Rather, this download represents more of a philanthropic gesture, one made possible by Nexus Mods' donation system.

Transforming the game isn't Radbeetle's intention, though. The second renames several other in-game items to mirror the cultural zeitgeist: antibiotics become 'toilet paper,' herbal stimulant becomes 'disinfectant,' anodyne becomes 'bleach,' and antimicrobial becomes 'hand sanitizer.' Assets and effects stay the same, making this mod an inessential method of injecting some morbid reality into Bethesda's wasteland. One changes the names of all six diseases in survival mode to 'COVID-19' (these, for the record, are fatigue, infection, insomnia, lethargy, parasites, and weakness). The package features two files to download. It's called COVID-19 Coronavirus Outbreak, and it's available right now on popular modding website Nexus Mods. A player by the name of Radbeetle is behind one altruistic mod aiming to give a helping hand to healthcare workers.

In Fallout 4, the pandemic has prompted an act of charity. Video games are responding to the strange challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in a multitude of ways, whether slashing sale prices, offering double XP weekends, or hosting memorial processions.
