Fallout: what you should know before watching the series

Since 1997, the Fallout game universe has left a notable mark on the gaming industry and, as was inevitable, has now gained ground in the field of series.

However, before diving into the new series of the Fallout franchise, there is some essential information you should know to make the most of the experience. Here are five things that will prepare you for the wastelands that await you.

5 things you need to know before watching the series

1. The Vault-Tec Legacy

Vault-Tec is much more than just a military technology company. Emerging in 2030, with the help of the government, it has become the beating heart behind the so-called Vaults, nuclear shelters built in the event of nuclear war.

But don’t let the apparent nobility of purpose fool you; Behind the facade of salvation lies a history of cruel and sadistic experiments for the most diverse objectives.

2. The secrets of the Crypts

Behind the steel doors of the Crypts hide dark secrets and inhuman experiments. From annual sacrifices to bloody rebellions, each Vault has its own horror story.

Get ready to discover what really happens inside these seemingly safe havens, built with government help just before the Great War.

3. The post-apocalyptic timeline

The Fallout saga does not take place in a single time period. From the 1950s to the 22nd century, each game in the series explores a different era after the Great War. Knowing the chronology is essential to understanding the context and events of the series.

It’s also important to note: it is after World War II that the world of Fallout takes a different turn from our world, with China becoming the other great world power in place of the Soviet Union.

4. The diversity of mutants:

In addition to humans, the world of Fallout is full of mutants resulting from radiation. From giant insects to deformed humanoid creatures, prepare to encounter a fascinating and frightening array of lifeforms.

Among these are: Super Mutants, Ghouls (who may or may not be irrational and aggressive), Nightkins, Radioactive Scorpions, Giant Flies, Radioactive Cockroaches, Lake Lurkers, etc.

5. The Power of Power Armor:

Don’t be fooled by what appears to be a character, as it’s actually armor: Power Armor. This advanced military technology is critical to survival in a post-apocalyptic world full of deadly dangers.

It is able to incredibly improve physical capabilities using hydraulic systems and servo motors, having thick metal and ceramic plates, it is able to protect against the most varied physical damage, as well as having a pressurized seal with an air filtration system, for protect its user from the most intense biological and radioactive dangers, being a mobile fortress.

Now, with this information in mind, prepare to embark on an epic journey through the wastelands of Fallout, where danger lurks around every corner and survival is the only rule that matters.
