The Slasher
Set to unfold over the course of the weeks following the update, The Slasher content rolls out differently than most of our major updates. Wastelanders should expect to receive in-game updates from The Debunker Radio on what’s happening in the world and what they should do next.
You can start this experience by tuning into the “Breaking News” broadcast station in your Pip-Boy.
