This Week's Episode Of Fallout Paid Tribute To The Series' Best DLC

"Operation: Anchorage in Fallout 3 This week's episode began with a pre-war flashback depicting Cooper fighting on the Alaskan front. In Fallout lore, Alaska was occupied by Communist Chinese forces and fought the United States over control of Anchorage. The liberation of Anchorage was most famously depicted in the Operation: Anchorage DLC for Fallout 3, which saw the player character entering a simulation to relive the historical battle."

"The cover art to 1997's Fallout The Alaska flashback also depicts the first time the United States deployed the T-45 power armor, which helped to aid their victory against the Chinese forces. Power armor ends up becoming the main tool of the Brotherhood of Steel after Roger Maxson left the United States army to form the organization, but longtime fans will also recognize the T-45 model of the armor as the centerpiece on the cover of the original 1997 Fallout game."

"A chem addiction related perk card from Fallout 76 When Lucy recovers we learn that she was being pumped up with Buffout, a chem from the video games that provides a boost to strength stats and is essentially a powerful, in-world steroid. Like many other chems in the games, Buffout becomes addictive after prolonged use and leads to negative stat effects unless the player keeps using it regularly or goes many in-game days without use."

Lucy and Cooper arrive in New Vegas while Vault 31 struggles to survive without its waterchip and Maximus provokes conflict within the Brotherhood of Steel. A pre-war flashback depicts Cooper fighting on the Alaskan front during the Operation: Anchorage campaign, echoing the Fallout 3 DLC simulation of that battle. The flashback shows the first deployment of T-45 power armor, linking to the original 1997 Fallout cover art. Lucy is being given Buffout, a strength-boosting chem that functions like a steroid, which becomes addictive and causes negative stat effects after prolonged use, forcing continued administration to avoid withdrawal.
