Welcome to Nukapedia + The Vault Fallout Wiki
The definitive Fallout wiki with 37,164 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 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).

G ant.gif
Giant ants are the effect of nuclear fallout mutating regular ants. They live in dark places, often underground. . What they lack in individual fortitude, they make up for with relentless attacks and swarm tactics. Their exoskeleton isn't particularly thick, but it can turn aside weak punches and dull knives. Their mandibles can cut through most leather and plastic with ease, even snapping bone on a lucky shot. Giant ants become particularly aggressive when their queen is threatened.

[edit]Did you know...

... that by 2281, Robert House is 261 years old?

... that Morpheus used to be a ganger for the Rippers?

... that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is one of the few old world religions to survive the Great War?

... that the settlement of Megaton is constructed nearly entirely out of salvaged airplane parts from a nearby airfield?

... that you can make Jo cut off his finger?

... that when Julie found Appalachia Radio, it was days away from breaking down and repeating "Anything Goes" on loop?

... that there is a submerged T-Rex in the water east of Point Lookout?

Wiki news

Vote Closed

Following the day's events on Discord, I am rescinding my request. For those unfamiliar with what has transpired, I will summarize here.

This morning at about 8 AM EST, I was contacted by an anonymous Discord user by the name "I Know." This user threatened to reveal my identity and address if I did not end this vote. At the time, I figured this to be an empty threat and called his bluff. I told a handful of trusted friends and others about the incident, and one of them discussed it with the admins. The warning was mostly ignored, and those that did respond called it a fake. Unfortunately, I had called a bluff when in fact there was none.

The same account, or an account of identical name, entered the chat at around 7:40 PM EST and delivered on his promise. He posted my full name and address. Although immediately deleted and the account banned, I do not feel chat moderator privileges are worth the potential danger of the situation and feel unsafe remaining in chat for the time being. Although I have my suspicions about certain character's involvements, I trust the staff will proceed with a thorough and proper investigation into the matter.

For those of you who want to see for yourself, I have created an imgur album with the relevant (censored) images here.

Note: There is a zero tolerance policy on doxxing on this wiki and on Fandom in general. When we find out who is responsible, they and anyone who aided and abetted this behavior will receive a permanent, global ban with no appeals. This behavior is unacceptable.

Introduction

Hey guys, it’s Laat again! Happy holidays and all that. But this is serious. This time I’m back and better than ever running for chat mod. Or dare I say… Chaat Mod? My approach to this, much like a good stool, stands on three legs.
