To wait in Fallout 4, you need to first find and sit down on a chair, bench, or couch-either one you find in the world or craft yourself. Once your character is sitting, a prompt will appear allowing you to press the wait button (default "T" on PC, "Triangle" on PlayStation, or "Y" on Xbox). After pressing it, you can select how many hours you want to wait, and the game will fast-forward time accordingly

. Key points about waiting in Fallout 4:

• You cannot wait while standing; sitting is required to activate the wait function

• Waiting does not restore your health; to heal, you need to sleep in a bed instead

• You cannot wait if enemies are nearby or if the area is unsafe (e.g., radiation or trespassing)

• In Survival Mode, waiting prevents damage from hunger, thirst, and disease, effectively allowing you to pass time safely until conditions improve

• Waiting is useful for advancing time to when shops open or quests become available

In summary, to wait in Fallout 4, sit on a chair or similar seat, press the wait button when prompted, and choose the duration to pass time quickly in the game world
