Fallout 4 Fan Builds Real-Life Shishkebab Weapon

A talented Fallout 4 fan has created a working version of the Shishkebab in real life, as seen in the game. The Shishkebab from Fallout 4 is a sword that allows players to set their enemies on fire, and now a real-life version of it exists in the hands of one fan of the series.

The Fallout series is approaching its 30th birthday in the next few years, and its impact on fans has been enormous.

Over the years, there have been a ton of amazing fan creations based on the Fallout series. Just recently, one gamer made an awesome Fallout mixtape, paying homage to the series' most iconic songs across all the games.

The Shishkebab is one of the best melee weapons in Fallout 4, but it's certainly the type of item that most wouldn't expect to make the jump from in-game to real life too well. However, as this footage shows, with the right creator behind it, the Shishkebab works just fine.

Fans of the game were extremely impressed with the creation, with one person saying, «Sick as hell, stay safe tho.» It's clear to see how there could be some safety concerns with the Shishkebab, but CaptainNotSoCool does seem to be handling it in a responsible manner. Another user joked that «Amazon Prime video would like to hire you for the second season,» with CaptainNotSoCool claiming that it «would be a dream.» Considering a fan's cosplay made it into the new Fallout series, it's a dream that might not be too far from reality, if this Shishkebab creation catches the eye of the right people.

It has been extremely exciting to see the Fallout franchise's boost in
