Battle of Cambridge
What this mod does
This will spawn a massive battle across Cambridge in the area bordered by Cambridge Police Station to the west, Kendall Hospital to the east, College Square to the northwest, Fraternal Post 115 to the southwest, Cambridge Red Rocket to the north, and CIT to the south.
The NPC’s generated are leveled, so the mod should be beatable provided you’re above level 10. Super Mutants are concentrated to the south, Raiders to the north, monsters in the middle.
There are 2 batch files included in the download. Install both in your main game folder and you can choose in-game which to run:
1) Cambridge.txt: “bat Cambridge” console command spawns over 250 enemies at dozens of spawn points.
2) CambridgeLight.txt: “bat CambridgeLight” console command spawns half as many enemies.
Warning: This mod is meant to be tough. Due to the number of NPC’s generated it will affect your frame rate during the battle. Unless you have a good rig you might want to start with “bat CambridgeLight”and make sure the performance is acceptable to you before trying “bat Cambridge”.
FAQ
Q: How to install?
A: Download manually. Place both .txt files into your game folder where Fallout4.exe is located (not your data folder). For people using Steam the folder is usually ProgramFiles (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4.
Q: How to uninstall?
A: Remove both text files from your game folder.
Q: Where is Cambridge?
A: South of Lexington and north of Diamond City. The Cambridge Police Station is the place where you first encounter Danse and the
Brotherhood of Steel.
Q: How to generate the enemies?
A: Travel to any point in the western Cambridge area, open the console using the ~ key, and type “bat Cambridge” without the quotes, then hit enter and exit the console. The Cambridge Campus Diner is a good central location to start for maximum action.
If you want half as many enemies to spawn instead, type “bat CambridgeLight”.
Save your game before you generate the enemies. The odds of dying are high.
Q: How is this different than using player.placeatme console command?
A: The“player.placeatme” command places all the enemies right in front of you. This mod strategically places the enemies at dozens of spawn points around Cambridge to make the battle more interesting, last longer, and reduce the probability of getting killed right away. It also generates the enemies with one command rather than fifty.
Q: Does this mod require any other mods?
A: No. But some other mods are likely to add to your enjoyment of this mod. See Recommended Mods list below.
Q: How long does the battle last?
A: Depends on your weapons, number of companions, etc. Typically at least 10 minutes to wipe out all the enemies.
Q: Can you make this mod for other areas or settlements as well?
A: I’m open to suggestions. Already made battles for some other areas. See “My Battle Mods”below.
Q: Will this corrupt or crash my game?
A: There is no .esp file with this, just .txt files that place enemies in the world space, so it won’t corrupt your game. However the game engine has a limit to how much stuff can be going on at once, and the quality of your rig also matters. If the regular “bat Cambridge” command is causing problems, try the “bat CambridgeLight” command. Don’t enter the console commands until you’re at Cambridge, or you may find lots of corpses in unexpected places around Cambridge.
Recommended mods (none of these are required):
Settlement Raiding Mod: This lets you generate Raiders, Gunners, Brotherhood of Steel, etc. to attack your settlements. I highly recommend SRM because it features corpse cleanup so bodies disappear quicker, which will help your performance/FPS if you replay large battles repeatedly in succession. Also, if you like this mod, chances are you’ll love SRM.
Personal Jetpack, or any mod that adds a jet pack. If you get surrounded by too many enemies, sometimes the only way to avoid dying is to fly out.
Unlimited Followers, or any mod that lets you have more than one companion.
Awesome Armor Effects, or any mod that lets you auto-inject stimpaks, because sometimes you forget until it’s too late.
