Summary
AFallout 3fan has built the iconic location of Megaton inFar Cry 5Arcade mode. ManyFar Cry 5fans have used the Arcade tools to build unique things, but this may be the most impressiveFallout 3build from the game mode.
Far Cry 5was released with a creation tool in Arcade mode that has allowed players to create a variety of locations. Though the game is set in Hope County, Montana, many Arcade creations look like nothing from the campaign. Gamers have used Arcade modeto makeSkyrim’s Breezehome, Blockbuster Video, andFar Cry 2environments. WhileFar Cry 6was released in 2021, Arcade mode was notably absent. This has resulted in many creative fans reverting to the prior game to express themselves. One gamer has builtFallout 3’s Megaton using theFar Cry 5Arcade tools.
YouTuber Mojo Swoptops recently shared a video of theirFar Cry 5Arcade creation. The build is based on Megaton, which is often the first city that players will encounter after escapingFallout 3’s Vault 101. The video begins with the player entering the city under a welcome sign and walking down the hill to the undetonated bomb the location is named after. Beyond the item clutter reflecting the post-apocalyptic landscape, some iconic Megaton scenery includes the leaking pipes, the irradiated pond under the bomb, and the multiple layers of buildings. While the bomb doesn’t look exactly as it does inFallout 3, the surrounding area makes it clearer.
How Is This Megaton Different From Fallout 3?
Emphasizing the nature of their creation, Mojo Swoptops has also applied theFallout 3UI to their Megaton tour. Given that the location is missing the familiarFallout 3NPCs, there are fewer things to do in this version of Megaton. Players won’t be able to start the quest to blow up Megaton in Moriarty’s Saloon, they can’t join the Church of the Children of Atom, and they can’t help Moira with her Wasteland Survival Guide. While it isn’t as alive as the real Megaton, this creation highlights just how detailed the worlds players create in Arcade can be.
As this isn’t Mojo Swoptops' first Arcade creation, the player may share moreFalloutbuilds in the future. While Ubisofthasn’t updatedFar Cry 5in a while, this attempt at recreating Megaton showcases the game’s continued potential. BecauseFar Cry 7hasn’t been announced, it’s unclear if Arcade mode will be brought back or if it will remain a staple ofFar Cry 5.
