Fallout: London will not be an official Fallout sport developed and revealed by Bethesda, but it surely’s nonetheless proved to be an enormous hit. And the large free mod, launched final month, simply obtained its first main replace, which fixes some issues and nerfs the lethal fox packs operating round post-apocalyptic London.
After an extended wait and a last-minute delay as a consequence of an enormous Fallout 4 replace, Fallout: London launched free of charge on July 25. The “sport” is technically a free, fan-created mod for Fallout 4 on PC, but it surely feels extra like a brand new sport from Bethesda. And whereas reception to Fallout: London has been usually constructive, 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On August 9, Good Outdated Video games, which is working with the modders to distribute Fallout: London, confirmed in a press launch that the sport’s first huge replace was now reside. It additionally confirmed that 500,000+ copies of the mod had been downloaded within the first 24 hours.
One factor I instantly observed within the prolonged patch notes is that foxes have been barely nerfed on this replace. That is good information for the various, 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 had been worse than the collection’ infamous Deathclaws. I’d not go that far, however a pack of foxes can shortly kill you in the event that they present up on the fallacious time, like after a struggle or if you find yourself low on ammo.
One other constructive change is the discount in how a lot rad harm 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 lifeless any time you slipped into water. Now, London’s water solely inflicts 169 rads a second, which continues to be sufficient that you need to be cautious, however not sufficient to immediate kill you in case you slip off a platform.
These all look like good modifications to me and I’m excited to leap again into Fallout: London quickly. Hopefully, it is going to cease crashing on me, too. Listed below are the total patch notes for this replace:
