My Personal Experience
When I first started playing Fallout 4, I focused mainly on the main quest and side quests in the Commonwealth. It wasn’t until I reached level 30 that I decided to try out the DLC content. I started with Automatron, since I was curious about the robot building aspect. I found it to be a fun and challenging addition to the game, with some memorable boss fights and unique loot. After finishing Automatron, I moved on to Far Harbor, which ended up being my favorite DLC pack. The story was engaging and emotional, the environment was beautiful and eerie, and the new weapons and armor were awesome. I then tackled Nuka-World, which was a bit of a letdown for me, as I found the story and characters to be weaker than in Far Harbor. I finished off with the workshop packs, which were enjoyable for their building options, but not as exciting as the other DLC packs.
Expert Opinions
So what do the experts say about the best order to play Fallout 4’s DLC content? Well, it depends on what you’re looking for. Here’s a breakdown of some recommended orders:
Story Order
- Automatron
- Far Harbor
- Nuka-World
This order follows the chronological release of the DLC packs and also puts them in order of increasing difficulty. Automatron introduces the Mechanist villain, who is referenced in Far Harbor. Far Harbor has a more complex story and multiple endings, and also has a connection to Nuka-World through one of its characters. Nuka-World is the most challenging of the three packs and has a more lighthearted tone, as it focuses on the player becoming the leader of raider gangs.
Level Order

- Contraptions Workshop
- Vault-Tec Workshop
- Far Harbor
- Nuka-World
This order takes into account the recommended levels of the DLC packs. Automatron and Far Harbor are recommended for level 15 and above, while Nuka-World is recommended for level 30 and above. The workshop packs have no recommended level and can be played at any time. However, they do offer useful building options that can benefit the player in the other DLC packs.
