The Settlers’ newest outpost is overrun by Super Mutants! They have put out a request to evict these Super Mutants and defend their Rad Scrubber, an invention that cleans the area’s radiation! In Eviction Notice, players will face off against an overwhelming Super Mutant counterattack who have zero interest in giving up their new home.
