Fallout: London might not be an official Fallout sport developed and revealed by Bethesda, however it’s nonetheless proved to be an enormous hit. And the huge free mod, launched final month, simply acquired its first main replace, which fixes some issues and nerfs the lethal fox packs working round post-apocalyptic London.
After an extended wait and a last-minute delay attributable to an enormous Fallout 4 replace, Fallout: London launched without cost on July 25. The “sport” is technically a free, fan-created mod for Fallout 4 on PC, however it feels extra like a brand new sport from Bethesda. And whereas reception to Fallout: London has been typically optimistic, there have been complaints about sport crashes and annoying bugs. However a newly launched replace ought to assist stabilize the mod.
On August 9, Good Previous Video games, which is working with the modders to distribute Fallout: London, confirmed in a press launch that the sport’s first large replace was now stay. It additionally confirmed that 500,000+ copies of the mod have been downloaded within the first 24 hours.
One factor I instantly seen within the prolonged patch notes is that foxes have been barely nerfed on this replace. That is good information for the numerous, many gamers who’ve complained about being attacked and killed by these furry little bastards whereas taking part in Fallout: London.
Some followers had began to joke they have been worse than the collection’ infamous Deathclaws. I’d not go that far, however a pack of foxes can rapidly kill you in the event that they present up on the unsuitable time, like after a battle or when you find yourself low on ammo.
One other optimistic change is the discount in how a lot rad injury you get per second when swimming round within the sport’s water. Beforehand it was an extremely excessive 250 rads a second, which principally meant you’d be useless any time you slipped into water. Now, London’s water solely inflicts 169 rads a second, which continues to be sufficient that you have to be cautious, however not sufficient to on the spot kill you should you slip off a platform.
These all appear to be good modifications to me and I’m excited to leap again into Fallout: London quickly. Hopefully, it’s going to cease crashing on me, too. Listed below are the complete patch notes for this replace:
