Happy Atomfall Wicked Isle DLC release day!!! If you’re like me, and you’re incredibly excited to return to Wyndham and its excellent British charm with the new DLC, you’ll be pleased to hear there’s been a new Atomfall patch released alongside it too.
With the patch, there are a number of fixes, improvements, and bugs squashed.
Good news for achievment hunters, as the “Batteries Not Included” achievement should now unlock properly. Rebellion have also fixed some NPC behaviour to make sure they behave and appear as expected (potentially spoiler-y so listed below).
The patch also adds a new “Hide Crosshair” option so you can remove the crosshair and hit markers from the HUD if you’re looking for something of a streamlined / authentic experience. Reminiscnent of the Fallout meme where an NPC is being attacked whilst talking with them, they’ve also fixed it so you can’t be attacekd when in conversation with NPCs and quest givers (it is rude to interrupt a jolly good chinwag afterall).
It’s great seeing Rebellion give Atomfall the ongoing support. Long may it continue. Patch notes below.
