Craig the Halo Infinite Brute is now playable thanks to Fallout 4 mod

Following that Halo Infinite gameplay trailer shown at the recent Xbox Games Showcase, 'Craig the Brute' has become a beloved and highly meme-worthy member of the FPS games series' universe. You know the one - the "deadpan" Brute from spotted in the clip, which the Halo community has lovingly named Craig and shoehorned into all kinds of funny scenarios. Now, he's even playable - kind of. That's thanks to a new Fallout 4 mod crafted in Craig's honour.

The aptly named 'Craig from Halo Infinite' mod created by HeroicPie and AbiSV draws from a Craig character model resource, which you can check out at Sketchfab here, and, as you can see, that's definitely him. The glum, grey face, those amber eyes - it's definitely Craig, though you'll have to peer a little closely at the images uploaded to the mod's page, as the now-famous Brute's face is slightly obscured by a jacket hood.

According to the accompanying details, the mod adds Craig as a Helmet, so it looks like he's not a permanent character model for your Fallout 4 survivor, as such, but a persona you'll be able to adopt as and when you like.

This Fallout 4 mod makes The Commonwealth look like Red Dead Redemption 2

Fallout 4 boasts a pretty hefty and impressive open world as-is, but if you're keen to give it an overhaul in the style of another of the open-world games genre's big hitters, a new mod might be just your cup of tea. Or moonshine, for that matter. A brand-new texture overhaul mod for Bethesda's 2015 RPG turns The Commonwealth into a "vibrant imaginary desert environment" reminiscent of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Delicious Vegetable's 'Badlands 2' Fallout 4 mod - a follow-up creation to a previous re-texture mod - overhauls the RPG game's post-apocalyptic environments and landscapes to create: "Sandy wastes, windswept canyons, short grass prairie, dry woodlands, dunes, dust, and whole lotta nostalgia. Spurs that jingle jangle jingle not included".

As you can see in images posted on the mod's page, The Commonwealth looks transformed, with scenes reminiscent of RDR2's forest areas near Strawberry, dusty, sun-baked plains peppered with cacti like the western game's New Austin area, and prairies with waves of wildflowers, akin to Red Dead's Ambarino region.

This Fallout 4 mod turns the game into Westworld

Like the sci-fi series Westworld, Fallout 4 is set in a dystopian, technologically advanced version of America, and similarly features an organisation that can create 'synths' - though there are a few more 'rads', Nuka-Cola bottles, and mutant monsters knocking about. And Dogmeat, of course. Now, a Fallout 4 fan has brought the two worlds together with a new mod that turns the RPG game's concluding portion into Westworld.

YouTuber Toro Montana - who has previously created mods for Bethesda's 2015 action-RPG that turn Preston Garvey into a giant mutant and turn the Commonwealth's clock forward nine years, for example - has posted footage of the project, titled 'Let's Turn Fallout 4 Into Westworld'. It's a preview of a "synthetic reality mod", and hinges on a few simple questions: "What if Fallout 4 was more like Westworld? What if the sole survivor was a Gen-4 synth? What if Father's agenda was a lot more similar to Ford's agenda?"

It seems the mod lets you step into the shoes of a Gen-4 synth, and embark on a quest suitably titled 'In here we were gods' to "discover your true nature".

This Fallout 4 mod turns The Commonwealth into a dense Skyrim-like forest

If you've played Fallout 4, you'll know its setting is pretty different to the one you'll see in Bethesda's other RPG behemoth, Skyrim. Where The Elder Scrolls V is all about forests, fauna, and colossal mountains full of shouty monks, Fallout 4's Commonwealth is a post-apocalyptic wasteland littered with wreckages and Nuka-Cola bottles. However, if you'd like to bring the two a little closer together, a new Fallout 4 mod might be just the thing - it turns the RPG game's map into a "dense and overgrown forest landscape".

The mod - simply titled 'A Forest' and created by Oynlen and DeathByKitty - adds trees, grass, and plants to Fallout 4's Commonwealth, using "two separate frameworks combined for a very dense population of trees". The mod brings together a bunch of different creators' models and previous works, and has been "balanced with visuals". From the images shared on the mod page, the result is very pretty.

The good news is the mod won't get in the way of immersion, either - "grass density has been restricted to places it should be seen naturally, so no grass should be seen growing on roads or in buildings", the page says. Sweet.
