A newFallout 4mod brings a full alien invasion to the Commonwealth, complete with UFOs and a variety of alien troops. TheFalloutfranchise is known for containing a lot of strange things. From the giant Supermutants created by the radiation of nuclear warfare, to the polite robot butlers like Codsworth that roam around the world ofFallout 4, there are plenty of odd encounters a player can have in their time wandering through the post-apocalypse.
Another strange thing players might notice in theFalloutuniverse is the appearance of aliens. WhileFalloutis a dystopian, post-apocalyptic RPG series, elements of sci-fi are certainly sprinkled into the games, with the Zeta alien race being an example of this.Aliens appeared in the firstFalloutgameand have popped up in the world ever since. Usually, the Zeta alien race doesn’t appear for more than a brief moment, though they have featured in longer parts of a game on occasion.

Now, a modder known as RascalArt is giving players a chance to fight off a full alien invasion inFallout 4. In the vanilla experience of the game, players can find a spaceship and fight one alien. In RascalArt’s mod, which is available now on the Nexus, a whole fleet invades the Commonwealth. The aliens act essentially as their own faction in thisFallout 4mod, fighting the player in random encounters but also facing off against raiders, ghouls, and anything else they deem an enemy to their supreme rule.
Different types of aliens can be seen roaming around the Commonwealth as well, including rocket troopers, cannon fodder known as Froggos, and Zetan Overlords which act as the big bosses of the alien race. This isn’t the first time an invasion from outer space has been brought toFallout, asFallout 76launched an official alien eventwhere players had to defend Appalachia from the extraterrestrials. Also, in terms of more expansive alien content, aFallout 3expansion brought a whole questline dedicated to the Zetas as the player finds themselves on the aliens' mothership.
While the Zetas may never have been the direct focus of aFalloutgame, a lot of fans enjoy their inclusion and eagerly await what the developer will do with them next. ConsideringBethesda’s next projectStarfieldlooks to send players into space, it might be that gamers won’t have to wait untilFallout 5to see the Zetas make their next appearance.
Fallout 4is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
