Leave No Radioactive Stone Unturned!Â
The Fallout franchise hasn’t exactly had it easy as of late. On the one hand, you’ve got the continuing controversial quagmire that is Fallout 76, which by this point is set to become one of the year’s most infamous entries. Then you’ve got The Outer Worlds; a sci-fi FPS from the original creators of Fallout, which doesn’t only look like it could be the ultimate spiritual successor, but also seems to be taking shots at Bethesda’s flagship series. All in all, things are looking bad over in the Capital Wasteland. For all those Brotherhood of Steel members wishing for the glory days, you might want to try searching out these easy to miss missions! Â
#5: Kid in a Fridge
Fallout 4
People have survived the nuclear armageddon in all kinds of weird ways, but this takes the cake. Wandering around University Point, you might hear some cries for help. Follow the noise to an old fridge, and youâll find something inside besides leftovers. A boy named Billy took shelter in the fridge when the bombs dropped, and after being turned into a Ghoul by the radiation, he found himself trapped inside for hundreds of years. Itâs up to you to escort the kid back to his home, where his similarly Ghoulish parents await. Alternatively, you can instead sell him to some Gunners if youâre feeling extra evil today. Â
#4: How Little We Know
Fallout: New VegasÂ
The New Vegas strip is home to a number of unsavory characters, some of which weâll get to later. But even among the seedy denizens of the Strip, The Omertas are a force to be reckoned with. This extremely elaborate quest takes you deep inside the crime groupâs dealings and offers multiple branching paths depending on your actions. But be careful! Itâs extremely easy to lock off other quests depending on what decisions you make. And if you want to get rewarded with the shiny Pimp-Boy 3 Billion, get ready to jump through some serious hoops. But look at this thing, itâs clearly worth the hassle!Â
#3: Our Little Secret
Fallout 3Â
Stressful situations bring out the worst in people, or make them reveal their true colors. When it comes down to life or death, some people are willing to do some pretty despicable things to keep breathing. That brings us to the citizens of Andale, a quiet, seemingly idyllic little hamlet in the Capital Wasteland. They seem like nice folk on the surface, if maybe a bit too nice. But do a little snooping around and youâll discover that the residents of the town are a little less âLeave it to Beaverâ and a bit more âTexas Chainsaw Massacreâ than they initially seemed. And if you canât beat âem, join âem.Â
#2: Blood Ties
Fallout 3Â Â
The Wasteland is full of some pretty scary creatures, from Ghouls and Super Mutants to terrifying Deathclaws. Did we really need to learn that there are vampires skulking about too? Ok, so these arenât actual vampires, but theyâre close enough. Find the settlement of Arefu in the Capital Wasteland and youâll need to help the residents out with The Family, a group of cannibalistic humans who drink the blood of their fellow men. Of course, itâs all a trick by the groupâs leader to help control their cannibalistic urges. Wipe the group out, help them attack the town, or broker a bizarre peace agreement between the two.Â
#1: Beyond the Beef

Seriously! Cut it out! Explore New Vegasâs fancy Luxe Casino, and youâll discover the dark secret of the sinister White Glove Society. The group were previously cannibals before turning away from their dark appetites. But one member wishes to return the group to its old ways.
