Benjamin Burnley turned a recent Breaking Benjamin concert in Holmdel, New Jersey, into a very public appeal for his Fallout 4 mod. The singer spent more than four minutes asking the audience to download True First Person after saying another modder had bullied him over the quality of his work.

“There was a modder in the community that was really mean to me and bullying me,” Burnley told the crowd. He said he was making the request at every show in hopes of pushing his mod’s download count above the other creator’s.
Venue staff put the mod’s details on the concert screens, while at least one attendee shouted for the band to play some music. Burnley kept going, asking fans to download the project from Nexus Mods and later telling them to wait for his next update before installing it. He also encouraged people who do not play games or have much interest in Fallout 4 to download the mod and help it gain attention.
What True First Person changes in Fallout 4
True First Person replaces Fallout 4‘s usual first-person view of floating arms with a rendered version of the player’s full body. Looking down reveals the character’s legs, clothing, and equipped gear, while third-person gameplay remains unchanged.
Interactions such as workstations and power armor remain in first person instead of forcing the camera out. The project runs as an F4SE plugin and does not use an ESP, plugin slot, or scripts, according to the mod’s Nexus Mods page.
Burnley publishes the mod under the Nexus Mods username “killemloud.” The True First Person listing carries an “AI assisted” tag, and the project showed a Sunday update after the concert. Early comments focused heavily on the unusual promotion, so the mod’s reception as a piece of Fallout 4 work is still harder to judge.
Burnley’s frustration came from feedback he said crossed the line from criticism into bullying. He argued that mod creators should be able to improve an early version through feedback instead of being attacked for it.
Breaking Benjamin already has a gaming connection
This is not the band’s first connection to video games. Breaking Benjamin recorded “Blow Me Away” for the Halo 2 soundtrack in 2004, and the song played during the “Gravemind” mission. Burnley’s Fallout 4 project gives that gaming history a much stranger follow-up, this time with the musician promoting his own mod from a concert stage.
