Fallout Lore | The iconic "railway rifle", A gun that according to established lore, Shouldn't even exist in Fallout 76. |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2020 06:36 AM PST If I've confused anyone, Allow me to explain. The lore of this weapon is odd, and causes a some minor lore problems with FO76. In fallout 3, There's a terminal on who came up with the concept of this choo choo gun and it's creation, - Seagrave Holmes, A Merchant\inventor, Who lives in rivet city. The terminal states the following - "Had an idea for a survival weapon. There are all these railroad spikes laying around the wasteland. I ought to be able to build some sort of slingshot to fire them like bullets. I tried some really big rubber bands, but that didn't work. I wonder if I could use steam as a power source?" Then Ta-Da, He came up with the design and basic concept of the weapon, It spread to other parts of the wasteland from there. Now enter fallout 76, 145 years, before Holmes is even born... So...Someone in WV came up with this weapon, Not Holmes...They even have ultracite railway spikes just for this weapon. But how? Fallout 3 established Holmes is the sole, the only and original creator of the railway rifle... I'd love to hear what you all think about this. [link] [comments] |
| Why hasn't the Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion spread into West Virginia? Posted: 05 Dec 2020 08:04 AM PST Given that the Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion is caused by a combination of radiation, which all of the wasteland has plenty of, and unique pollutants from the Pitt, why hasn't it spread into West Virginia or other parts of the Eastern Commonwealth? Given that the Pitt is no more than 30 miles from Clarksburg, air pollutants would likely spread south and there would be instances of Troglodation, even if with lessened effects. Even if it didn't spread very far, and was only found around the general area of the Toxic Valley, I feel like there would be something. Is there anything in lore that could explain why it hasn't spread south? [link] [comments] |
