The latest in Fallout 76's series of educational cartoons is here, and this time, the focus is on nuclear weapons. It's a typically comical little trailer, but it also highlights an interesting aspect of Bethesda's first online multiplayer title.
You'll be able to find parts of a launch code while roaming the sprawling map, and it seems like you'll need to team up with other players to piece together compatible codes. When you do, you'll be able to launch a nuclear missile seemingly wherever you like -- on an enemy encampment, for example. When you do, you'll be able to find rare resources at the newly irradiated zone, but it will also come with risks in the form of mutated monsters.
Quite what will stop players from dropping bombs on each other constantly is unknown, but if players really do have to work together to do so, instances of WMDs falling out of the sky may be relatively rare. What do you think of this new Fallout 76 video? Are you excited to blow your enemies away with nuclear missiles? Don't forget your hazmat suit in the comments below.

If a team is required, you know you'll get groups dedicated to nuking as much as possible. I can't believe they thought letting you build stuff, and then letting other players destroy it was a good idea, especially with a nuke.
I would love to see a full on mini series of Vault-Tec Boy, they are great and for some reason reminds me of the Itchy and Scratchy Show from The Simpsons.

by making an online only fallout game with nukes and basebuilding.
so much for their most respected dev status...
What could possibly go wrong with this scenario? I’ll keep grinding through 4, thank you very much...although Spidey is about to dominate my gaming time.
@MaccaMUFC Wouldn't mind that either.
Fallout is meant to be played on a single player campaign, NOT online! I can already imagine all the trolling people are gonna get on it already. Ah well, back to new Vegas and 3 to wrap up the plat for them.

I’m looking forward to this. People like to moan about the online only aspect but I can guarantee it will sell like hot cakes.
I will never play this game
I like Fallout - although FO4 was disappointing as it devolved the type of missions and interactions from what was offered in variety in FO3 and NV... but I still liked it.
This though.. I'm disappointed as the environments and timeline sounds interesting - but with no single player campaign without someone griefing you to get their nuts off - I'm not interested at all. Maybe when it's $20 and Bethesda has modified the game to be a lot better, I'll try it.
But for now... meh. I never thought I would pass on a Fallout game, but then along came this.
Oh well..
It certainly will be interesting to see how this experiment called Fallout 76 plays out. I love the past 3 Fallout games, have purchased all dlc, and have hundreds of hours of play.
Fallout 76? Well.... Maybe because of Gta online, but i see this nuke strike thing as a griefer's paradise. I emerge from the vault and then Ka Boom! Just like when i destroyed Megaton from afar from Tenpenny's Tower. However this time it is me that is vaporized.
Will a camped sniper shoot me as soon as i emerge from the vault? Will i have my caps, weapons, and clothing claimed as loot like in other Fallout games? Will i then respawn only to be shot again? Will the sniper be a squeaky voiced 9 yearold?
@NoCode23 @Party_Cannon @legalstep @LittleOtik @lacerz @jdv95 @beemo I'll keep watching the cartoon videos and ignore the game itself.
Wake me up in 76 months when they release the next single player Fallout game.

Am I the only one annoyed with the fact that they've made nukes playthings? I know Bethesda has always played very, very loose with the lore but taking nuclear weapons, which have always been a symbol of the culmination of man's violent nature to contrast against your own exploits in the game, and making them a game mechanic really doesn't sit right with me. I wish they left the Fallout name out of the game and made their own franchise because they're destroying everything that made Fallout unique. Every major release just brings us further away from the nuclear glow...
