There are four primary factions inFallout 4: the Brotherhood of Steel, The Railroad, The Institute, and The Commonwealth Minutemen, and each offers its own unique content to explore and rewards to unlock. OneFallout 4player was doing some Railroad content as they caught an unexpected moment when a Railroad Agent blows themselves up.
Reddit user HellmannsRealityMayo recently posted a briefFallout 4clip in which they are at The Railroad headquarters in the Old North Church.Fallout 4players need to follow a series of clues scattered around the post-apocalyptic Boston Commonwealth to discover this faction hideout that provides another hub in addition toThe Prydwenand countless Minutemen Settlements. The central Railroad location is part of a large network of catacombs located underneath parts of Boston and the Old North Church, and the cramped hallways have some holes taken out of the walls, which are vulnerabilities to the infrastructure normally guarded by Railroad Agents.

HellmannsRealityMayo’s video begins with theFallout 4fan standing next to one of the unsuspecting Railroad Agents guarding the entrance to Tinker Tom’s workshop inRailroad HQ. Tinker Tom states that “the math looks tight,” before the nearby Railroad Agent’s gun seemingly explodes which causes the NPC to fall to the ground in a heap without their arms. The Railroad Agent then returns to their feet after a short spurt of blood from their wounds and appears unfazed as Tinker Tom says, “yeah, too much nitroglycerin. Back to the drawing board,” suggesting The Railroad Quartermaster set the nameless NPC up for failure.
After the Railroad Agent’s unfortunate accident in HellmannsRealityMayo’s clip,Nick Valentineruns up to the armless character in reaction to the explosion. The Railroad Agent then faces the player to say “vault blue, huh? Not a bad look” which confirms that the NPC has been barely affected by the blast or their missing arms. HellmannsRealityMayo’sFallout 4clip then ends with the player interacting with the injured Railroad Agent to get some sort of reaction that reflects the events that unfolded, but instead, they’re told about running Synths out of the Commonwealth.
Although mostFallout 4NPCs are killed from explosions like the one shown in HellmannsRealityMayo’s clip, theFallout 4player admitted that an installed mod may have kept the character alive. Given the fact that the Railroad Agent affected by this explosion is nameless and provides little else to theFallout 4Railroadgameplay, it’s unlikely that HellmannsRealityMayo would’ve been too negatively impacted if the character died instead. According to HellmannsRealityMayo, there’s a mod called Live Dismemberment installed on theirFallout 4playthrough which allows NPCs to brush off the loss of limbs like in the case of the Railroad Agent’s arms that were blown off.
Fallout 4is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
