Bethesda released today the much awaited Survival mode for Fallout 4 on PC.
For those who are seeking far greater challenges in terms of the game’s difficulty in Fallout 4, definitely download the patch and try it out. With Survival mode, players will not be able to fast travel anymore, save while you sleep, and many more modifiers that will pretty much make everyone’s lives horrible.
In addition, new fixes are also implemented with the release of Survival mode today. Here are the patch notes:
Features:
- New Survival difficulty
- Survival adds additional challenges including no fast travel, saving only when you sleep, increased lethality, diseases, fatigue, danger and more. See the in-game Help menu for more details.
- Characters set to Survival difficulty appear under their own Character Selection filter
- Third person camera movement improvements when player is close up against walls and other objects

- Fixed issue with “Appropriation” where blueprints would not appear properly if the container had already been looted prior to getting the quest
- In “The Nuclear Option,” entering the Institute using the targeting helmet on Power Armor no longer inadvertently causes the player to go into combat, and become stuck in the Institute
- Fixed distance check with Robotics Expert perk
- While in Workshop mode, if the Jump button is remapped, the Y or Triangle button can still be used to jump
- Fixed issue with “Defend the Castle” where speaking to Ronnie Shaw would not properly complete the quest
