Fallout 4 has a hidden loading screen trick we all missed
The saying “every day is a school day” always rings true with games like Fallout 4.
Even though Fallout 4 is almost a decade old (it turns 10 in November of this year), players are still finding details and/or secrets we previously missed.
Considering how “baffled” fans are due to a recent Fallout 5 update, they need as many distractions as they can find to take their mind off the agonising wait ahead.
You really need to know this before starting Fallout 4

One such in-game feature you may have failed to notice happens when the loading screen appears.
Redditor diamondpanther171 took to r/Fallout to reveal that they discovered this secret after “5,000 hours” of playing.
We’re not sure if that’s a comical exaggeration or whether they’re totally serious. Either way, it’s evident that this feature is easily overlooked.
They revealed, “After 5,000 hours, I found out you can change the colour in the loading screen.”
We admit this is hardly a game-changing discovery. However, it’s one of those subtle features that further emphasises how much detail Bethesda packed into the game.
It’s also quite funny that the OP is sharing a loading screen tip when the loading screens typically tell you useful in-game tricks to remember.
As PolyZex jokingly asked, “Is this a loading screen tip for loading screen tips?”
Even though it’s unlikely you’ll be rushing to play another game of Fallout 4 just to see this secret in action, it’s a nifty feature worth knowing.
Momentarily moving away from the franchise, the post-apocalyptic genre will soon be expanded upon once more thanks to a spirit successor to Fallout.
Fans are seriously hyped about this new release, so you’d be wise to check it out if you haven’t done so already.
Whether it’s something within Fallout’s universe or a detail inspired by it, Bethesda’s franchise still has new details to impress us with.
