Fallout 4 Wasteland Workshop: How to Make Creatures Fight Each Other

Fallout 4 allows fans to capture creatures and finally see which one is the ultimate king of the wasteland. In order to do this, you’ll need to set up an arena that allows spectators to stay safe.

There are some basic foundations that you’ll have to follow in order to ensure that your arena is fit for the contestants and in order to ensure that different types of creatures that you have captured will fight against one another. Here’s everything you need to know about arenas and watching your creatures fight it out.

Building Your Arena

In order to have a suitable arena, there are three basics that will make your arena the perfect Fallout 4 battleground. First off is laying down a floor. This isn’t completely necessary, but it will help with the placement of items we’ll get to later on in this guide.

Once you’ve placed the floors down for your arena you’ll need to build up some fences in order to keep the chaos contained. You can use walls if you want to but fences make it much easier to spectate the action. If you don’t build any kind of perimeter around your arena you could have some pretty disastrous results for your settlement and its inhabitants.

Finally, you’ll want to ensure you’ve got a powered door included somewhere in order for you to be able to get in when you need to, but prevent the contestants from escaping. These will require a power source, too, so remember to build a little generator nearby. If you’re struggling for resources you can always just delete part of your perimeter to gain access if you need to. But why not if you’re going to go all out on arena fighting?

Once all of this is in place, you’ll want to go ahead and throw in the cages for the creatures you’ve captured into the arena. However, there are specific placement requirements you must abide by to have the fight play out as you want it to.

How to Make Them Fight

Now that your arena is all built up and ready for your contestants you’ll need to get the cages and platforms into place. Cages, as you’ve probably already guessed from capturing a creature in one, are used to contain whatever beast of the wasteland you’ve acquired. The platforms which can be found in the Arena section of the Cages category of the crafting menu.

In order to have a caged creature face off against a settler or another creature, you’ll need to position your cage opposite the other cage or the platform that you’re going to assign settler to. Settlers assigned to either the Red or Blue platform will become hostile to one another, as well as any tamed captured creatures.

Now that you’ve got everything in place, you’ll need to be able to let your creatures free from their cages. To let your beast out of its cage, you’ll need to turn the power supply off to the cage. The easiest way to do this is to build a switch and place this in between the power supply and your cage. Now you can open and close the door to the cage as and when you wish.

Once all of this is done, turn the switches off, assign whatever settlers you want to the platforms and let the fight commence. We’re putting all our bottlecaps on the Deathclaw!
