A Reddit user claims Fallout 4 ’s new survival mode details were hidden in the game’s files all along. The user shared the alleged survival mode overview they extracted from in-game files on the Fallout subreddit.
Some of the Survival mode changes include updates to combat, navigation, carry weight and more in Fallout 4 . According to the Reddit post , carrying too many items will take a toll on your back and legs. You’ll want to make sure you’re carrying the essentials, or risk injuring your character.
However, the most interesting changes include the addition of sickness and fatigue to Fallout 4 . Your character’s immune system is weaker, making them more susceptible to illness and addiction. Eating uncooked meat or unpurified water will increase your chances of getting an infection. The only way to cure your illness will be to craft antibiotics.
You’ll also have to be aware of what beds you sleep on. Fatigue will chip away at your AP, but resting on a sleeping bag is only a temporary fix. According to the post, you’ll need to find a mattress to reap the benefits of a full night’s sleep.
Bethesda confirmed they were testing the Survival mode when they announced Fallout 4 ’s upcoming DLCs on Feb. 16. The developers teased the update will be “a complete overhaul of Survival Mode that changes how you play the whole game: food, sleep, diseases, danger and more.”
Hopefully, Bethesda will release a Survival mode update with the release of its first DLC, Automatrain, in March. Learn more about the Fallout 4 DLC’s here .
