Fallout 4 News and Rumors: Things You Need To Know About the Wasteland Workshop

Bethesda has just rolled out its much anticipated second DLC, the Wasteland Workshop, for its hit post-apocalyptic adventure game Fallout 4.

As the DLC title suggests, there's nothing new to offer because the content is designed primarily to help players improve their survivability and in-game settlements by offering a number of craftable items and building options.

At the heart of the game, these are the things that you need to be oriented about:

1. The story lacks stories and missions.

Just to manage your expectations, the piecemeal additions are not enticing enough as it lacks the breadth of the missions found in in the previous DLC, Automatron. But it does have a whole bunch of cosmetic makeovers for settlement-building systems and other useful creative stuff.

"Creative experimentation is at the heart of Wasteland Workshop's best stuff, but it's also part of the problem: with so much emphasis on just providing materials, there aren't a lot of accompanying systems granting measurable rewards to reap from the work you're doing," remarked Jared Petty of IGN.

Petty further noted, "It's a bit disappointing that there are no stories or missions built around these new settlement options, but the new tools in the toolbox do make Fallout 4 a more creative game."

2. Decontamination Arch

Despite all its flaws, the Decontamination Arch is surely one useful structure that players can build to dust off radiation levels in their settlements.

3. Killing Fallout 4's Most Hated Character, Marcy, Has Become a Lot Easier

For the uninitiated, Marcy is first seen taking refuge with Preston Garvey and his crew in the Museum of Freedom, Concord. Players who have been immersed in the game for too long have found craftable items in the DLC which they could creatively fashion into mean tools of brutality toward her according to Movie Pilot.

4. You can now Chryslus Rocket '69 in Forza 6 albeit with Microsoft Xbox Codes.

As reported by Breathecast, Microsoft is reportedly sending codes to players to acquire the Fallout's 'most elegant retrofuturistic' cars while singed into Xbox Live. However, it may take a week before the codes arrived as the company sends out a bulk of codes (in millions) to other Xbox users worldwide.

The latest DLC pack is available for just $4.99. For Asia-based gamers using either PS 4 or Xbox One, users may have to wait until the regional release on April 19.
