Fallout London’s First Big Update Finally Nerfs Its Deadliest Enemy: Foxes

Fallout: London might not be an official Fallout recreation developed and printed 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.

Why Fallout: New Vegas Is Nonetheless Canon After The TV Present

After an extended wait and a last-minute delay resulting from a giant 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 typically 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 huge replace was now dwell. It additionally confirmed that 500,000+ copies of the mod had 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 enjoying 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 unsuitable time, like after a battle or if you end up 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 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 ought to be cautious, however not sufficient to immediate kill you in case 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 can cease crashing on me, too. Listed below are the complete patch notes for this replace:
