The Premium edition distinguishes itself from the Pro with a Vault lower playfield powered by Magna-Flip magnetic flipper technology, a multi-axis Fat Man launcher with V.A.T.S. targeting, a Nuka-Cola Bottle Cap spinner with first-of-its-kind mechanical vertical travel, an inverted upper flipper, a Mechanical Vault Blast Door, and a sculpted Deathclaw bash toy with kickback coil and taunt sequence. Stern introduced the Fallout family on September 3, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border:none;border-top:1px solid #d1d5db;margin:24px 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#000;margin:28px 0 12px;letter-spacing:-0.3px\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eMulti-Axis Fat Man Launcher with V.A.T.S.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eThe Fat Man launcher rotates on two axes, physically repositioning before each shot so the ball's outgoing trajectory changes with player input. When the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System activates — replicating the slow-motion targeting mechanic from the video games — it takes automatic control of the launcher's aim, driving the pivot motion as a physical cabinet action visible from outside the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eVault Lower Playfield with Magna-Flip Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eA secondary lower playfield — themed as a Vault-Tec vault — sits beneath the main playfield surface. Magna-Flip technology uses magnetic actuation to drive the flippers in this lower zone rather than conventional mechanical linkages, producing a distinct ball response separate from the upper field. The Mechanical Vault Blast Door opens to grant access, tying mode entry to a visible cabinet mechanism that bystanders can track from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eNuka-Cola Bottle Cap Spinner with Vertical Travel and Inverted Upper Flipper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eThe Nuka-Cola Bottle Cap spinner uses a mechanical up-and-down travel motion — a physical configuration not previously seen on production pinball machines. Paired with it on the upper playfield is an inverted flipper, mounted upside-down relative to conventional flipper orientation, delivering a play geometry that has not appeared in production pinball in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eSculpted Deathclaw Bash Toy with Kickback Coil and Taunt Sequence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eA three-dimensional sculpted Deathclaw figure sits on the playfield as a bash target. The kickback coil behind it fires the ball back into play on a direct hit, and a taunt sequence triggers after each contact. The sculpt, kickback, and taunt feature are specific to the Premium and LE configurations and are absent from the Pro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eInteractive Pip-Boy LCD\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eA replica Pip-Boy, created in collaboration with WAND Co., sits on the playfield as an interactive LCD display. Its screen updates in real time during play to reflect active modes, character stats, and event triggers — giving both the player and nearby observers a readable status window without requiring them to track the main display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eInsider Connected with S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

Players advance Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck levels across multiple sessions — progress is cumulative and persists between games. When all seven attributes reach level 10, exclusive new modes unlock per character: Lucy MacLean, The Ghoul, and Maximus.

On the main field, the Deathclaw bash toy kicks the ball back on a direct hit and fires a taunt sequence, while the Nuka-Cola Bottle Cap spinner rises and drops as the ball passes through. When the Vault Blast Door opens and the ball enters the lower playfield, Magna-Flip magnetic flippers take over for a separate sequence before returning the ball to the upper field. The Fat Man's pivot motion before each launch and the Blast Door's opening are the two most externally visible mechanical events — readable from across the room during an active game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#000;margin:28px 0 12px;letter-spacing:-0.3px\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:12px 0\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f1f5f9;border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;color:#000\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background:#f1f5f9;border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;text-align:left;font-size:13px;font-weight:600;color:#000\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eFallout Premium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eDesigner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eKeith Elwin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eYear Released\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003ePlayer Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e1–4 players\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eDimensions (Assembled)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e27 in W x 55 in D x 76 in H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e270 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eLicensed Soundtracks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eFallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout: New Vegas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eCustom Callouts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eJohnny Pemberton (Thaddeus, Fallout TV series)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eTV Series Emmy Nominations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003e27 across seasons 1 and 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #d1d5db;padding:8px 12px;font-size:13px;color:#1a1a1a\"\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"border:none;border-top:1px solid #d1d5db;margin:24px 0\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:22px;font-weight:800;color:#000;margin:28px 0 12px;letter-spacing:-0.3px\"\u003eWhy Operators Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:16px;font-weight:700;color:#4a8fe8;margin:20px 0 6px\"\u003eInsider Connected Requires No Operator Hardware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1a1a1a;margin:8px 0\"\u003eThe Stern Insider Connected platform — including the cumulative S.P.E.C.I.A.L. perk system and cross-session level tracking — runs through Stern's infrastructure.
