FALLOUT 4 | 2026 Mod Collection

This is Fallout 4 reimagined as a bleak, grounded, survival experience — inspired by the atmosphere of STALKER and the tone of Fallout 3.

Heart Of The Zone is a work-in-progress mod collection focused on turning Fallout 4 into a slow, tense, immersive survival game: slower movement speed, hardcore gunfights with increased damage, much more limited ammo and stimpacks. Proper shadow-casting lights, a Pitboy-mounted flashlight with dynamic shadows. Tweaked shader for overall darker, muted, more washed look - closer to Fallout 3. Think: STALKER meets Fallout 3, but in Fallout 4’s engine.

This video is 30 minutes of raw, uninterrupted gameplay to show the atmosphere, pacing, and survival feel. No music, no commentary — just the world.
