Fallout 4's new trailer for Far Harbor DLC offers several clues regarding the forthcoming add-on. According to reports, the new DLC is the game's most significant add-on to date.

The Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC is set in the foggy coasts of the Bar Harbor, Maine, with a landmass that is larger than the Shivering Isles of Oblivion. The DLC features massive content, which includes new faction quests, armor and weapons, monstrosities, settlements and more. The trailer offers a quick look of what seems to be an old form of diving suit, which is likely to confirm of an underwater mission.

Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC is also expected to have a sizable sect of the Children of Atom that worships at a nuclear power plant. The area will feature plenty of environmental factors, like the heavy volumetric fog, stormy waves and steady rainstorms, according to  Tweak Town.

In addition to this, the trailer will show the new ferocious monsters, with one looking like a frightening angler fish and the other, a giant Mantis-looking creature that can smash with its claws. Also, the new set of armor is featured, with some new weapons, majority of which must be of higher-grade parts.

As for the underwater exploration, the trailer did not reveal any clues about the style or locations. Previously, a secret harpoon gun was successfully found in the code of Fallout 4, which means that the game used to have some form of an underwater setting. That being said, the new DLC may likely include a harpoon gun, although it may the diving suit may not be used for any underwater gameplay.

Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC is set for release on May 19 on the PC, Xbox One and PS4. The new add-on is expected to be priced at $25, while the Fallout 4 season pass holders are reported to enjoy the new DLC for free, IGN reported.
