Fallout 4 Hide Behind Rock Trick: The Best Kept Secret
Recent video discoveries on older games keep this glitch fresh for new players. Streamers are highlighting smart cover use in open worlds again.

Fallout 4 Hide Behind Rock Trick: The Best Kept Secret is essentially a physics exploit letting you press against walls. Items and terrain lock you invisibly in place while enemies pass by. Studies indicate this method reduces visible collision, creating safer early scouting.
