The BE Team has released a REDUX version that combines the two DLC-sized fan expansions for Fallout: New Vegas, Retribution 1 and 2. So, let’s see what this new REDUX version brings to the table.
Retribution REDUX has all the features of the original Retribution 1 and 2. They are both fully-voiced medium-sized quest mods where you work as a contractor for the Legion at Cottonwood Cove, eventually earning the insidious title of The Scourge. Across 20 quests, you’ll hunt down escaped slaves, infiltrate NCR bases, clean up raiders, put down do-gooders, collect heads, set up your own chem operation, and much more! Along with this, you’ll find plenty of new NPCs, weapons, armors, factions, and choices to make, which will help define your courier and impact the fate of Cottonwood Cove.
This new REDUX version rebalances the audio for Retribution 1 characters and adjusts enemy health. It also adds missing voice lines for Sextus, Keith, and Cleo. The REDUX update fixes the bug that allowed players to complete “Until It Sleeps” without killing Scully. Additionally, it patches Icarus and Nox’s force-greets so they trigger instantly and are no longer missable. It also adds more henchmen to the fights with Nox and Icarus, making those encounters appropriately challenging.
If you have already played these two mods, this REDUX version may not seem particularly impressive. However, if you haven’t played them, this is the definitive version to get. You can download it from this link.
For what it’s worth, I could not find any trailer for this REDUX version of Retribution. So, at the end of the article, I added a video from the original version of Retribution 2. This should give you an idea of what you can, more or less, expect from it.
If you are into Fallout: New Vegas, you can also try these other mods for it. For instance, this mod adds real-time reflections. Another one changes over 1,000 functions to make the game run smoother. Plus, there’s a mod to make the game’s characters even smarter. Another must-have mod is this one, which improves collision accuracy and fixes/optimizes meshes.
In June 2024, we shared a mod that brought some STALKER-like anomalies to the game. Moreover, you can get this mod that adds physically-based vehicles to the game. And if you love quests, there’s a mod that gives you an endless supply of new ones. Let’s also not forget the Visuals Improved Content Expanded Mod. This mod fills the surroundings of Vegas to make it feel more like a real city.
There are also some cool fan-made expansions for New Vegas. Three of them are being made as we speak. These are Fallout: Broken City, Fallout: Nuevo Mexico, and Star Wars Open Worlds. On the other hand, we have these DLC-sized mods that you can grab and play right now. So, you can download Fallout New California, Fallout: Free Cheyenne Demo, and Fallout New Vegas: Out of Bounds. We also have Fallout The Frontier and Retribution 2. Another cool fan expansion is Tales of New Reno.
Let’s also not forget Dawn of Stealthtenza, another DLC-sized expansion mod that offers 3 hours of new content. There is also a demo of another fan remake mod for the canceled Fallout 3 game, called Fallout Revelation Blues. Plus, you can download the first version of Fallout: The New West, which aims to recreate the canceled Van Buren game. Finally, we have a demo for Fallout: Chicago.
Have fun!
