Fallout: London might not be an official Fallout recreation developed and revealed by Bethesda, nevertheless it’s nonetheless proved to be an enormous hit. And the huge free mod, launched final month, simply obtained its first main replace, which fixes some issues and nerfs the lethal fox packs working round post-apocalyptic London.
After a protracted wait and a last-minute delay resulting from an enormous Fallout 4 replace, Fallout: London launched at no cost on July 25. The “recreation” is technically a free, fan-created mod for Fallout 4 on PC, nevertheless it feels extra like a brand new recreation from Bethesda. And whereas reception to Fallout: London has been usually constructive, there have been complaints about recreation 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 massive 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 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 have been worse than the sequence’ 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 improper 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 injury you get per second when swimming round within the recreation’s water. Beforehand it was an extremely excessive 250 rads a second, which mainly meant you’d be lifeless any time you slipped into water. Now, London’s water solely inflicts 169 rads a second, which remains to be sufficient that you have to be cautious, however not sufficient to immediate kill you if you happen to slip off a platform.
These all appear to be good adjustments to me and I’m excited to leap again into Fallout: London quickly. Hopefully, it’ll cease crashing on me, too. Listed below are the total patch notes for this replace:
