Fans can expect to see familiar locations and possibly even some beloved characters from the games. Below, we’ve compiled all the Easter eggs spotted in Fallout season 2 episode 1.

Key Locations and References

RobCo Industries

During a TV broadcast addressing nationwide protests against the company, a small placard with "ROB-CO" is visible. Protesters are seen picketing and destroying robots in the street. In the game, RobCo Industries is Robert House's multibillion-dollar corporation, making him one of the richest and most powerful men in the world. The company also invented the Pip-Boy 2000, which Vault-Tec later used for its dwellers.

H&H Tool Factory

When Mr. House speaks to angry men at the bar, he mentions an H&H nail gun. In the game, H&H is owned by Robert House's half-brother, Anthony House, and was founded after he stole Robert's inheritance.

Radiation King

A Radiation King repair truck is seen in the alley behind the bar where Robert House kills the men. Radiation King is a company that makes appliances like televisions and radios, and is mentioned in nearly every game in the Fallout franchise.

Great Khans

The Ghoul is seen being held hostage by the Great Khans, a raider tribe introduced in Fallout: New Vegas. They evolved from the New Khans, who were wiped out in Fallout 2.

Dino Dee-Lite Motel

The location where the Great Khans hold the Ghoul is a defunct motel with a giant concrete dinosaur. In the game, the dinosaur is named Dinky the T-Rex, and the resort is known as the Dino Dee-Lite Motel. It survives the nuclear blast until a town is built around it, leading to its disrepair.

Starlight Drive-In

After asking about Hank Maclean, Lucy and the Ghoul reach the ruins of the Starlight Drive-In. The marquee is still standing, and the last showing before the nuclear blast was a double feature of Cooper Howard's movies. This location was introduced in Fallout 4 as an abandoned settlement.

Rita's Cafe

Rita's Cafe is a pre-war diner mentioned only by name in Fallout: New Vegas. It is where Cooper and Moldaver meet to discuss preventing the end of the world.

Whack-A-Commie

At the diner where Cooper meets Moldaver, his daughter Janey is seen playing a Whack-A-Mole game called Whack-A-Commie. This pre-war arcade game appears in Fallout 76.

West Tek

In Fallout and Fallout 76, West Tek is a defense contractor and research corporation. Despite specializing in advanced weapons and biomedical research, the company is humorously launching a skincare line, as heard via radio broadcast.

Vault 40, or, the Abandoned Vault

Lucy and the Ghoul stumble into a long-abandoned vault filled with decaying skeletons and projectors playing propaganda films. Vault 40 is not an official location in Fallout: New Vegas but appears in the mod A World of Less Pain.

Sugar Bomb Cereal

While in Vault 40, Lucy finds an open box of Sugar Bombs. This cereal is a consumable item found in nearly every game in the franchise and was sponsored by Vault-Tec during the opening of Vault 76 in Fallout 76. It contains 100% of the daily value of sugar.
