Fallout 4 Player Discovers Hidden Vault-Tec Easter Egg Years Later

Fallout 4

Even after all these years, Fallout 4 continues to surprise fans with hidden secrets that many players have completely missed. A recent discovery by one sharp-eyed survivor has brought a heartwarming Vault-Tec easter egg back into the spotlight.

A Hidden Detail in the Wasteland

The Fallout series remains one of the most beloved franchises from Bethesda Game Studios, the same team behind The Elder Scrolls. While Bethesda didn’t create the series originally, their 2008 release of Fallout 3 set the tone for the modern era of post-apocalyptic storytelling.

For many fans, 2015’s Fallout 4 stands as a high point in the franchise thanks to its massive world, layered quests, and attention to environmental storytelling. As the Sole Survivor emerging from Vault 111, players explore the ruins of Boston — scavenging, surviving, and sometimes stumbling across the unexpected.

The Discovery Inside a Vault-Tec Lunchbox

A Reddit user known as TheGamerAtticus recently posted their finding: ā€œJust noticed these weird faces inside a Vault-Tec lunchbox in Fallout 4. Is this some sort of easter egg?ā€

It turns out that it absolutely is. As several players explained, the sketches are actually personal drawings included by one of the game’s developers. According to community research and the Fallout fandom wiki, the faces were drawn by the wife of developer Mark Teare and depict their children, Simon and Ziggy.

ā€œThat’s such a good easter egg, and really nice art too,ā€ one player commented.
Another added, ā€œNow I’ll go looking for them.ā€

Why Fans Love These Little Secrets

It’s these small, personal touches that make Fallout 4 such a rewarding experience to revisit. Every lunchbox, terminal, and forgotten corner can hold a story — not just of the wasteland, but of the people who built it.

With the success of the recent Fallout live-action series from Amazon, a whole new generation of players has jumped into the game, uncovering details that longtime fans may have overlooked. These rediscoveries keep the Commonwealth feeling alive, even a decade later.

What’s Next for Fallout?

While Fallout 5 hasn’t been officially announced, it’s safe to assume it will arrive after The Elder Scrolls VI — another long-awaited title with no confirmed release date yet. Until then, players can continue exploring Fallout 4 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, or enjoy it via Xbox Game Pass at no extra cost.

Bethesda’s ability to pack emotional and personal detail into even the smallest props shows why their games endure. A simple doodle in a lunchbox can remind us how much love goes into building a world — and why fans still can’t stop searching it for secrets.
