Players have to spend caps to get to points of interest on the map, and the cost increases the further away they are from their destination. There is a fast travel mechanic, albeit not a free one. "That's the sort of immersive storytelling in the world that's lost if you let players just zip by."įallout 76 isn't devoid of shortcuts. So you go, 'What was going on? Who was living in the dog house?'" said Hines. All you need is Fallout: New Vegas and all of its DLC and you can head to Oregon, drive some cars, and butt heads with the baddies of the new storyline."The problem with vehicles is you go flying past all the cool stuff to find, right? The whole idea is that you're going from A to B, there's a log cabin over here and suddenly next to the log cabin there's a dog house that's got a bunch of complex mathematical equations inside and a periodic table on the back wall of a dog house. The mod drops on Steam, free of charge, in the new year, launching January 2021. Not only does it feature repaired, up-and-running cars, but there are new UI elements that feel right at home with the old Fallout engine, showing off your health and speed. The cars in the trailer even seem to have mounted turrets, meaning you’ll be able to drive down the snowy streets of Portland mowing down all who dare cross your path. Driving around in the snow should be a fun venture, especially considering that the devs have confirmed that enemies will have their own vehicles, whether it’s their on-land ones or their aerial crafts that will be used in dogfights. Its perfect timing for The Frontier as the new landmass that can be explored is the snowy Portland Oregon with recognizable landmarks ready for looting in all their post-apocalyptic beauty. Sure, car mods have existed in the past, but they’ve often been janky and fiddly.

It’s not in the base game – it’s not even in the sequel – but The Frontier has implemented it. However, what seems to have most people excited about this new fan-made expansion is its inclusion of drivable vehicles, something that Fallout fans have been wanting for a long time now.
