History WebVideo / FalloutNukaBreak

* DualWielding: In the Season 2 finale, the Ranger uses both a knife and a [[AnAxeToGrind hatchet]] in combat, easily trumping a few {{mooks}}.

* ShoutOut: The Ranger's combat style in the Season 2 finale seems kinda familiar. [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII Where else have we seen someone]] DualWielding a ReverseGrip knife in one hand [[AnAxeToGrind and a hatchet in the other]]?

* WeaponOfChoice: Twig uses his .223/5.56 Pistol, you know, [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas That]] [[Film/BladeRunner Gun]]. Ben uses a [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Hunting Shotgun]] and Scar has her [[EnergyWeapon Tri-Beam Laser Rifle]].
** Twig later takes up the [[FlamingSword Shishkebab]], and after it gets destroyed, he gets the Nuka-Breaker.

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler: Leon attempts to give one to Scar, who had just lethally wounded him. [[KilledMidSentence She doesn't let him finish]]]].

* ArtEvolution: There is a noticeable increase in quality between the film and the first episode.
** And more between Season 1 and Red Star. Compare the Eyebot from the movie/Season 1 to the one that shows up in Red Star.

* ActionGirl: Scar. In episode 4, she beat the crap out of a slaver merc who tried to disarm her. Even Twig was impressed. [[spoiler: Too bad another one shoots her in the arm.]]
** Also it turns out that Twig and Ben's memory of when they rescued her from the slavers is more than a little self-serving; they tried to rescue her but got their asses kicked, forcing her to rescue ''them'' as she made a getaway.
* BigBad: Leon for the main series, Bison for “Red Star”, and Scorpion for “The Wanderer”.
* BigDamnHeroes: By none other than the [[spoiler:Mysterious Stranger]] to Twig in episode 6.

* BornLucky: The main reason Twig’s still alive. WordOfGod notes that he has a Luck stat of 10.
* BountyHunter: The Party runs into a few, due to the Legion putting a price on their heads. Luckily for them, the only ones they've encountered so far have been [[TooDumbToLive completely incompetent.]]
** It's now pretty clear that the [[TooDumbToLive idiot raiders and mercs]] that came after Scar and company were misinformed. Leon's bounty on Scar was supposed to be '''2000 caps''', which is more than what [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the Courier gets paid for the Platinum Chip.]] [[spoiler: Episode 4 ends with Ben's old friend betraying them and getting a team of competent and numerous mercs to capture Scar.]]

* CaptainOblivious: Twig’s defining trait. He’s not really stupid, just woefully oblivious at times.
* CerebusSyndrome: "Red Star" and Season 2 are far more serious than the original fan film and Season 1

* CombatDiplomacyStealth: The protagonists form the trifecta. When faced with a problem, Scar is shown to favour [[TalkToTheFist Combat]], Twig prefers [[GuileHero Diplomacy]], while Ben tends to use [[StealthHiBye Stealth]].

* CurbStompBattle: When the NCR Ranger drops the name of an important person from Ben's past, he immediately begins throwing punches. The Ranger deflects them easily and disables Ben in BulletTime. Then Twig attacks with his Shishkebab, which fares as well as you'd expect, while Scar's smart enough to not jump in. Really, the only reason the group is still alive is because the NCR Ranger wanted to talk.
** [[spoiler: The Mysterious Stranger]] versus... a radroach. Overkill at its finest.
** In Red Star, the super mutant Bison delivers one of these to [[spoiler:the Ranger.]]

* NiceHat: Mayor Conners of Eastwood has a foot tall top hat.

* ShoutOut: The Ranger's combat style in the Season 2 finale seems kinda familiar. [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII Where else have we seen someone]] DualWielding a ReverseGrip [[KnifeNut knife in one hand]] [[AnAxeToGrind and a hatchet in the other]]?

The series stars Twig, a [[IdiotHero dimwitted]], overweight Vault Dweller, Scarlet, a [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon Laser-Rifle-toting]] former Legion slave and [[KleptomaniacHero Ben]], an amoral ghoul. Together, they try to survive the Mojave Wasteland, and, in Twig's case, search for the perfect "Nuka Break".

Complicating matters, is a bounty put on the trio by Caesar's Legion for freeing Scar and Ben's [[KleptomaniacHero unscrupulous item-obtaining measures]] have put them in a tight spot where finding work is difficult.

Season 2, was much wider in scope and ambitious, going into production after [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waysidecreations/fallout-nuka-break-season-2-0 a very successful]] Website/{{Kickstarter}} campaign. Tim Cain, one of the founding fathers of the ''Fallout'' series, and Creator/ChrisAvellone, designer on ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}'' and ''[[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas New Vegas]]'' was involved in the creative process. The second season was released on October 28, 2013. 2017 saw the release of “The Wanderer”, a three-part prequel story focusing on the Ranger.

* WeaponOfChoice: Twig uses his .223/5.56 Pistol, you know, [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas That]] [[Film/BladeRunner Gun]]. Ben uses a [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter Hunting Shotgun]] and Scar has her [[FrickinLaserBeams Tri-Beam Laser Rifle]].

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:Season 2 ends with Twig, Scar, Larry and Bessie heading off to return Bessie to her hometown.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Knowing that [[spoiler:he’s going feral anyways, Ben uses his last moments of sanity to distract Leon and his crew, buying time for the Ranger, Scar, Larry, and Bessie to escape the slave camp.]]

--> '''[[spoiler: Mysterious Stranger]]''': Now we're even.

** [[invoked]]Looks like [[Series/{{Seinfeld}} George Costanza]] was right about "By Mennen" being an EarWorm.

** Then Obsidian gave the series a ShoutOut by adding the unique rebar club, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming The Nuka Breaker]] in the Gun Runner's Arsenal DLC for VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas!
