The Zeta Aliens have been a staple of the Fallout franchise ever since the series started and have featured in many games, usually as mere Easter eggs. The most significant role was in the Fallout 3 DLC Mothership Zeta which saw players beamed up into the titular spaceship and forced to fight for their freedom against a small armor of annoyed Zetas. While it's a comparatively silly expansion compared to some of the game's other add-ons, it does result in some of the most unique items and weapons.

Fallout 76 may have started its controversial life on a rocky note thanks to its unfinished state at launch but in the years since, Bethesda has managed to turn the ship around. Plenty of substantial content updates driven by the community and feedback from players have resulted in an experience that manages to maintain a steady audience. The success of Prime Video's Fallout series has only increased the game's popularity as its current player base is higher than it has ever been.
