In the post-apocalyptic\u00a0Commonwealth\u00a0wasteland, you come across hundreds of different threats. Some higher-level enemies only appear at night, though, while others surface during the day. Waiting has always been a default option in\u00a0Fallout\u00a0games, and in\u00a0Fallout 4, it's also available. But it's a bit\u00a0tricky\u00a0compared to previous games. How to pass time in Fallout 4 To wait in Fallout 4, sit at any chair or bench and press T (on PCs) or the prompted button on consoles to select the number of hours you want to pass. However, when enemies are nearby, you can't wait, so make sure you're in a relatively safe place before passing the time. Once you wait, the time of day will change, which is sometimes required to access a few quests. In previous\u00a0Fallout\u00a0games, players could wait whenever and wherever they wanted by\u00a0simply\u00a0pressing an appropriate button on their PCs or consoles. That is why new players in\u00a0Fallout 4\u00a0are surprised by the lack of this ability in this game. There is another way of waiting, which is actually \"better\" than just sitting in a chair\u2014sleeping in bed. When you lie down in a bed, you can select a specific number of hours you want to sleep. Afterward, you get the \"Well Rested\" temporary perk, which increases the experience you gain by 10 percent. Beds are usually found in settlements and towns, however, so this option isn't always available.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fallout-4-sanctuary-npcs.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1207268"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2025"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1207268"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1207268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1207428,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1207268\/revisions\/1207428"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1201301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1207268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1207268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1207268"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1207268"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1207268"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1207268"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1207268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
