A Fallout 4 player has discovered that the Lunchboxes in the game have faces in them after nearly 9 years of playing. Fallout 4 has been out since 2015, and players continue to find unique details in the game to this day.

As one of the mainline entries in the Fallout franchise, Fallout 4 features items and callbacks to earlier games. This includes Nuka-Cola, Power Armor, Stimpaks, and Vault-Tec Lunchboxes. The Lunchboxes are included in every central Fallout title, as well as the Fallout Shelter mobile game. While Lunchboxes serve a different purpose in some games, they're typically a miscellaneous item that has a unique animation. Players can use the Fallout 76 Lunchbox as a consumable item that provides a 25% XP boost and a random party buff that lasts for an hour. One gamer has discovered an interesting detail in the Fallout 4 Lunchboxes that may be difficult to ignore.

Fallout 4 Super Mutant Head Gets Stuck Mid-Explosion

A Fallout 4 Super Mutant fights the player and ends up in a sorry state, with its head stuck mid-explosion, much to the amusement of fans.

Reddit user TuxedoFist recently shared a zoomed-in Fallout 4 screenshot focusing on an opened Vault-Tec Lunchbox. Due to the limited scope of the image, it's only clear that it was taken in Fallout 4 based on the Lunchboxes design and color scheme. The unlatched Lunchbox would've shot confetti and made a noisemaker sound when it was opened, but it's a detail within the item that this player spotlights. Inside the Lunchbox on the bottom's surface, a cartoon caricature of a face can be seen, including details like hair, nose, teeth, eyes, and eyebrows. As the Fallout 4 Vault-Tec miscellaneous item is small, many players may have passed by an opened one without a second glance, but this may give them a reason to pause before leaving an area.

Where Can These Fallout 4 Lunchboxes Be Found?

Gamers can find the Lunchbox in various locations around Fallout 4's Boston Commonwealth, including the Beantown Brewery, Boston Bugle building, and Bunker Hill. While they may be difficult to spot in some areas, players may wish to acquire them to start a collection for one of their Settlements. As the Lunchbox is primarily an aesthetic item, gamers with limited inventory space may pass them by, but this unique detail may encourage them to make space for the miscellaneous loot. Beyond the look of the Lunchbox itself, some gamers may wish to display the faces themselves, and some items may contain different cartoons than others.

While many gamers may have paid no mind to the Lunchboxes they loot, a Bethesda developer may have put these faces in the item for someone to eventually discover. As Fallout 4 contains many Easter eggs, this Lunchbox detail could be among the obscure references. With this revealed detail, a race to collect every Lunchbox variant may ensue.
