The Vault Boy (Vaultボーイ, Vault Boy) is the mascot of the Fallout franchise.
Origin
The Vault Boy is the mascot of the company Vault-Tec, which designed post-apocalyptic shelters called Vaults to enable humanity to survive in the aftermath of a worldwide nuclear war, though the majority of these Vaults were in reality controlled experiments. The Vault Boy illustrates character statistics and selectable attributes, and from Fallout 3 onward, models wearable equipment. Vault Boy should not be confused with the Pip Boy; the wearable computer used by the player to access their inventory.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
As a costume
A DLC costume for Mii Gunner based on the Vault Boy was announced on June 22, 2020, and will be available for purchase on June 29.
In his reveal trailer, Vault Boy stands besides Duck Hunt. This is a reference to Dogmeat, a recurring dog companion throughout the Fallout series.
His weapon appears to be based off the Alien Blaster, an energy pistol that shows up multiple times throughout the series. His Vault Suit is labeled '111' on the back, a reference to the Sole Survivor's vault in Fallout 4.
Trivia
- Vault Boy is so far the only special DLC Mii Costume to not come with a music track.
