If you didn't see Bethesda's big Fallout 4 DLC presentation at E3, Vault-Tec Workshop is another big update for the Settlement system like the Contraptions pack. It adds a bunch of new props, building types, and other features to let you construct your own Vault-Tec approved subterranean dwelling, and you can even carry out secret experiments on the residents. You monster.

The Vault-Tec Workshop Pack is also the penultimate piece of DLC for Fallout 4. Once Nuka-World arrives in August with a new region to explore full of raiders and nostalgia for a fictional soft drink, the Fallout 4 Season Pass will officially be complete.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
