It won’t be an exaggeration to say that The Frontier mod is a new game in itself. With over 150 new weapons, hundreds of new armors, and a new vehicle system, Fallout: New Vegas will now feel fresher than ever.

The mod also features three major quests that follow the NCR, the Legion, and the Crusaders of Steel. To further enhance the experience, there are several side quests with equally mind-boggling stories.

There are over 24,000 lines of new dialogue that the Frontier brings to the table. To make sure that the voice-acting in the mod remains top-notch, the developers have only cast trusted voice actors and some celebrity guests.

Last, but not least, the mod comes with brilliant FX. It is performance-friendly and based on techniques that are used in modern VFX.

Installing Fallout: The Frontier requires the base variant of Fallout: New Vegas and the four official DLCs that have released over the years.
