Summary
- The Fallout TV series reveals that Hank MacLean nuked NCR capital Shady Sands.
- The assumption is that he and Vault-Tec somehow have access to nuclear weapons even 200 years later.
- But one fan suggests that he actually acted alone, turning a GECK into a bomb to destroy the city.
At the end of the Fallout TV series, it's revealed that Hank MacLean 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:nuked the NCR capital Shady Sands.
It raises some interesting questions. Is there a powerful cabal of Vault-Tec employees with a nuclear arsenal hiding in the wasteland, ready to wipe entire factions off the map? How did Hank, a seemingly low-level employee, gain access to such devastating weapons? And why did Vault-Tec attack the NCR in their decline and not their prime long before Hank decided to?
One fan believes that MacLean didn't contact a secret society of trigger-happy office workers hiding in the shadows, but repurposed a GECK instead.
Hank MacLean Could Have Used A GECK To Nuke Shady Sands
Before the war, Vault-Tec developed terraforming kits known as GECKs which could be used to replenish the ravaged wastes, allowing for nature to thrive once again. In Fallout 2, we leave our tribe in search of one such GECK to save Arroyo. We also come across Vault City and Shady Sands, both of which were founded by vault dwellers who🦩 used GECKs to make the land more hospitable.
Vault 33 would no doubt have a GECK given its plans to rebuild society once everyone finally moved to the surface, but it's possible that MacLean used theirs as a weapon.
Report: Fallout London's Delay, And The Move To GOG
GOG tellsཧ us about its partnership with Fallout: London, a game that's "overflowingꦇ" with love for the series.
"My proposal is that Hank and his friends from [Vault] 31 modified the Vault 33 GECK into a bomb and then detonated it at Shady Sands," Stellar_Wings suggested. "I think it makes sense because we already know the devices can be extremely destructive if not activated properly, and they run on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:cold fusion which would explain why there's seemingly no radiation left from the explosion that destroyed the city."
This would mean that Shady Sands was created and destroyed by GECKs.
If Stellar_Wings is right, there likely isn't a group of Vault-Tec employees armed to the teeth who could obliterate anyone in their way. It would also mean that Hank acted alone in destroying Shady Sands, sabotaging a hotly sought-after Vault-Tec tool to do so. It still doesn't explain why he ventured to New Vegas at the end of the show, but with season two already underway, we'll no doubt find out soon enough.
