Homer Saperstein

Homer Saperstein is a character in Fallout 76.

Background
They are the announcer during the Invaders from Beyond event. When Appalachia is under invasion by hostile aliens, Homer assists the defense efforts by monitoring their movements and broadcasting to the Vault Dwellers at the invasion sites.

They claim to be socially awkward and spent a lot of their time avoiding contact with other people. Homer does not expect human empathy to extend beyond their own species. They state that they "have spent most of my years alive." Homer claims to not be physically present because they are not ready to interact with other humans personally, and that the image and voice the Vault Dweller sees is merely a "designed likeness" and a modulated voice. They state that they have always been fascinated with other galaxies and that it is their life's purpose to study them.

They mention having an assistant who is helping in the defense against the invasion by monitoring movements. Homer is able to understand the language of the aliens, though admits it is only a rudimentary understanding of their speech but does know that the goal of the aliens is research. Homer is able to tap into the communications channels of the aliens because they are close to Earth.

Homer can be contacted inside Black Mountain Ordnance Works, specifically TNT Dome #8, during the Invaders from Beyond event, although only through a monitor. The player character must hunt The Emissary during the random encounter and kill them to get the Mysterious Key. The Vault Dweller can speak to Homer who reveals more information. It is revealed the TNT site is Homer's base of operations where they conduct research on the aliens and that they have developed an aerosol formula. Accepting to use it results in 5% bonus damage against aliens for a limited time. They also reveal they have another private shelter beside the TNT site which they retreat to during breaches.
