While playing Fallout 4, one player experienced an unlucky encounter with a Radroach that managed to armor itself in a hilariously unexpected way. In Fallout 4, Radroaches are crawling over every corner of the world and need to be dealt with immediately, but this player had a trickier time with extermination than usual.
The world of Fallout 4 is filled with plenty of terrifying, mutated threats waiting to attack, and Radroaches can be some of the nastiest enemies to deal with for those who are prone to fearing bugs. As the name suggests, Radroaches are giant cockroaches that have been mutated by post-war radiation. Although they may not be the most dangerous threat players will encounter in Fallout 4, they can be incredibly quick and startling to come across when one isn't properly prepared to face them.
A Reddit user known as _Mems_ shared a hilarious, but also heart-stopping, encounter with a Radroach that seemingly used a metal waste bin as a makeshift suit of armor. As _Mems_ is getting ready to shoot the Radroach, it runs into the waste bin, saving it from being shot by the player's bullets. Fights with Radroaches can be intense, and this clip is a great example of how sweat-inducing facing one sometimes is, even if it was seemingly a coincidence.
Once the player's shots completely fail to damage the Radroach, _Mems_ immediately bails on trying to finish off the radiated bug, quickly fleeing as the Radroach chases closely behind. The 20-second clip cuts out before it can ever be known whether _Mems_ managed to kill the Radroach or not, but it seems like running away was the best plan of action. There have been some harrowing encounters in Fallout 4, but coming face-to-face with a Radroach wearing DIY trash can armor was probably not something this player expected to come across.
Thanks to the new live-action TV series, the Fallout franchise is seeing a huge surge in popularity. Whether one is a new player or returning to experience the world once again, the various threats and enemy encounters that are faced in the games can really get the adrenaline pumping. It's hard not to find this unlucky Radroach encounter funny, but many who have come across an aggressive Radroach are also fully aware of just how scary it can be. Although the player's fate is uncertain, hopefully they were able to somehow blast through this Radroach's seemingly impenetrable armor.

Greetings, Polygon readers! Each week, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.
Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV show has supercharged excitement in the Fallout IP, leading to a significant surge in player counts across a variety of Fallout titles on Steam, but also for Fallout London, a fan-created mod for Fallout 4 that may as well be an entirely new entry in the series due to the breadth and scope of the project.
Warning: Spoilers for World of Warcraft: The War Within below.
Fallout 76 has hit another impressive milestone as the game manages to reach 1 million consecutive players in a single day. As the online multiplayer entry in the franchise, Fallout 76 has seen a major uptick in player count, and it's now seemingly reached a fever pitch.
The latest update for Minecraftis live with a cute new critter, the Armadillo, along with eight wolf skin variations and the new Wolf Armor item. Available for the Java and Bedrock versions of the game, players will be able to find the Armadillo and new wolves as soon as Minecraft is brought up to date.
Fallout London's developer, Team FOLON, was supposed to be celebrating the long-anticipated launch of its fan game today. However, with Fallout 4's current-gen update just days away from going live, that isn't possible, and the game has been pushed back until fixes are made.
Team Folon’s Dean Carter, project lead on the highly anticipated mod Fallout London, has opened up about how Bethesda’s upcoming Fallout 4 update impacted the studio, saying the team felt “blindsided” by the move.
A Halo Infinite player with a clear affinity for the power armor in the Fallout franchise has designed a set of suits that would let Spartans fit right into post-apocalyptic America. These five different Halo Infinite armor types draw from different designs that both Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave members make use of throughout the Fallout games.
A new fan theory centered around Victor from Fallout: New Vegas makes an interesting connection between the character and Cooper Howard from the live-action series for Amazon Prime. Victor is one of the most unique characters featured in New Vegas, and this theory puts a fascinating spin on the game.
Sales of Fallout games have shot up across Europe, with Fallout 4 reclaiming the No.1 spot.
There is a ton of love right now for the Fallout franchise. Fans can’t get enough of the IP thanks to the recently successful release of Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout. The series adaptation of the franchise launched last week, and fans could sit through all eight episodes as we watched a vault dweller from Vault 33 Surface to the Wasteland. However, for future releases, fans mainly only had Fallout London to look forward to playing. That’s recently changed.
