I don't believe that the Institute would've sent Gunners to retrieve whatever they were looking for at HalluciGen. They would've sent Synths or Coursers to retrieve it, because it would be easier to send their own (the gen 1-2 Synths wouldn't betray the Institute). Gunners might betray their clients for their own gain.
I honestly doubt the Gen 3 synths would be immune, because while they are primarily synthetic, they are still 'living' beings. I mean, they still drown, indicating they need air, which would mean that changes in the composition in the air would also affect them. That said, the older ones for sure would be immune. Oh God, can you imagine a Courser that's been exposed to the fumes? It'd be a nightmare to fight for anyone that isn't nicknamed 'Sole Survivor' or 'Blue'.
Revenue is NOT the same as Profit. Profit is revenue less expenses. (9:47) $1.1 billion ( *revenue* ) - 2.9 billion expenses = _negative_ $1.8 billion (a *loss* of $1.8 billion) This is less cooking the books then misrepresenting what is in them.
@@downwithputinsaveukraine1313 But the document does NOT say "Net Revenue" just "Revenue". Hollywood is infamous for having high revenue films supposedly having no net revenue. One of example was Return of the Jedi which cost $32.5 million and made $475 million at the box office...yet according to Lucasfilm in 2008 the film "has never gone into profit". This is by throwing things like advertising and a host of other little accounting slight of hand into the costs effectively killing the net profit. This is why any actor with any sense goes for *gross* profit not net.
It is even better as he didn't lie on the second draft: There was no mention of a profit of 1.1 Billion, just a revenue of 1.1 Billion. This is likely the value of the entire company, and he was simply restating this value and saying 'see, all is good' instead of stating anything of substance. Much better then informing the investors that they lost over fifty percent of the companies value in a single quarter.
Better yet...revenue can be shifted forward or back from prior or future quarters. He could have stated the expected revenue from the following 20 years...
"We get attacked by an invisible Gunner, he has used a stealth boy." I love the sudden shift in tone how it went from dramatic to casual like it was nothing.
Only thing I have to point out, when it came to re-writing the press release, they didn't "Technically" lie about their finances between the two. The first one is obviously discussing losses which would be revenue minus expenses, while the second one is strictly reporting revenue. This is actually common tactic businesses will use to look better financially than they are. It's likely the hallucigen actually did have 1.1 billion in revenue, it's also likely that the reason they were 1.8 billion in the whole was they had 2.7 billion in expenses (hence the 1.8 billion shortfall). Yes I know it's trivial, yes I know I'm a finance nerd for knowing this, your comment is duly noted, now shut up and get off my lawn.
That guy right at the start... it's only a small thing, but this is something that always has bothered me in the new Fallout games. _"Hey, I am a coward, so please go to this place with 10.000 mutated Ghoul-Raiders in power armor, kill them all, waste all your ammo, get me that thing that is worth 50.000 caps and I give you... let's say... 200 caps? Sounds like a deal?"_ And usually you will hear this sentence from someone who has just charged you 1.000 caps for 20 shotgun shells and a stimpack. It just makes no bloody sense...
I think the grenade is meant to be the real reward, but 200 caps is pretty pathetic even if the mission is not hard by our standards. I should be able to sell him that canister for at least 3000 caps considering they are limited.
I mean, for all the shit we toss at Skyrim, Bounty missions and other minor radiant actually did scale septim rewards. I mean, you always got 20 septims for bringing Balgruf's sword to that skinflint, but on the other hand you also could get pretty rich on bandit and dragon bounties at level 30 or so in the base game.
i might have missed it, but i did notice something. when exposed to the gas in hallucigen from the hallway, it was on my way out, to the front door to leave since i came through the back. When i reached the door to the exit, instead of it saying 'commonwealth' or whatever area of town i was in, it was garbled random letters that spelled nothing.

Great video as always, but I don't think the Institute hired the Gunners. They would've just sent their own synths, which would've worked out better anyways, seeing as how the gen 1s and gen 2s would be immune to the gas.
I don't think that Father would have any interest in these technologies either, he seemed pretty single-mindedly focused on Synths. Institute's weapons and armor tech had hardly advanced beyond state of the art prewar stuff.
Well something to make something invisible sounds like Institute style to me. Synth or even bases in the Commonwealth that are hidden permanently, while the Eradicator could be meant to actually clean areas. I mean if they heard about the tech but never got any details a less evil application could have been on Father´s mind.
"Without the messy side effects of our competitors offerings." I can see how this would 'peacefully clear an area of civilians' but not the bodies. Makes me wonder what the other competitors had to offer.
Irony: Oxhorn spends 26 minutes saying how horrible the employees of the Hallucigen company were for experimenting on unsuspecting, unwilling citizens of pre-War America. Then he gets the hallucigen grenades and starts chucking them at unsuspecting, unwilling citizens of post-War America.
It's a classic way to misstate a company's financial situation without technically lying (it's still considered willful deception though); state the gross revenue without mentioning expenses so people not paying attention don't realize you're stating gross revenue, not net profit.
actually he is spinning the numbers instead of reporting that they lost 1.8 billion he is reporting that there total income of 1.1 billion is better than they expected. thats atleast how i would spin it in his shoes.
They earned 1.1 B, but the overall balance (profit) is -1.8 B, which means that their costs (salaries, resources, materials) were 2.9 B. If you look at earnings, the picture looks great, but the profit is the number that actually matters.
I made the grenades and used it on the Gunners in the living quarters of Vault 95. It made ferreting them out of that back room easier as I had to deal with just one wounded one.
Technically, most of them are ultimately working, albeit somewhat unknowingly, for the Enclave. If there was such a thing as a "Bad Guy" in Fallout, it would be them.
Oxhorn, I'm a finance major and the accountant didn't switch from $1.8 billion loss to $1.1 billion gain. He just changed the wording from net operating loss, which is the bottom line, to revenue, which is the top line, and makes it sound better!
17:57 'He's not hostile, but he's not sane. What's the right call.. do you let him suffer, or put him out of his misery?' Oxhorn: *Immediately whips out Plasma Rifle*
I got this quest while doing the side quest “ the lost patrol” and right outside the bunker with paladin brandis there was a dead scavenger with a note saying there was good loot at halucigen and to go investigate.
if it was the institute, wouldnt they have just sent synths to recover the stuff? things unaffected by gas and what not? wouldnt have they known about the gas leak from recon of the area?
The issue with pinning this on the Institute is the same as the Brotherhood, the Institute has its own army and they do use it to conduct raids. The institute doesn't trust anyone to do their job for them.
But Oxhorn, don't forget that you can find synths searching around other facilities in the game. If the Institute wanted the technology in that place, they would have sent Synths to retrieve it, it would spare them the trouble of hiring manpower. On the other hand, and this is just a bit of a random thought: If one of the factions, be it the Brotherhood or the Institute wanted to "scout" the area because they found the name "catchy" and wanted to see what happened, then we can also pin this either on the Brotherhood or the Institute. Both would need some "sacrificial pawns" for the experiment (it is unlikely the chemicals would work on synths, and I don't think the Brotherhood would waste their own people to verify the effects of the product).
The chemicals will only work on gen 3 synths as they are almost 100% human so sending in a courser would be a mistake and just standed gen 1s and 2s are not that tough compared to gunners who the institute finds them to be collateral damage as long as they get that tech so wasting synths in this building would be a mistake.
Lazarous hcizirG I wont disagree, but both the Institute and Brotherhood have a pretty low opinion of Gunners, so I am not putting aside the chance of the Brotherhood hiring the gunners and sending them in. Despite all this, its just my opinion. For the truth we would have to pester Bethesda for it. xD
Elijah Jackson hallusagen hides from the government vault tech doesn't and the government would know about all of Vault techs actions So no good theory tho!

Sir Potoo railroad is one of the 4 major faction, the fact one of them have been inside that building is pretty big of deal, although railroad isnt exactly a big powerful faction like institute or bos, it still a big of a deal.

Maybe its Travis talking about it on the radio. Plus. The railroad agent can just wear some kind of gas mask and explore the building reading the terminal and all.

1:37 The drugged water sounds more like Radithor to me. Radithor was a medicine back then and it was water and radium mixed together and it took away any pain you felt and it made you feel stronger and energetic. They took it off the shelves after one guy took too much of it and his jaw fell off because of the radiation. The more you learn. 👁🗨
Vault-Tec: Hey, nice inhumane experiments maybe one day we should work together and create the absolute most gruesome experiments. Here is our number ***-***-****
You know, it occurs to me that nun of the money rewards people offer you are really worth a dam. Even when you press them for as high as they'll go it's still not that much. I have to say, the practices of this company aren't really that unusual by Fallout standards. It seems a lot of reserch was really shady. Like what happened at the armor R&D lab, the Vault Teck Overseer from Vault 88... and most of the others. I would also cite the institute as evidence of this, as there practices are an extension of the ones that were in place before the "war". Vault Teck did way more than Hallucigen as they had far more reach. Sheer volume makes them worse.
Kaqitudo Do EMPs affect vacuum tubes and the like? I know they affect microcircuits, which were never invented in the Fallout universe. Also, what sort of range does the EMP blast have? Maybe all the working terminals are outside that range.
Not sure how effective EMP is against tube-based tech. Even so some of the places you go that have military contracts could also have "hardened" terminals
They're solid state and use some weird, hyper-advance vacuum tube tech instead of transistors and IC's. While they're not immune to EMP, they are much more resilient against it, and easier to shield. Fun fact: Most military computers in places like STRATCOM or NORAD? They still use the same kind of tech, for the very same reasons. You can make solid state electronics just as fast and capable as the powerful, yet comparatively flimsy, integrated circuits. They just end up being large and heavy.
i don’t play video games but i legitimately only watch to listen to your voice! the way you speak so clearly is so interesting to me. it’s weird i know i know but the way you tell the stories is so refreshing!
I am literally obsessed with watching these videos. I love the work that goes into these for the most in depth backstories that I am too lazy to explore into lolol
Oxhorn have you yet to cover the Gunners? I find them to be an iteration of the ebony armor clad Mercs of Talon company. Nevertheless an interesting faction. I wish the player character had the option to join them.
Zeo Fox They are. More specifically, Vault-Tec trained middle school students to do military training with a combat simulation. That is what you see when you enter the area of Vault 75 that kind of looks like a little shantytown or if youve played BO2 Zombies on buried it might remind you of that.
18:53 Fun fact, if you stand in the hallway immediately after activating the terminal and turning on the decontamination spray, it will clear all of your rad damage.

I mean if they heard about the tech but never got any details a less evil application could have been on Father´s mind.
I think Jack Cabot is actually the Gunner client.

When I finally got a flawless 6 best iv shiny Pokemon for 20 years of search.
"Without the messy side effects of our competitors offerings."
I can see how this would 'peacefully clear an area of civilians' but not the bodies. Makes me wonder what the other competitors had to offer.
Irony: Oxhorn spends 26 minutes saying how horrible the employees of the Hallucigen company were for experimenting on unsuspecting, unwilling citizens of pre-War America. Then he gets the hallucigen grenades and starts chucking them at unsuspecting, unwilling citizens of post-War America.

Ah, Paul. Revenue is not the same as profit. Their expenses must have been $2.9 billion for the same quarter.
I was looking if someone pointed this out so i could otherwise.... Revenue != Profit :D
It's a classic way to misstate a company's financial situation without technically lying (it's still considered willful deception though); state the gross revenue without mentioning expenses so people not paying attention don't realize you're stating gross revenue, not net profit.
Oxhorn's real name is Paul? Huh....
Oh wow nice catch

It is a different character. Notice how you hear both male and female sole survivor dialogue in this video.
Oxhorn
Wow, I'm pretty stupid for not realizing that. Also thanks for replying! Never change, Ox, you're one of the most humble RUclipsrs I know.
Oxhorn you're one sick daddy-o
hey umm, were did you get the pipe from that your character has? I saw Ox having a pipe in his mouth at 25:59 and it looks really cool.
Oxhorn yea bc later on it changed back to 34
18:00 the best moment in the entire video.
actually he is spinning the numbers instead of reporting that they lost 1.8 billion he is reporting that there total income of 1.1 billion is better than they expected. thats atleast how i would spin it in his shoes.
I laughed at that when I played it through - revenue isn't the same as profit!! Good spin doctoring though.
They earned 1.1 B, but the overall balance (profit) is -1.8 B, which means that their costs (salaries, resources, materials) were 2.9 B. If you look at earnings, the picture looks great, but the profit is the number that actually matters.
I found this location from an Eyebot wandering the Waste replaying a "looking for help" ad.
I made the grenades and used it on the Gunners in the living quarters of Vault 95. It made ferreting them out of that back room easier as I had to deal with just one wounded one.
Vault-Tech, Hallucigen, and Big Mountain/Think Tank, The big three of human experimentation.
The big cheese of them? Hallucigen
@@PretzlcoatlTheFirst *Government
Technically, most of them are ultimately working, albeit somewhat unknowingly, for the Enclave. If there was such a thing as a "Bad Guy" in Fallout, it would be them.
Oxhorn, I'm a finance major and the accountant didn't switch from $1.8 billion loss to $1.1 billion gain. He just changed the wording from net operating loss, which is the bottom line, to revenue, which is the top line, and makes it sound better!
17:57
'He's not hostile, but he's not sane. What's the right call.. do you let him suffer, or put him out of his misery?'
Oxhorn: *Immediately whips out Plasma Rifle*
I got this quest while doing the side quest “ the lost patrol” and right outside the bunker with paladin brandis there was a dead scavenger with a note saying there was good loot at halucigen and to go investigate.
if it was the institute, wouldnt they have just sent synths to recover the stuff? things unaffected by gas and what not? wouldnt have they known about the gas leak from recon of the area?
I'm pretty sure that the Gunner's Note says that the Gunners were the ones that caused the gas leak. So before that, the building was clean
when you make riot suppression gas that makes the riot more intense
*_INSERT TRIGGERED HALLUCIGEN SCIENTIST COMMENT_*
Devesta the seaker O O F
(Insert circle with the hallucigen logo with sunglasses doing a it’s alright gesture)
The issue with pinning this on the Institute is the same as the Brotherhood, the Institute has its own army and they do use it to conduct raids. The institute doesn't trust anyone to do their job for them.
Except Kellogg.
But Oxhorn, don't forget that you can find synths searching around other facilities in the game. If the Institute wanted the technology in that place, they would have sent Synths to retrieve it, it would spare them the trouble of hiring manpower.
On the other hand, and this is just a bit of a random thought: If one of the factions, be it the Brotherhood or the Institute wanted to "scout" the area because they found the name "catchy" and wanted to see what happened, then we can also pin this either on the Brotherhood or the Institute.
Both would need some "sacrificial pawns" for the experiment (it is unlikely the chemicals would work on synths, and I don't think the Brotherhood would waste their own people to verify the effects of the product).
The chemicals will only work on gen 3 synths as they are almost 100% human so sending in a courser would be a mistake and just standed gen 1s and 2s are not that tough compared to gunners who the institute finds them to be collateral damage as long as they get that tech so wasting synths in this building would be a mistake.
Lazarous hcizirG I wont disagree, but both the Institute and Brotherhood have a pretty low opinion of Gunners, so I am not putting aside the chance of the Brotherhood hiring the gunners and sending them in.
Despite all this, its just my opinion. For the truth we would have to pester Bethesda for it. xD
Oxhorn except he was a synth as well.
Does anyone else think that hallucigen supplied the gas used in vault 106 from fallout 3.
Elijah Jackson hallusagen hides from the government vault tech doesn't and the government would know about all of
Vault techs actions
So no good theory tho!
Maybe
@red jedy ponton i highly doubt anyone other then the enclave knew the true purpose of these vaults.
Elijah Jackson I was thinking the same thing
Despite hating Gunners,I can't help but feel bad for them for what the chemicals had done to them.
Gunners are human scum that don't deserve to live.
It's just one fringe group of them
@@ThatImmo there mercenaries not Raiders bro chill
@@Licmebro but they are still pieces of shit they take any job no matter wahta as long as money isbimvolved so if u pay them to raid a village they will do it if u pay them to murder innocent ppl they will do it
@@Licmebro Mercs that attacked and nearly destroyed the Minutemen who's only objective is helping settlements grow. They don't even ask for money. They maintain their gear on their own and have to farm for their own food and water. It helps that said settlements are more than happy to return the favor and contribute back to the Minutemen but they do that on their own initiative.
13:20 Voice said: “Try HalluciGen suppressor!” but on the text says: Try The Suppressor from HalluciGen!
I wish that peaceful gunner can be a settler

You missed the Railroad sign by the entrance to the building 😉
It was just a danger sign, nothing interesting.
Sir Potoo but it show the railroad have been in the building, realizing how dangerous the building can be and telling other people to not go in.
Sir Potoo railroad is one of the 4 major faction, the fact one of them have been inside that building is pretty big of deal, although railroad isnt exactly a big powerful faction like institute or bos, it still a big of a deal.
Lord Hobo Of Savior - Yet there is not a single dead Railroad Agent inside or directly outside the building.
Darth Vader they dont need one of their agent to die to realize its dangerous.
The locals already talk about how dangerous inside of that building. I feel like they have. Maybe its Travis talking about it on the radio.
Plus. The railroad agent can just wear some kind of gas mask and explore the building reading the terminal and all.
A company better than the current Konami.
Wrong comment section, me.
i dont get it
Lol still works
*Looks at EA*
Fallout: features a corrupt company performing inhuman experiments on innocent civilians

Aperture is somewhere in between HalluciGen and Vault-Tec.
Amanda Barr combines are from half life
18:09 yeah i can hack terminals with lockpicking expert its so easy
Kenny Wiratrijaka dude that’s not very nice some people might struggle with it
How is it?
I feel like Bethesda were saying "Everyone knows Vault Tech is really evil, but it's a bit too subdued. Let's make a company that forces a visceral reaction from our players."
I would love Oxhorn to read me a book because his voice is so calm and cool.
BaymaxDaBomb 3 oxhorn tells cool stories but he doesn't have a calm voice at all lol
Captain Baddboy yeah he does you neanderthal
@@car9472 lmao
your voice is like an ear full of molten caramel. have you considered doing audiobooks.
Best comment ever. Now I want some molten caramel.
Oxhorn Do a audio book about fhe history of fallout! I shall start a petition

So the Irradictor is the Fallout version of Agent Orange?
Meh kinda
argella1300 Except Irradicator has the decency to outright kill you instead of having it ruin your lungs, embed in your skin, and cause genetic defects for generations. (I have family that has been severely hurt by Agent Orange, but they can’t get help considering the US went into forbidden and undocumented zones.)
White Phosperus
awesome
Yeah nothing like AO
17:55 Oxhorn, the best application of your morality yet. :D
1:37 The drugged water sounds more like Radithor to me. Radithor was a medicine back then and it was water and radium mixed together and it took away any pain you felt and it made you feel stronger and energetic. They took it off the shelves after one guy took too much of it and his jaw fell off because of the radiation. The more you learn. 👁🗨
Vault-Tec: Hey, nice inhumane experiments maybe one day we should work together and create the absolute most gruesome experiments. Here is our number ***-***-****
That was a good roast on the Mesmetron lead engineer, lmao.
I really enjoy your storytelling skill and the way in which you present the videos. Congrats on a terrific channel.
You know, it occurs to me that nun of the money rewards people offer you are really worth a dam. Even when you press them for as high as they'll go it's still not that much.
I have to say, the practices of this company aren't really that unusual by Fallout standards. It seems a lot of reserch was really shady. Like what happened at the armor R&D lab, the Vault Teck Overseer from Vault 88... and most of the others. I would also cite the institute as evidence of this, as there practices are an extension of the ones that were in place before the "war".
Vault Teck did way more than Hallucigen as they had far more reach. Sheer volume makes them worse.
I love your voice and when you go low, makes the lore feel like it's more deep and interesting.
Thank you for making these videos, makes downtime at work a lot more pleasing
When I walked In this place I was so scared for a Nora and Shaun jumpscare. Something like them saying "you could have saved us".
Considering the civil unrest ongoing in the States during this time, it scares me to think how frequently Hallucigen products were used.
We know it was used on protestors at one of the nuclear power plants in Fallout 76.
Nothing is worse then prestonHarvey always asking you “another settlement needs your help, here ill mark it on your map”
NOOOOOOOOOOO
"prestonHarvey"
What is making me confused is when the bombs dropped it let off a emp right? So why are the terminals still working?
Kaqitudo ask Bethesda as even I don't have an answer for thay question.
Kaqitudo Do EMPs affect vacuum tubes and the like? I know they affect microcircuits, which were never invented in the Fallout universe. Also, what sort of range does the EMP blast have? Maybe all the working terminals are outside that range.
Not sure how effective EMP is against tube-based tech. Even so some of the places you go that have military contracts could also have "hardened" terminals
Kaqitudo the future.....
They're solid state and use some weird, hyper-advance vacuum tube tech instead of transistors and IC's. While they're not immune to EMP, they are much more resilient against it, and easier to shield.
Fun fact: Most military computers in places like STRATCOM or NORAD? They still use the same kind of tech, for the very same reasons. You can make solid state electronics just as fast and capable as the powerful, yet comparatively flimsy, integrated circuits. They just end up being large and heavy.
As soon as I thought the Fallout 4 story was lacking, I discover Oxhorn. This guy is a great storyteller. Excellent work.
i don’t play video games but i legitimately only watch to listen to your voice! the way you speak so clearly is so interesting to me. it’s weird i know i know but the way you tell the stories is so refreshing!
10:50 no clever accounting required. Revenue vs profits.
really u use a gas gernade on a robot
Blood Reaper 88 what's a gernade? do you mean grenade?
I shouldn't have laughed at that
So true I know a Jew when I see one.
Noah The Texan 👏
0:05 made me laugh more then it should.
11:45 all of the doors where open for me from the start and the buttons told me that it didn't seem to be working
I am literally obsessed with watching these videos. I love the work that goes into these for the most in depth backstories that I am too lazy to explore into lolol
That private sounds super paranoid but looks super calm
Oxhorn I love ur videos keep up the good work mate
Oxhorn have you yet to cover the Gunners? I find them to be an iteration of the ebony armor clad Mercs of Talon company. Nevertheless an interesting faction. I wish the player character had the option to join them.
Justin Farrar I always thought the gunners were from vault 75
Zeo Fox They are. More specifically, Vault-Tec trained middle school students to do military training with a combat simulation. That is what you see when you enter the area of Vault 75 that kind of looks like a little shantytown or if youve played BO2 Zombies on buried it might remind you of that.
18:53 Fun fact, if you stand in the hallway immediately after activating the terminal and turning on the decontamination spray, it will clear all of your rad damage.
Man, I'm totally hooked to your fallout videos. It's like watching a documentary show. Thank you so much for you interesting narrative and thorough details! I'm even considering playing fallout 76 just to keep up with your videos about it
