Another strange thing players might notice in the Fallout universe is the appearance of aliens. While Fallout is a dystopian, post-apocalyptic RPG series, elements of sci-fi are certainly sprinkled into the games, with the Zeta alien race being an example of this. Aliens appeared in the first Fallout game and have popped up in the world ever since. Usually, the Zeta alien race doesn’t appear for more than a brief moment, though they have featured in longer parts of a game on occasion.

Now, a modder known as RascalArt is giving players a chance to fight off a full alien invasion in Fallout 4. In the vanilla experience of the game, players can find a spaceship and fight one alien. In RascalArt’s mod, which is available now on the Nexus, a whole fleet invades the Commonwealth. The aliens act essentially as their own faction in this Fallout 4 mod, fighting the player in random encounters but also facing off against raiders, ghouls, and anything else they deem an enemy to their supreme rule.

Different types of aliens can be seen roaming around the Commonwealth as well, including rocket troopers, cannon fodder known as Froggos, and Zetan Overlords which act as the big bosses of the alien race. This isn’t the first time an invasion from outer space has been brought to Fallout, as Fallout 76 launched an official alien event where players had to defend Appalachia from the extraterrestrials. Also, in terms of more expansive alien content, a Fallout 3 expansion brought a whole questline dedicated to the Zetas as the player finds themselves on the aliens’ mothership.

While the Zetas may never have been the direct focus of a Fallout game, a lot of fans enjoy their inclusion and eagerly await what the developer will do with them next. Considering Bethesda’s next project Starfield looks to send players into space, it might be that gamers won’t have to wait until Fallout 5 to see the Zetas make their next appearance.

Fallout 4 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
