"Enemies won't immediately be able to find you, they will search the location you were last at if you whistle, or wherever the bolts land if your throw them so get out of there quick and you can lure them around pretty effectively. "The mod is pretty simple, but works well," FLipdeezy says. Creator 'FLipdeezy' points to Manhunt as another inspiration. Metal Gear's tricks are knocking on objects and hurling empty magazines, but this essentially works the same.


Whistling lures enemies to the spot you whistled from, obvs, and if you hurl a nut they'll go investigate where it landed. It gives you a whistle as an item, then you'll need to craft bolts (which I think are actually nuts?) from steel. It's not quite on the same level as walking around wearing a cardboard box with a picture of a sexy lady on to distract horny guards, but the Tactical Distraction System mod does sound neat. A new mod for Fallout 4 attempts to shake this up a little by introducing two Metal Gear Solid-ish sneaky tricks: whistling and throwing bolts to lure and distract enemies. It's been powerful at times, sure, but always a bit bland and never explored in much depth (hey, it's an RPG, not a sneak 'em up). Though stealth has always been an element of the Fallout games, it's never been interesting stealth.
