The first ten levels or so are fucking brutal.Īfter building a water pump (because my character was suffering from thirst) in my mostly empty Sanctuary, I picked up some ammo and began to travel to the nearby Red Rocket. This turned out to be true, but with some pretty significant caveats. It was supposed to be the ultimate challenge, a completely different way to play the game. I had already sunk over 50 hours into Fallout 4 before deciding to start fresh on Survival Mode.
