Apocalypse, now streaming: Elgato debuts SPECIAL edition Fallout gear

Amazon may protest its innocence, but they probably wouldn’t mind at all if the new Fallout TV series sets the world on fire when it debuts today. To celebrate the TV show and the game series it’s based on, Corsair subsidiary Elgato is showing off a S.P.E.C.I.A.L.-edition collection of its streaming gear, including the Stream Deck controller, Wave DX microphone, Wave XLR mixer, and Wave Mic Arm LP.

All the gear gets the Pip-Boy aesthetic treatment, which is to say, it looks like it’s made out of rusty green steel and covered in retro-futurist branding. The Wave XLR is a particularly nice example, with tons of little touches that sell the Vault-Tec illusion. In addition to the branded hardware, buyers get access to free digital assets including game-accurate icons for the Stream Deck and a “Pip-Boy” voice modulator that makes it sound like you’re broadcasting out over an irradiated hellscape.

All the items are the same price as their non-Fallout standard versions ($150 for the Stream Deck, $160 for the Wave XLR, $100 for the Wave DX mic, and $100 for the mic arm), but you can get a bundle of all four of them from this promotional site along with an XLR cable for just under $460. That’s a $71 savings, but can you really put a price on making your streaming desk look like an Overseer’s console? (Yes, you can, the price is just under $460.)

In other Fallout news, Bethesda and Nvidia have teamed up to put both Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 on the GeForce Now streaming service.
