About the Game

In Wasteland 3 you take command of a squad of Desert Rangers, lawmen and women in a post-nuclear world, trying to rebuild society from the ashes. More than a century after the bombs fell, you’re fighting a losing battle to keep your beloved Arizona alive. Then the self-proclaimed Patriarch of Colorado radios, promising aid if you'll do a job he can only entrust to an outsider—rescue his land from the ambitions of his three bloodthirsty children.



You’re dispatched on a desperate quest from the scorching deserts to the snowy mountains to start from scratch, building a new base, finding a snow-worthy vehicle, training new recruits, and fighting your way through hostile frozen wastes. All the while, you'll have to decide who to trust in this land torn apart by corruption, intrigue, warring factions, crazed cultists, cutthroat gangs, and bitter sibling rivalries. Build a reputation for yourself by making decisions that will profoundly impact Colorado, its inhabitants and the story you experience. Will you be Colorado’s savior or its worst nightmare?



Wasteland 3 is a squad-based RPG from inXile entertainment, featuring challenging tactical turn-based combat and a deep, reactive story full of twists, turns, and brutal ethical decisions that will keep you hooked whether you’re a Wasteland veteran or new to the series. Create a squad of up to six Rangers and customize them with perks and abilities geared to your playstyle. You even get your own battle truck, which you can upgrade into a hardened war beast, bristling with weapons, to help mow down your enemies.

  inXile 20th Anniversary Documentary

  We’re celebrating inXile’s 20th year as a game studio with a look back through our history; where we came from, obstacles along the way, and our studio’s future. But it’s the challenges that made us who we are, and we’re sharing never before heard stories about our history, our games (including some that were never released), and how becoming an Xbox Game Studio has changed our trajectory forever. As you’ll learn in the documentary, it’s really our fans and those that helped support us directly through crowdfunding that kept the studio going, and we’d like to once again thank anyone who backed a game, told a friend about us, or even just liked a post promoting a backer campaign. Even those small interactions absolutely made a difference in our lives, and we survived as a studio on the support of people who like to play the kinds of games we like making. We hope you enjoy this look back at the last 20 years and continue to join us in our game worlds as we look toward the next 20. We can’t wait to show you more. inXile entertainment

  Patch 1.6.9.420 Now Live!

  Cult of the Holy Detonation Fixed an issue where the radio call to begin the expansion did not trigger if you had previously dismissed the Morning Star radio call. Morning Star will not be ignored. Fixed an issue where the computer in the Holy Detonation chamber could turn hostile to the player, making it so you couldn't use it. Although I bet it wasn’t as hostile as my mother-in-law! Heyooo. You’re a great crowd, thank you so much. Fixed an issue in which having a Ranger removed from your squad via a science experiment allowed you to get your squad into an invalid state (5 CNPCs and 1 Ranger), blocking progression. Invalid state? You know who I’d like to put into an invalid state? My mother-in-law! Heyooo! Thank you so much folks. Fixed an issue where auto-saving, while the crane was lowering onto the pressure plate in the Loading Docks, caused a progression blocker. Progression blocker? You know who has been blocking my progression? My mother-in-law! You’re terrific, you’re terrific. The VR Headset’s audio effects were persisting when selecting other characters, so we fixed that. It has also been moved to the Special section of the Crafting UI so it’s easier to find. VR? You know who lives in a Virtual Reality? My mother-in*cough**choke* … *thump**dragging sounds**woodchipper whirring**grinding noises* Sorry about that. Back to the notes. The follower obtainable from the Security Level now runs faster during exploration, so they shouldn’t fall far behind you. Fixed an issue that could cause the Bubble Shield status effect and VFX to persist after combat was over, even though the bubble itself was gone. Fixed an issue that made it look like Purging Grenades could hit interactive objects (such as explosive barrels and doors) when aiming them. Made it easier to interact with tumor doors. The Battle of Steeltown Players should now get pulled into a conversation after saving Steeltown from the gang raid, giving them a reward. Fixed several issues in the Steeltown Exter...

  Hotfix 1.6.1 Now Live

  Grab that coffee and prepare to toboggan through a veritable gauntlet of post-apocalyptic patch notes! Hot on the heels of our second (and final) DLC’s release, we’re serving up a plate of fixes and tweaks that are sure to please. Now, what’s this 1.6.1 business we’re talking about?! What the hell happened to 1.5.4? Or 1.6.0 for that matter?! The simple explanation is that patch version numbers are meaningless and everything is meaningless and time is a flat circle. No matter. Drink more coffee. Maybe splash something extra in it. Cult of the Holy Detonation Cheyenne Entrance: Updated a cryo landmine to let you avoid it more easily when interacting with a nearby chest. We agree, it was a cheap shot. If they die, Boris and Natasha will no longer return from the grave when saving and reloading. Research Level: Adjusted the pacing of the Particle Accelerator combat in the following ways: Increased the armor of the Particle Cannons. Reduced the max enemies that can be on the battlefield at one time while increasing the spawn rate of enemies to improve pacing. The encounter will spawn fewer zealots and evangelists, in favor of spawning more initiates. Security Level: Improvements have been made to Sister Strontium. She’ll pull you in from a more reasonable distance, and the guard there will do a better job of detecting you if called. Improvements have been made to Caul in the Security Level. You’ll no longer get detected by enemies while stuck in his conversation. The Holy Detonation: Resolved an issue where Cultists would occasionally spawn in spaces they couldn’t move out of. Improvements have been made to the final combat encounter; there’s now less chance of being boxed in by enemies while navigating that area. We’ve increased the movement speed of the final boss to make that encounter a bit faster-paced. Nuke Grenades now properly deal explosive damage. They should be MUCH more effective now. The Uranium Sprayer’s special ability now only sprays on enemies, reducing...
