Summary

The encounter with the crash-landed alien inFallout 4can take a humorous turn if a player is able to pull off a lucky disarming of their interplanetary opponent, as one player recently shared. Like the other games in the series,Fallout 4finds ways to make the wasteland a little more wild, but disarming this enemy takes the absurdity to another level.

The encounter with the crashed alien ship is one that a lot of players have stumbled across in their adventures. Usually, after reaching level 20, players may be lucky enough to see the ship fall from the sky or may hear NPCs discussing it, and they’ll have to track the crash site down. Tracking down the crash site is the only organic way to obtain theAlien Blaster inFallout 4.

Once a player finds theUFO crash site inFallout 4, near Oberland Station, they’ll be able to follow a trail of green blood to nearby cave containing an injured alien, which turns aggressive if approached. As discovered by Reddit user Tommanic, disarming the injured interstellar traveler does not prevent it from losing its aggression. However, since its injuries render it unable to move, it will continue to point its empty blaster-firing hand harmlessly in the direction of the player indefinitely, rocking back and forth as if reacting to recoil from the gun it’s not even holding.

Fallout 4’s Alien Has a Weird Reaction when Disarmed

Aliens have been a recurring theme inFalloutgamessince before the franchise’s acquisition by Bethesda. These have ranged from easter eggs, like stumbling across a crashed UFO with two dead aliens in the original 1997 game, to full-on DLC quest lines, like the Mothership Zeta expansion forFallout 3. While many NPCs inFallout 2identify the slimy, mutated, subterranean creatures that emerge from the Great Wanamingo Mine as aliens, their actual origin is a point of contention.

For those looking to increase their disarming skills, there are a few different ways to approach the topic, depending on play style. The game includes plenty of perks that will give the player a chance to make an enemy drop their weapon with each attack. For ranged fighters, the Gunslinger perk adds this ability at its fourth level, and there are also a number ofStrength perks inFallout 4that can add a chance to disarm in melee or unarmed combat, such as Rooted, Iron Fist, and Big Leagues.
