Fallout 76 Fan finds back to Future Hill Valley in Spelfiles

Fallout 76 seems to contain a miniature recreation of Hill Valley from Back to the futureas recently discovered by a fan. The location does not appear to be used in Fallout 76 in all capacities, making the reasons it includes a mystery.

Fall-out Games have been full of Easter eggs since the very first post in the series, long before Bethesda took over the franchise. Fallout 76 is no exception, with live service RPG with references to a variety of popular media, all from Indiana Jones and Harry Potter to Futurama and The devil can cry.

Fallout 76 test fishing

Fallout 76 is starting to test a long -awaited function in its public test servers.

Another such Easter egg was recently discovered by Reddit user Titanicmackeyh, who stumbled upon what seems to be a genuine recreation of Hill Valley from Back to the future trilogy while rumming through Fallout 76 Codebase. The location in the game includes several characteristics of the fictional city from the famous movies, including Courthouse Square and Clock Tower. It is currently unclear when exactly this obvious recreation of Hill Valley was added to the game's files.

Fallout 76 Hill Valley site made with FO76utils

At first glance, the screenshots that Titanicmackeyh shared could be mistaken for one of 2D Fall-out Games, mainly because of their isometric perspective. This is because the site was made with FO76utils, an open source tool to visualize data extracted from Fallout 76 files.

The recreation in Hill Valley is reportedly stored as an internal cell, which means that it can theoretically be connected to a doorway somewhere in the outside world. However, there is no indication that this place is actually used in the game in any capacity. Considering Fallout 76 has been played by over 20 million people from May 2024, it is likely to be an elaborate Back to the future Tribute as this would have been discovered now if it was present in any public building of Open World RPG.

Fallout 76 has another “Back to the Future” Easter egg

While this high -paper rendering of Hill Valley may not be in the game, the list of moody is Fallout 76 Easter eggs include a Back to the future Reference – found in the isolated cottage in the forest region Appalachia, just southeast of Vault 76. Near this home is a dog house with a periodic table and a mathematical formula written in chalk on the floor. The formula itself is one of the Einstein field equations, which the fans have interpreted to a large extent as a reference to Dr. Emmett Brown's pet Fardog Einstein (Einie) from Back to the future.
