Explore Fallout’s Most Iconic TV Show Locations in Inside Fallout 76

Are you eager to visit the post-apocalyptic wasteland of your dreams? Love meeting interesting new people, and embarking on adventures filled with action, intrigue, and a dash of radiation? Then the world of Fallout is perfect for you!

Season 2 of Fallout on Amazon Prime has immersed fans and newcomers in the perilous world of the Wasteland, visiting fan-favourite locations including New Vegas for the first time since featuring in the game, Fallout: New Vegas, in 2010. Veterans of the series will have also noticed Fallout 1 and 2’s Shady Sands, along with The Prydwen from Fallout 4 as they were a little earlier in the timeline, just 200 years after the bombs fell.

If you’re looking to take your own first steps into Fallout, the brand-new Burning Springs update for Fallout 76 is filled with places to see and things to do. Many of the Wasteland’s locales are rife with danger and adventure, as well as full of rewards for those willing to seek them out. Take a look at some of Burning Spring’s ‘Must Visit’ places for all kinds of daring locations to experience.

Dino Peaks Mini Golf
Dino Peaks Mini Golf is a perfect way to unwind in the Wasteland. Fans of Season 2 of the Fallout TV series and Fallout: New Vegas’ Novac Hotel will feel right at home at Dino Peaks Mini Golf, a pre-war family-run mini-golf course with nine holes of prehistoric thrills for you to enjoy… if you aren’t eaten by the resident Deathclaws first! Check out dinosaurs that harken back to Novac’s very own Dinky the T-Rex, including Triceratopses, Stegosauruses, Brontosauruses, and T-rexes.

Rust Kingdom
For those who were big fans of seeing Fallout’s different Raider factions on-screen, visit the Rust Kingdom and meet the Wasteland’s Rust Raiders. In the epicentre of the new Burning Springs region for Fallout 76, the Rust King and his army use their “Might makes right” ideology to rule over their industrial hellscape, featuring a junk yard, Deathclaw pen, and fields of chemical storage tanks. Check out their domed arena and see what makes them one of the Wasteland’s most feared factions.

Athens
Just like many of the deserted towns across the Fallout franchise, Athens, Ohio stands as a stark reminder that war never changes. Once a pre-war college town with an undying love for its football team and Halloween festivities, Athens now lies as a desiccated husk, where only ghouls and radroaches remain. For daring adventurers, Athens and Hocking University are rife with deserted treasures and unsettling scenes, while the people of Burning Springs avoid the ghost town at all costs in fear of the danger that lies within.

Highway Town
A watering hole built on the hanging ruins of Highway Route 35, Highway Town serves as Ohio’s primary trading post and NPC hub. Reminiscent of other Fallout towns like Fallout Season 1’s Philly, or Fallout 4’s Diamond City, Highway Town is one of the only sources of clean water in the region, hosting an unspoken, uneasy neutrality agreement for everyone who passes through. Most Wastelanders are headed to the Last Resort bar, where ‘The Ghoul’ and his Bounty Hunting operation currently reside. Once you visit, you’ll find yourself returning to Highway Town time and again to collect Head Hunts, grab Grunt Hunts, and to enrich yourself in one of the region’s most populated areas.

Super Duper Mart
Keen eyed viewers of Season 1 of the Fallout TV series, and veterans of Fallout 3, and Fallout 4, will recognise the Super Duper Mart, which has made its way to the Burning Springs region in Fallout 76. Part of a pre-war supermarket chain, this Super Duper Mart has been scavenged a dozen times over by Wastelanders since the bombs fell. Located in a strip mall off the highway, it now only serves as a refuge for Head Hunt targets as a place to hide from pursuing bounty hunters. 

The Chop Shop
While the famous Red Rocket chain of locations usually serve as a safe haven for adventurers to rest from their travels, such as those seen in Season 1 of the Fallout TV series, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4, the same cannot be said for The Chop Shop: a former Red Rocket Station and Buckeye Diner turned Raider outpost under the control of The Rust King. The Chop Shop acts as one of the Rust Raider’s vendor outposts, where traders sell scrap, trade goods, and make a meager living in Burning Springs. However, Wastelanders on the wrong side of the Rust Raiders can expect a fierce fight at The Chop Shop, battling from the outpost’s shooting range to the Buckeye Diner’s basement: a hotspot for the Rust Raiders’ more nefarious activity in the region.

Like the rest of the Fallout franchise, the new Burning Springs update is full of tales of survival, greed, and co-operation, with towns and factions just like those in Fallout TV series, Fallout: New Vegas, and other fan-favourites. Whether you’re just starting your journey into the Wasteland for the very first time, or already a seasoned veteran, Fallout 76: Burning Springs is perfect for exploring your tale of surviving the post-apocalyptic fallout.

Fallout 76: Burning Springs is available on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation 5 and 4. Fallout 76 is also available on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra.
