10 Genius Video Game Easter Eggs You Need To See For Yourself

9. Gang Of Old Ladies - Fallout: New Vegas

When players enter the hazardous, irradiated Nevada desert with the “Wild Wasteland” perk under their belt, odd things will occur.

This perk treats the player with some dopey encounters, some of which are merely pop culture references, while others are just there to throw them off with something quirky and strange.

Rumours persist about a gang of grannies roaming around the poverty-ridden streets of Freeside, mugging its unsuspecting inhabitants. It might sound like a silly story, but it's far from fictional.

After you’re done exploring the abandoned robot factory looking for a robot to be turned into a prostitute (don’t ask), Maud's Muggers, a crack-team of wrinkly warriors, will attack you with knives and rolling pins.

Since they decide to wear dresses rather than armour, they’re not much of a threat, no matter what the rumours around town had you believe.

This encounter is one of the many Monty Python references in the series. Those who watched “And Now For Something Completely Different” might remember the sketch with the gang of mischievous elderly women.

Now you know why you should always respect your elders, lest you should end up decorating some old bat's living room with your severed head.
