Since Bethesda took over theFalloutfranchise for 2008’s third installment, the series has become even more popular over the years, though76proved to be a disaster at the time of launch. While some prefer the more classic, isometric PC titles, the fact thatFallout Shelteris the highest-selling Bethesda gameshows that it thrives in the mainstream. One thing that perhaps helps keep the games in the limelight is the dedicated modding community. With it being made and published by Bethesda, it opens up the world to all kinds of custom content, including some which is reminiscent of other IPs.
Although known for taking place almost entirely above ground, in a desolate wasteland, someone has managed to create a more underwater environment forFallout 4. Called “20 Leagues Under the Sea,” this mod is essentially a new vault, Vault 120, that’s been built in the sea. Created by MinitelRouge, this add-on seems to combine the post-apocalyptic settlements of the open world RPG with something that wouldn’t go amiss in the firstBioShockentry.

Images show the detailed underwater environment, with corridors that look out into the vast body of water that buries the vault, and rising towers that even have some of the art deco aesthetic that greets players during theopening sequence of the firstBioShockgame. The description says that Vault 120 was built centuries ago in which people wished to escape the “madness of men up on the surface,” again in a similar vain to the title that inspired this mod. There are also two settlements as well as a couple of workbenches.
For anyone who downloads the mod, the location of the underwater vault can be found to the northeast of Nordhagen Beach, seemingly on the way toFallout 4’s pirate utopia Libertalia. Aside from some irradiated creatures and space to create a community, there’s not much else that’s said about the add-on, so it’s likely up to players to give it a go and see what’s down there.
Like any good Bethesda game,Fallout 4has a ton of community-made modsavailable to download. Some tweak the game in numerous ways to improve on the vanilla format, others fix bugs, while some implement new content entirely. MinitelRouge’s “20 Leagues Under the Sea” falls into the latter category, and it’s not just a standard mod, either. This will likely be one for bothFalloutandBioShockfans to try out.
Fallout 4is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
