Fallout: New Vegas free multiplayer mode lets you explore with friends

Depending on which fan you ask, each may give a different answer when asked which is the best game in the ever-popular Fallout series. However, perhaps most will answer Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas was released in 2010 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and unlike Fallout 3, this particular entry was developed by Obsidian Entertainment. What’s more, Fallout: New Vegas was originally intended to be an expansion to Fallout 3 before evolving into its own standalone game, which also benefited from some fantastic DLC.

“As you battle your way across the heat-blasted Mojave Wasteland, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the neon-drenched Vegas Strip, you’ll be introduced to a colourful cast of characters, power-hungry factions, special weapons, mutated creatures and much more,” reads the synopsis of the game. “Choose sides in the upcoming war or declare “winner takes all” and crown yourself the King of New Vegas in this follow-up to the 2008 videogame of the year, Fallout 3.”

Like most games in the Fallout series, Fallout: New Vegas is a single-player game. Yet, what if just like Fallout 76, you could play this beloved cult classic with fiends?

If playing Fallout: New Vegas with friends sounds like something you’d love to do, then this awesome multiplayer mod is one to check out. Available via its dedicated website, the mod in question is called ‘NV: MP’ and it’s free to download right now.

The Fallout: New Vegas multiplayer mod allows you to explore the post-apocalyptic wasteland with friends or randoms whether you embark on quests or just to cause mayhem by eradicating mutants that may attempt to kill you first.

You can even create factions with friends and battle against other players. The mod can support a maximum of 128 players, however, the chances of being in a server with that kind of player count may be very unlikely.

With this being an unofficial mod, you may encounter the odd bug or two (as well as the radioactive variety) but thankfully its talented team of modders provide constant support and updates.

As with the nature of most mods, this particular multiplayer mod is only compatible with the PC version of Fallout: New Vegas. But at least we can still play this awesome RPG on modern consoles and it’s even available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers at no extra cost.
