Fallout T-51 Nuka-Cola Power Armor Helmet Won’t increase Your Rads

Fallout fans know that the only real way to survive the wasteland is to find some power armor and profit. ThinkGeek has got you covered with their exclusive 1:1 scale Fallout T-51 Power Armor Nuka-Cola helmet. Since it is a 1:1 replica, you can actually wear it.

The PVC helmet also has a voice modulator inside to make you sound suitably robot-like. It has a functioning LED headlamp and custom VATS sound feature. It’s listed as “one size fits most” and measures an impressive 24.5″ tall.

 

While the helmet is up for pre-order now, the final design is subject to change pending licensor approval. ThinkGeek will sell you one for $149.99 with shipping expected in mid-June.

Everyone Needs A Little Fallout Pick-R-Up

So at this point, we all know the last Fallout game, Fallout 76, wasn’t exactly all it was cracked up to be. That doesn’t mean you can’t collect some cool stuff that you might see in the Fallout franchise games while we wait for Bethesda to do better. Perhaps you’d like to add The Wand Company’s 1/18-scale die-cast replica of the Pick-R-Up to your toy shelf.

It almost looks like a ’50s era Chevy truck to me, but it’s unique with its over-the-top proportions and tiny one-person cab. It’s got a big bed in back for carrying around the goodies you collect in the wasteland, and its hood opens to remove a glowing blue, removable nuclear core in the engine. It also comes with an enamel pin to celebrate 5-years of service to Chryslus, as well as a technical guide pamphlet. It’s decked out in a sweet red metallic paint and rides on old school whitewall tires.

 

It’s not a cheap collectible at $99.99, but it is cool. You can order yours now at ThinkGeek.

Fallout T-51 Power Armor Statue is Cooler than the New Game

Fallout 4 T-51 Sugar Bombs Power Armor USB Hub: Power for the Wasteland and Beyond

The Fallout-inspired charging hub is for the vault dweller that has a lot of gadgets but wants a taste of the wasteland world outside. It’s a very cool replica of a suit of power armor from the game, just much tinier and lighter. There’s no fusion core required to power it up.

This hub really is the bomb. It’s the perfect office accessory for Fallout fans and the Sugar Bombs cereal theme makes it extra cool. But aside from being a good looking replica of the T-51 with its power armor station, it’s also a USB hub with four ports.

If you add an AC adapter you can plug it into a wall outlet and it will charge up to four of your devices at the same time. The rest of the time it’s just a cool desktop figure that you can admire. The headlamp even lights up when unit is plugged in and flashes when charging.

The Fallout 4 T-51 Sugar Bombs Power Armor USB Hub measures 8″ tall, and its base is 6-1/4″ square. It’s available now over at ThinkGeek for $89.99.

Fallout 76 Gets Its First Post-Launch Update with Lots of Bug Fixes

Fallout 76 is here, but there’s a big divide among fans. Some like this new take on the franchise, while others feel disappointed, even betrayed. Many wanted a simple new Fallout game, not a new version that does something different. Well, Bethesda can always improve it with updates. Speaking of which, the first post-launch update is here, and it’s massive. The patched game weighs in at a whopping 47GB, which is nearly as big as the entire game. You’ll need plenty of bandwidth to grab this update, so if you plan on playing over Thanksgiving, you’d better start downloading today.

Bethesda says that future patches will vary in size, but they should not be as big as this one is. They made a few changes to fix in-game freezes and performance issues, and to bolster the stability of the servers and the game client. Other fixes address a wide range of things, from enemies and crafting to quests and more. Respawning after being killed in PVP combat will now clear your hostile status. There are also fixes to PVP’s Seek Revenge mechanic, regarding displaying accurate Cap rewards when either hunting down a player who killed you or killing a player who is seeking revenge.

There have also been some changes to crafting and workshops like preventing blueprints from breaking into smaller parts when you log out. A bug that would return items to a broken state after they had been fixed has also been addressed. You can read the full list of patch notes on the Bethesda website.

So no matter what you think of the game, it’s good to hear that Bethesda is already working to make it better.
