Fallout: London practices safe sex in the weirdest way possible

Fallout: London practices safe sex in the weirdest way possible

Ahoy there, fellow gamer! Let me share with you my take on this delightful twist in Fallout: London that has got the gaming community buzzing. As a seasoned survivor of the post-apocalyptic wasteland, I’ve seen it all – from mutated beasts to barren landscapes, but never have I encountered a use for condoms quite like this!


It appears that Fallout: London, an anticipated mod for Fallout 4, carries an unforeseen theme about safe sex, urging players to ‘stay protected’. Despite Bethesda’s Todd Howard indicating that the official Fallout series will probably stay within the USA, it falls upon creative modders like Team FOLON to bring this vision to life.

Initially, there was apprehension that Fallout: London wouldn’t emerge from the River Thames due to the team’s announcement that an update for next-gen Fallout 4 had delayed its release. However, on July 25, we were able to raise our flag above Buckingham Palace, signifying its arrival. It’s evident that this game offers a distinct contrast to the Americana of Bethesda’s Fallout, and with these differences come some intriguing nuances.

Fallout: London has a unique use for condoms

Condoms protect from radiation. This is a first….

1. On the Fallout: London subreddit, it’s been mentioned that the Jimmy Hats offer a +20 Rad Resist. For those who may not get the humor, Jimmy Hats are hats symbolizing a man’s private area, colloquially known as a ‘Jimmy’. In the irradiated streets of London, consider wearing a condom instead for protection.

Someone else pointed out how Jimmy Hats aren’t exclusive to Fallout: London, with the item appearing in Black Isle Studios’ Fallout 2. They were used for a more traditional reason back then, with Fallout 2’s Jimmy Hats stopping you from getting NPCs pregnant during intercourse. The red ones were even a cinnamon bun flavour.

In the game Fallout 4, your typical Vault jumpsuit offers only a +10 boost in Radiation Resistance. Therefore, carrying Jimmy Hats as an extra accessory could prove beneficial during emergencies. When one player proposed using Jimmy Hats to interact closely with Ghouls, another replied humorously, “Found a new interest: immersing my jimmy in radioactive material.”

A supporter quipped humorously, “It’s wise to buy in bulk now for everyone. You know, just in case. If your significant other questions why you have 200 items stored, you’re merely being cautious, right?” Another fan shared, “I wasn’t aware of the term ‘Jimmy hat.’ Initially, I thought they were just round cookies individually wrapped in colorful packaging.”

We’d politely suggest you don’t go around trying to eat Fallout: London’s Jimmy Hats, but this clever joke shows just how invested in expanding the world’s lore the team is. Fallout: London is already a fan-favourite overhaul, but with its middling review scores due to a slew of bugs and glitches, we might let it stew for a bit longer before putting on our Jimmy Hats and hitting the mean streets of Laaaaandan.
