Summary
Falloutfans have managed to pinpoint exactly where inNew VegasHank MacLean was standing during the TV show’s final shot, and it’s all thanks to the show’s scarily accurate portrayal of the city.
Fallout’s first season may have come and gone, but the team behind the project have made sure there’s plenty to look forward to in Season 2. Not only do we have confirmation thatboth DeathclawsandMr House will feature in the show’s next season, but those that have watched the show will know that the city of New Vegas was teased as a potential setting, suggesting Season 2 may lean a lot more heavily on the game of the same title.
Unfortunately, the first season’s final shot was painfully brief, featuring a now escaped Hank MacLean several miles away from the city of New Vegas. We don’t know where he is or what he’s doing there, but Fallout fans think they may have figured out exactly where in the game the final shot takes place using New Vegas itself.
Fallout Fans Have Discovered Where The TV Show’s Final Shot Takes Place
First discovered byReddit user GoArray, it seems as though Hank is standing inRanger Station Foxtrot directly west of New Vegas. GoArray posts a screenshot of themselves standing on top of the radio tower in Ranger Station Foxtrot, and it matches up almost perfectly with the TV show’s final shot.
You can see the two shots side by side in the post above, and you’ll notice locations such as the Gomorrah, Lucky 38 tower, The Tops, and the Ultra-Luxe are all in the exact same position, along with the general shape of New Vegas itself. The only thing that doesn’t quite match up are the mountains in the background, but some point out that the mountains in New Vegas are designed to stop you from venturing too far out of bounds, and aren’t necessarily accurate to the area.
Another user called Starlightsunsetdream also points out that Ranger Station Foxtrot being due west of New Vegas makes a lot of sense too, as Hank would be walking from California (where the first season is based) to the south of Nevada, where New Vegas is based. The only possible issue is scale, as the show is clearly on a much larger scale than the game, but it’s the best idea we have at the moment and looks far too accurate to be a coincidence.
