Fallout 76: 10 New Gameplay Details You Need To Know

2. Fighting Over Nukes (And Launching Them)

One of the most interesting tidbits revealed in Bethesda's blowout was that you'll be teaming up with other players not only to bring peace and harmony to the wasteland, but also to bomb the holy hell out of it. Storming nuclear bunkers to get the codes for missiles, you're going to have the option to hit certain communities on the map with them, including those inhabited by other players.

Theoretically, then, the safe haven you've spent hours building and defending could be wiped out in an instant, as you essentially live out the Megaton bombing from Fallout 3, but from the receiving end.

There'll no doubt be a way around this, as after all Todd Howard did state that you wouldn't lose too much progress from PVP, probably meaning you won't be totally able to scrub players off the map entirely.
