Stargazer09 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 So I'm wandering the streets of Boston doing various quests for a few factions that happened to take place in the same vicinity, fighting raiders, gunners, ghouls and what not. Every now and them I get the ding! and I get the xp gained notification - about 10+, 20+ at a time. I'm not in combat, I'm just walking the streets so I'm curious to know what is it that is giving me XP. Could it be a settlement that's currently under attack? Although I did not receive any notification that I need to defend any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawe1x Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Just have to check, but are you sure that you haven't just discovered a new location? That would be the most obvious reason. Alternatively, are you sneaking at the time? If so, it could be that you've successfully avoided detection - I think you get XP sometimes when you successfully sneak past certain sentries/guard posts, even if you're unaware of them.

Dracula420 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 any death due to explosions, fire hazards, indirectly caused damage (like poison or bleeds) or randomness count toward the players exp gain it seems because this happens to me too. so if some raiders and gunners are fighting and one of them throws a molotov, the enemies that die from the fire hazard are all free exp for you if your in the area. this happened to me in FO3 as well on somewhat rarer occasions.

radiumskull Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Happens to me fairly regularly. I've even had quests 'completed' for me by random bad guy activity. Kendall Hospital is a prime place for that, and you'll know why if you've been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahnjd Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) If you have a trade line going between two places, you sometimes will get xp if your caravan is near by. If the caravan kills, you get XP from that kill. It weird me out one time till I started hearing gun fire. When I investigated it was because of a caravan from Hangman to the Castle Edited April 26, 2016 by ahnjd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer09 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks, I think that's it. There was a fight in the distance that I chose not to investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djangoku Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I allways thought this comes from BoS, RR, or MM people that fight around the corner? Most of the time i recognize some free xp, i see a Vertibird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
