Welcome to Nuka-World kid, where life is cheap and the bullets come thick and fast.

Each of the gangs has different playstyles to match their background.

In my demo, I took control of the sneaky Disciples, while my opponent had the Operators.

Youre so S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

We started off by learning a little more about the stats of each character.

If youve played Fallout before, then youll be familiar with the S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

One of the most interesting stats is Luck because it grants you special dice during a test.

Say, for example, you want to shoot your rifle.

First off, you take a look at your weapons stats and in this case, its 4P.

This means you roll four dice and you better pass a Perception test.

See it, shoot it!

While were talking about dice rolls, its worth looking at how combat works, particularly shooting.

If thats the case, you get a bonus dice on your roll.

Its wonderfully simple and ensures combat is lightning fast.

Once youve opened fire, its time to start doing some damage.

First up, you compare your successes against your opponents Endurance stat.

Think of it like a rival getting nicked by a bullet or shanked by a knife.

Its not enough to kill them, but its enough to make them less effective at dodging attacks.

Of course, this was just the tip of the iceberg for Fallout Factions.

The end of the world is almost here and I cant wait to get stuck in!
