However, the effect was later reworked into its Fallout 76 version, removing the laughter and applying it to the new lunchbox mechanic. Other developers were somewhat creeped out by the comic violence and the kid laughter. The effect replaced the blood and gore from killing enemies with confetti, and even included a voice-over of his son laughing, that replaced the gib sound effect. Teare wanted to make a blood-free version of the game for his young children, so that they could see what their father had been working on. The effect was first created for Fallout 4 during an internal game jam. The confetti mess effect for lunchboxes was created by Mark Teare.

Each received buff has an individual timer (with the one that has the most time remaining being shown to you under effects) and being affected by another lunchbox resets the duration of one of them if you're already affected by four. The 'Very Well Rested' bonus can stack up to four times at any given time, increasing the overall bonus of the individual effect, up to a maximum +100% XP bonus. When used, lunchboxes provide a 'Very Well Rested' bonus, a +25% XP bonus, along with a random "party favor" social effect in a small radius, with effects lasting for 60 minutes and 15 seconds.
