The wasteland of Fallout is a place where the worst sides of humanity come to light. This is evidenced by a multitude of experiments, of which we present five of the most horrifying in this ranking.
How was the ranking created? If you delve into the cruel experiments from Fallout, you quickly realize that this is a bottomless pit. In the post-apocalypse, human life is not very valuable and is regularly used for various tests.
The main playground for this is the Vaults, which were specifically built by Vault-Tec to conduct various experiments. Some of our placements come directly from the underground bunkers, while others took place at various locations in the wasteland.
The exact selection is based on the author’s opinion and is therefore subjective. If you have your personal “favorites,” feel free to share them with us in the comments.
Before we start, here is a list of our “Honorable Mentions,” which fell out of the ranking due to the sheer number of potential candidates:
- Drug experiments in Vault 95 and Vault 106
- Scientists without moral boundaries in Vault 4 – known from the Amazon series
- An open door transforms the residents of Vault 12 into ghouls
- Sex experiments in Vault 69
Rank 5: Tortured Souls in RoboBrains
- Known from: Fallout 1, 2, Tactics, 3, New Vegas, 4 (DLC Automatron)
RoboBrains are actually not intended as a classic experiment, but the result can certainly be considered one, with all the terrible consequences for the subjects. Essentially, real human brains are combined with robots to create the optimal soldiers in the fight against China.
The robots operate on a tracked chassis and have two arms that can move objects or carry weapons. The brains are housed in a glass sphere at the top of the construction and come from incarcerated criminals in military prisons, whose heads are surgically opened and their contents removed.
The result is often far from optimal. Despite efforts to choose only healthy brains and erase the memories contained within, problems arise. Often, the brains are traumatized by the procedure, attempt to commit suicide, or act very violently in their new forms.
In summary, here, cruel experiments are initiated with prisoners, their identities erased, and their waking consciousness stuffed into a prison of technology.
