Highlights
Obtaining the Perfectly Preserved Pie in Fallout 4 is a time-consuming task, taking over 1200 hours of gameplay for one player.
The drop rate of the pie from the Port-A-Diner machine is affected by the number of times players try and their Luck stat. Although there are other methods to guarantee getting the pie, most players still choose to rely on the game's loot system, despite the slim chances.
A Fallout 4 player spent more than 1200 hours trying to obtain the rarest item in the game, the Perfectly Preserved Pie. This item can only be obtained through the Port-A-Diner machine, and players either have to get lucky, repeatedly use the machine, or try their luck occasionally. While there are rare weapons in the game, getting the Perfectly Preserved Pie is seen more as a symbol of status or an accomplishment for Fallout 4 fans.
The Port-A-Diner machine has intrigued Fallout 4 players for a while and operates using mechanics similar to Genshin Impact's Gacha system to determine the drop rate of the Perfectly Preserved Pie. This system takes into account the number of player attempts and incorporates a "pity system" that scales with the Luck stat in Fallout 4. Depending on a player's Luck stat, it takes between 109 and 140 attempts to guarantee a 95.5% chance of obtaining the Perfectly Preserved Pie. The reason why this item holds such a reputation in the Fallout 4 community is because some players are unaware of its pity system.
While the exact number of attempts is uncertain for ReddsionThing, they have apparently dedicated over a thousand hours to playing Fallout 4 before finally acquiring a slice of Perfectly Preserved Pie. Interestingly, there is an alternative method to guarantee the pie's availability, which involves exploring the Nuka-World DLC for Fallout 4. In Nuka-World, the Port-A-Diner machine consistently dispenses a Perfectly Preserved Pie. While this approach slightly diminishes the pie's allure, it aligns with the thematic essence of Nuka-World within the larger Fallout universe.
Having said that, the simplest way for players to obtain a Perfectly Preserved Pie is by utilizing console commands in Fallout 4 on PC and entering the code "player.additem 1A6396." However, many fans prefer to engage with the game's traditional loot system, even though the initial odds of acquiring the Perfectly Preserved Pie are a mere 2%.
Though there are similarities between Starfield and Fallout, dedicated players still continue to immerse themselves in the captivating slice of post-apocalyptic Americana that Bethesda has developed over the years with Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. While it may be some time before Fallout 5 is released, as the developers are currently focused on creating the next Elder Scrolls game, fans can at least look forward to the upcoming Fallout television show.
