Boston Wanderer – The True Hardcore Experience
A True Hardcore Experience Modification
The Most Comprehensive and best Hardcore mod for Fallout 4
Please don’t forget to Endorse if you like the mod!
For a while now i have been working on a mod to bring a true sense of dread and masochism into the game. To make the vanilla experience an actual task to complete (i know a few HC modes have been released, but this is my take on things.). Used FO4EDIT for it’s creation and cleaning. Full FOMod installer for ease of access.
(Video is of game play and testing etc on normal difficulty of the mod)
UPDATE 1.3:
Even more Modular installation!
25%, 50%, 75% and 100% explosive damage added
x2, x4 and x6 radstorm occurrence added
Superior Combat AI
Companion tweaks (less starting health, reduced carry weight)
Update 1.2:
Fully Modular design
You can now pick the decrease in XP -10%, -20%, -30%, -40% or -50% you want.
You can now pick the increase of the legendary spawn rates you want 2x, 3x, 4x or x5 vanilla survivor spawn rate.
You can now pick the increase in difficulty you want.
You can now pick the rate at which the cells respawn.
You can now pick the Radiation damage you want 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 or 300.
Carry weight modifications have been made an optional extra (not mandatory)
Combat Perks have been made an optional extra (Not mandatory)
Update 1.1:
Modified damage dealt by player because higher levels were too easy.
Modified fall damage
Initial Release:
RadStorm damage raised to 100/150/200 (100 in normal difficulty, 150 in hard and 200 in nightmare mode)
Radiation pools and areas have had the Rad damage effect greatly increased.
All Explosions have a wider radius and deal more damage.
Damage dealt to the player by npcs and damage dealt by the player have both been multiplied the higher the difficulty version you play, the more damage dealt and received.
All consumable items have had their positive effectiveness (health, AP and buffs) nerfed by 50%
All consumables have had their negative effectiveness (Addiction and radiation gain) increased by 50%
Fall Damage Increased
Limb Regen Decreased.
Chance of Legendary Enemy NPC’s spawning dramatically increased in all areas. (higher difficulty mod level, the more likely a legendary will spawn)
Enemy level health bonus upgraded from 5 to 11.
Ammunition level list – Ammunition is now scarce.
Stimpak & Chem level list -Life saving meds now scarce.
All health regen items now take far longer to kick in, so health doesn’t instantly slide back up when using a stimpak, it will take about 30 seconds to kick in.
Made Combat AI more Aggresive. Ranged NPC are likely to flank more often and are relentless
Survival debuff regen set from 10 to 15
Reduced all mission experience points dramatically (Harder mode you play, the less xp you gain)
Reduced player carryweight and carryweight multipliers by 60%
Nerfed companions so they are not “Mules”, they have half the stamina, less health offset and less starting health.
Split the mod up and managed to make a .esm master file.

Radstorms, damage dealt to and from player and XP have been placed into the normal, hard and nightmare esps. You do less damage and take less damage (but it is still difficult) the easier the mode you play. You also earn more xp (still less than vanilla) the easier the mode you play.
Edited weapon related perks all of them share the same attributes to the following:
Level 1: Unlocked for purchase at level 10. Deal 10% extra Damage
Level 2: Unlocked for purchase at level 20: Deal 20% more Damage.
Level 3: Unlocked for purchase at level 30. Deal 30% more Damage.
Level 4: Unlocked for purchase at level 40. Deal 40% more Damage.
Level 5: Unlocked for purchase at level 50. Deal 50% more Damage.
The mod comes with an easy to use FOMod installer, so simply download with NMM and install as you would any other mod and pick which options you want in game during installation.
