Forums - Microsoft - First details on Fallout 3: The Pitt

Friday 13-Feb-2009 2:01 PM New weapons and quests in the steel-making industrial zone emerge via OXM

The first details on Fallout 3's second DLC pack, The Pitt, have arrived via the latest UK Official Xbox Magazine.

The Pitt takes place in Pittsburgh's steel-making industrial district, described by OXM as a "stunning dystopia that's unlike any other area in Fallout 3's world".

The Pitt consists of a large 'dungeon' area, an abandoned steel yard, as well as a settlement divided into two halves; Downtown, occupied by slaves, and Haven occupied by their masters.

For the first time players will be able to interact with Raiders other than by fighting them, says the mag, and one major quest has you taking on the role of a slave, investigating rumours that the Raider boss has found a cure for mutation.

Side quests and unique items are promised, naturally, including the fearsome-looking Auto Axe, which a bit like a chainsaw crossed with a Black & Decker hedge trimmer.

The Pitt is due for release in March.

Check out shots in OXM 44 on sale now, which also holds reviews of Halo Wars, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena and Street Fighter IV among others. Hit this link for more details.

That whetted my appetite. I was initially just going to get Operation Anchorage and Broken Steel but this looks too good to pass up.

Don't get Operation Anchorage.  It's really rubbish.

 I got it and played it already and dont agree its rubbish. Maybe I can understand that its overpriced but the new weapons are great. The new enemies and environment was fun while it lasted as well.

The dlc is necessary to continue playing after the end of the game as well right?

The Broken Steel DLC out in April will be the one required to continue after the game is finished. Operation Anchorage and The Pitt dont let you continue on so requires you to load an old save game.

Fallout 3: Welcome To The Pitt

By Mike Fahey, 3:30 PM on Thu Feb 19 2009, 757 views

Bethesda formally welcomes you to post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh, PA, with three new screenshots from the upcoming Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt. Did somebody say auto-axe?

The Pitt content opens with the players responding to a desperate radio message. Someone in The Pitt has created a cure for mutations, and the player must travel there and retrieve it from the leader of the settlement at all costs. From there the choice on how to proceed is up to the you. Do you side with the slaves of The Pitt or their raider overlords? How about just going in with your rotary auto-axe blazing?

Find and use new weaponry, such as the AutoAxe, a new melee weapon with a powerful, serrated rotary blade hungry for flesh.

A multi-bladed axe that spins? Hell, that's worth the 800 Microsoft points alone! Look for The Pitt to drop next month on the Xbox 360 and PC. For now, behold the glory of the auto-axe.
