In Wastelanders update the story is going to revolve around the new NPCs, Settlers and Raiders, who will be rolling into Appalachia.
Lead Designer Ferret Baudoin at Bethesda Game Studios says – “New NPCs are everywhere. You’ll find them along roads or in settlements, and they’ve even taken over quite a few existing locations and made them their own. Players can find NPCs in the greatest concentration around the Forest and Toxic Valley. The more dangerous areas of the map are a challenge for them, just like they are for players.”
Wastelanders brings two new camps for each faction – the Foundation for the Settlers and the Crater for the Raiders. In the new storyline, the players need to choose one of the sides to proceed. Also, Wastelanders is said to contain the ‘Cult of the Mothman.’ We can’t wait to experience the new storyline!
