This encounter will likely end in the squad's death and a game over. Killing Brotherhood members inside the bunker will spawn a hostile squad of Brotherhood members wearing power-armor at the entrance. There, the player is given a map of the area marked with objectives and notes.

Among these locations are towns, factories, military encampments, or even a vault. Characters from completed missions occasionally visit the bunkers.Īfter receiving a mission briefing from the general in charge of the bunker, the player's squad can then move to the area where the mission will take place. The bunkers serve as a central point for the Brotherhood, and players can obtain the services of quartermasters, mechanics, personnel yeomen, and medics. Instead of towns, Fallout Tactics centers around Brotherhood bunkers and missions. Players are not able to respond to non-player characters, but they can still trade and gamble.

Unlike the previous two games in the Fallout series, Fallout Tactics emphasizes tactical combat and strategy, not roleplaying. The gameplay is similar to real-time strategy games, focusing on squad-based combat and introducing a continuous turn-based play style. Fallout Tactics is the first non-standard CRPG and the first to feature a multiplayer mode in the series.
