Players have begged for voiced human NPCs since Fallout 76’s tumultuous launch as many felt it was lacking any personality. Wastelanders comes with a new story arch involving settlers and raiders, unique companions like we had in Fallout 4 and branching dialogue systems. Wastelanders is free for all, providing you already own a copy of Fallout 76. For both PC and console players, you should expect a download size of roughly 70GB, so you might want to start marking space. To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
