Revive Character Fallout 4: The Ultimate Guide

In the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4, losing a beloved companion can be heartbreaking. But with the right knowledge and a bit of effort, you can bring your fallen friend back to life. Here's the definitive guide to reviving characters in Fallout 4, leaving no survivor behind.

Conditions for Revival

Status: The character must be in the "Dead" status, not "Essential" or "Non-Essential."
Location: The character's body must be accessible, not buried or unreachable.
Time: The character must be revived within 24 hours of death to prevent their body from despawning.

Methods of Revival

1. Doctor's Bag

• Purchase the "Revive" ability from the Doctor perk tree.
• Approach the character's body and use the "Revive" action.

2. Stimpaks

• Equip a stimpak in one hand and the character's corpse in the other.
• Hold the interact button while aiming at the body to administer the stimpak.

3. Console Commands

• For PC players, open the console (~) and type "resurrect 00012345" (replace with the character's reference ID).
• For Xbox and PlayStation users, this feature is not available.

Restoration of Abilities

Upon revival, characters will retain their current level, stats, and equipment. However, their health and action points will be reduced to low levels. To restore their full abilities:

• Use stimpaks to replenish health.
• Use RadAway to remove any radiation damage.
• Give them food or water to replenish their Action Points.
• Wait for them to rest or recover naturally over time.

Tips and Trick

• Quick-save before attempting to revive a character in case the process fails.
• If the "Revive" option is not available, check that the character meets the conditions for revival.
• Carry multiple stimpaks to ensure a successful revival in case the first one fails.
• If the character has any active quests, they will be re-enabled upon revival.
• Reviving a character will reset their faction reputation to neutral.

Examples of Revived Characters

1. Dogmeat

• The loyal canine companion can be revived using stimpaks or the Doctor's Bag perk.
• Upon revival, Dogmeat will retain his loyalty and abilities as a companion.

2. Codsworth
