A group of players fired three atomic bombs in Fallout 76. The outcome was unexpected for the fans.
What happened? A few players from Fallout 76 gathered around YouTuber Nickaroo93 to start a unique project. They dropped three atomic bombs on a single spot.
This resulted in three atomic mushrooms and three contaminated zones appearing in a short amount of time. However, it seems that was too much for the server: it crashed.

This was the plan: If an atomic bomb is dropped on a “tear” in Fallout 76, the area temporarily becomes a raid for the entire server. A level 95 elite Scorchbeast queen appears, which can be fought by all players.
Nickaroo93 had already shown this in one of his previous videos. The players then wondered what would happen if three bombs fell simultaneously: Would there be a queen three times as strong?
They cracked the codes for the atomic bombs using a tool. However, they didn’t get any answers. Instead, the players created a cinematic work out of it.
Are the bombs really to blame? Whether the server crashed because the atomic bombs were dropped is not substantiated. The crash merely occurred at the same time.
Crashes are still relatively frequent in Fallout 76, although the patch from November 19 might fix that. However, the fact that a crash coincides with the launching of three atomic bombs does not seem like a coincidence.
What do you think? Is this an obvious error by Bethesda, or is it simply not intended to drop three atomic bombs on one spot? Leave us a comment and chat with other fans in our Fallout group. More information and news about Fallout 76 can be found on Facebook.
