Eerie Discovery in Fallout 4: Unsettling Sight of Blood-Soaked Trees

Highlights

A Fallout 4 player discovers bleeding trees in Boston while playing the game.

The video clip shows multiple trees bleeding when shot, but it's unclear if it's a bug or associated with a mod.

Other players may not experience the same bleeding trees since this could be a bug.

In Fallout 4, a player has made an interesting discovery regarding bleeding trees in the game. Despite the post-apocalyptic setting, Boston in Fallout 4 showcases a range of foliage, and these bleeding trees stand out as particularly unusual.

Bethesda's open-world games strive for realism by incorporating familiar elements like rocks and foliage. This attention to detail enhances the immersion of the role-playing experience, despite the fantastical aspects. In the mostly barren landscape of the Fallout 4 Boston commonwealth, trees can still be found. Additionally, Fallout 4 Settlements often include trees that players can remove if they are not needed for their builds. During their playthrough, one player stumbled upon a peculiar set of trees that exhibit bleeding effects when attacked.

Reddit user 420danger_noodle420 recently shared a video of their Fallout 4 adventure. In the clip, the player shoots a tree with their revolver and is surprised to see blood coming out of it. Curious, they shoot at ten more trees in the greener environment of Boston to see if they all have the same response. As they move from one tree to another, the video shows that each one bleeds when shot. Towards the end, the player reaches a Fallout 4 settlement, suggesting that the trees near the Starlight Drive-in may be different from those found elsewhere in the game.

The video cuts off before the player tries to use VATS to target different parts of the trees, similar to how they can with enemies in Fallout 4. According to 420danger_noodle420, they left the area and returned, but were unable to replicate the bleeding tree experience. This suggests that the clip may capture one of the bugs or glitches that can affect Fallout 4 trees, or it could be related to a mod. The player mentions having the Healthier Commonwealth mod enabled, although it is not expected to cause trees to bleed. Many fans of the Fallout series compared these bleeding trees in Boston to Harold, a tree-like mutant character from previous games who played a role in regrowing the wasteland by spreading seeds.

The Bloody Mess perk and its upgrades in Fallout 4 have the ability to increase the gore on defeated enemies, but it should not affect the foliage. However, it seems that there may be a bug related to the Healthier Commonwealth mod, which caused the trees to react to the player's shots. Since the majority of trees in Fallout 4 are part of the game's environmental design, it might be difficult for other players to recreate the bleeding trees created by 420danger_noodle420.

Fallout 4 is currently available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
