Continuing the trend of Animal Crossing: New Horizons players recreating iconic TV scenes, one player has made an incredible lab based on the one Walter White used in the hit series Breaking Bad. Though Breaking Bad wrapped up back in 2013, it maintains a large fan base, with this Animal Crossing: New Horizons player celebrating their fandom in-game.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has shattered franchise records by selling 42.2 million copies as of March 2023. With New Horizons garnering such a large audience, it's no surprise there have been impressive fan-made creations shared by the community.
Reddit user TonyClifton323 recently shared a screenshot of what appears to be the upstairs room of their Animal Crossing: New Horizons house which has been revamped to resemble one of Walter White's labs in Breaking Bad. While Walter White doubled in Breaking Bad as a high school chemistry teacher, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons lab shares more visible similarities with the illegal operations that he ran, notably the one funded by Gus Fring. Mimicking the industrial design of the Breaking Bad lab, TonyClifton323 has used furniture like an amazing machine, inspection equipment, an operating room cart, meter and pipes, an unknown machine, a white tank, and some wall-mounted fans.
Going beyond the industrial items used to reflect the Breaking Bad lab setting, TonyClifton323's Animal Crossing: New Horizons creation features a whiteboard, fly model, tarantula, and multiple tables with chemistry sets and one electronics kit on them. Representing the blue drug that Breaking Bad's Walter White was known for, TonyClifton323 has included a blue star piece next to a microscope which was often used in the AMC series to gauge the purity of the product. TonyClifton323 has also made sure to customize their Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager to look like Walter White, donning an orange jumpsuit, double-bridge glasses, and a bald cap.
Although TonyClifton323 didn't express how long the Breaking Bad creation took or how many Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bells it cost to put together, it's likely that it took some time to acquire all the furniture pieces required to make Walter White's lab. While the upstairs level of TonyClifton323's Animal Crossing: New Horizons home has been converted into this lab, it's currently unclear if they intend to expand into other rooms or the rest of their village with more Breaking Bad-inspired sets.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for Nintendo Switch.
