AFalloutfan has had an incredible Father’s Day thanks to his kids, who gave him some impressive hand-crafted gifts based on the series. Fellow fans ofFallouthave been blown away by the effort made by his children.
Falloutis likely more popular than ever thanks to the recent Amazon Prime Video adaptation of the series. TheFalloutshow proved to be a big hitamong fans and newcomers alike, and has led many established fans revisiting the games. Celebrating a dad’s favorite video game series or their overall gaming hobby on Father’s Day has become a popular theme in recent years as more people play video games. On that note, one player clearly has kids that support their fandom if their father’s Day gifts are any indication.
Reddit user Independent-Room-793 shared a pair of images of their Father’s Day gifts with fans of theFalloutseries, saying that they simply had to share. The images reveal them holding a handful of Nuka Cola bottlecaps, a Nuka Cola, and most impressively, a Pip-Boy on their arm made out of cardboard. The Pip-Boy appears to be based on thePip-Boy 3000 modelfromFallout 3orFallout: New Vegas, with a custom gift message written beneath the model number.
The Pip-Boy actually fits on the Dad’s arm, and appears to have been made to house his cell phone, which is running theFallout 4Pip-Boy app. It’s not clear how the dad’s kids set about making this particular present, but what is obvious is that a lot of care went into it.
Fallout 4players have swarmed the comments of the post to share their thoughts on the gifts. Most fans seem to be extremely impressed by the skill and detail needed to create something like this out of cardboard. Plenty of players congratulated the Dad on having incredible kids. While this is far from the first time someone has made a replica Pip-Boy, the receiving something with this much attention and love put into it from one’s own children is truly remarkable.

Many of the series' most recent releases are definitely tied up in family ties and relationships with a father.Fallout 3and the new Amazon series both see the protagonistleave theFalloutvault in search of their dad, whileFallout 4gives players the option of playing as a father in search of his kidnapped son. While the notion of celebrating a post-apocalyptic world alongside Father’s Day might strike some as funny, it’s clear it’s made this particular dad happy.
