A Fallout 4 Player Spends Over 1200 Hours to Claim the Elusive Perfectly Preserved Pie

In the vast wasteland of Fallout 4, one dedicated player embarked on a 1200-hour quest to acquire the coveted Perfectly Preserved Pie, an incredibly rare in-game item. This unique consumable can only be obtained from the elusive Port-A-Diner machine, making it a coveted status symbol among Fallout 4 enthusiasts.

For those brave enough to test their luck, the Port-A-Diner serves as the sole distributor of this exceptional treat. Gamers either strike gold with an immediate discovery, tirelessly spam the machine until victory, or sporadically try their luck between their adventures in the Commonwealth. While Fallout 4 boasts a plethora of rare weaponry, the Perfectly Preserved Pie is more of a symbolic achievement, a badge of honor for those who undertake the challenge.

The enigmatic Port-A-Diner machine has intrigued Fallout 4 players for an extended period, employing a drop rate mechanism reminiscent of Gacha-style games like Genshin Impact. It factors in player attempts to calculate the probability of obtaining the Perfectly Preserved Pie, creating a system that offers increasing odds based on the player's Luck stat in the game. Depending on a Sole Survivor's Luck level, it can take anywhere from 109 to 140 attempts to ensure a 95.5% chance of securing the elusive pastry. The element of surprise adds to the allure, as some players remain unaware of this "pity system."

Although the exact number of attempts by the dedicated player "ReddsionThing" remains a mystery, they invested over a thousand hours into Fallout 4 before savoring a slice of the Perfectly Preserved Pie. Interestingly, an alternate method exists for guaranteed success - exploring the Nuka-World DLC for Fallout 4. The Port-A-Diner machine in Nuka-World guarantees a Perfectly Preserved Pie drop, though it may diminish the item's mystique. Nonetheless, this aligns with Nuka-World's thematic identity within the broader Fallout universe.

For those who prefer to play the game as intended, obtaining a Perfectly Preserved Pie through regular means is no easy feat, with a mere 2% chance on the initial attempt. PC players can opt for the easy way out by using console commands with the command "player.additem 1A6396", but most fans cherish the traditional loot system's unpredictability.

As we eagerly await the release of Fallout 5, Bethesda continues to captivate dedicated players in the immersive world of Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, each offering its unique slice of post-apocalyptic Americana. While the next installment remains on the horizon due to Bethesda's focus on The Elder Scrolls, fans can find solace in the anticipation of the upcoming Fallout television series.
