Bethesda’s popular free-to-play mobile game, “Fallout Shelter” has just received its first character from the upcoming title “Fallout 4” - Preston Garvey, the leader of the Commonwealth Minutemen.
Preston Garvey’s Laser Musket weapon is also available in the mobile game, for the Vault dwellers, starting today.
“Preston becomes the first ‘Fallout 4’ character available in ‘Fallout Shelter’ and your dwellers will also have the opportunity to brandish the weapon he wields in ‘Fallout 4’: the Laser Musket,” read the official Bethesda Blog.
