Welcome to Nukapedia + The Vault Fallout Wiki
The definitive Fallout wiki with 37,457 articles
We are creating the ultimate guide to the Fallout series, and you can help!

Introduction
Fallout is a franchise of post-apocalyptic computer role-playing games created by Interplay Entertainment. Originally envisioned as a sequel to Wasteland using Steve Jackson's GURPS, Fallout eventually matured into something entirely its own: A mature post-nuclear setting with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, powered by the home-brewed SPECIAL system. Its unique visual identity draws on countless sources, from 1930s Art Deco, through 1950s Americana, to 80s and 90s classics like Mad Max or The City of Lost Children.

The series encompasses six role-playing titles in the series (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76) and several spin-offs, including a squad-based tactical combat game (Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel), an action RPG dungeon-crawler for PlayStation 2 and Xbox (Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel), a vault simulation game (Fallout Shelter), and several tabletop games (Fallout: The Board Game, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare Roleplaying Game, and the discontinued Fallout Warfare).

Schematics.png
Schematics and the use of a workbench allow one to assemble makeshift weapons and powerful improvised explosive devices out of wasteland junk and pre-War relics. Additional schematics improve your understanding of the production design by filling in knowledge gaps, caused over the years by stains, creases and smudged sections. Every one you find past the first allows you to make a better version. Additional schematics do not increase damage, but they do bring a durability bonus to weapons, and allow for more efficient production of homemade explosives. With Schematic V3.0 of the Nuka-grenade, or bottlecap mine a maximum of three explosives can be produced from a single set of components.

[edit]Did you know...

... that the imposter sheepsquatch was created to lower property prices in Lewisburg?

... that Vault City's medical center is the best one available in the Wasteland outside the Enclave or the Brotherhood of Steel?

... that Fallout is a spiritual successor to Interplay's 1988 game Wasteland?

... that both Jared Gresham and Evan are named after real-life Fallout fans who passed away?

... that there is a hidden camp at Takoma Park in Fallout 3?
