Atx playericon prideprogress
LGBT representation in the Fallout series dates back to Fallout 2, released in 1998. Fallout is a landmark series for LGBT+ representation, for which it has received considerable praise. Fallout 2 was the first mainstream video game in western markets to feature same-sex marriage. Fallout 3, released in 2008, was among the first games to feature adoption by a same-sex couple, with Carol and Greta being the mothers of Gob. Fallout: New Vegas (2010) put considerable focus on sexuality within its plot, with its factions holding various viewpoints; many of its characters, including companions Arcade Gannon and Veronica Santangelo, are gay. Fallout 76 (2018) featured the series' first non-binary characters, Burke and Orlando.

FO76ETP Orlando
Orlando is the mysterious manager of the Whitespring Resort in Appalachia in Fallout 76, introduced in the Expeditions: The Pitt update. Orlando claims to be a liasion for the similarly enigmatic Management of the Whitespring and assists the Responders in their efforts to establish a refuge in the resort. Appearing suddenly at the Whitespring Resort around 2104, coinciding with the rebirth of the Responders, Orlando is a secretive person tasked by the Management with supporting Responder operations and distributing ultracells to the leaders of the new community. They oversee the robotic staff and ensure the Whitspring remains habitable, distribute resources granted by their employers (food, medicine, materials, the aforementioned ultracells), and other necessary arrangements. They are the second non-binary character introduced in the Fallout series.

Doctor Duff
Doctor Duff is a resident of Diamond City in Fallout 4. The open and easy-going Doctor Duff is the public face of the Science! Center in Diamond City, responsible for interacting with visitors and schoolchildren on field trips. She is a treasure trove of knowledge, particularly relating to biology, and does not shy away from sharing it with anyone willing to listen. She is also very absent-minded and impulsive; someone who would start a project and have to apologize if it got in someone's way. She is in a committed lesbian relationship with her partner at the Science! Center, Professor Scara. During the quest Liberty Reprimed, Duff will ask the Sole Survivor to rescue Professor Scara from the General Atomics Galleria.

Arcade Gannon
Arcade Gannon is a doctor in the Followers of the Apocalypse at Old Mormon Fort and a possible companion in Fallout: New Vegas. Arcade was an only child, the son of an officer in the Enclave, and was born at the Navarro military base. Gannon credits the Followers of the Apocalypse for his knowledge base, including having received his medical training from the group while he lived within the NCR. His drive to help people and enjoyment of learning led him to move to the New Vegas area, where communities were especially in need of assistance. Arcade is openly gay, one of two companions who identify as such, the other being Veronica Santangelo.

Veronica Santangelo
Veronica Santangelo is a journeyman scribe in the Brotherhood of Steel and a possible companion in Fallout: New Vegas. Veronica is responsible for acquiring supplies for the Hidden Valley bunker along with the other duties of a scribe, but relishes her time above ground and to explore life outside of the bunker. However, Veronica has become increasingly irritated by what she sees in the Brotherhood of Steel's strict adherence to the Codex and its unrealistic and uninformed views of themselves and the world. Veronica is a perpetual outsider caught between her loyalty to the Brotherhood and troubling doubts about the validity of their current course. She was once the lover of Christine Royce.

8 June[]

FO01 NPC Rhombus B
Rhombus is the head paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout. He assumed this position when the previous head paladin, John Maxson, became the new high elder after his father was killed by the Vipers. The paladins, now led by Rhombus, began a full scale campaign against the Vipers, tracking them down and wiping out almost all of their members within the span of a month. An intimidating presence, Rhombus is not one for conversation and, if angered, he will kick the Vault Dweller out of the Brotherhood of Steel. He promises to train the Vault Dweller once the super mutant threat is removed.

FONV Poseidon Energy Logo
Poseidon Energy was a pre-War energy conglomerate that operated a number of oil rigs, factories, refineries, gas stations, and power plants and with further operations in military defense contracts. It was not a single, monolithic company, but was rather a cartel of various Poseidon-owned corporations controlling various aspects of the global energy market. The corporation operated a number of subsidiaries, which focused on different aspects of the global energy market, including Poseidon Gasoline, Poseidon Oil and the Mexican branch Petró-Chico. It is mentioned in every main canonical Fallout game.

10 June[]

Chem jet
Jet is a powerful and highly addictive chem commonly found throughout the wasteland. It is extracted from brahmin dung fumes and commonly administered via an inhaler. Although first available before the Great War in a different form, in the first half of the 23rd century, Myron developed Jet into a highly marketable commodity and tool for the enslavement of Redding by the Mordinos of New Reno. Even after the death of Myron and subsequent fall of the Mordinos from relevancy, Jet's availability, replicability, and popularity developed exponentially. The introduction of the Jet antidote would barely slow its wide effect and appeal on both the West Coast and the East Coast of the former United States.

11 June[]

FO01 NPC Tandi B
Tandi is the daughter of Aradesh, leader of Shady Sands and the future founder and second president of the New California Republic. In Fallout, she is a feisty, albeit naive, young woman pining for some excitement, which she gets when she is kidnapped by the Khans under Garl Death-Hand and then rescued by the Vault Dweller. She went on to help found the nation known as the New California Republic, and became its second president after the disappearance of her father. More pragmatic in her old age, she engaged in political maneuvering through methods of peaceful expansion, though she faced opposition near the end of her presidency in the mid-2200s during Fallout 2, when she was very elderly but still spry. Her legacy is discussed in Fallout: New Vegas, contrasting with the much more imperialistic, aggressive Republic that emerged since her passing.

12 June[]

GunnerSymbol
The Gunners are a ruthless mercenary organization that operates in the Commonwealth and Nuka-World in Fallout 4. The Gunners are most known for their no prisoners mindset and have been known to wipe out entire settlements, like common raiders, but are better organized and equipped. No job is too brutal for them to undertake, provided the pay is right. As a result, while Gunners claim to be soldiers for hire, they have a well-earned reputation throughout the Commonwealth for being a highly militarized gang of thugs with combat training considered equivalent to the Brotherhood of Steel. Perhaps the most heinous crime the Gunners perpetrated was the Quincy Massacre, when they attacked the southern settlement in force and the settlers' desperate defense could not withstand the Gunners' onslaught.

13 June[]

Bysshe Logo
The Bysshe Company, also called Bysshe Energy Co., was a pre-War company in the energy sector. In 2077, it operated the research vessel USS Ozymandias and acquired rights in the area of Point Lookout to probe for natural gas resources. It also developed a powerful Assaultron unit, the Imposter Sheepsquatch. The company also maintained a historic train tunnel near the town of Harpers Ferry, to which the town readily agreed. This seemingly altruistic act allowed them to secretly construct an illegal underground pipeline within the tunnel. Some of Bysshe's employees included researcher Caroline Saunders, as well as Calvin van Lowe (later known as Aries), and a corporate fixer known by the codename Big Bad Wolf. They are mentioned in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout, as well as Fallout 76.

Tales from the West Virginia Hills collage
Tales from the West Virginia Hills was a magazine series and radio play before the Great War, featured in Fallout 76. Each issue featured stories about different monsters and cryptids from Appalachian folklore. Written by Steven H. Patterson, the stories detail people who have come into contact with these creatures. Each is set out in a simple formula: the first holotape describes the protagonist(s) being set up to encounter a monster, with the second holotape covering the encounter before ending on a sinister, ominously vague note. The cover art for the magazine depicts the monster of each issue and the would-be victim(s). Reading an issue of Tales from the West Virginia Hills will temporarily give the player character a damage bonus specific to the cryptid featured in the issue.

Fo1 .223 Pistol
The .223 pistol is a weapon in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. In Fallout, it is a unique weapon made by Irwin by cutting down the size of a .223 rifle. It is gifted as a reward for the quest Help Irwin in the Hub. In Fallout 2, a mass-produced variant of the pistol is purchasable in NCR, New Reno (from the special stock at New Reno Arms), San Francisco or it can be acquired in a random encounter. In Fallout: New Vegas, it is a unique weapon known as That Gun. The 5.56mm pistol in Gun Runners' Arsenal is its common variant, itself a pared-down and modified .223 pistol.

16 June[]

Fo4swan
Swan is a unique super mutant behemoth living in Swan's Pond, the center of the Boston Common in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. He was once a human known as Edgar Swann, a low level Institute worker who was caught stealing cigarettes. He believed his trial worked out in his favor, offered "probation" in the form of living in isolation for a month, provided with food, water, and shelter, only requiring him to write in a journal. Unbeknownst to Swann, he had been infected with FEV and the probation he accepted was a ruse to observe the effects. A slowly mutating Swann was eventually exiled to the surface, where he made his way to Boston Common. It was here that he finally lost his mind to his mutation, eventually creating armor from the ruined swan boats of the pond, having turned into a super mutant behemoth by 2287.

Icon Diamond City Blues
Diamond City Blues is a side quest in Fallout 4. The quest starts in Diamond City, where the Sole Survivor must help Paul Pembroke deal with Henry Cooke, the barkeeper of the Colonial Taphouse, and then intercept a drug deal in order to gain access to a chem lab. The quest has a wide range of options and variability with several post-quest interactions; depending on choices made during Diamond City Blues, it may also lead to a follow-up quest. Other characters involved the quest include Darcy Pembroke, Paul's cheating wife; Marowski, a Goodneighbor crime boss and chem supplier; as well as Nelson and Malcolm Latimer of Diamond City's Upper Stands.

Fo1 Shady Good Ending
Shady Sands is the capital of the New California Republic and one of its largest cities. It is also the largest known urban center built from scratch, without using pre-War ruins as the foundation, boasting a population of over 3000 inhabitants by 2241. In Fallout, it is a small but thriving settlement, completely self-sufficient. In the period between 2161 and 2241, the small settlement grew and expanded, forming one of the most influential political factions to emerge in the post-war United States, the New California Republic (NCR). Tandi, the daughter of founder Aradesh, eventually rose to the title of president of the sprawling Republic. Following the establishment of the NCR, the city expanded rapidly. In Fallout 2, it is known as the town of NCR and is part of the Republic's state of Shady.

Fo4-silver-shroud-portrait
The Silver Shroud is a fictional character and the protagonist of the the Silver Shroud franchise created by Hubris Comics. He is a mysterious vigilante who prowls the streets of Boston, targeting criminals across the city. He is always depicted wearing a long black trench coat with a scarf, typically silver or bright red, a black fedora, and wielding a silver submachine gun as his preferred weapon. Apart from his own franchise, his relative popularity (especially in the Boston area) led to his inclusion in the Unstoppables comic book with other Hubris Comics properties. A TV show was in planning stages in late 2077 but did not make it to filming because of the Great War. The character was introduced in Fallout 4 and is also mentioned in Fallout 76.

20 June[]

Landscape-E3-Fallout76
Appalachia is the game world and primary setting of Fallout 76. The name is generally used to refer to what was once the pre-War state of West Virginia. Appalachia is a region with a rich history, and one closely associated with the mining industry, which led to it being a center stage for the automation riots of the mid-21st century, even as pre-War powers such as Governor Evans cracked down on labor unions and workers' rights activists. Although it was spared from most of the destruction and carnage of the Great War due to its relative isolation and lack of strategic targets, much of the surviving human population nonetheless perished over the following years due to the Scorched Plague. In 2102, Vault Dwellers emerged into Appalachia after 25 years of isolation inside Vault 76 and began to reclaim the wilderness. In 2103, survivors from the surrounding regions arrived in Appalachia and began to resettle it.

21 June[]

Nuka-Cola ad pre-trailer
Nuka-Cola is the flagship product of the Nuka-Cola Corporation and one of the symbols of United States culture. Introduced in 2044, it rapidly dominated the soft drink market, eventually becoming the most popular soda on the market and a staple of American culture. Bottled and distributed nationwide, Nuka-Cola was available in such numbers that even two centuries after the Great War put a stop to all major bottling operations, Nuka-Cola bottles can still be found in the wastelands in large quantities. In the aftermath of the Great War, Nuka-Cola bottle caps became the de facto currency in most post-War societies.

22 June[]

Highwayman
The Highwayman is the only working vehicle usable by the player character in Fallout 2. The Chryslus Motors Highwayman boasts a full analog system, 800+ horsepower, 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in less than a second, as well as a sizeable trunk and spacious interior. It is also able to accommodate the entire party of the Chosen One, from Marcus to Skynet. The functional Highwayman featured in Fallout 2 can be found in the Den. Its missing part, the fuel cell controller, can be found in Gecko. The battery can be charged with either microfusion cells or small energy cells.

23 June[]

FO3 Point Lookout banner
Point Lookout is the fourth add-on for Fallout 3, developed and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was first released on June 23, 2009. In this add-on, the Lone Wanderer travels to Point Lookout, a swampland area outside the Capital Wasteland which, although not having been hit directly by the bombs, the world has left behind. The main quest line of Point Lookout centers on a centuries-long conflict between the ghoul Desmond Lockheart and his old rival, Professor Calvert, with a tribal group led by Jackson in the middle of it all. To reach Point Lookout, the Lone Wanderer takes a trip on a steamboat known as the Duchess Gambit, ferried by the mysterious Tobar.

24 June[]

Botlcaps
Bottle caps, also referred to as caps for short, are the standard currency in Fallout, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and Fallout Shelter. Durable, portable, and instantly recognizable, bottle caps (predominantly from Nuka-Cola) rapidly became one of the most common currencies accepted by traders in the post-War United States. They were adopted early on in both New California and Appalachia, with both coasts having a different reason: in the Hub, caps were backed by the regional Water Merchants as an anti-counterfeiting measure, while in Appalachia, they were the result of a pre-War promotional event at the Whitespring Resort using Nuka-Cola caps, spreading into the rest of the region.

FNV Mr House Screen
Robert Edwin House (born June 25, 2020) is the self-styled president, CEO and sole proprietor of the New Vegas Strip in the Mojave Wasteland. House is foremost responsible for the founding of RobCo Industries, the creation of Mr. New Vegas, and civilizing the New Vegas casino tribes. Mr. House plays a major role in Fallout: New Vegas, in which he serves as the questgiver for one of four major endgame options. House successfuly defended Las Vegas during the Great War using the Lucky 38's defense systems, and, following an extensive coma, oversaw the revitalization of New Vegas using a vast army of Securitrons. An enigmatic figure in the wasteland, House is, in reality, a cyborg who has stayed alive for over 200 years via cryonics, though he chooses to represent himself through computer screens.

26 June[]

RobCo logo
RobCo Industries was a computer and robotics technology corporation founded by Robert House before the Great War. It quickly became one of the largest and most influential computer and robotics corporations in the pre-War United States. The corporation developed an operating system for computer terminals, and designed and manufactured several models of robots. These flagship robots were sold to both the average American, as well as the United States military through defense contracts. In the mid-21st century, RobCo Industries partnered with the Vault-Tec Corporation. Under the terms of the partnership, RobCo designed and manufactured a personal information processor for Vault residents, known as the Pip-Boy.

27 June[]

Marcus
Marcus is an elderly super mutant sheriff, first leading the town of Broken Hills in New California and later becoming the mayor of Jacobstown in the Mojave Wasteland. A survivor of the Unity, his once fervent dedication to the Master's cause has since softened into a more tolerant attitude. A burly old mutant with a weary cast to his face, Marcus' toughness and vigor seem at odds with his long history and fundamental belief in the goodness of people, which helps him be a charismatic leader. He does not have any regrets about his transformation into a mutant. In fact, he prefers his existence as a super mutant, as he is free of the petty character flaws regular humans suffer from. He appears in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas.

28 June[]

FO4NW Porter Gage
Porter Gage is a member of the raider gangs of Nuka-World near the Commonwealth, as well as a possible companion in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka World. Gage abandoned his family of poor farmers at age 12 to become a raider, and was at one point involved with a gang led by Connor "The Harvester". He eventually became associated with Colter, as his trusted advisor. Gage advised Colter to lead the Disciples, the Operators and the Pack to storm Nuka-World and take it over for themselves. However, Gage and the other raiders have become dissatisfied with Colter's poor leadership and complacence. When the Sole Survivor arrives at the Gauntlet, Gage gives them an advantage to defeat Colter and become the new Overboss.

29 June[]

Fo1 Boneyard Townmap
The Boneyard is what remains of Los Angeles, given its nickname from the skeletal skyscrapers still standing in the ruins of this once huge city. Appearing in Fallout, the Boneyard is home to gun runners, gangs and various cultists. The headquarters of Vault-Tec was located somewhere in pre-War Los Angeles, and a demonstration Vault was built elsewhere in the city. This Vault is home to the Master in Fallout, situated below the Cathedral, itself home to the Children of the Cathedral. The largest concentration of people in the Boneyard live in a "suburb" called Adytum.

30 June[]

Flag of the USSR
The Soviet Union, also known as Russia, was a communist country that existed before the Great War. Unlike the real world, the Soviet Union never collapsed in the Fallout universe, though its status as a communist power was greatly eclipsed by that of China. Although relations between the United States and the Soviet Union were slightly better compared to China, it was still considered a potential enemy among the U.S. military and treated as a land of forced labor camps, enforced austerity, and a source of spies trying to obtain national secrets. Soviet citizens were also present in American organized crime.
