New Vegas gets Halloween content with killer mask and pumpkin grenades thanks to fan mod

Fallout: New Vegas May not be the first game one thinks of when Halloween approaches, however With this fun new mod the Mojave Wasteland can be transformed into a playground for the spooky season. There is no denying that the Fallout The franchise has its fair share of horror influences; The feral ghouls that roam around the capital wasteland and the terrifying cazadors that plague the perimeter of New Vegas are certainly scary for some fans. After that, the tone and aesthetic of the series are not at all associated with pure terror, so a little helping hand is needed to complete the vision.

Posted to Nexus Mods by creator pyroThe “Halloween Special – Wasteland Psychos and Serial Killers” mod adds some fun features to Fallout: New Vegasincluded Three pumpkin masks, a “serial killer hockey mask” clearly inspired by Jason Voorhees, a Grim Reaper skate, and even pumpkin grenades To terrorize the local NPCs. While the mod itself does not do much to transform New Vegas In a horror-infused nightmare, his best addition will make running around the wasteland scary: some random encounters with “Different psycho and serial killers.“

Everything included in the mod

Perfect for a Halloween replay

While the new masks are perfect for players looking to roam the New Vegas Strip like an unkillable slasher, the random encounters are the truly exciting feature. These villains can be found scattered throughout the desert and will immediately attack the courier when encountered. Fortunately, the mod also provides two new weapons that should make dealing with the assault a little easier: a Grim Reaper Skate with two weapon mods (Skull Remover and Molten Metal) and the aforementioned pumpkin grenades that contain a “fear toxin.“

Several new outfits inspired by Halloween have also been added, each with unique stats to help immerse players in a spooky mood. Everything included in the mod should make Fallout: New Vegas Significantly creepierEspecially for those who want to play as the Strip’s resident Michael Myers or Ghostface. The random serial killer encounters an exciting anxiety in exploration while the new masks and weapons help celebrate the tropes of the season.

Does Fallout make a good Halloween game?

There are probably some better options

Fallout: New Vegas Can be a creepy game at times, but in my opinion, there are better options out there for players looking to celebrate Halloween. Even with the mod, The overall tone and aesthetic of the game never crosses the line into horror. Some appropriate alternatives could be survival-horror games like Silent Hill 2 (The remake is just around the corner), the Resident Evil series, Alien: IsolationAnd Dead by daylight For horror fans who love to scare their friends.
