On Twitter, Burgess shared screenshots from a three part Fallout 4 Easter egg. Calling it an “easter egg within an easter egg, within an easter egg,” Burgess says that the first part is a simple door puzzle that can be unlocked by tapping in the code “0451”." This code is also seen in Thief, Dishonored, and System Shock. The next part is a “high-five” to Gone Home developer Steve Gaynor who likes video game magnums and so Burgess put in a gun called “The Gainer.”
The third and final part of this Fallout 4 Easter egg is about Hideo Kojima and Fallout 3. The Gainer is on the floor next to a bloodied skeleton with its head in its lap. This is a gruesome scene but it’s also an Easter egg for the Hideo Kojima game Snatcher, a cyberpunk adventure game released in 1988. It’s not as well known as Kojima’s other games, such as the strange Death Stranding, but Burgess cares about it enough to have put another Snatcher Easter egg in Fallout 3 too. The Fallout 3 version also has a corpse with its head in its lap, but it’s clothed.
Burgess says that he doesn’t think that “many people got” the Hideo Kojima Easter egg in Fallout 4. However, fans still seem to be glad to hear about it. On Twitter, several Fallout fans thanked the developer for putting things like this into the game. Humbled, the developer said that there are “lots of great BGS devs have put more and cleverer things into those games than I did alone.”
There are many other Fallout 4 Easter eggs that fans have picked up on such as the many Easter eggs for the popular sci-fi movie Blade Runner, or the skeleton of a janitor that’s used as an Easter egg for the Matt Damon movie Good Will Hunting. Fallout 4 players also spotted an NPC spying on them throughout the game, using disguises to stay undercover. These are only small parts of what is a very large game, but finding all of these Easter eggs is one reason why people enjoy the Fallout series so much.
