Summary

  • A Fallout 4 player recreated Fortnite's Battle Bus above Spectacle Island settlement.
  • Community builds in Fallout 4 have evolved in quality over the years.
  • Exploiting glitches allows for more creativity in Fallout 4 settlement building.

A Fallout 4 player online has recreated the Battle Bus from Fortnite in the game, bringing it to life above the Spectacle Island settlement. There's no shortage of amazing Fallout 4 settlements, but this latest creation is one of the coolest yet.

Ever since the launch of Fallout 4 in 2015, the game's community has used the settlement-building features to great effect. While many of the builds in the early years were much simpler, settlement creations recently have gone up a notch in quality, thanks to more players than ever becoming familiar with the tools, and pushing to see exactly what they're capable of. Many of these community settlement builds serve different purposes. Some are there for aesthetics, while others can be built to provide a helping hand throughout the game. One Fallout 4 player even built a super-efficient ammo factory, ensuring they were never left wanting for bullets during their playthrough.

Redditor White_Knight_413 shared their awesome Fallout 4 settlement build, which they've created above Spectacle Island. It's a fantastic recreation of the Fortnite Battle Bus, and there's even an image of it for comparison. It's safe to say that White_Knight_413 absolutely nailed it on this occasion, although it isn't clear how they actually plan to get up there without console commands to make this usable.

Fortnite's Battle Bus Recreated in Fallout 4

Many in the thread were simply confused about the logistics of how White_Knight_413 was able to build so high up in the air in the first place. One player gave a strong explanation about how a Fallout 4 glitch may have been used, explaining "OP built high up, built the bus on a foundation, and then removed the foundation, leaving the bus suspended." It's cool to see small bugs in the game be exploited in a way that allows players to be even more creative with the settlements system, and there's certainly even more potential for similar ideas using the same glitch.

The Fallout series is in an interesting place right now. Demand for a new title in the series is arguably as strong as it has ever been. Thanks to the TV series' success, it has a ton of new fans, but Bethesda is clearly tied up with the development of The Elder Scrolls 6, which could roll on for years yet. It also seems hesitant to pass the franchise off to a third party in the meantime. Regardless, there are still some cool Fallout things for gamers to enjoy right now. The massive mod Fallout: London recently shadow-dropped, taking the series to England for the first time, and players seem to be loving what it has to offer. While it's not an official expansion, it's still worth a try.
