This Fallout 4 mod adds Halo's plasma rifles to the wasteland

Master Chief has been to some desolate places, but he's yet to walk the wasteland of a nuclear disaster. A mod that adds Halo's plasma rifles to Fallout 4 brings that fantasy closer to reality.

Posted on Reddit by creator rukeen2, the work-in-progress add-on looks very faithful to the FPS game original going by the attached gameplay clip. The weapon has the distinctive purple metal sheen, and Halo-riffic pew-pew, as it blasts through some enemies. In the inventory, he switches to the red-and-silver Brute rifle, an addition that's sold some longtime Halo in the replies. The only difference between the two appears to be aesthetic at present.

The mod looks impressive in its current version, but there's more work to be done to get the rifles exactly as they are in the Halo series. Right now, they don't overheat or run out of charge, and the creator asks for help in the top reply to make them do so. Some helpful suggestions underneath might mean we get access to a finished product sooner rather than later - for now we just have this footage and a hope for more.

Horizon Zero Dawn comes to Fallout 4 with this authentic Aloy mod

Some of the best Fallout 4 mods to have popped up in recent months include those that tie - directly or indirectly - into some of the other best PC games out there. Craig the Halo Infinite Brute, Red Redemption 2-like Fallout 4 environments, and a The Last of Us crossover are now possible, thanks to some modders' efforts. Now, in perfect time to celebrate the Horizon Zero Dawn PC release date, a Fallout 4 mod brings in the action-RPG game's hero to The Commonwealth.

The aptly named 'Aloy preset' mod by creator Navy5465 adds HZD's flame-haired warrior protagonist as a preset option when creating your Fallout 4 survivor, and it's an authentic recreation. Along with her green eyes and recognisable facial features, the Fallout 4 Aloy also draws on some existing mods to create her faithfully, including her distinctive garb and windswept hairstyle.

It looks like her signature bow and spear are missing, but not to worry - there are some existing mods out there to scoop up if you're keen to give her the power to take out The Commonwealth's bandits the way she knows how.

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".
