The act of cosplaying characters from your favorite game is a common pastime for gamers. Some players might try to dress just like a character from the series, while others might come up with a unique idea that might mash ideas together. Fans of the Fallout series take their ideas and turn themselves into inhabitants of the wastes.
Cosplays for the Fallout series can range from gender-bended Vault Boys to reimagined versions of a favorite gang. A fun part of looking as cosplays of the series is seeing what version of a certain character the cosplayer comes up with.
10 Boone
Boone used to be an NCR sniper before he left the army. After that, he can become the companion of the courier in Fallout: New Vegas. @thefalloutfamily on Instagram made their version of Boone pretty well.
The cosplay features Boone's red 1st Recon beret, an item he never takes off by choice, and the normal clothes Boone is first met in. Seeing this cosplay is sure to make players think of the long, silent walks they had through the Mojave with Boone by their side.
9 NCR Soldier
The NCR soldier is a common sight through the Mojave Wasteland when playing Fallout: New Vegas. The cosplay looks like it could have come right out of the game, including the body armor with the NCR bear on the front.
Created by @escapethe1218 on Instagram, this armor will make players wish for nuclear winter. A few nice touches are the details in the helmet, such as the picture of a woman.
8 Piper Wright
Piper Wright is the journalist the player can find as they enter Diamond City in Fallout 4. The cosplayer @redchaoscosplay recreated Piper Wright perfectly.
The cosplay can be spotted easily due to the bright red coat and the newsboy hat. A nice touch is the camera slung over her shoulder, giving a reference to Piper's occupation as a journalist.
7 Atom Cat
This cosplay is inspired by the Atom Cats in Fallout 4. The cosplayer for this outfit is @radmaxcosplay and captures the greaser group perfectly.
The pistol being used looks identical to the 10mm pistol found in the game, and it can be noticed the Pip-Boy was made by the cosplayer. Fans of the many greaser groups in the Fallout series will enjoy this cosplay and its throwback to the 1950s.
6 Dog Companion
When contemplating cosplays, you most likely think of a person wearing something from the game. This cosplay is unique, as it is a dog that is wearing a bandana and armor, much like the dogs found in Fallout 4. The owner of this cosplaying puppy is @teamemeraldcos on Instagram.
Despite being a small dog, this cosplayer captures the animals of the waste so well. It is already impressive to make a cosplay from the series but to make a dog cosplay makes this very memorable.
5 NCR Ranger
The NCR Rangers are the deadliest forces in the Mojave Wasteland, and seeing this cosplay will make any player want to grab their own version of the armor. The creator of this cosplay is @cratersidecreations and recreates the NCR armor very well.
The armor looks like it came straight from a police station, and the gas mask looks very similar to the helmet that can be found in the game. If the Great War ever does happen, the owner of this armor will be prepared for the aftermath.
4 Joshua Graham
Joshua Graham used to be a legate in Caesar's Legion until he was burned and thrown into the Grand Canyon. The cosplayer @gleb_isbjorn_cosplay took on the recreation of this iconic character. Joshua Graham is first seen in the Honest Hearts DLC, where he is covered in bandages.
The cosplayer featured a Bible, which Joshua Graham can be found reading when idle around camp. While not pointed out in the DLC, it is nice to see a version of Joshua Graham where he is performing an innocent task instead of holding a gun.
3 Pre-War Outfit
This cosplay is unique when talking about Fallout cosplays, as it features a Pre-War outfit that can be found in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. The cosplayer @schiimapan created this outfit, giving a unique take to a Fallout cosplay.
The dress copies the style of the Pre-War outfit, having a pink top with a flowery bottom part. While this cosplayer could have found a dress that looks similar, she decided to create her own, making this cosplay unique. Wearing this will give any wastelanders thoughts of a time before society collapsed.
2 Cat Dweller
There is nothing wrong with a normal vault dweller cosplay, but this cat takes it to the next level. The owner of this cat is @cat_cosplay, a cat who cosplays from different series. While cats were not found in most of the Fallout games, this cosplay will make players wish they were.
Cats and dogs were most likely brought in some vaults when the bombs dropped, so it is amusing to think the animals were given their own vault suits to match their humans. There is also something very amusing about thinking of a vault opening and a few cats in vault suits walking out.
1 Hancock
Hancock is the ghoul mayor of Goodneighbor in Fallout 4, while possibly becoming a companion. The cosplayer for this ghoul is @copperspoon_ and captures the iconic ghoul perfectly. The face paint makes it look like the cosplayer is missing bits of their face and nose, too.
While Hancock's outfit is John Hancock's found in Boston, the cosplayer does a good job recreating it. The clothes look like they belong in the late 18th century, and the cosplayer keeps the flag belt that Hancock has as a belt.
