We’re back to unbox Loot Crate’s October Gaming crate! If you liked what you saw this week, but weren’t totally sold on picking up a subscription, maybe this month’s crate will.

First on the list is this awesome Fallout-themed shirt, which is exclusive to Loot Crate. For all the Fallout fans out there, I’m sure at least one of these Vault Boys represents you, unless you’re like me and haven’t finished a Fallout game (don’t hate me).

Next, to celebrate the upcoming release of Gears of War 4, this month’s crate also comes with a small Lancer figure!

Unfortunately, the blade looks a little used, but I’m sure most of you won’t mind. I’m definitely adding this to my small collection, right next to my model of the SSV Normandy SR-2 and these Halo figures that came in the Legendary crate last month.

To celebrate the upcoming launch of Gears 4, I’ll be using these two very cool shot glasses that I wish I had in college:

To add to my list of things I wish I had in college, you can most definitely add this Dead Rising swiss army knife:

The last couple of items in this month’s crate are perfect for any collectors out there. First, we have a Dark Souls single issue comic book.

Next, we have a coin pin straight from Battleground!

While thesurvivor2299 website was a hoax (but a darn good one, we have to admit), the most recent spate of Fallout 4 rumors seem to be real. Documents leaked to Jason Schreier at Kotaku.com show that Fallout 4 is in development at Bethesda, and it looks to be set in Boston.

Shreier was able to confirm the documents—which are from the casting call for a project with the code name Institute—as being the real deal. There were rumors way back in 2012 that Bethesda devs have also been looking around MIT—coincidence? We think not!

While none of the details in the leaked documents can necessarily be trusted (game developers aren’t above handing out completely misleading scripts in order to protect their secrets), they are interesting nonetheless. Here’s a few that caught our eye:

1. The player starts by waking up in a cryogenic chamber.

2. There is a radio DJ named Travis Miles.

3. And an engineer named Sturges who is described as a cross between Buddy Holly and Vin Diesel (what?)

4. The Institute is MIT in the post-nuclear apocalypse world

So, while there’s still a whole lot of if, thens, what-ifs and maybes, this is still more solid information then we’ve had before!

Bethesda remains mum on all of this, but hopefully we can expect an announcement soon-ish. Certainly by GDC or E3? Maybe? Pretty please, Bethesda?
