MAJOR CHANGES Whaaat A new DUST updateTo be used without any sway pistols require 5. Melee weapons are standardized based on size and whether they are bladedblunted. The Fort is integrated THIS IS probably DUSTS FINAL VERSION STAY TUNED FOR DUSTS SUCCESSOR IN FALLOUT 4. Introduction. From the very first time I played Fallout New Vegas, I was disappointed by the atmosphere of the Mojave. Gameplay wise, FNV was a step up from FO3, but the atmosphere was nowhere near as good. The Mojave seemed too. Thats where DUST comes in. What Is DUST DUST is a Post Apocalyptic survival simulator with an emphasis on lore and story. DUST completely overhauls nearly every aspect of the game to better represent an apocalyptic survival horror atmosphere. Combat, weather, perks, loot, enemies, you name it. Some areas have even been visually overhauled. All vanilla NPCs have either been killed or changed beyond all recognition. You will not be able to complete quests or join factions. There is but one quest in DUST. DUST takes place 2. New Vegas. As you explore you will slowly learn the story of DUST, but unlike vanilla Fallout, you are not the main character. You are simply a bystander, and must create your own story. There is one way to win DUST. A true survivor must escape the Mojave. With help from notes and keen observation, one may be able to learn of the exit. Even then, the player will have to go a long way to get out. Requirements v. 1. Dead Money DLC, Honest Hearts DLC, Lonesome Road DLC v. Jira Vmware Appliance View there. Dead Money DLC, Honest Hearts DLC, Lonesome Road DLC, Old World Blues DLC, and Gunrunners Arsenal DLC There is no DLC free version of this mod. Alternative Start mods are no longer required or compatible, apparently. DUST uses its own start. If you have either my. Anything that changes NPCs, anything that changes weather, anything that changes the stats of most weapons and armor. Anything that changes player health, enemy health. Anything that changes gameplay significantly. Ive balanced DUST to my own liking. If you install other mods that change that balance, you could either end up ruining everything, or vastly improving it to your own liking. Thats up to you. MOST OF THESE WILL STILL WORK AS LONG AS YOU LOAD DUST AFTER THEM IN THE LOAD ORDER. Do I need to bold that People dont seem to pick up on that. You DO NOT need to uninstall all of your mods to play DUST. Just load DUST after them, and most of them will still work fine. The Basics. Dont Starve. Dehydration and starvation rates are now greatly increased. At the same time, available food and water have been greatly diminished in number. Gathering sufficient food and water will now be a struggle. You will die. Dont Get Shot Humans including the player are now much more susceptible to wounds due to me increasing the damage multiplier on each body part. You may initially curse me when you first get torn apart by a Tunneler, but youll thank me when you realize how little ammo youll have to shoot with. It is suggested that you use Normal difficulty for DUST. Dont Go Insane. Murdering people, eating human flesh, and taking hardcore drugs will not do wonders for your mental health. If youre not careful, you could just go insane. Insane individuals lose 3 Charisma and Intelligence and suffer from debilitating hallucinations and lapses in memory often waking up somewhere with no memory of how they got there. On the other hand, insane players also have access to unique perks, so its not all bad. Be aware, though once you go insane, you never go back. Dont Cry. DUST is hard. Really hard. Youre probably gonna die a few times. Strategy is incredibly important if you want to survive. You cant just run into battle and rely on your compass to tell you who to kill. Youll need to scope out each situation as it arrives. Craft, crouch, and dont be obsessed with winning every battle. Atmosphere. The atmosphere of the Mojave has been completely redone. Nearly all weather has either been replaced with that of the Divide or edited to have a dustypolluted feel. All healthy looking desert plants have been replaced with dead counterparts. Oh, and Lake Mead is drained. Actually the entire Colorado River is drained. Its a Tunneler infested Labyrinth now. These scattered bands tends to lack firepower, using instead a plethora of melee and throwing weapons. Cannibals. Cannibals too lack when it comes to high quality weaponry. Their arsenal is made up mostly of home made firearms, hacking blades, and explosives. Cannibals usually arent seen wandering the wastes and are most often encountered in the ruins of old settlements. Be careful though these monsters tend to make up for their crappy weaponry in sheer numbers. Survivors. Survivors are people like you. Some are good, some are bad. Most Survivors will shoot on sight, just as you will probably will. Some will stand their ground, only attacking if you invade their personal space. A rare few will actually be willing to trade with you. Survivors are, for the most part, a mixed bag. Some will have extremely high quality weaponry while others will have crap. Some live in groups, some live alone. NCRThe NCR are the last major faction to survive. While Caesars Legion, The Great Khans, the Powder Gangers, and many other factions dissolved into innumerable bands of tribals and survivors, the NCR managed to keep hold of a few strongholds. Over the past 2. 0 years, the NCR have learned not to trust the average wastelander, due to their tendency to be cannibalistic madmen. Be careful, the NCR have access to high quality weaponry and often shoot on sight. Tunnelers As predicted by Ulysses in Lonesome Road, the Tunnelers of the Divide have migrated over the past 2. Few Bighorners or other herbivorous creatures remain due to the hunger of the Tunnelers. Geckos are gone too, because I hate their stupid eyes. I mean, er, because the Tunnelers ate them. Tunnelers are fast, strong, and all over the place. They will kill you. Cloud Victims. These mysterious survivors live only in the radioactive ruins of Vegas. Mutation has given them the ability to quickly heal when exposed to radiation. Weapons and Apparel. The variety of weapons and apparel have been greatly increased. Fight with dozens of new homemade weapons and armor as well as repurposed Unique and DLC items scattered throughout enemy levelled lists. Ive also thrown some weapon modifications into the levelled lists since they cant be bought anymore. These are very rare, though. Most weapons and apparel you come across will be in terrible condition. Be aware though your carry weight has been drastically reduced, so you wont be able to carry around an arsenal with you at all times. One or two guns, maybe a melee too if youve got light armor. Wearing no armor at all just regular clothing actually has an advantage now, since it weighs so little. Scarcity. Ammo is very rare. Most ammo you find will be junk rounds. Food and water is very rare. And before you get any ideas, no you cant just drink out of one of the many faucets of New Vegas. Plumbing doesnt work in the apocalypse what You can still drink the brown sludge in the bottom of toilets, though. If you so choose, you can eliminate hunger as a threat by turning cannibal. Cannibalism is treated as an addiction, however, and will result in some penalties. Meds and other loot are also very rare. Recommended Mods Not required, but fun to use with DUSTGeneral Mods.
