Fallout 2 might be one of the oldest games that I’ve made a mod list for.
But there’s a reason why I’m doing it. To this day, the game still has a high level of popularity thanks to its absurdly loyal fanbase.
There are just so many mods for this game that you’ll struggle to find any single one that you like most. There are mods that literally change the entire game and only keep the engine, for crying out loud.
I’ve done what I could with this list to please all types of Fallout 2 players, and I hope you find a mod that suits your needs.
I’ve added a whole bunch of different mods that range from basic game updates such as adding different weapons to the database to staggering revolutionary mods that change everything that the base game comes with.
Explore new stories, enjoy new weapons, and revive your interest for this classic title.
Alright I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t know the Fallout 2 Community was so into mods when I started noticing these fantastic creations.
The Tangut Prophecy caught me completely off guard, as it completely revamps the story of Fallout 2 and turns it into a different game.
I mean, it literally only keeps the base engine.
The game is now set in XII century China and you will have to explore a whole new story with many new characters and even more skills than ever before.
This is a massive revamp of the Fallout 2 you know – if you haven’t played any mods before, you’re in for one of the biggest treats of your gaming life.
New weapons, bug fixes, new dialogues, and gameplay changes.
Survivor is a Fallout 2 mod that keeps the essence and story of the original game, but provides you with many new small tweaks and additions that are sure to keep you entertained for days to come.
Totally worth checking out if you’re interested in this style of gameplay.
Alright, this on is insane. I’m sorry, there are no ways to describe this.
I know that games advanced a lot and modding a game like Fallout 2 is rather easy with today’s computers… but holy hell, it takes some damn dedication to create an entire new Fallout Online game out of an old Fallout title.
If you want to be amazed and play with others, give FOnline 3 a try.
It’s unfair to call this a mod. It’s basically an entire online game that is playable on the Fallout 2 engine.
The creator of this mod made sure to replace a bunch of the basic weapons that come with the base game and added a whole lot of fantastic old weaponry to make the game world feel more like our world.
But naturally, moreso in a truly post-apocalyptic shape.
Prepare to face the beasts of the wasteland with the same guns that were used in WW1.
This mod changes the story of Fallout 2, but it basically only changes the way the story is played.
I mean, the story itself is new. But everything is still in the world of Fallout.
You will be presented with new dangers and the game has a different approach – you won’t be doing any of that vault-dwelling that you do in the original game.
This time, you’re a regular guy. Deal with the apocalypse.
This mod is said to be under “heavy development” yet the last update came in 2010.
I feel like someone got bored of modding and left it behind, and it’s truly such a shame. But considering Fallout 2 is almost twenty years old, can we blame him?
Between Good and Evil is a fantastic revamp for Fallout that aims to stay true to the essence of the game whilst also giving you new cities, new parts of the map, new stories, and many new quests.
Even if it claims to be under development I’d still say this bad boy is playable.
I have to admit that I found it funny to see this mod among the most downloaded Fallout 2 mods of all time.
People never really change, you darn cheaters!
FO2 Cheat Chest is a mod that basically adds a chest with a whole bunch of overpowered items, which you can pick up early in the game to completely break the game and complete anything with no troubles ahead.
A true cheat chest indeed.
But it earns a high spot on my list because it’s useful for a diversity of reasons (even though cheating is the main one) and especially great for younger players who just want to get into the game without much challenge.
SCAR, otherwise known as the Skilldex Color Aesthetic Redux, is a fantastic graphic mod that changes the monochromatic approach and art of your skilldex to replace it with a whole bunch of amazing new images that are all colored.
The mod doesn’t alter anything related to gameplay.
But it does change the art of the game to give it a reinvigorated look that you will love if you’ve played it for a few years.
Alright, so this mod might as well be the first one on my list but I feel like it wouldn’t have been fair to do that given that it’s just a compilation of other mods.
The thing is, this mod gets you all of the best Fallout 2 mods in once pack, in order to improve the game experience massively with the click of a single button.
If you really like the original Fallout 2 and you want your game to feel anew, there is no better mod for me to recommend to you than this one.
It includes so many features that it will truly feel like a new game. Worth a try for sure. If you don’t like it you can always uninstall.
This is another story mod that gives a new meaning to the world overhaul.
It’s a whole new game based in the world of Fallout that simply used the engine and nothing more.
You will wake up in a cave, not knowing you are (as is tradition in the world of Fallout) and your main goal will be to find clues of your past and discover who was the man that you once were.
This is an amazing story mod and I really like the setup, although I admit I haven’t played it until the end.
If you love these sorts of spin-offs then you’ll love this mod.
It does, however, provide you with an amazing tool which can be used to create new Fallout 2 assets.
Since Fallout 2 is based upon sprites, you will be able to create new animals, enemies, creatures, weapons, and much more thanks to this fantastic tool which is surprisingly easy to use.
All you need is the ability to make sprite art or download sprites from elsewhere on the Internet. Easier said than done, but there are some premade assets out there.
Whatever it is you want to do, this mod gives you the chance to do it!
Wander the wastelands of the Fallout 2 world with a gun in your hands and a knack for trouble.
With this mod you’ll be able to experience a completely new story where you are a merc that has the main goal of making as much money as possible, living life on your own, and forgetting the troubles that came with being a vault dweller.
Use your skills with the gun and put them to good use. But forget about helping anyone other than yourself.
This mod provides the game with a cool twist, and I completely love it.
