Fallout 76 is still plagued by bugs. But sometimes that’s a blessing when it enables such creative base buildings as demonstrated by this player here.
What’s the deal with the glitch base? In Fallout 76, the player MrsP123 has come up with something very special. Thanks to a bizarre glitch, she was able to step through a wall behind the map in the north of the Whitespring station. This brought her into the substructure of the Fallout world where she had a brilliant idea: Why not build a base down there that is safe from enemies?
A little paradise beneath the map
Here’s what the underground base looks like: After MrsP123 reliably figured out how to glitch under the map (the trick is to place two platforms in such a way that they connect the overworld with the underworld), she got to work.
A small staircase leads back up to the overworld, but underground, on wooden planks, you can find things like a greenhouse, workshops, and even a cozy conservatory with a piano.
How dangerous is the underground? In her little “bunker,” MrsP123 is mostly safe. Only occasionally does a mole rat follow her through the glitch portal. Larger enemies probably can’t get in.
Every now and then, however, players accidentally find a way into the underground. If it’s a rogue player who means harm to MrsP123, the problem is quickly solved. The player lures him deeper into the bunker and simply edits the floorboard beneath his feet away. This causes the attacker to fall into the white void beneath the map and disappear.
This is the reason for the bunker: MrsP123 herself has died multiple times while building her little refuge. But even though the little bunker is dangerous, MrsP123 does not want to create a death trap, as has been done by a player with his labyrinth or a wicked genius with his funny catapult death trap.
Her little realm is mainly intended for sightseeing.
Fun fact: You can see the map above from underground. This is especially beautiful when nukes go off there. Therefore, MrsP123 wishes to detonate a small atomic bomb in Whitespring herself and watch the fireworks in safety from underground.
