Fallout 4 Player Recreates Team Fortress 2’s Heavy Using the Character Creator

A clever Fallout 4 player online has recreated Team Fortress 2‘s Heavy class using the game’s powerful character creation tools. This Fallout 4 creation looks instantly like the iconic Team Fortress 2 character, who is instantly recognizable for any gamer who has played the 2007 shooter.

Despite being released back in 2015, Fallout 4‘s character creator remains extremely powerful. Players can pull at certain areas of the face, making something completely unique every time they create a character. Admittedly, this can result in some scary creations, but the results are great when done correctly. Since the game’s release, gamers have been sharing all manner of characters they’ve created, many of which come from other franchises. There was even one Fallout 4 player who made their character look like Walter White from Breaking Bad.

Fallout Fans Are Still Asking for This Holotape Feature

Fallout fans discuss the franchise’s Holotape storage devices and still want to see one popular feature added to them in future titles.

Redditor Salty_Code6608 shared their impressive Fallout 4 character creation, which has been made to look just like the Heavy from Team Fortress 2. There are a few key features that Salty_Code6608 has nailed that really confirm this as the Heavy. There’s his bald head, his massive chin, and his distinctive frown. Get all of this right, and it’s very clearly the Heavy. While this player has made this character as Nate, one player suggested also doing it as Nora so “Shaun can also be heavy weapons guy.” It would definitely be interesting to see how the game would create Shaun using those two as his parents.

Fallout 4 TF2 Heavy Character

Of course, there were plenty of Team Fortress 2 Heavy-related jokes in the thread by gamers who recognized the character. One claimed, “It cost 400,000 bottle caps to fire this weapon, for twelve seconds,” a fun reference to Valve’s classic Meet the Heavy video released many years ago now. A couple of users pointed out that it almost looks like they’ve recreated Penguin instead, which is certainly a fair comparison.

It’s impressive to see what fans can still do with the Fallout 4 character creator after almost a decade, but there’s undoubtedly an appetite among fans for a mainline sequel to be released finally. At the moment, this seems to still be many years away. Bethesda wants to release games at a quicker rate, but there’s no sign of Fallout 5 on the horizon, especially given it’s well-documented that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be first on the studio’s agenda. It’s bizarre to think that a new mainline Fallout game may not arrive until the 2030s, but that’s certainly a possibility at the moment unless Bethesda changes its approach.
