Summary
It took over 1200 hours for aFallout 4player to obtain the Perfectly Preserved Pie, one of the rarest items in the game. Obtainable exclusively through the Port-A-Diner, the Perfectly Preserved Pie is a consumable fromFallout 4that players either instantly get lucky with, continue to spam the Port-A-Diner machine until it drops, or occasionally try their luck when taking a break from their adventures in the Commonwealth. WhileFallout 4has plenty of rare weaponsfor Sole Survivors to gather, getting their hands on a Perfectly Preserved Pie is more of a status symbol or rite-of-passage, depending on howFallout 4fans look at it.
The Port-A-Diner machine has fascinatedFallout 4players for a long time, and it even uses Gacha-like mechanics similar toGenshin Impactwhen calculating the drop rate for the Perfectly Preserved Pie. Namely, it accounts for player attempts in its drop chance formula, effectively creating a pity system that scales with the Luck stat inFallout 4. Depending on the value of Luck a Sole Survivor may have, it takes between 109 and 140 to guarantee a 95.5% chance of obtaining the Perfectly Preserved Pie, and the reason why this particular item has a reputation in theFallout 4community, is precisely because some players aren’t aware of its pity system.

While the number of attempts is unknown for ReddsionThing, they have seemingly spent over a thousand hours onFallout 4before receiving a slice of Perfectly Preserved Pie. Curiously, there is an alternate way of guaranteeing the pie to drop, but it involves taking a closer look at theNuka-World DLC forFallout 4. The Port-A-Diner machine in Nuka-World always drops a Perfectly Preserved Pie, and while it does take away some of the item’s charm, it fits with the thematic identity that Nuka-World has in the widerFalloutsetting.
That being said, the easiest way for players to obtain a Perfectly Preserved Pie is touse console commands inFallout 4on PC and type player.additem 1A6396. However, most fans prefer to engage with the game’s loot system the old-fashioned way, even if the odds of obtaining the Perfectly Preserved Pie are 2% on the very first pull.
ThoughStarfieldandFalloutare similarin a lot of ways,Fallout 4and Fallout 76 still have plenty of dedicated players immersing themselves in the charming slice of post-apocalyptic Americana that Bethesda developed over the years. It may take a while untilFallout 5releases, as the developers are currently working on the nextElder Scrollsgame, but fans at least have the upcomingFallouttelevision show to look forward to.
