Fallout Fan Points Out Funny Bobblehead Plot Hole
07.04.2024 - 22:33 / gamerant.com / Clayton Cyre
A Fallout fan has pointed out that the Barter Bobblehead features a Bottle Cap in its hand despite the item being manufactured before the apocalyptic war. Many Fallout items reference the era before the atomic bombs dropped, but this one may be a major plot hole.
As players explore the post-apocalyptic landscape of the Fallout games, they will come across items that vary in their usefulness. One item is called Pre-war Currency, and it represents cash that was used before the 2077 nuclear attack. Vault-Tec is a well-known company in the game for the vaults that it created to both conduct experiments and help citizens survive the bombs and ride out the ensuing nuclear fallout. The games typically start in these vaults and players experience different ways that Vault-Tec inspired the post-war world. Among these are Fallout Bobbleheads, which each provide stat bonuses. One Bobblehead seems to highlight a plot hole, as the Barter Bobblehead is holding a Bottle Cap rather than Pre-war Currency.
Reddit user Swaggy124 recently shared an image of the Fallout Wiki spotlighting the Barter Bobblehead that can be acquired in Fallout 4. In both games, the Bobblehead is shown holding a Bottle Cap above its head, despite the post-war currency not being used for bartering when Vault-Tec would have manufactured it. Bottle Caps replaced Pre-war Currency in the Fallout universe in 2093 when cash lost its value. The characters in the post-apocalyptic world valued Bottle Caps instead due to their abundance and durability, and Nuka-Cola's nostalgic influence.
Given the Barter Bobblehead's perplexing inclusion of the Bottle Cap, players have a few theories regarding the potential plot hole. One fan has suggested that Fallout's Vault-Tec was paid by Nuka-Cola or Sunset Sarsaparilla to create the Bobblehead. Alternatively, it's possible that this Bobblehead was initially meant to reflect something else, but was altered to mimic the Barter item given the Bottle Cap's status as currency in the post-war world. Bobbleheads are conspicuously missing fromNew Vegas, but players can enhance their abilities with skill magazines like Fixin' Things and the Patriot's Cookbook.
Although there are theories about why Fallout 4's Barter Bobblehead is holding a Bottle Cap, it still hasn't been addressed by Bethesda. Given that there are rumors of Fallout 3 Remastered, and Fallout 5 has been vaguely confirmed, perhaps this plot hole may be fixed by the developer in a future release.
Fallout is a post-apocalyptic RPG franchise created by Interplay Entertainment and developed by Black Isle Studios, before Bethesda Softworks took over the IP in 2004. The series features a retrofuturistic style following a nuclear war that devastated the game's

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 contains several great Easter eggs, but one fan recently pointed out a missed opportunity to include a real-life tribute to one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. While Insomniac’s Spider-Man games are in a separate continuity from other recent Marvel titles like Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, they still feature clever nods to other famous heroes like Black Panther and Doctor Strange. While exploring the open world of New York City, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players can visit the Wakanda Embassy and Avengers Tower — and can even pay their respects to late MCU actor Chadwick Boseman at the former.

Fallout: London, the Fallout 4 mod set in a post-apocalyptic English capital that’s large enough to effectively be its own game, has been hit by an indefinite delay just two weeks from its planned release date. The reason? Fallout 4’s long-in-the-works next-gen update is now due to drop just two days after London’s planned launch date, which its fan devs say will “simply break” the ambitious project.
