"Towards the end of "The Wrangler," Norm (Moises Arias) hacks into Barb's old computer where he makes a chilling discovery: the Forced Evolutionary Virus, or F.E.V. We don't learn too much about it in the moment, as the onscreen text summarizes the F.E.V. as a "gene-altering agent for organism supercharging." Norm would have read more, except he gets beaten up by Ronnie (Adam Faison) after he overhears that Norm isn't actually Bud's successor."
"The F.E.V. sounds like more plot-device mumbo-jumbo in a show already full of them, such as the cold fusion pill. But the F.E.V. is a big thing from the Fallout video games that, second to the bombs, is responsible for turning the wastelands from ruin to outright apocalyptic. But what is the F.E.V., exactly? Where did it come from? Who made it? And what does it actually do? Let's break it down and see where Fallout is going with it."
"The F.E.V. is an artificial virus that was created pre-War. It's typically seen as toxic green liquid, usually in a large vat. Transmission is through direct contact, injection, ingestion, or even an aerosol solution. (Curiously, it isn't airborne, so there's that.) There is a whole Wiki's worth of information about how the F.E.V. works on a molecular level. But the long and short of it all is that the F.E.V. rewrites a host's DNA."
Season 2, episode 5 of Fallout reveals that Norm discovers files about the Forced Evolutionary Virus (F.E.V.) on Barb's old computer. The F.E.V. is an artificial pre‑War virus depicted as a toxic green liquid stored in vats. Transmission occurs via contact, injection, ingestion, or aerosol but not through airborne spread. The F.E.V. rewrites host DNA and can theoretically enhance strength and speed, yet it has been weaponized to produce monstrous mutations. The virus is a major in‑lore factor second only to nuclear bombs for causing the wasteland's apocalyptic state. Norm's reading is cut short when he is attacked.
