The only difference being the button you have to press.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To wait in <em>Fallout 4,<\/em> you must first find a chair or bench, which is a pretty easy task given the vast open world of the Wasteland. You can also craft a chair if you are in one of your strongholds and have the required materials.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once you have located a chair, interact with it using the activate button, and then bring up the rest menu by pressing the correct button when prompted. See below for the instructions as per the platform being used.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To wait in <em>Fallout 4<\/em> on the PlayStation 4, simply approach a chair and press the <strong>X button<\/strong> to interact with it, then press the <strong>Triangle button<\/strong> to rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To wait in <em>Fallout 4<\/em> on the Xbox One, you must press the <strong>A button<\/strong> to sit down on the chair, and then the <strong>Y button<\/strong> to bring up the rest menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If not using a controller for the PC version of <em>Fallout 4<\/em>, press the <strong>E key<\/strong> to interact with a chair or bench, and then press the <strong>Spacebar<\/strong> key to bring up the rest menu.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img alt='some-people-like-to-wait-until-daylight-to-venture-the-wasteland-2011159' src='https:\/\/blogofgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Some-people-like-to-wait-until-daylight-to-venture-the-Wasteland-2011159.png' \/> Some people like to wait until daylight to venture the Wasteland<\/p>\n<p>Waiting in <em>Fallout 4<\/em> has a number of useful functions. Perhaps most importantly, you can wait near a building or store that is only open at specific times. By waiting on a seat near your desired location, you can set the timer to end right as the building will open up again, meaning you don\u2019t have to wander around aimlessly to pass the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Waiting can also be useful if you\u2019ve decided that you don\u2019t want to venture into the Wasteland at night. In this instance, wait until the sun rises before continuing your travels, at least then the nuclear monsters will be less daunting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It can also be beneficial to wait in the Survival Mode in <em>Fallout 4<\/em>, as it can allow for water or food to respawn over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It is not always possible to wait when you want to. If you are near enemies, for example, you will not be allowed to wait and the wait button will not show, even if you are sitting down on a chair.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img alt='find-a-bed-to-rest-in-fallout-4-1665936' src='https:\/\/blogofgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Find-a-bed-to-rest-in-Fallout-4-1665936.png' \/> Find a bed to rest in Fallout 4<\/p>\n<p>Resting in <em>Fallout 4<\/em> is just as easy as waiting. Instead of finding a chair\/bench\/sofa, simply find or construct a bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once you have located a bed, interact with it using the activate button, and then press the correct button to sleep once prompted. Resting will restore your health fully but you will not be able to sleep if there are enemies nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, now you know how to wait in <em>Fallout 4<\/em>. It\u2019s pretty simple really.
