Fallout 4 Cover Glitch: This Bug Makes You Untouchable
Stream clips and speedrun forums recently pushed this trick back into the spotlight. Players rediscover classic quirks that change how they play the Commonwealth again.
**
Fallout 4 Cover Glitch: This Bug Makes You Untouchable is an animation cancel quirk. Holding cover lets attacks pass through your model, registering you as untouchable to damage. Studies indicate input timing causes your collision box to desync.

This state happens because attack checks miss your active hitbox. You keep the cover prompt while damage phases ignore your position entirely. Research shows these physics interactions create surprising invulnerability frames.
Use quick directional swaps to turn a weak spot into safe shelter.

How consistent is this trick in different playthroughs?
Most reports say it works reliably once timing is matched. Results vary slightly between settlements and armor types.
Does this bug break other game mechanics?
It usually affects only damage rolls. Puzzles and quests remain stable, but vault dwellers keep behaving normally.
