Meet the Brotherhood of Steel impersonators in Fallout 76! These guys are notorious for scamming people in the wasteland by pretending to be in the Brotherhood of Steel.
Yet again, a lack of fleshed out content and half done npc's and dialogue that could have made for exciting storyline content or even dailies of hunting these guys for the ABOS...
they seem like the normal BOS..just they need better power armor and a few laser weapons lol ----------------------------- Robert House on the BOS They're a terrorist group, basically. Militant, quasi-religious fanatics obsessed with hoarding Pre-War technology. Not all technology, mind you. You don't see them raiding hospitals to cart away Auto-Docs or armfuls of prosthetic organs. No, they greatly prefer the sort of technology that {emphasis}puts people in hospitals. Or graves, rather, since hospitals went the way of the Dodo. Because they're ridiculous! Because they galavant around the Mojave pretending to be Knights of Yore. Or did, until the NCR showed them that ideological purity and shiny power armor don't count for much when you're outnumbered 15:1. The world has no use for emotionally unstable techno-fetishists. Just wipe them out, will you? in the words of porter gage You know, I think I heard of you... some bigshot with the Brotherhood of Steel, right? They ain't that different from a Raider gang, you ask me. Just try and act all legitimate, but they still just take what they want. -------------------------------- They seem to be using the same Playbook as the BOS...walk around and, then demand you do what they tell you, or else.. Seems like the BOS i know.
the best part is that in Fallout 3, the BoS everyone knows is more impersonators then these guys are. Since the BoS are just assholes who want all pre-war tech for themselves, meanwhile the Capital BoS just wanna "help everyone get along!"
@@DrCranberry only Lions BOS is helpful and that is only semi-helpful. They complain about having to help others all the time. In fallout 4 after Lions death, the BOS sees Lions as a fool, and count it as a black mark on their history.
I got more of a Patriot Wannabe Cop vibe from them;applied for service but got turned down so they cobble together what they can and claim to be official
I wish we could identify ourselves as Brotherhood of Steel when meeting these 3, kinda like when we meet "Preston Garvey" in Fallout 4 and introduce ourselves as the general.
i met that dude with the real preston garvey as my companion and i was very disappointed that he didn't have anything to say about it. i want to say he "didn't like it" when i killed the imposter even.
@@timostrom5710 Yeah, you really think Preston would have something to say about it. "Listen, whilst you line your pockets, you make a mockery of not just my good name but that of the Minutemen in general..."
If you didn’t notice, when he chose the sheepsquatch option it started the free range public event which is the sheepsquatch event, so it really did summon a sheepsquatch
I actually like the guys and would have loved to see an option like "I know you're not Brotherhood, but here's 50 caps anyway." Also I find it super weird that they attack you after one of them explodes by no apparent fault of your own.
These guys, surprisingly are one of the most advanced people alive in appalchia. Theyre the only people with excavator pieces, T-51 pieces, and T-45 pieces. Only out-armored by the BOS, vault dwellers, hellcat mercenaries and technically the enclave. Impressive I'd say.
Guys, can we actually talk about how long all this would’ve taken? I know they have likely places to spawn but still. I’d be so pissed if a unclear dialogue option killed them cause I’d have to restart again
Omg Rifle...Barry had me rolling. What dev thought up this random encounter ? ...I mean ...seriously. but thank you for the vid and all you put out. Best wishes to you and yours
It would have made more sense if Bethesda added more dialogue for some closure to Shawn's misfortune and stating to Knight Shin that *we* randomly encountered those impersonators and dealt with them accordingly. I never ran into any of those knuckleheads, unfortunately.
I come across the fake brotherhood scammers last night. Told the one in the power armour that it's core was glowing. Next moment the core exploded killing him.lol
I've encountered this at least once which was a surprise to me. They were escorting a lot of people and the one with power armor was demanded that I hand stuff over but I use the speech check to tell him that these fusion core was malfunctioning which caused fusion core to blow up killing him turning most of the group hostile.
Oh deary me; looks like i'm going to be spending today on Brotherhood of Zeal recon patrol. But thanks for bringing this to us Rifle, great to start the day over here with some humour. had me spraying my coffee all over the place. 😂
How many characters did you have to swap through to get all of this? For the record, this is the first I heard of being able to meet them. But then I have over 2000 hours in FO4 and have never met the fake Preston Garvey either.
@@CaptainChard i only ran into him once and though he was from one of my mods but wasn't sure... lol, funny to find out it's a vanilla encounter i mistook for one from a 500+ modlist
I feel like these three were inspired from Red Vs Blue... Barry reminds me of Caboose definitely, Barnaby reminds me of Sarge and Buck reminds me of either Griff or Tucker
If you want a good chance to run into these fake BOS members..... Fast Travel to the Huntersville location turn around ( look out for the floaters on thd left ) & head to the cliff overlooking the Freak show ! I've run into Barney & his group many times here ! ( starting back months ago when the BOS update dropped )
I have been watching you videos all day! The video where you bought out low level players stuff was awesome! I made a 500+ level friend and he's been helping me level up and showing me the ropes and it means so much to me, cause I was LOST! Keep it up bro!!!
A brotherhood knight saying that people impersonating the brotherhood and robbing folk, is not their problem... Did the brotherhoods pride get thrown away along with everything else decent bout it in 76?
So…”pincer move, go go go” Cpt Miller in Saving Private Ryan. The Drill Sargent from Full Metal Jacket. Pretty sure there’s much more to be found with these three. I’m thinking Barry looks like one of the tankers in Battle of the Bulge.
Great work man. Just got back in to the game as I had dropped out after finishing the launch content. Haven't seen these NPCs yet but nice to look it for
i ran into these guys in the southern lookout point in the savage divide, got the blow up power armor ending. had no idea it was actually part of the BOS storyline. Some dedication by Rifle to get all the dialog
I just had a friend run in to them and I was trying to explain but your video will make it so much easier. Thanks . Till next time , keep pluugging , the video's are helpful.
"Now we need to cooperate with such primitives to fill our ranks" OG Fallout BOS about "normal" Wastelanders. Never saw them as Shiny Knights coming to help the Mankind.
Awesome video man. I don't have a lot of time to play now that I am older so being able to watch these at during the week helps so that on my downtime I can get on with the mission and not waist time and still know what is said. Would have been great to have this with NV and F3 lol
Barry had me laughing till i couldnt breathe. I really need to start walking to places instead of fast traveling. If u ever need any help making im normally on
I commend your tenacity for going through that for us. I've always wondered what happened or if it furthered the story any with the brotherhood but they're just goofy goons worth running into for a chuckle.
When I saw these guys I instantly thought back to the bandits from Skyrim passing themselves off as legit imperial legionnaires. So when I saw these guys I laughed soo hard I was in such a good mod I paid them and went on my merry way. Such a hilarious reference!
Cool but again they dropped the ball on making any of it connect. They have some great ideas but some of the decisions leave the game feeling half done. None of the decisions you make in the bos or wastelanders have "real consciences" like they claimed. Nothing like the other games. Thanks for your hard work did not even know this was a thing.
Imagine if there was a voiceline for when you were actually in the Brotherhood that's said. "That's funny cause I'm in the Brotherhood too." and they start panicking.
Well done Rifle! 😃 That's gotta be one of the most through & well edited showing of a game's #EasterEgg dialogue options. (whew, that was a mouthful!) Something worthy of such channels like @OddHeader and @FunWithGuru (awesome Easter Egg channels). 😁 Great job and thank you. 👍

Wait I just saw Barry yesterday but the other two were missing, he was being mauled by radscorpions
@@stormierbody8419 Barry had enough of being bossed around and tamed a couple of radscorpions to kill what he thought were his friends
@@flashstudiosguy Maybe after doing it a couple of times they felt like joining the BOS
@@Toasted-Cat I wouldn’t put it past Bethesda to make him do something like that unless that was what was supposed to happen
I wish we could identify ourselves as Brotherhood of Steel when meeting these 3, kinda like when we meet "Preston Garvey" in Fallout 4 and introduce ourselves as the general.
Remembered doing that in the game, it was funny lol
Especially after you become Knight Errant. Given these guys aren't BoS and it's so fancy, they'll crap buckets!

Which maxson? Elder Maxson or the founder maxson
@@Kai-1138 Either
@@MrMadre fair enough
God bless america
Funny part is, nearly 200 years after this encounter the brotherhood literally arrived in a giant metal airship at the commonwealth
yeah i thought so too, nice reference
Yeah they really messed that up didn’t they
and start doing what the Imposters do as well
200 years later, the world would probably be the same as pre-war. Because Fo76 is 20-ish years after the bombs dropped
Maybe the real brother was gradually taken over by the fake brother hood and that's why
If you didn’t notice, when he chose the sheepsquatch option it started the free range public event which is the sheepsquatch event, so it really did summon a sheepsquatch

IMHO "Brotherhood Barnaby" sounds like he's five seconds away from wanting to recite the Navy Seals Copypasta.
I kinda want to read it in his voice now
"We came here in a magic flying airship" That was a nice Fallout 4 reference
The one dialogue choice aren’t you a little short to be in the brotherhood of steel really cracked me up
Aren't you a little short for a Strom trooper

I've found them following train tracks by Morgantown

Got major RvB vibes from that line
Sounded like something Griff would say being in a situation like that.

13:55 that is a VERY well-timed Free Range event lol
I come across the fake brotherhood scammers last night. Told the one in the power armour that it's core was glowing. Next moment the core exploded killing him.lol
You were technically warning him
I've encountered this at least once which was a surprise to me.

The response with the airship in the sky is a reference to how the brotherhood of steel appeared in fallout 4
Oh deary me; looks like i'm going to be spending today on Brotherhood of Zeal recon patrol.
But thanks for bringing this to us Rifle, great to start the day over here with some humour. had me spraying my coffee all over the place. 😂
Wow, that really took a lot of effort to create. So many encounters to hunt down! Very much appreciated!
13:39
Love it how you basically unintentionally summons the SheepSquatch to your location
I recently started playing 76 again because of your videos keep up the good work and hope I encounter you in game rifle. Keep it real.
I swear when Buck said "move along" it reminded me of how Securitron act similar after paying to get the stipe
Don't know if anyone already pointed it out but there's a star wars ep IV reference at 4:16 in the +8 charisma option
finally some else noticed
Be careful, when i ran into them barry had a 11mm smg and he told me he fought a deathjaw and shot a paladin through the eyeslits.
Wasn't that said in fallout 2 also
@@silverbloodborne9495 In New Vegas during Honest Hearts too.
10:28 there are 3 divisions of the BoS; 1. The order of the Sword, 2. The order of the Shield. And 3. The order of the Quill
4:58 "Aren't you guys a little short to be in the Brotherhood of Steel?" Amazing Star Wars a New Hope
10:06 That is centuries of serious foreshadowing,
what's magical is the ship being foreshadowed. XD
I appreciate all the time you put into this one, nice job!
One of the best lines ever in a game when they are about to die is, "I love you Sarge."
4:10
[Intelligence 3 -] (Stare blankly into space)
😆🤣
when I first saw the FAKE Brotherhood of Steel I told him his power core was overloading and he went Boom.
Yep! That's the luck SPECIAL dialogue choice with Buck. I show a bunch of their SPECIAL dialogue options starting at 12:47 in this video!
Good work man! the most Pennsylvanian voice speaking out agains the Brotherhood Imposters. AD VICTORIAM BROTHER
How many characters did you have to swap through to get all of this? For the record, this is the first I heard of being able to meet them. But then I have over 2000 hours in FO4 and have never met the fake Preston Garvey either.
I've only met him once and I shot him cause I'm a raider lol
I met the fake one on nearly every playthrough. Began to get sick of it!
@@CaptainChard i only ran into him once and though he was from one of my mods but wasn't sure... lol, funny to find out it's a vanilla encounter i mistook for one from a 500+ modlist
When Barnabee says that we flew here on a magical airship that’s a redressed to fallout 4 when the brotherhood of steel cam to the wasteland
I feel like these three were inspired from Red Vs Blue... Barry reminds me of Caboose definitely, Barnaby reminds me of Sarge and Buck reminds me of either Griff or Tucker
Hey Rifle, this was a very detail look at these guys, good job.
I myself have still not come across them yet. Maybe one day.
If you want a good chance to run into these fake BOS members.....
Fast Travel to the Huntersville location turn around
( look out for the floaters on thd left )
& head to the cliff overlooking the Freak show !
I've run into Barney & his group many times here !
( starting back months ago when the BOS update dropped )
Thanks for taking the time to share some extra information over this random encounter!
Ran across these guys today. Very funny. Nice touch for sure. 🤣😎👍
when Barnaby says they flew in on a magical airship I thinks its a reference to fallout 4 when the brotherhood arrives on the prydwen
"Hehehe Barry's Awsome."
*proceeds to load half a mag into the back of his head*
Hey man hope your doing really good today and I hope your doing good and we can't wait to see more content from you bro keep up the awesome videos
'we flew here in a giant magical airship in the sky!' Give it a few years and that's a pretty practical form of transportation for the Brotherhood.
I have been watching you videos all day! The video where you bought out low level players stuff was awesome! I made a 500+ level friend and he's been helping me level up and showing me the ropes and it means so much to me, cause I was LOST! Keep it up bro!!!
When the guy in the Power Armor is using a Pistol, XD
better then the budget cuts in Fo4 lol, Yes the sarge dons the T-60 Mk.III yet has a tire iron for a weapon...
I didn’t know these guys even existed! after seeing this I went around the whole map and couldn’t find them :(
that is some real dedication.

I have also come across them on the road that runs between Lewisburg and Rollins Labor camp and just east of Garrahan mining headquarters on the road.
“We flew here in a giant magical airship in the sky” that’s a great fallout 4 reference
Can we just point out this guy got multipul dialogue options from a live MMO style game? Great work and dedication to this video!

Nice video, answered all my questions
Great work man. Just got back in to the game as I had dropped out after finishing the launch content. Haven't seen these NPCs yet but nice to look it for
Kinda sad that if your a knight errant or wearing bos gear i assume they don't say anything special
i ran into these guys in the southern lookout point in the savage divide, got the blow up power armor ending. had no idea it was actually part of the BOS storyline. Some dedication by Rifle to get all the dialog
I love that the sheepquatch makes a noise just as the free range event comes out
I just had a friend run in to them and I was trying to explain but your video will make it so much easier. Thanks . Till next time , keep pluugging , the video's are helpful.
"Aren't you guys a little short to be in the Brotherhood of Steel?" nice nod to Star Wars.
They could've been the cheap copy of the brotherhood of steel without pretending to be them, they could've actually been the brotherhood of zeal
I like how the event free range popped up as soon as you chose the Sheepsquatch dialogue
I can't believe I haven't run into these guys yet. Definitely gonna be on the lookout now. Thx Rifle.
I feel like Barnaby was at some point in the Bos but left and decided to have the other 2 help him with this scheme.
Great video thanks Rifle !! 😎👍❤️
"Now we need to cooperate with such primitives to fill our ranks" OG Fallout BOS about "normal" Wastelanders. Never saw them as Shiny Knights coming to help the Mankind.

Surprising you be able to make a Fallout out 76 video without your computer exploding
Why do I get a feeling they are suppose to be, Sarge, Simmons and Donut from RVB
Awesome video man. I don't have a lot of time to play now that I am older so being able to watch these at during the week helps so that on my downtime I can get on with the mission and not waist time and still know what is said. Would have been great to have this with NV and F3 lol

now ima start walkin around in that assortment of power armor for the memes
13:54 What great timing.
The flying airship line is like a little Easter egg to fallout four about the prydwen
I commend your tenacity for going through that for us. I've always wondered what happened or if it furthered the story any with the brotherhood but they're just goofy goons worth running into for a chuckle.
in my time spent, the sheepsquatch option has actually spawned a squatch. i believe it does most of the time.
“Barry Is just awesome.” *Procceeds to execute Barry as he is trying to flee.*

Hey, Buck's armor combo is really good to look at !
I'm gonna steal his look.
Be careful about the fusion core or else this will happen 12:59
Never thought in my life that i would see Cricket in a power armor. It's always sunny in appalacha
"I don't think pinching him is gonna help." xD
The play on ‘aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper’ 💀😭
I love that the one in power armor kinda sounds like fry when he says cheese it.
Perfect timing for the sheepsqatch event to begin
barnaby definitely committed stolen valor before the bombs dropped
Cool but again they dropped the ball on making any of it connect. They have some great ideas but some of the decisions leave the game feeling half done.

Experience Points. And a few stims. Oh! And a level up to boot
I love how barnaby literally talks about the prydwen
So many fucking plot holes Jesus Christ I hate 76
Imagine if there was a voiceline for when you were actually in the Brotherhood that's said. "That's funny cause I'm in the Brotherhood too." and they start panicking.
I just stared at them blankly, and they thought I had shellshock or PTSD and rolled out
Well done Rifle! 😃 That's gotta be one of the most through & well edited showing of a game's #EasterEgg dialogue options. (whew, that was a mouthful!)
Something worthy of such channels like @OddHeader and @FunWithGuru (awesome Easter Egg channels). 😁 Great job and thank you. 👍
When I first met them I was so impressed I built a brotherhood of zeal base in the cranberry bog (just a couple of trailers and a broken house)
isn't it kinda ironic how "free range" quest appears exactly when you tell them aboutthe sheepsqach
Never encountered them. I play a lot too. Thanks for the vid.
we should call these guys the Brotherhood of Steal
I love the negative intelligence dialogue options
Bro imagine sending these guy to your camp, buck would send you to get stuff, Barnaby to kill stuff, and barry for.. the comic relief?
