With Bethesda finishing up Starfield(opens in new tab) for an October 2023 release, and with The Elder Scrolls 6 still waiting in the wings, it's safe to say we won't see Fallout 5 for another… eight years? 10 years? Maybe more?
That's what makes Fallout: London such an exciting prospect for impatient Fallout fans. The full-conversion Fallout 4 mod will take players out of the United States and across the Atlantic to merry old England, where they'll experience weaponized elephants(opens in new tab), murderous mailboxes(opens in new tab), and radshrew-filled tube stations.
(Unfortunately, plans for ghoulified royals(opens in new tab) King Charles and Queen Elizabeth in the mod were scrapped.)
The Fallout: London mod is due out sometime this year, but you don't have to wait any longer to get a taste.

Modder and animator Neeher has created a video about the gun you can watch below.
And if you haven't seen Neeher's mod videos before (the modding wizard also managed to create working ladders in Fallout 4(opens in new tab)) you should really check it out because it's delightful.

The mod is based on the actual weapon: the Lewis gun is an American designed, UK-produced light machine gun used in the First World War and remained in service all the way through the Korean War.
