Fallout 4 makes up for a disappointing next-gen update with the RPG's goofiest weapons yet: fiery baseballs, explosive piggybanks, and more

Fallout 4's new next-gen update has been met with a collective shoulder shrug as the long-awaited upgrade is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历💟史查询:a lot smaller than🃏 fans were hoping for, but Bethesda sort of makes 🍌up for it by add💦ing in some of the RPG's absolute silliest weapons yet. 

Over two years after the update's reveal, Bethesda finally dropped both the upgrade and relatively short that mention a "Makeshift Weapons Pack," which includes two grenade launchers, a nail gun, a baseball l🅘auncher, a sawblade launcher, and a piggybank launcher. Yes, actual piggybanks, stuffed with explosives rather than spare bottle caps this ti💟me.

Shooting booming piggybanks at hordes of radioactive critters is obviously a riot, as is augmenting these new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 4 weapons. Silenced grenade launchers? Electric nail guns? Flamin⭕g baseballs? All solid choices. But it's the base baseball launcher that has w🌊asteland survivors enamored. 

Fallout 4 players have been sharing videos - like the one embedded above - to ൲celebrate the baseball launcher's sil🥂ly concept and even sillier effect on the wasteland's sandbox. Sure, the baseball launcher puts MLB pros to shame by launching killer balls at furious speeds, but it also sends most foes into a zig-zagging ragdoll state, which is an even bigger perk in my eyes.  

Bethesda chose the perfect time to introduce more physics mayhem into its post-apocalyptic open world since the Fallout TV show has catapulted the popularity of every game in 🌳the series. Nexus Mods, the website that hosts countless mods, even ran into some trouble when Fallout contributed to new peaks of "24 million꧃ to🌺tal file downloads a day."

Two Fallout 4 endings might have been canonized thanks to the Fallout TV show’s Brotherhood of Steel appearance.
