Far Cry 5 Player Recreates Classic Fallout: New Vegas Location in the Game

A Far Cry 5 player uses the game’s map-making feature to recreate an iconic location from Fallout: New Vegas with impressive and chilling results.

Thanks to a Twitter user known as UsagiCola, the mod has been found and restored, bringing Fred Durst back to his rightful place in the Mojave Desert. The mod was originally released in 2015 but was eventually taken down. The New Vegas modding community has managed to bring a lot of great content to Obsidian's survival RPG, but it was believed the Fred Durst mod was lost forever, until now.

The Return of Fred Durst in New Vegas

An NPC that looks exactly like Fred Durst is funny enough, but the cherry on top is how the NPC only speaks in Limp Bizkit lyrics. When a player interacts with Fred Durst, he replies with portions of Limp Bizkit songs, and its over-the-top absurdity is a hilarious extra layer added to New Vegas. Strangely, this isn't the first time a mod has paid tribute to Limp Bizkit, like one Doom player's tribute to Fred Durst and his respective nu-metal band.

Although many fans are hoping for a Fallout: New Vegas remake, the game's strong modding community has helped keep the RPG alive and well. Thanks to the work of these fans, there is still plenty of fun content to add to an already great game. The Fred Durst mod might be ridiculous, but it's a fun relic that has thankfully been restored.
