Key Takeaways
- A Fallout fan found a real-life mutfruit at a farmer’s market, resembling the fictional fruit.
- The community often creates real-world items from Fallout, like a New Vegas Strip model.
- Fans enjoy spotting Fallout references in real life, maintaining interest in the franchise.
An eagle-eyed Fallout fan has found what appears to be a real-life mutfruit at a farmer’s market, grabbing it to compare it to the fictional fruit. Throughout the Fallout series, mutfruit has been included as a way for players to regain a small amount of health, in exchange for a bit of radiation poisoning.
The Fallout series has tons of instantly recognizable iconography. With things like Vault Boy, power armor, and ghouls, there are many visuals that most gamers could point out as being uniquely Fallout. This is part of why the franchise has remained so popular over the years. It’s always interesting to see how these kinds of things translate to real life, which is often seen in fan creations from the series’ talented community. Just recently, there was a Fallout fan who created a fantastic model of the New Vegas Strip, bringing one of the franchise’s most iconic locations to life.
Redditor Mja8b9 spotted the fruit, which looks much like Fallout‘s mutfruit, at a farmer’s market. Large and bumpy, the mysterious fruit looks right at home in the Fallout franchise, which is only confirmed even further by the comparison with the actual model used in the first two games. According to the user, “it was sold as an Asian pear,” although one gamer in the thread claimed, “Either you get horribly irradiated or you get devil fruit powers, good luck.”
Real-Life Fallout Mutfruit Found At Farmer’s Market
The thread was filled with jokes about the unique fruit, with a few gamers asking how many caps it cost to buy. It’s always cool to see something resembling a video game item in the real world, especially from the Fallout universe. A while back, there was even a Fallout fan who spotted a real-life Vault-Tec jeep, which certainly must have given them a moment of pause as they realized what it was.
The wait goes on for a new mainline Fallout game. Fallout 76 was released as recently as 2018, but Fallout 4 was a 2015 title, and there’s no sign of a new game any time soon. Although it’s known that Bethesda wants to release games at a quicker rate, its work on The Elder Scrolls 6 makes a new Fallout game developed by the studio a distant hope right now. It could a Fallout: New Vegas approach, handing the IP off to another developer for a spin-off until it’s ready to release something of its own, but there’s no indication that this will happen at Bethesda.
