The Fallout Season 2 finale is here and after eight episodes, Prime Video has made one thing abundantly clear: War never changes.
It’s the phrase uttered by Ron Perlman in the narration for all the Fallout games, and it’s quite obviously the central theme of Fallout Season 2. The factions in the Mojave desert (and beyond) are all struggling with different forms of civil war, and that includes Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) and the Ghoul (Walton Goggins).
But by the time the finale comes around, they’re both faced with even bigger problems. Lucy is desperately attempting to stop her father from turning the Wastelanders into mind-controlled drones for the Enclave. Meanwhile the Ghoul is debating making a deal with Robert House (Justin Theroux) in exchange for the Management Vault’s location, where he thinks his wife and daughter are.
Did we mention that Maximus was left to brawl with an entire pack of Deathclaws on his own in the streets of Freeside? The chips are certainly down in New Vegas that’s for sure. Here’s the Fallout Season 2 ending and post-credits scene explained.
What happens at the end of Fallout Season 2?
Fallout Season 2 ends with a handful of cliffhangers, so let’s break them down. First off, Lucy faces off with her father over his dangerous mind control technology and he reveals that he’s managed to miniaturize the devices so that they’re barely noticeable and are only spotted via a minor scar.
After a minor scuffle, she manages to install one on her own father, promising to make him the man she always thought he was. However, before she does, Hank reveals that there are a handful of sleeper agents out in the Wasteland that are unknowingly following orders for the Enclave.
That means that anybody could be a weapon for the Enclave in future episodes, especially any of the characters in and around New Vegas this season. But when Lucy pushes him to reveal more, he uses a secret device to wipe his own mind. It’s a crushing blow for Lucy, because not only does she lose her father forever, but she’s also lost the chance to get ahead of the Enclave’s plans.
The only silver lining for Lucy is that she manages to finally reunite with Maximus after he defeats the pack of Deathclaws in Freeside (with a little assistance from an NCR ranger!) The pair have spent the entire season apart, so it’ll be interesting to see how their experiences have changed them as a potential couple.
Giving the Vault-Dweller her friend back will definitely make life easier, especially when their story ends in Season 2 as they watch Caesar’s Legion marching on New Vegas. Remember, they’re now led by Lacerta Legate (Macaulay Culkin) who has crowned himself as the new Caesar.
Luckily, the remaining army of the New California Republic are also present in the city because they provided some much needed backup for Maximus against the Deathclaws. But this means that the war between the Legion and the NCR is being ignited all over again following the events of the 2010 New Vegas game.
There’s one person who won’t be affected by the renewed conflict though: the Ghoul. He’s now wandering the nuclear wasteland once more, still searching for his wife and daughter. The gunslinger discovered that his family weren’t in the Management Vault under New Vegas, but instead it looks like they’ve left for Colorado.
Cooper’s wife, Barbara (Frances Turner) left a postcard for the location inside her cryotube, presumably to tell her husband where she’s going if he ever came looking for them. The episode also gives us a glimpse of the Enclave’s snowy, mountainous research facility, so it seems like that’s where the Ghoul will be heading in Fallout Season 3. But wait, there’s more…
Does Fallout Season 2 have a post-credits scene?
Yes, Fallout Season 2 does have a brief post-credits scene. In it, Dane (Xelia Mendes-Jones) walks through Area 51 in Nevada as explosions are going off in the distance and many Brotherhood of Steel members are seriously wounded.
It’s obvious that the civil war is not going well for the San Fernando chapter of the Brotherhood, and even Quintus (Michael Christofer) is looking worse for wear. When Dane hands him an old relic, he explains that he had good inentions for the Brotherhood and tried to be “Quintus the unifier,” but that didn’t go to plan. Instead, “Quintus the destroyer is born.”
He unrolls the relic to reveal blueprints that show off a giant robot, called Liberty Prime Alpha. Oh yes, the war is only just beginning.
What is Liberty Prime Alpha in Fallout Season 2?
For anyone not familiar with Fallout 3 or Fallout 4, the name Liberty Prime might not mean anything. But players will definitely recognize the hulking robot that is used by the Brotherhood of Steel to fight the Enclave in Washington in Fallout 3, before also using it against the Institute in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.
Considering Quintus is an Elder Cleric, it would make sense why he knows about the massive weapon — which can be used to shoot lasers and throw mini-nukes at its enemies. The robot was originally created to defend the US from the Chinese during the Battle of Anchorage in Alaska before the nuclear war. However, it wasn’t finished in time due to problems with the power source.
This meant that its pieces remained in tact by the time players stumbled into the wasteland during Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. However, it’s important to note that the version in the games was only referred to as “Liberty Prime,” not “Liberty Prime Alpha.” This could mean that it’s an earlier prototype of the robot that is also still being kept in storage and survived the apocalypse. If so, this might give Quintus the upper hand over the other Brotherhood chapters…
