While the game allows the player to explore the map at their own pace, Brannigan’s path would be much more direct, allowing players to reach New Vegas much sooner. Though it is a much more difficult path for new players to take, considering that a dedicated player has previously beaten Hardcore mode in Fallout: New Vegas with boxing gloves, Zapp Brannigan’s new route would certainly be an achievable challenge. Stating that the regular route is for schoolgirls, Zapp Brannigan instead suggests “ a route with some chest hair,” which would take the player on a shorter path heading North-East from the starting town of Goodsprings directly to the city of New Vegas. The suggested path is a route that many NPCs in New Vegas will ask players to take, which steers players to explore the bottom half of the Mojave Wasteland, before leading them upwards towards the city of New Vegas- an area that is central to the conclusion of the game’s main storyline.

While Obsidian has previously stated that it was “ very doubtful” that it would be making another Fallout title, the possibility of a Fallout: New Vegas sequel was renewed when Microsoft purchased ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks. The game, which has garnered a cult following, is widely regarded by both fans and critics as one of the best in the Fallout franchise, and many pleas have been made to both Obsidian and Bethesda for a sequel. Released in 2010, Obsidian Entertainment’s entry in Bethesda’s Fallout franchise remains a fan favorite due to its captivating narrative and impactful player choices. The meme format features Futurama’s Captain Zapp Brannigan, a goofy military commander who forgoes advice to take a simple path to their destination in favor of taking a more dangerous route. Using a Futurama meme, a Fallout: New Vegas fan has hilariously mocked the route that players are recommended to take to explore the map.
