Fallout 4 player finds sneaky reference to the TV series' best character

I’m not saying one of the best bits of Amazon’s Fallout is The Ghoul, but... Okay, that is what I’m saying.

Fallout has been a roaring success, and with that has come a tidal wave of Fallout related content.

Not all of it has been welcomed though; fans have started begging Bethesda to stop updating Fallout 4, lest the publisher break it even more.

Players have found ways around the fallout from these so-called fixes, but changing one setting after the update can only do so much.

Who would the Fallout cast snog, marry, or irradiate?

Yet, we persevere for moments like this one.

A Fallout 4 fan has stumbled upon a ROBCO Industries piece of history that references a “client” that fits the description of The Ghoul.

In the terminal details, it mentions a “Ghoul client” who’s “ex-military” and how they informed them of “a frag gun that could punch through Power Armour like a wet bag”.

That does sound like our boy, doesn’t it?

Despite the OP admitting that this find “could be nothing”, other fans agree that this sounds like The ghoul for sure.

“You might be on to something here considering Cooper’s pistol can fire both explosive and armour piercing bullets with little issue,” reads the first reply.

Someone else declared that this is about Cooper Howard after the nukes hit, without a shadow of a doubt.

“This is a deliberate reference to the show,” they claim. “A former military ghoul that fought in Anchorage and knows how to use explosives to exploit power armour weaknesses. It’s not even subtle about it, just an actual reference.”

Not everyone is convinced though, with another fan saying, “In reality it would most likely be a different ghoul seeing as Cooper Howard is on the West Coast when the nukes went off, and is still there when the show takes place.”

Maybe it doesn’t 100 percent line up when you take the fun out of it all, but I like to think this is about Coop and his roguish, ghoulish ways.
