All New Content in the Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update
Furthermore, the next-gen update includes a ton of new content, primarily Creation Club items, that will become available for everyone who owns the game completely free. These include:
- Enclave Colonel Uniform
- Enclave Weapon Skins
- Enclave Armor Skins
- Tesla Cannon
- Hellfire Power Armor
- X-02 Power Armor
- Heavy Incinerator
- Makeshift Weapon Pack
- Baseball Launcher
- Nail Gun
- Piggy Bank
- Halloween Workshop
- 38 Halloween-themed decorations
You’ll note that most of these items were previously available in the Creation Club, but everyone will receive them free. Unfortunately, if you already purchased credits and unlocked these items, there doesn’t appear to be any compensation.
But that’s not the end of the new content! We’ll also receive Enclave Remnants—a new questline in which you prevent The Enclave from gaining a foothold in The Commonwealth.
