Fallout: The Frontier is a huge expansion-sized mod for Fallout: New Vegas that has been in the works for years now. It adds a whole new map zone and storyline in New Vegas in the desert of snowy Portland where three new factions are waging war. The big project starts today and it sure sounds like people are excited to play it.
“The Frontier is an open world, similar to the DC desert, with a fully snowed Portland Oregon, with real landmarks and locations,” the creators say. They say the modified expansion takes place in the same period as Fallout: New Vegas itself, so you’ll take your famous courier north to investigate a new conflict.
At the top of Oregon’s desert you will find a group of exiled NCR troops fighting a northern Legion faction and some remaining Brotherhood of Steel refugees. You can see the new free runner above, on which the three faction leaders explain why they are fighting in the snow.
You can find additional details on The Frontier’s website and it’s pretty impressive. The creators say that there are also three great quests and a large part of the quest, which adds boss battles, new enemies, new creatures and additional energy weapons. On top of that, the whole thing includes voice acting, which is always an accomplishment for a big modding project.
You can download Fallout: The Frontier via Nexus Mods or on Steam. However, be patient with the Nexus link. Nexus warned players via their Discord server that ‘regular Friday night traffic and the huge interest in Fallout: The Frontier together really hammers our servers’.
Enjoy the north coast, couriers. Just do not rush everyone at once.
