Homer Saperstein

Homer Saperstein is a character in Fallout 76. He is 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.

Background
He claims to be a socially awkward man who spent a lot of his time avoiding contact with other people. It is unknown if he is actually human and he claims his "designation" is Homer. It is hinted that Homer may not be fully alive as he uses the phrase "I have spent most of my years alive" which suggests he lacks a living biological body. He claims he is not physically present because he is 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. He says he has always been fascinated with other galaxies and that it is his life's purpose to study them.

He claims to have an assistant who is helping the defense against the invasion by monitoring their movements. Homer is able to understand the language of the aliens, though admits it is only a rudimentary understanding of their speech. He says he is able to tap into the communications channels of the aliens because they are close to Earth. He claims the goal of the aliens is research. Although he is unsure what their ulterior motive is, he posits that the aliens are determining what to do with humanity and the planet. Homer seems to have a lowly view of humanity empathy, saying he doesn't expect human empathy to extend beyond their own species.

Interactions overview


He 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 must hunt The Emissary during the random encounter and kill him to get the Mysterious Key. The Vault Dweller can speak to Homer who reveals more information about himself, though still very vague. He mentions the TNT site is his base of operations where he conducts research and that he has developed an aerosol formula. Accepting to use it results in 5% bonus damage against aliens for a limited time. He also reveals he has another private shelter besides the TNT site which he retreats to during breaches.
