Highlights

  • A Fallout-themed Jeep based on Vault-Tec was spotted in real life.
  • The Fallout franchise enjoys a resurgence in popularity thanks to Amazon series, sparking interest in games new and old.
  • The wait for Fallout 5 will be a long one, unfortunately.

An amazing real-life Fallout-themed Jeep based on Vault-Tec has been spotted in the wild. Fallout has been more popular than ever over the past few months since its critically acclaimed Amazon TV series hit Prime Video in April. As a result of the show's success, all of Bethesda's Fallout games have enjoyed massive player spikes, including Fallout 76, which has just received its Skyline Valley update which expands Appalachia for the first time in the game's nearly six-year history.

Amazon's Fallout series reignited the fanbase and launched the franchise back into relevancy as talk of the show and the games took over the internet in the weeks following. Having introduced an expertly written trio of new characters in Vault 33's Lucy MacLean, the Brotherhood of Steel's Maximus, and an irradiated Ghoul with an interesting past to say the least, the show has fans eager to see what these characters get up to next. Many feel the show did an excellent job establishing the world of its irradiated LA wasteland, setting the stage for a second season, which had been confirmed shortly after season 1 went live on Prime Video.

Fallout 76 Fan Has Creepy Encounter With Another Player

A Fallout 76 player comes across an unsettling sight, which turns out to be another gamer, while running around post-apocalyptic West Virginia.

One Fallout fan came across another's impressive Vault-Tec inspired Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in real life. In the Fallout subreddit, Ninjallammas posted an image of the front of the Jeep, which is covered with Vault-Tec's powder blue with light yellow accents in the grille and fenders. A yellow Vault-Tec logo can be found on the Jeep's hood and driver-side door, with Vault Boy giving his iconic thumbs-up pose on the rear door.

Fallout Fan Creates Vault-Tec Themed Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

While there's no license plate on the front of the Jeep, if there is one on the rear, it's a safe-bet it's also Fallout-coded. In the Fallout universe, Vault-Tec is the corporation behind the testing and construction of all the vaults found throughout the Fallout games. While the games do well to highlight the shady practices and questionable intentions of Vault-Tec, the Amazon series does this tenfold.

As impressive as this Fallout-inspired Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is, the road to Fallout 5 will still be a long one as Bethesda Game Studios is hard at work on The Elder Scrolls 6, which is likely several years away at the very least. In the meantime, fans will be able to get their Fallout fix with the continuation of the Amazon show and with additional yearly updates to Fallout 76. Perhaps Bethesda will surprise fans with a Fallout 3 or New Vegas remaster, or maybe even a new smaller game from another Xbox studio, though nothing has been officially confirmed.
