Major spoilers ahead of Fallout's Season 2 finale.
Fall-out Season 2 is now officially over, and there were some huge revelations in the hour-long finale. Cooper's fate after giving the president the cold fusion diode, Barb and Janey's cryochamber, Hank and Steph's shocking past, and Lucy and Maximus' reunion all took the spotlight. The Fall-out The finale was as exciting as it was frustrating, and one of the most surprising teases for Season 3 has big implications: The Ghoul is going to Colorado.
The Ghoul made it to the special vault in New Vegas, but Barba and Janey's cryo chambers were empty. Well, mostly empty. In Barb's chamber, a Colorado postcard is found on the floor with a message on the back: “Colorado was a good idea.” During a flashback in the finale, Barb and Cooper half-jokingly discuss getting away to Colorado, but it looks like Barb and Janey may have ended up there after all. This creates some really compelling possibilities, as Colorado has not been fully visited in the mainline Fall-out game. However, there is a forgotten spin-off that has the setting. Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steels place in the canon has remained unofficial (for the most part) for years, but the game has important plot points specifically tied to Colorado. This does suddenly Fallout tactics one of the most exciting Fall-out game right now, as it may hint at what Season 3 has in store.
I'm a Fallout 4 Voiced Protagonist Defender, but these are the changes I would make before Fallout 5
I don't mind Fallout 4's voiced protagonist, but there are some major changes that should be made before Bethesda debuts Fallout 5.
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel's Colorado setting could make Fallout Season 3 the wildest chapter yet
Fallout tactics very different from the main games. It's a strategy game instead of an RPG, but there are still some RPG elements involved. However, Colorado is not the only setting in which the game takes place. Fallout tactics takes place across the Midwest, giving the spotlight to places like Kansas, Missouri and Chicago. Even if the game isn't canon, it's worth checking out the lore just to see one side of it Fall-out which has not been shown before. What does Fall-out Going to Colorado so special is Vault 0.
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel was developed by Micro Forte.
Fallout Season 3 May Make Vault 0 Officially Canon
Vault 0 has only been in Fallout tacticsbut it has a profoundly important role. Rather than being an experiment, Vault 0 is a central hub for living the brightest minds of pre-war America. Members of Vault 0 were all connected to one main source: the Calculator. The Calculator was a supercomputer that helped these Vault dwellers think of the best ways to build an ideal society. Unfortunately, because this is Fall-out franchise, this did not go according to plan. Backup systems for neural links were not included in Vault 0, causing many citizens to suffer extreme brain damage.
With Fall-outs season finale teases that Barb has run off to Colorado with Janey, it's very possible she could be at Vault 0 or the facility it's located in, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. Barb and Janey may not be the only ones waiting in Colorado either. The Enclave may also have found its home in the Rockies.
Fallout's season finale confirms that the Enclave is more than just a bogeyman
The Fall-out the show still hasn't officially said that the enclave has built a secret base in Colorado, but the finale made it crystal clear that the organization has been the biggest villain all along. The Enclave has been briefly touched upon throughout the series, but the Season 2 finale proved that the shadow government has been pulling more strings than first thought. It turns out that Hank MacLean has actually been working for the Enclave all along. Not only that, but he and Steph were married before the bombs were dropped, so she's in on the enclave's plans as well. It was a wild twist that further proves the secret group will be front and center next season. For the first time since a short time in Season 1, Fall-out gave another sneak peek at an Enclave compound, and the surrounding terrain looks a lot like the snowy mountains of Colorado.
It is quite possible that the enclave has made a home in the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. Given that the complex is an actual stronghold built by the US government during the Cold War, it would only make sense that it would be reused by the group. Enclave in Fall-out are one of the most fascinating and powerful factions in the entire franchise, and the Rockies would be the perfect place to remain secluded.

Fallout Tactics' confusing place in the franchise's canon could turn Vault 0 into a blank slate
Fallout tactics is not canon, but there are some exceptions. The only one Fallout tactics plot points that have actually been made canon are the Midwest Brotherhood of Steel chapter and the group's ability to build airships. Vault 0 may have a background Fallout tacticsbut that doesn't mean the show has to fully honor it. Since Vault 0 isn't canon yet, the show can either remove the calculator storyline or rework it to fit a story that makes more sense for a Barb and Enclave arc. There's no telling what Season 3 will do with the seeds Season 2 planted, but there are plenty of loose ends that could lead to some fascinating destinations.
Fallout 76's NCR Power Armor is stuck between a rock and a hard place
Bethesda wasted no time adding Maximus' new outfit to Fallout 76, but the way it was introduced is causing outrage for two key reasons.
Major plot points that Fallout is saving for Season 3
-
How Hank helped Steph climb the Vault Tec corporate ladder
-
Hank's mind controls victims roaming the wasteland
-
The fates of Barb and Janey
-
The enclave's motivations
-
FEV is still not fully resolved.
-
Where does Norm go from here?
-
What will happen to Vault 32 and 33?
-
Will Lucy and Maximus join the war in New Vegas?
There is still much to tie up. The good news is that Fall-out Season 3 is already shaping up to be incredibly exciting. The bad news is that it will probably be a while before it arrives. Season 3 filming doesn't start until May 2026, so the answers to these questions probably won't come until 2027.
