scavenger, open the refrigerator and leave. Once far enough away, he will take the gun from the fridge and will use it if approached again. However, this seems related to the AI always picking nearby weapons, as he will not leave and act as if it's still locked, additionally, any caps inside will remain there.
The Hatch
The Sole Survivor may encounter a hatch and a scavenger in the wasteland. Upon talking to the scavenger, he will state that the hatch is "his." Putting the cursor on the hatch will prompt "detonate," and doing so will result in a mini nuke-like explosion, after which the player character can enter the bunker to find a skeleton and some minor loot in what seems to be a collapsed fallout shelter.
Alternatively, the Sole Survivor can wait for the scavenger to detonate the hatch. After which, the scavenger will excitedly shout that it worked and enter the shelter. He will become hostile if the player character follows him into the bunker.
This is also a reference to Locke blowing the door off of "the Hatch" in "Exodus, Part 2," an episode of the TV series Lost.
Thirsty Guy
The Sole Survivor may encounter a settler kneeling by the side of the road. If talked to, they will claim they are tired and ask for water. If the Sole Survivor is currently carrying any purified water, they may offer it to the settler. They will thank them, and if talked to again, will say that they just need to rest for a bit longer before moving on. There is no option to send them to an owned settlement after giving them the water.
Poisoned Gal
Similar to the water beggar, the Sole Survivor may encounter a woman who claims to be dying from radiation and asks for RadAway. It's even possible for this woman to be generated as a ghoul, who are supposed to be immune to radiation. If you give her some, she thanks you and says she needs to rest before continuing. There is no further option for interaction. If one returns to the location at a later date she will be smashed by a safe.
- If you refuse to give RadAway to the woman and return later, she will be replaced with a dead ghoul.
Safe Landing
One can sometimes come across a locked chest (from novice to master) in a small crater, suggesting it was thrown away by a powerful explosion or dropped from the sky.
Vault-Tec Van
The Sole Survivor can find a fairly unique van in a quite good shape, but empty. On its right side is a skeleton in rags and a torn note that reads: "M. Henderson. I hate to remind you again, but you failed to meet your quota last month. We still have spots to fill in Vault 95 and you have not been pulling" The rest is torn and the other side reads: "...are making people uncomfortable. This is your last warning. If you don't reach your target this month, you're out. Ralph Jones." Part of the signature is torn, but the last part reads: "... Manager, Vault-Tec"
Commonwealth Funeral
Occasionally, the Sole Survivor will witness a preacher and three settlers gathered around a fourth buried settler. Upon approaching, the preacher will say a short eulogy, followed by the settlers. First (male) one mourns a good friend, second (female) one mourns the person she loved, third (male) one declares it's not fair, that he is "the asshole of the group" and should have "bitten it" in his place. Then follow a few more words from the others.
- None of the four can be talked to, they just answer with the generic greeting for dialogue-less NPCs.
- The preacher wears the Pastor's vestments.
Mac's Bar
Occasionally, the Sole Survivor may find a bar set up in random places which belongs to a man named Mac. The Sole Survivor can purchase drinks and initiate a conversation with him about the bar location.
Brahmin Corpse with Mines
The body of a brahmin with three mines.
Junked Car with Ambush Feral Ghouls
A yellow colored sports car Rocket 69 with two feral ghouls waiting in an ambush.
Greaser taking parts from a car
Duke is one of the Atom Cats. He can give the coordinates to their garage.
Radioactive barrels
A few radioactive barrels.
Brahmin Corpse & Vermin
Two bloodbugs sitting on the body of a dead brahmin, sucking his blood, or two bloodbugs soaring above the body, or three bloodbugs over the body of a radstag. When the Survivor approaches them, they take off from the dead body and attack the protagonist.
Pile of Burning Tires
A large pile of burning tires. Caution, flammable.
Simple Minefield
Several frag mines, compactly lying and which can be neutralized.
Vertibird on ground vs. Gunners
The Sole Survivor, after the arrival of the airship Prydwen in the Commonwealth, can detect in a random location level three Gunners opposing level four members of the Brotherhood of Steel.
Radioactive barrel + giant glowing frenzied creature
A frenzied glowing creature, found near radioactive barrels.
Campsite encounters
NOTE: Some Campsite encounters only occur at night.
The Walking Wounded
The Sole Survivor may encounter another level 4 workshop trader called Doc Anderson having just patched up a settler.
That's Not a Sandwich
The Sole Survivor may encounter two men, Mikey and Moss, debating what the definition of a sandwich is. This is a long-standing debate in epistemology.
The following is based on unverified behind the scenes information and may be inaccurate. |
This may also be a reference to the decision of the Massachusetts Superior Court White City Shopping Ctr., LP v. PR Rests. LLC, 21 Mass. L. Rep. 565 (Mass. Super. Ct. 200), where the court ruled that a sandwich consisted of at least two slices of bread, and therefore "under this definition, this court finds that the term 'sandwich' is not commonly understood to include burritos, tacos, and quesadillas, which are typically made with a single tortilla and stuffed with a choice filling of meat, rice, and beans".
End of information based on unverified behind the scenes information |
Daddy and Daughter
The Sole Survivor may encounter a man named Clinton and his daughter Charlie talking about a variety of topics. These topics can vary from the duo getting a dog, the death of his wife, and if Charlie can sleep with a light on that night.
Runaway Synth Camp
The Sole Survivor may happen upon a man, Fred, and a woman, Angie, holding a third man and self-admitted synth, Jules, at gunpoint. Jules claims he ran away from the Institute and only wants to get to Bunker Hill. The Sole Survivor has four choices on how to resolve the issue. Saving him using any of the three possible medium speech checks results in him fleeing away in gratitude. This encounter does not add Bunker Hill's icon to the Pip-Boy map, but if you catch up to Jules after saving him and talk to him twice, he'll give you a variable, but small, amount of caps.
- If coming upon on this encounter with Jules already dead, Fred and Angie will be hostile to the Sole Survivor.
- The quest The Nuclear Option must not be completed.
Stash and Lexa Dead

Chokepoint encounters
None Shall Pass!
A trio of Gunners/Raiders will approach the Sole Survivor and demand a "toll fee" of either 100, 250, 500, 1000, or 2000 caps. Saving just before they talk to you and reloading can result in a different start price of those three. Refusing to pay up or sprinting past them will cause the Raiders/Gunners to turn hostile and attack. The Sole Survivor can use persuasion to attempt to lower the toll fee.
Starting at 2000, you can persuade them down to 1,000, 500 and 400.
Starting at 1000, you can persuade them down to 500, 400 and 350.
Starting at 500, you can persuade them down to 400, 350 and 250.
Starting at 250, you can persuade them down to 200, 150 and 100.
Starting at 100, you can persuade them down to 75, 50 and also let you go for free by the Raider saying "God, You know what? Just go already. This ain't worth my time" (after letting you go for free, the three raiders will remain neutral).
As the Raiders/Gunners will follow the Sole Survivor in order to speak to them, they can be lured into an ambush with nearby monsters or other hostiles. If you have enough luck, you get the option to "fake it" and the Raider (or Gunner) will take whatever caps you claim to have.
Mr. Gutsy's Curfew
The Sole Survivor may encounter a Mr. Gutsy attempting to enforce a mandatory curfew created by Provisional Governor Graham. If the Sole Survivor agrees to return home but remains in the area, the Mr. Gutsy will become hostile, stating that you have broken curfew. If one persuades him by claiming to be on military business, the Mr. Gutsy will state you are 60% confident and let the Sole Survivor pass. Also, if you have luck 7 or more, you get an additional option labeled:"Will you comply" by repeating the "Will you comply?" phrase enough times, he will be forced to initiate a self-destruct sequence due to looping error, or he will simply attack.
Raiders Accosting Farmers
A group of three raiders can be seen trying to shake down a pair of farmers for money. After some back and forth between the two groups in which the farmers state they have nothing of value, the raiders will decide to just kill the farmers and turn hostile. If the Sole Survivor kills the raiders and saves the farmers, they will thank the Sole Survivor. If the Sole Survivor approaches too closely while the raiders and farmers are talking, the raiders will immediately turn hostile and attack.
Synth Relay Choke Point
Kicked out of the Institute? You may get attacked by teleporting synths and a Courser while you are near a chokepoint.
Nervous Farmers
Choke Point Mines
At various locations, one will sometimes find a group of seven live fragmentation mines.

A violent fight occurs between the Children of Atom and the Gunners that you can simply spectate.
Brotherhood Soldiers/Vertibird Fighting Enemies
Once the Brotherhood arrives in the Commonwealth, you may notice a Brotherhood of Steel Vertibird flying around and suddenly land to drop off forces. The forces dropped off are either field scribes or Brotherhood of Steel knights in T-60 power armor. Often they will come into conflict with raiders, super mutants, deathclaws, or even gunners. You can assist in the fighting or let it go on and let them fight each other. The same can happen with a random patrol you find wandering the wastes. Note: attacking the field scribes will have another pair of Knights in T-60 power armor drop off at your location to defend them.
Minutemen vs Enemy
You will need to be allied with the Minutemen, after which you will see some of them defending a settlement or a specific area against a number of enemies from a certain faction. However, you can only encounter the Minutemen fighting the members of a major faction if the faction attacking is enemies with you.
If the Minutemen were successful defending the area, they will remain in the vicinity, until the Sole Survivor leaves. If engaged in dialogue, any of the members may respond with comments referring to the Sole Survivor's rank of general.
- "Nothing new to report, General"; "All quiet, General"; "Area secured, General".
- "This site's in good hands"; "This site belongs to the Minutemen"; "Got the area covered".
Super Mutants versus Ghouls
Scavengers versus Robots
Just a bunch of scavengers fighting a losing battle against a few Protectrons with maybe a Mr. Gutsy, who is yelling patriotic insults. If you fire a shot near any of the scavengers or robots, they will turn hostile and attack you.
