Ammo wtf?

Ammo is hard to get, a good hint is to use close combat weapons on close combat enemies (excludes super-mutant) and long range weapons on things with guns, and if u have no ammo, use a damage and defense enhancing drug to hit them to death... or run!

speed move

if you don't feel like walking across the entire map to get to a quest location, you can go to console (~) and type |movetoqt| You will be instantly teleported to the location of your quest item. If you get teleported into a door or a wall and are stuck, go to console (~) and type |tcl| you will be able to "noclip" through the walls and when you type |tcl| again, you will be able to run around as usual.

Easy Money

You should raise your repair skill between times when you level up, this is because most people go out in the wasteland to look for valuable items, forget it. This is the easy way, when you kill eg a raider or super mutant etc. they will most likely have some kind of weapon, repair them to make a full conditon item and sell it. (I had a full condition laser rifle with a value that must have been over 1000, the value was 999!) Hope this helps you!

how to get inside the jefferson memorial

after the enclave put up the energy shield, you can squirm inside a gap in the forcefield. when you reach the bridge, jump to the right, being careful not to fall, and circle it all around. if you fall halfways, its fine, you can get up if you keep swimming around it. you will notice a part close to the metal stairs in where the forcefield starts, you must jump on top of the converter. then you will see a small gap. you should be able to pass through it. you can go inside the gift shop, into the rotunda, and if you kill colonel autunm, you will see his laser pistol on the floor. its not in his inventory (idk why) pick it up. as long as you dont talk to him, you should be able to leave. before you go out, you can kill the enclave that are standing still past the stairs to your right. to leave the area, just try to get as far from the door as possible, and just open your world map and fast travel anywhere. you now have colonel autums laser pistol witch shoots constantly.
