Fallout players everywhere have been horrified to learn they’ve been making hacking much harder than it ever needed to be. And they’ve been doing so for years.
TheFalloutfranchise is enjoying a well-deserved bit of time in the sun right now.Fallout 76is better than it’s ever been,Fallout 4hashad a massive new update, andAmazon’sFalloutseries was the catalyst behind it all.
With so many people picking up a Fallout game for the first time,a lot of new discoveries have been made. And I have to say I, for one, was genuinely shook to realise this little hacking secret.

For those that aren’t too familiar with the Fallout games, it’s possible to hack certain terminals to gain access to private documents, disable defences, or open doors and safes.
For example, an attempt at hacking in Fallout might go: Dead (1/4) - Dune (3/4) - Dude (success).
If you make four guesses and don’t succeed, the terminal locks. In some Fallout games this means you’re permanently locked out unless you manage to find a password written down somewhere, while inFallout 4you can just wait a while and try again.
