The player-character is a Vault dweller in Vault 101 who is forced to flee when the Overseer tries to arrest them in response to their father leaving the Vault. The story picks up thirty years after the setting of Fallout 2 and 200 years after the nuclear war that devastated the games world. I wouldn't be worried about weapon variety in Fallout 4. Fallout 3 was developed by Bethesda Game Studios and released on October 28, 2008.

If this is true for even just 20 of the 'base weapons' mentioned, then there would easily be over 100 different variations unique enough to be called their own kind of weapon. This is great for those who enjoy Fallout 3 and have a JTAG/RGH for offline modding. This will enable you to use the GECK Program to edit and create any data for use with Fallout 3. are all just variants of the laser pistol. This tutorial will teach you how to mod Fallout 3 on your Jtagged/RGH'd Xbox 360 to play PC type Fallout 3 mods. It may be that the Laser Pistol shown in the trailer counts as one base weapon, and the laser rifle, laser shotgun, laser assault rifle, etc. So it seems that Fallout 4 will indeed have less weapons than the other 2 fallout games, however, what a 'base weapon' was wasn't really defined. And keep in mind this is without Gun Runner's Arsenal or any of the DLC. I saw some people complaining about Fallout 4 only having 50 base weapons so I decided to count how many non-DLC weapons there were in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.įor a total of 53 normal weapons and 40 unique variants (which are basically reskins with different stats)įor a total of 106 normal weapons and 41 unique variants.
