Quests

How to start:

Shoot the white Wasteland shots to collect food and water and raise your HP. At least 50% health lights Quests. Shoot the Sundries scoop when Quest is lit to start a quest.

What to shoot:

Follow the main display for the active quest’s shots. In Radscorpion Attack on Pro, shoot a lit shot to light a boss scorpion at the Jump Ramp, then shoot the Jump Ramp.

What you earn:

In Radscorpion Attack on Pro, shooting additional lit shots before the Jump Ramp increases the boss award. Other quest completion awards are not yet documented in this guide.

• Health acts as the quest timer, so more HP gives you more time. There are six main quests based on scenes from the show. Follow the main display for the active quest’s shots.

Vault multiball (Pro)

How to start:

Shoot the Jump Ramp into the Vault door to collect VAULT letters. After spelling VAULT, shoot the Jump Ramp into the Vault door again to start the lunchbox search. Shoot a blue-lit shot to find the lunchbox, then shoot the Sundries scoop to open it. The lunchbox can award Vault multiball or a legendary weapon.

What to shoot:

During Vault multiball, shoot the quickly flashing blue shot marked with a VAULT insert to collect jackpots and advance the sequence. Shoot the other blue award shots to increase the jackpot value.

What you earn:

The quickly flashing blue VAULT shot collects jackpots and advances the sequence. Other blue award shots increase the jackpot value.

• Lucy starts with V already collected. Later lunchboxes remove previously used blue shots from the available choices; use a remaining blue-lit shot. The Pro’s door stays closed and has no lower playfield.
• Entering a Vault pauses an active Quest. If the lunchbox awards Vault multiball, the Quest resumes alongside it after you finish the Vault sequence.

Vault Experiments (Premium/LE)

How to start:

Shoot the Jump Ramp into the Vault door to collect VAULT letters. After spelling VAULT, shoot through the open door to start the lower-playfield experiment.

What to shoot:

Use the flipper buttons to control Magna-Flip in the lower playfield. Press and hold to catch the ball at a magnet; release, then time the next press to aim the ball toward a required target.

What you earn:

Complete the experiment to earn a lunchbox. It can award Vault multiball or a legendary weapon. During multiball, shoot the quickly flashing blue VAULT shot for jackpots; the other blue award shots increase the jackpot value.

• Each experiment has its own objective. A radiation-leak experiment requires the loop; a raider experiment requires defeating the raider targets. Follow the experiment’s display rather than treating every Vault as the same mode.

Wasteland / Vault 4 multiball (Pro)

How to start:

Shoot the upper loop repeatedly to explore Places of Interest. On Pro, shoot the Sundries scoop when Vault 4 is lit to start its story multiball.

What to shoot:

The shots for each Vault 4 multiball phase are not yet documented in this guide.

What you earn:

Vault 4 starts with two balls. Completing a phase adds another ball.

• This Wasteland exploration feature is separate from spelling VAULT for lunchbox multiball.

Fallout Radio

How to start:

Hit the Radio Tower target to light colored music-note shots. Shoot a lit note to start its song.

What to shoot:

Follow the song’s scoring instructions. Hit the Radio Tower when its Radio Jackpot light flashes to collect the jackpot.

What you earn:

The song has its own scoring pattern. Some Enchanted Evening rewards loops; a flashing Radio Jackpot is collected at the Radio Tower.

• A Radio Jackpot can also appear as a last chance near the end of a song; collect it before that opportunity expires.

RadAway hurry-ups

How to start:

Hit the Radroach targets and collect lit RadAway awards. When a green RadAway shot flashes, shoot it to start the hurry-up.

What to shoot:

Shoot all three ramps to light RadAway Jackpot, then shoot the outer loop before time runs out.

What you earn:

The outer loop collects RadAway Jackpot. Each jackpot collection resets its timer.

• Each RadAway Jackpot collection resets its timer. The required number of RadAway awards to qualify the hurry-up is not confirmed.
• During Deathclaw multiball on Pro, hit all the Radroach targets to add a ball.

Fat Man (Premium/LE)

How to start:

Hit the Mini Nuke targets to light the Fat Man. Shoot the Pip-Boy ramp to load the launcher.

What to shoot:

Press the button as the launcher aims at the required shooting-gallery target to fire the ball.

What you earn:

The shooting gallery’s scoring awards are not yet documented in this guide.

• Switch hits fill the AP meter. With V.A.T.S. enabled, the Fat Man automatically aims at a selected target; press the button to fire. Pro has no physical launcher or shooting gallery.

Character choice

Before plunging, choose Lucy, the Ghoul, or Maximus.

• Lucy starts with the V in VAULT and Perception, which lets her steal any displayed shop item.
• The Ghoul heals from radiation. Radroach hits give him more quest time instead of reducing his health.
• Maximus can activate Power Armor with any available charge and keeps it running longer. Lucy and the Ghoul need at least half a charge.
• Earning XP enables S.P.E.C.I.A.L. perks. Read the Pip-Boy during perk selection for each perk’s effect.

Skill shot

Time your plunge so the ball reaches the right inlane while its bottle-cap light is lit. The skill shot lowers the Nuka-Cola spinner. Shoot the lowered spinner to collect bottle caps.

• The bottle-cap lights in both inlanes alternate on a timer.

Cap Stash

Roll through the inlanes to complete them and light Cap Stash. Roll through the flashing inlane to lower the Nuka-Cola spinner. Shoot the lowered spinner to collect bottle caps while it spins.

Sundries

Shoot the Sundries scoop to enter the shop. Spend your bottle caps on an item; read the Pip-Boy for the item’s effect.

• A Fusion Core supplies Power Armor. Nuka-Cola completes the inlanes. Buffout extends multiball. The shop’s inventory changes, so check which items are available.

Stealing

Shoot the Sundries scoop to enter the shop. Select Steal for an eligible item. If you get caught, shoot the right ramp before the escape timer ends to keep the item.

• Lucy starts with Perception, allowing theft of any displayed item. Without that perk, theft is restricted to the bottom item. The shop displays the chance of success.
• Escaping raises prices on later shop visits. Failing to escape can cost your remaining caps and Fusion Core.

Weapon upgrades

Hit the pop bumper and slingshots a combined 10 times to light the Junk target. Hit the lit Junk target above the left flipper to collect junk toward a weapon upgrade. Weapon upgrades increase playfield scoring for the rest of the game.

• Watch the weapon and junk counters on the display. Junk can also come from looting. If you have legendary junk, shoot Sundries to see the special trade offered for it.

Power Armor

Buy a Fusion Core at the Sundries scoop, or hit the targets around the left pop bumper to charge your core. Maximus needs any charge; Lucy and the Ghoul need at least half. Hold the Action Button to activate Power Armor and increase playfield scoring.

• Hold the Action Button again to turn Power Armor off; this costs some remaining charge. A short press uses a lit companion ability instead.

Companion ability

With a companion active and its ability lit, tap the Action Button to use the ability.

• Victor lowers the Nuka-Cola spinner. Mr. Handy can help with Deathclaw multiball.
• Leveling up restores a companion ability. A long press activates Power Armor instead.
