Special encounter

Special encounters are random encounters that usually don't fit the canon or the game world at all and are unique. They are in the game mostly for fun though some of them are very dangerous (Mad Brahmins) and some able you to get some nice loot (Bridge Keeper). Most of these encounter are references to pop culture or other games or even earlier Fallouts (The Cafe of Broken Dreams) Some special encounters can be revisited; a map circle much like a smaller city appears on the World Map where it was found. 'The Cafe' can be encountered anywhere on the map, leaving a new map circle each time.


 * There is a minimum level for each special encounter, to receive it.
 * Rarely, map encounters that would normally leave a map circle, do not.
 * Both, encounters that leave a map circle, and those that do not, will have to be reactivated in another map area once you decline to enter them.
 * Unlike running out of fuel for the Car on map squares with a City circle in them, the "Out of Fuel" circle will be accessible properly if it is near a random encounter circle, even the permanent ones.
 * Rock collectors wishing to take their collection to the next level may find a single rock in all of the special encounters other than 'The Cafe of Broken Dreams'.
 * If you get the Explorer perk, you will obviously get more Special Encounters, but that includes 'bad' ones such as 'Toxic Waste Dump'.
