Fallout seems to be at an all-time high, especially now that it’s coming to Fortnite in Chapter Five, season three.

After a season dominated by the gods, goddesses, and creatures of Ancient Greek mythology, Fortnite is headed for a post-apocalyptic setting in its next season. Speculations of Mad Max were quickly shut down when Epic Games tweeted a thumbs-up and a wink, which is a direct nod to Fallout’s iconic Vault Boy. Now, every gamer and fan of the adaptation can’t wait to exit their vaults and relive the best parts of Fallout in Fortnite. Here are some of the emotes, skins, cosmetics, and NPCs we would love to see in this collab.
Vault Dweller skin
The Vault Dweller outfit is iconic. Thanks to the hit Fallout TV series, you can’t see a blue-and-yellow suit without thinking of Fallout.
The Fortnite x Fallout collab needs a Vault Dweller skin to feel complete. Fingers crossedthat theypay tribute to Fallout’s character creation by making the Vault Dweller skin as customizable as Joltara.
Power Armor
Noone would use the Power Armor skin in Battle Royale or Zero Build modes unless they were banking on pure intimidation to win. But if an in-game item included a flying perk, I’d grab it without hesitation.Sure, the faction might not be the friendliest, buttheirarmor is undeniably the coolest.
Nuka Cola consumable
A 500 V-bucks emote where our characters uncork and chug a Nuka Cola would be epic. But a Nuka Cola consumable is a must-have for the Fortnite x Fallout collab.If Epic Games doesn’t repurpose the FlowBerry Fizz mechanic for a giant Nuka Cola bottle, they’d be missing a huge opportunity.
Pipboy backpack
Vault Boy is the face of Fallout—the icon for skill level-ups, the blond wink on promo posters, and the green hologram on your Pip-Boy. Since Fortnite doesn’t have bracelet cosmetics yet, and turning the Pip-Boy into a weapon is a stretch, the safest bet is a backpack.
Thumbs up emote
The Fallout TV series deserves more credit for revealing a creepypasta fact about Vault Boy in its first few minutes: the meaning behind the Thumbs Up.
Even though the Fortnite live event is over, a Thumbs Up emote would still besuperhandy.With the “Take the L” emote censored for positivity, why not spread good vibes with this emote andgive anod to the Fallout seriesat the same time?
Ghoul NPC
Fallout hasa ton oficonic Ghoul characters ripe for inspiration for a Fortnite NPC. Imagine a John Hanco*ck GhoulNPCor one resembling The Ghoul from the Fallout TV show.
He’s a poignant figure, but above all, he’s one seriously badass Ghoul ready to blast you away with a shotgun. These Ghouls are fan favorites, so much so that fans are even questioning whether it is even wrong for them to be feral. I bet more than a few Fallout enthusiasts would flock to Fortnitejustto encounter this NPC.
Marty Robbins’s Big Iron or The Five Star’s Atom Baby emote
Fallout’s music is legendary. It’s your sole companion as you navigate the vast, desolate wasteland, and it’s downright infectious—it makes you want to jive and groove.
Imagine a dancing emote set to Marty Robbins’s “Big Iron” or The Five Star’s “AtomBaby” or any other track from the movies and games. It would be an absolute blast.
Dogmeat backpack
A dog is a dweller’s best friend, but having a four-legged companion in the Fortnite x Fallout collab might be a stretch for Epic Games. However, considering they’ve depicted dogs as backpacksbeforewith the Red Roots Billie Eilish skin, perhaps Dogmeat couldmake an appearanceas a backbling item in Fortnite.
The Master backbling
The original Fallout game from 1997 was a unique experience. While the visuals may not be as sharp by today’s standards, the design of characters like The Master, the game’s main antagonist, is still striking. He may look utterly repulsive, but I’ddefinitelysport him as a backpack if he were included in Fortnite.
NCR Ranger NPC
The NCR Ranger armorstands out asthe most recognizable piece from Fallout: New Vegas. It’s so iconic that Fortnite even featured it in their Season three promo art.
While the Fallout TV show onlygives us a brief lookat the NCR Ranger armor, I’m crossing my fingers that Epic Games gives it more love in the Fallout x Fortnite collab.
