Walton Goggins Radiation TV Program exist Radiation 76.
The ghoul appears in Fallout 76 and comes with Goggins' similarities and sounds, part of the December free burning spring extension. Burning Springs extends the Fallout 76 map to Ohio, west of the Appalachian region (a fictional version of West Virginia and surrounding areas).
While not a playable character or companion, fans can encounter ghouls in “Last Resort” in Hub Area Highway Town, where he hosts a new bounty hunting mission. With the rewards, players can even equip the ghoul's gun as they see on the show.
During an IGN preview event, Fallout 76 production director Bill Lacoste and Fallout 76 creative director Jon Rush said Burning Springs was inspired not only by Fallout TV shows, but also by Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.
“We've all seen Season 1, right?” Rush said. “We saw the final situation. Kyle Maclachlan’s character stared at the new Vegas and you put DeathClaw Skull down the ground. So once Season 1 ended, we immediately started planning for Season 2. Now, we don’t know exactly when Season 2 will start, and then we started to sort out the content.
What we want to do with the new region is that we want it to really remind people of the things they know and love in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. So when we set out to make this new area we gave the team three pillars, well, well, it had to have desert, death circles, and ranges for me and fanatic. spring. ”
When the setup and bounty hunting system are fulfilled, the ghoul naturally enters the equation, and Rush continues.
“Okay, this is the new area: Desert, Death Claw and Raiders. That's the tone. What's the iconic feature of this new area or this update?” he said. “So that’s expensive hunting, right?
“Who is better at hosting the bounty hunting function than a ghoul, right? one Ghoul, yes this Ghouls in the show. So we start talking about that, Walton Goggins is certainly a big fan of the franchise. He is a big fan of the Olympics. So it does appear soon. We have people working on scripts on one side, people around them work on conversation scripts and are together. Of course, once Walton Goggins picked up the script and actually made his own adjustments, the ghoul actually came out. It was so cool to see him go from Walton Goggins to a ghoul like that. Really great. ”
I hope Fallout 76 will be Fallout Season 2This premiered on December 17, 2025. The arrival of the burning springs and ghouls in early December can make the most of the show's huge popularity.
An obvious question is, how does ghoul fit into the Fallout 76 timeline? It is worth remembering that after all the Fallout Video Games, the TV show was conducted in 2296. Fallout 4 took place in 2287, while Fallout: New Vegas was set in 2281, 15 years before the performance.
Meanwhile, the Fallout 76 timetable began on October 23, 2102, and is known as the Reclamation Day. This was 25 years after the War in 2077, when nuclear bombs destroyed the Earth, the earliest game in the Fallout series.

We know from Season 1 of Fallout TV that ghouls have survived for over 200 years. Before the war, Cooper Howard became a ghoul, ghoul was carried out from a nuclear explosion in 1955 and lasted for two centuries. The Fallout 76 is Canon, which means we know that the ghoul operates in Ohio during the timeline.
“In the radiation schedule, 76 times are the farthest,” Rush explained. “This show is the farthest time, and that's the ghoul we were introduced to the Amazon series. Fortunately for us, the ghoul retained itself through the ghoul. So the ghouls that exist in the 76 timetable make sense. Despite what he's doing in Ohio, or what I used to be, I've been questioning ghoul.
So, can we expect the burning spring water to bring to the Canon that radiates the universe?
“Yes, absolutely,” Rush said. “We've never explored this part of the map, so even if it's just adding a small part of Ohio, it really affects the knowledge of the whole consequences. Yes.”
“As most people know, there are only a few references to Ohio throughout the radiation process, so it's great to have a little bit of a gap in one area where we can build some early knowledge for the game,” Lacoste added.
News of announcing Goggins in Fallout 76 follows His response to Pete Davidson's prediction is that fans will “turn” to him like Pedro Pascal. He said: “If this is my destiny…well…f ***.
