Fallout Season 3: Breaking Down the Enclave and Their Master Plan for the Wasteland
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Polygon breaks down the role of the Enclave in the Fallout season 2 finale and what their mysterious Phase 2 plan means for season 3.
Prime Video's adaptation of Fallout just wrapped a massive second season, leaving viewers with plenty of threads to untangle as we look ahead to season three. While factions like the Brotherhood of Steel and Caesar's Legion are certainly shaking things up, the finale made it clear that the Enclave is stepping into the spotlight as the ultimate puppet masters. Originally reported by Polygon, the season two finale reveals that this secretive shadow organization has been pulling the strings behind Vault-Tec and the U.S. government all along, orchestrating the very nuclear apocalypse that shaped the franchise.
As RobCo CEO Robert House points out in the finale, even his calculated predictions were outmaneuvered by the Enclave's long game. The group's influence stretches across the centuries, allowing them to monitor transmissions from New Vegas and the Vaults with ease. When Vault 32 overseer Stephanie Harper finds her leadership crumbling, she uses a secret Pip-Boy to contact the Enclave and kick off a mysterious initiative called Phase 2. Given what we know about Vault-Tec experiments and the grim history of the franchise, this next phase likely involves the infamous Forced Evolutionary Virus.
For players and fans deeply familiar with the lore, the prospect of the Enclave deploying FEV on unradiated Vault dwellers spells disaster for the Wasteland. These pristine test subjects offer the perfect canvas for creating a controlled army, pushing the faction closer to absolute dominance. As we wait for the next chapter of the show to drop on Prime Video, this deep dive into the Enclave's historical manipulation gives the community plenty of theories to chew on.
