100 Fallout 4 Enemies Battle To The Death
Remember when Skyrim launched, and one of the first things people did was build huge battles between the game’s AI enemies? Yeah, same story with Fallout 4 Here, Tyrannicon (who made some of the best Skyrim vids) has set 50 Raiders up against 50 Synths. It is as gory as it is glorious.
