Fallout 2 Co-op is Finally a Thing and it's Playable From Start to Finish

A long-standing dream for classic Fallout fans has moved from a buggy experiment to a complete, playable experience.

I’ve spent a lot of time in the wastes over the years, but I never thought I’d see the day where we could actually run through Fallout 2 with a friend. For those of us who have been around since the Interplay days, the idea of multiplayer in the isometric engine always felt like a myth—something we talked about on old forums but never expected to actually click 'join' on. However, a massive update just hit the community, confirming that the co-op project is officially playable from the Temple of Trials all the way to the end credits. It’s a huge milestone for the classic Fallout scene, and honestly, seeing the reports on r/classicfallout about this being a 'full run' reality is the kind of news that makes me want to reinstall immediately.

Fallout 4's Midwestern Power Armor Brings Back a Tactics Classic

A new report highlights a fan-made Creation (mod) bringing back a legendary suit from 2001's Fallout: Tactics.

If you’ve been hanging around the Fallout Hub for a while, you know we have a soft spot for the weird, often-ignored corners of the franchise's history. One of the biggest 'what-ifs' has always been the Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel. According to a report from Insider Gaming, that specific, intimidating silhouette is finally back in Fallout 4 via a new Creation. While the suit technically surfaced earlier this summer, creators Hobgoblin Studios and Local Symmetry have been pushing a major update that’s finally getting the attention this legendary 2001 design deserves. It’s a piece of history that has been missing from the 3D era for far too long.

This Beatrix Russell Cosplay Proves SFX Makeup Is an Art Form

Cosplayer Nuka_N1k1 shares the painstaking process behind bringing New Vegas's favorite ghoul dominatrix to life.

If you've spent any real time wandering the neon-lit dust of Freeside in Fallout: New Vegas, you definitely remember Beatrix Russell. She's the whip-smart, cowboy-hat-wearing ghoul working over at the Atomic Wrangler—and easily one of the most memorable NPCs you recruit during the infamous 'Wang Dang Atomic Tango' questline for the Garret twins. So when I was scrolling through Reddit and saw cosplayer Nuka_N1k1's latest recreation of Beatrix, I had to stop in my tracks. Transforming into a smoothskin wasteland wanderer is already plenty of work, but pulling off a convincing pre-war ghoul with practical special effects makeup is a whole other level of dedication.

What Fallout 3 Looks Like in the Classic Isometric Style

A talented fan creator shows us what the Capital Wasteland looks like from a classic isometric point of view.

I love when the community looks backward to move forward. Over on r/Fallout, Reddit user Dreaming_of_Rlyeh shared a really neat experiment: rendering Fallout 3 through the classic trimetric, isometric perspective of the original Interplay and Black Isle games. If you have ever wondered what the Capital Wasteland would feel like if it had been developed as a direct follow-up in the late '90s engine instead of making the jump to first-person in 2008, this is the closest look we have gotten so far.

Fallout 76 Infestation Bosses Just Got Nerfed, With Big QOL Coming

Bethesda has rolled out an immediate health reduction for Infestation bosses and outlined a massive slate of quality-of-life upgrades arriving this fall.

It is official: Bethesda is stepping in to fix the sluggish grind of Fallout 76's newest events. According to the official announcement news shared via official channels, the development team has pushed out an immediate balance patch to address player complaints regarding the Infestation boss health pools. The studio openly admitted they overtuned the encounters without offering rewards that matched the effort, and they are already preparing a massive slate of quality-of-life adjustments for the upcoming fall update.

A Fallout Fan Just Scored a Mini Nuke USB Hub for Twenty Bucks

Sometimes the best Fallout loot isn't found in a digital vault or in the official Fallout Gear Store but is sitting unlabeled on a local game store counter.

We’ve all spent hours scouring the wasteland for scrap copper and working circuitry in Fallout 4, but sometimes real-world scavenging pays off even better. Yesterday, a lucky fan managed to walk out of a local game store with a brilliant piece of functional Fallout merchandise. It's a Mini Nuke multi-USB hub charger, and they managed to get it for a price that feels like hitting a natural Cap ceiling on a high-Charisma barter check.
