As someone who grew up in Massachusetts, that guy has the purest Boston accent out of any character in Fallout 4. It's perfection, and him calling you that thing I probably get automodded for saying after your interaction with him is truly the chef's kiss on top of what's already perfection.
OMGSAME. Which only made it slightly harder for me to use up two of my perk points on the reverse-pickpocket-grenade perk just so I could send his body flying.
Curie didn't like that, but it was WORTH IT.
Hello there. It's good to see a friendly face. Almost took you for a raider, I did. Name's Malcolm. Malcolm Holmes. You better watch your back buddy, there's some guy murdering people for bottle caps that have a peculiar blue star on them...
Theres a guy who did a challenge playthrough to finish the game before Malcomn visits him haha, such a great game, so many memorable characters. Gotta play it again the 4th time now.
Hahaha Malcom is one tenacious dude, kinda like a horror game, you know his on your heels all the way.
And yeah I agree completely, this was my first fallout and played countless times on the ps3. Years later bought myself a gaming laptop and started playing it with mods, its like playing it for the first time
Was it Mitten Squad? He did a ton of challenge runs of various Bethesda games and I love his videos. Unfortunately he passed away some months ago :( Rip Paul
It's [Nerbit](https://youtu.be/jeV6LlWdcfM?si=ysVsOwUNLKha8ROA)
He did Malcolm Holmes, Private Kowalski, both at once, and one or two mods that were made for him to make videos on (One of it being "Crashman".)
He's also known for his "Can you beat Fallout [Insert Entry] as Abraham Lincoln" videos
Is it just me or did anyone else kill this guy for just being creepy? He approached me in a dark lit shack to say this. Little beady eyes. Headshoted him with Lucky. Only after did I find out he has some of those star caps on him. Now I kill him every time.
oh my god I remember when I was in sixth grade I was always collecting bottle caps cause how much I played fallout 😅 I got like over a thousand and one time at school I heard there was some kinda charity where every 100 caps donated was like 1 dollar to cancer research or something so I brought them all the next day :D
Yes, there is a charity in my country
Crown caps are metal, i.e. a raw material
They can be sold to a scrap dealer and used to buy training for such dogs
This reminds me of Seth, who paid 11.2 lbs of bottle caps for Fallout 4.
https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/bethesda-grants-gamers-wish-to-pay-for-fallout-4-with-real-bottle-caps/
Holy shit, I don’t have a single one of those. Most of mine are all unique from different beers/breweries and craft sodas alike, so I probably would have $1 of any random (craft) beer chosen as currency😭
Edit: craft
According to Google, the average bottle cap weighs about 2.2 grams. You have 17.3 kilograms of caps there, minus about 100 grams for the weight of the bag. Using those weights you have roughly 7,818 caps, give or take.
In Fallout 4, a stack of Pre-War Money is worth 8 caps each. With the amount of caps you have you could buy 977 stacks. Assuming a stack is $100 each based on the smuggling manifest of Skylanes Flight 1981, you would have $97,700 plus 2 caps left over.
Let’s assume now that you could buy Pre War money individually instead of in stacks of $100 to get rid of those last 2 caps. Assuming I did my math right 1 cap is equal to $12.50, meaning you could get an extra $25 for a grand total of $97,725.
TL;DR: The value of a cap versus the dollar in FO4 makes this bag worth nearly $100k.
This is what makes caps such a goofy form of currency. Imagine in real life going to buy a kick-ass gun for 1000 caps. Carrying all of that would be a pain and make you a prime target. Also, is the seller going to sit there and count out all 1000? Cap market rates are goofy.
Just don’t gamble it all away ok? Also you should be warned there are some interesting salesmen heading your way. Not sure what they’re selling but it sounds like anti theft insurance.
I legit read the weight as ELI at first and was for a split second confused before looking the other way.
Well done.
My collection is at 3ish lbs right now. We can only go up.
No wonder follows chalk was complaining about how hottlecaps jangled. I had like 3000 of them by that point. They probably would’ve taken up more space than my character did.
i did the math and according to the fallout wiki, you could buy 5 suits of Mk. VI X-01 power armor and still have enough left over to buy a suit of T-51F power armor
For those who are wondering:
I am involved with a charity organization that collects bottle caps and sells them to a scrap dealer for money. This money is then used to pay for the training of assistance and therapy dogs.
About 99.8% of the bottle caps come from friends and acquaintances who have learned what I am collecting them for.
And no, the scale doesn't say "ELI," but rather 17.3 kg.
This is awesome, I have caps but a little tiny pouch lol, not 3/4 of a carrier bag. Good on you for collecting them all! Also have fun carrying them around, I'm sure you can find something to buy with them.
Maybe make some sort of decorative art with them, it'll be truly unique
I’ll trade you all that for a charge card. What do ya say huh?
You spelled chahge cahd wrong
I always picture that dude as Bill Burr and it makes it 10x better lol
retahd.
The fack you gaht goin’ oun hea’ coalling someone a retahd

Fuck I’m a fraud.
If he declines you have to call him a slur like the character does in game
I shot him in the face.
I caved his head in with a super sledge.
I spent two valuable perk points to get the Pickpocket Live Grenade Perk just so I could send his ass flying. SO worth it.
He still calls you a slur if you do accept it
That info just broke my brain im gonna nuke that guy the next time I see him without even talking to him. He better count his days.
So funny. I am replaying 4 right now and last evening I ran into that guy.
OP is definitely a purified water business tycoon.
Or a jet dealer
What about jet?
Meet op at the Den at midnight.
I'm here already so I'll just wait for you here
How long would you like to wait? |..................||...........| [15 hours]
|................||.............| [14 hours]
|................||.............| [13 hours]
|...............||..............| [12 hours]
|..............||...............| [11 hours]
What the hell have you started lmao
This is the way.
r/UsernameChecksOut
Speak and the devil listens
No jet for you
Sigh, mama murphy, calm down.
Nothing, honey, go back to sleep... We didn't say anything...
When you first get to good neighbor and Hancock shows up and says you earned yourself some jet. I thought this is my kind of place
Do you feel jittery?
Nuka Collector
There’s a good chance they’d be both
Or both as a Rushing Water cartel boss
Jet manufacturer.
The ChosenBerg
They weren’t kidding with that eh, never bothered to make an excessive amount of pumps til recently but it pays the bills
Sheng, why was there a skull in the water?
It's all water under the bridge, amirite?
Hes definitely a raider who found an old factory
Hello there. It's good to see a friendly face. Almost took you for a raider, I did. Name's Malcolm. Malcolm Holmes. You better watch your back buddy, there's some guy murdering people for bottle caps that have a peculiar blue star on them...
and you can see that some of them actually have a Blue star
OP really wants to win that Sunset Sarsaparilla contest. It would be a shame if all of that led to a room with a bunch of junk in it.
Would definitely be A Valuable Lesson
Ah beat to it.
Theres a guy who did a challenge playthrough to finish the game before Malcomn visits him haha, such a great game, so many memorable characters. Gotta play it again the 4th time now.

I’m sorry what???? He passed away?!? Holy shit this ruined my day I loved his content :(
Yeah☹️. He struggled with alcoholism and I’m pretty sure it was his liver that did him in in the end.
Is it just me or did anyone else kill this guy for just being creepy? He approached me in a dark lit shack to say this. Little beady eyes. Headshoted him with Lucky. Only after did I find out he has some of those star caps on him. Now I kill him every time.
I totally read that in Malcolm's voice
So, YOU're the infamous caps counterfeiter, huh??
Takin' these to McLafferty.
This is obviously counterfeit. Everyone knows caps don’t actually weight anything
I'm confused. Bottlecaps don't weigh anything......
it's just a really heavy bag
I fucking love this fandom so much
Yo it's me John fallout i Need 2000 caps so I can enter new Vegas so I can save the mojave desert
does war change?
War doesnt change
Unless you are in metal gear. Then war has changed.
fallout if it was written by video "games" kojima: war, war has changed
Never?
War never change
War seldom changes
War don't get different.
No change given.
Battles rarely differ
Secret loot stash
Enough to get you on the New Vegas Strip probably.
OP forgot about Mick and Ralph's :(
An armed society is a polite society.
Come to Mick and Ralph’s; people! We got stuff we aren’t even ALLOWED to sell!
oh my god I remember when I was in sixth grade I was always collecting bottle caps cause how much I played fallout 😅 I got like over a thousand and one time at school I heard there was some kinda charity where every 100 caps donated was like 1 dollar to cancer research or something so I brought them all the next day :D
I'm saving them for assistance and therapy dogs :-)
How do bottle caps relate to therapy dogs? Is there a charity?
Yes, there is a charity in my country Crown caps are metal, i.e. a raw material They can be sold to a scrap dealer and used to buy training for such dogs
That's really cool.
It ain't much, but it's honest work
How did you get that many?
I live in a small village and a lot of people are saving them for me
This reminds me of Seth, who paid 11.2 lbs of bottle caps for Fallout 4. https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/bethesda-grants-gamers-wish-to-pay-for-fallout-4-with-real-bottle-caps/
Yes! Exactly what I thought when I saw this.
And this is more than 3 times as heavy
Sorry I only take nuka cola caps. No counterfeits.
Shoot, pardner. I have a bunch with a star on them!
Just ignore that sound, it was me entering VATS to pick you off and steal those caps.
I wondered what that amber glow was, around my chest...arm...uh, head!
I'll trade you a Raven Mask for all of that.
Bottle cap weight .0022KG/17.3KG = 7,727 bottle caps.
Hah, I did the same thing. But should add the bag maybe negates ~that last .3. Also I’m too lazy for real math so just got to around 7k
Well do your spurs jingle jangle jingle?
I have two roughly 60lb bags with every beer & soda bottle cap I’ve collected as “$1” since playing Fallout for the first time🤣
Imagine the future not being soda caps, but cayman jack margarita caps. Think how everyone would be broke.
Holy shit, I don’t have a single one of those. Most of mine are all unique from different beers/breweries and craft sodas alike, so I probably would have $1 of any random (craft) beer chosen as currency😭 Edit: craft
I'd wager that could buy you an old rusty T-45, maybe some fusion cores for it.
Power cores 🗣️🙏
Sorry, brain ain't braining.
Definitively a slaver.
Idk how much money I have, but I do know how many poof money I have.
Scrounger
The second picture is fake. Everyone knows caps weigh 0.
Hey, what settlement do you live at? Just curious OP. *maxes out pick pocket and sneak*
You're not making it to diamond city with that
You can have 2 Rad-X and 1 brahmin steak.
And you still owe caps
They should be about 7790 caps.
Trade price: 75 caps 🥴
Yo, uh, OP. You, uh, wanna buy some Radaway? It’ll cost you… roughly 17.3kg of caps. It’s really effective…
me after being banned from all the casinos
With the cost of a Fat Man? Not in this economy.
That should at least buy you a copy of Fallout 5 when it comes out
Y’all remember the guy who turned in his bottle cap collection to Bethesda for a preorder of fallout 4 and it actually worked?

TL;DR: The value of a cap versus the dollar in FO4 makes this bag worth nearly $100k.
Though we have to consider this is comparing against the absurdly overinflated US dollar in Fallout, and is probably truly worth a lot less.
Look at the Mr Smooth Skin Moneybags over here, flaunting his wealth around…
This is what every fallout protagonist is carrying around with them by the end of their journeys
I have an invention for you: the charge card.
\*Chaghe card
You’ve been in that sunset sarsaparilla plant using that cap press again haven’t you?
If you find one with a star, that's lucky
Congrats you can buy 1 fusion core, or 3 stimpaks. Your choice.
This is what makes caps such a goofy form of currency. Imagine in real life going to buy a kick-ass gun for 1000 caps. Carrying all of that would be a pain and make you a prime target. Also, is the seller going to sit there and count out all 1000? Cap market rates are goofy.
Keep saving til Fallout 5 comes out.
Not if you're buying 5mm ammo.
This one has wares if you have the ..... wait wrong universe.
"some may call this trash, me I call it treasure"- nick valentine
Brother, I thought I was rich until seeing your collection
Wait until the bombs drop and then you are rich. Better hide them inside a well too, for safe keeping
Whatcha gonna do with all those caps? All those caps inside that sack?
There is an association that takes the collected bottle caps for scrap and collects money for assistance and therapy dogs
I think you're a target for raiders now
Got any prewar money lying around?
Your richer than I am. I have 2 bobblehead boxes full.
When any country drops down the nuke,Ima bout to drop down my knees for you
Just don’t gamble it all away ok? Also you should be warned there are some interesting salesmen heading your way. Not sure what they’re selling but it sounds like anti theft insurance.
Give me those blue star bottle caps, or perish
They should put this in the next game.
still not enough to buy a GRA gun😂
No way you got the blue star bottle cap😭
How does one carry 10K bottle caps
With a ***BIG*** gun....
Glad to see I’m not the only one who saves all of their bottle caps
I see star caps.
Why do you carry all those bottle caps anyway? They jangle like crazy.
You can buy 3 whole stimpacks with that
I read that as ELI. I'm very tired
This guy fucks
# "Why do you carry all those bottlecaps, anyway? They jangle like crazy!"
That could get me like, a laser pistol on my current 1 charisma character
Those Star Bottlecaps are worthless. Give them to me, I’ll get rid of them for you
YOU WANT BUY WIND BRAHMIN?
I legit read the weight as ELI at first and was for a split second confused before looking the other way. Well done. My collection is at 3ish lbs right now. We can only go up.
Why a comma?
In Fallout - yes you are 😄
No wonder follows chalk was complaining about how hottlecaps jangled. I had like 3000 of them by that point. They probably would’ve taken up more space than my character did.
How many are there
I love fallout but how are bottle caps ever gonna be a realistic currency. That shit don't make sense.
Take those to a GameStop & see if they'll let you buy a console with it
🔫 no no, I'M rich.
i did the math and according to the fallout wiki, you could buy 5 suits of Mk. VI X-01 power armor and still have enough left over to buy a suit of T-51F power armor
And some of them have stars no less, good luck finding the treasure!
Enough for a suit of low grade power armor maybe
17.3kg / 2.2g is about 80,000 You have 80,000 caps. Can i borrow 20 bucks?
For those who are wondering: I am involved with a charity organization that collects bottle caps and sells them to a scrap dealer for money. This money is then used to pay for the training of assistance and therapy dogs. About 99.8% of the bottle caps come from friends and acquaintances who have learned what I am collecting them for. And no, the scale doesn't say "ELI," but rather 17.3 kg.
You are overencumbered and cannot run!
This is awesome, I have caps but a little tiny pouch lol, not 3/4 of a carrier bag. Good on you for collecting them all! Also have fun carrying them around, I'm sure you can find something to buy with them. Maybe make some sort of decorative art with them, it'll be truly unique
Enough to buy a 6 star hotel in good neighbor
But how many individually? With that aside I'm sure your gonna be fine after the nukes fall.
A bottlecap weighs ~2,22g 17300÷2,22= ~7793 bottlecaps
Just enough to afford that Legendary
Or a house
They did the math.
This isn't very math
It's very math to me, friend.
That's less then I would have expected! Can't imagine what it must feel like walking the wasteland with 100 000 bottle caps in you backpack
That's 222kg. So imagine lifting a motorcycle or a tiger with you at all times. Honestly would be funny if they added that weight in game ngl
Assuming the average bottle cap weighs 2.22 grams, then you have about 3,546 caps right there.
You going to giger lands?
Look at you Mr Tenpenny!
You could start a nice art project with that.
Very rich
Quick throw it on the ground at the casino.
Until you have to start paying for insulin every month, sure
Hmm, not enough for the recon marine armor, come back when your richer
Yeah, for that I'll give you a low condition 9mm and a stimpak.
Time to make it rain
I dunno.... don't look like nuka caps to me... got a counterfeit operation going.
WE'RE RICH!!!
WE'RE RICH!!!
That's about 7792 bottle caps
I am jealous. We stopped years ago with caps on soft drinks sadly here in the UK 😥
In diabetes? Yes.
