Another Mod Creator Has Made a Joke Fallout 76 Mod Featuring Mic Screaming
Just one week after a mod creator released a Fallout 76 mod for Fallout 4 parodying Fallout the upcoming title, another creator has done the same for Fallout: New Vegas. Entitled “The Fallout 76 Experience”; this mod takes a slightly different direction than the last. However, it’s still as horrendous as you might expect.
“The Fallout 76 Experience”
Last week, a mod creator released “Fallout 4-76“; a Fallout 76 mod for Fallout 4. Absurd from the outset, the mod parodied the upcoming title to play on gamers’ worst fears for the inclusion of multiplayer; randomized “griefer” enemies, loot-box notification messages, and frequent rains of nuclear missiles. All in all, the mod is more meme than playable experience, and the creator of this latest mod is well aware of that.
The mod creator, who goes by “funkySwadling”, recently released “The Fallout 76 Experience” for Fallout: New Vegas. The mod features; “mic spammers, raging squeakers, and zergs,” among other things. When asked about the mod, funkySwadling responded; “Honestly, I didn’t really expect anyone to download this. Just made it for the meme, and so I could make a video. Personally even though I made it, I couldn’t imagine trying to do a playthrough with something like this installed. Amazing seeing all the support this mod has gotten though!”
Fortunately for gamers, Fallout 76’s actual multiplayer shouldn’t look anything like this nightmarish rendition. Both Todd Howard and Pete Hines have offered repeated assurances that the studio is taking the dangers of griefing very seriously. The studio appears to be supporting cooperative play far more than competitive. Player-vs-player combat is based on an opt-in, opt-out challenge system, for example. In fact, gamers could well go hours without encountering anybody else in Fallout 76, as each game world will contain just “dozens” of players, rather than “hundreds”, and the world is roughly four times the size of Fallout 4.
