What is the best way to level up quickly? PS4

[Zales]

I am currently doing a new "evil" playthrough so that I can get the achievements that I couldn't get with my main one. However, I am so used to being over 80 levels in with cool weapons that I just feel lost in the game.

I have read into some ways to get more levels fast but most of them require/use Idiot Savant, which isn't very useful for someone doing an Intelligence based build.

So, is there any quick and easy way for someone like myself to get levels fast?

Three things I can recommend:
1) Go for High INT + Idiot Savant. 10 INT + Savant is better than 1 INT + Savant

2) For Levels 1-10, you can earn these almost immediately in Sanctuary by using wood:

3) For super mega cheese, there's a dupe glitch you can use in Sanctuary (it will take hours though) for infinite crafting. Confirmed working on PS4 with no console commands:

Thanks you. I had heard a long time ago that 10 Intelligence was better than 1 for Idiot Savant, but I had basically assumed that Bethesda had patched it.

I also have lots of time on my hands, so I'll try out the last one.

Thanks again!

If you get to where BoS show up, you can take the escort quest (Learning Curve) from Quinlan on The Prydwen, then instead of escorting the scribe, you snipe him with a silenced rifle from the Prydwen, report your failure to Quinlan and repeat...
(you still get the reward)

If the calculations on the wiki are accurate, that's only true for rank 1 of Savant, but it's the opposite for rank 2.

In any case, if you're going the high int route, here's some gear to help you:

1. Sharp armor pieces. +5 for the whole set.
2. Road Goggles (you can find them on a body in the first Automatron quest). +1.
3. Ushanka Hat. +1. Doesn't accept ballistic weave but is great until then.

One thing I noticed about the video for number 2, the wire fence doesn't need to be placed in a separate location and can just be continuously layered on the exact same spot without changing perspective or character location. Given enough steel, it is possible to level up to level 262 without ever leaving Sanctuary.

Those above tricks posted work good early on, but Once you get some good enough gear you can use the Death Tunnel Mod to level fast later on in game as well, it has between 1500 - 2000 ghouls in it, it also be a good difficulty stress test for your character setup, don't worry about ammo either, it has shelves of it in checkpoint areas, keep an eye out for it.

The fair way would be to get on one faction main base and grab all quests do all 2-3 and return that is around 1/4 to 1/2 level
