Summary
A fan ofFar Cry 5andFallout: New Vegashas combined the two by reconstructing New Vegas' Quarry Junction. The notorious New Vegas locale was created via the level editor inFar Cry 5’s Arcade mode.
Arcade mode is separate from the rest of the game’s story, and allows players to create their own self-contained maps with custom objectives, as well as play maps or attempt challenges made by other players. Creators can design everything on a map, including its boundaries, landmarks, elevation, and can even include enemies with programmable AI that players have to deal with. The width and breadth of what creators can use means that there are many otherFar Cry 5versions ofFalloutlocations.
Map creator Mojo Swoptops has taken advantage ofFar Cry 5Arcade’s capabilities to recreate Quarry Junction, an early-game location inFallout: New Vegas. The map features the main transfer tower from the abandoned mine, fenced in by the great limestone cliffs and outcroppings that helps explainwhy the original Quarry Junction is so infamous. The only thing missing is the litany of signs warning of Deathclaws in the area like in the original.
Luckily this version seems to be mercifully lacking Deathclaws, the high-level predators from theFalloutuniverse that made their home in the original Quarry Junction inFallout: New Vegas. The quarry is infamous for being full of them, and being alongthe fastest route to New Vegasfrom where the player starts out in Goodsprings. By design, often times new players are enticed to head straight through the junction and usually end up brutalized by the high-level Deathclaws therein, forcing them to make a more circuitous route with a much lower chance of meeting a gruesome, scaly end. It’s a pretty memorable experience shared by many an impatient and unfortunate Courier.
Players United by Deathclaw Destruction
Mojo Swoptops hasshared a YouTube videoallowing for a closer look at the build, and it does have the highly foreboding vibes of entering the Quarry for the first time. Fans of the custom map have also been sharing their appreciation of it, sharing stories of how their revenge missions were brought to a premature end by their need toget throughFallout: New Vegasquickly, as well as dozens and dozens of furious Deathclaws. While the lack of the iconic beasts may ruin the illusion, Mojo Swoptops has come up with a unique solution: Simply fill the map with the flesh-eating pigs ofFar Cry 5.
