Fallout London's Big Update Finally Nerfs Its Deadly Foxes

Fallout: London is probably not an official Fallout recreation developed and revealed by Bethesda, nevertheless it’s nonetheless proved to be an enormous hit. And the large 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.

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

After an extended wait and a last-minute delay resulting from an enormous Fallout 4 replace, Fallout: London launched without spending a dime 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 optimistic, 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 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 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 enjoying 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 shortly kill you in the event that they present up on the incorrect 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 harm 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 continues to be sufficient that you have to be cautious, however not sufficient to immediate kill you for those who slip off a platform.

These all look like good adjustments 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 complete patch notes for this replace:
