Prepare your mobile for Fallout 4, with this official keyboard
Fallout CHAT is the perfect keyboard for all fans of Fallout. Download it for free to send Vault-Tec themed emoticons and animated GIFs from your phone.
Vault Boy is the hero
Fallout CHAT is an alternative keyboard for your phone. In addition to including a new look for your keyboard, it also comes packaged with 60 new themed emojis never before seen.
These emojis feature Vault Boy along with his female counterpart, and represent all the emotions that you need in a chat: joy, anger, love, party, murderous stranger, zombie created from the irradiated wastes of your former city…
Additionally, Fallout CHAT includes animated GIFs, also of Vault Boy, in a retro black and white movie style. This will be instantly recognizable to all fans of the series – or indeed anyone who has been paying attention to Bethesda’s marketing material for the game.
The usual keyboard with emojis problem
The emoji and animated GIFs of Fallout CHAT can be used in any app messaging: Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram… The problem is that, as with other alternate keyboards, emojis are sent as images.
This is purely a technical issue: emojis have a specific format, and anything that deviates doesn’t work in the same way. Yes, receiving images of Vault Boy it is fun – especially if you’re a fan of Fallout 4 and all previous games – but it is not as fluid an experience as you may hope.
Regarding keyboard keys, the round typewriter aesthetic Bethesda has chosen proves less comfortable and responsive than usual keyboards.
Fans will love it
As an alternative keyboard, Fallout CHAT is not particularly good. It is missing some characters and other important features. But for Fallout fans it is great. So, if you love the series, go ahead and download it!
