Learn how to complete Chapter 26, 'Death From Above,' in Fallout 76. Discover how to survive a nuclear blast, enter the blast zone, and find rare loot.

Alright, so you've just wrapped up Chapter 25, and guess what? Chapter 26, 'Death From Above,' kicks off right away. This part of the main story in Fallout 76 is pretty straightforward, but it's all about surviving the big one – a nuclear blast!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Watch the nuclear blast: This is your cue. Just make sure you're not standing too close when it happens! If you somehow manage to nuke yourself, well, that's a quick way to end your adventure, so don't do that.
  2. 2
    Gear up and enter the blast zone: Once the dust settles (or rather, the radioactive fallout begins), it's time to suit up. Grab a Hazmat suit – you'll need it to survive the irradiated environment. Head into the blast zone; you'll find tougher enemies here, but also some really rare items and valuable resources that are worth the risk.
  3. 3
    Fortify your position (Optional): If you're feeling ambitious, you can actually set up your C.A.M.P. within the blast zone. Think of it as building your own little fortress. Adding some turrets can really help you fend off the super-powered monsters that roam the area. It makes gathering those rare resources a bit safer.
  4. 4
    Nuking again? It's possible: Remember, you can launch another nuke whenever you want, but it's not a simple task. You'll need to find another Nuclear Keycard, get your hands on active Nuclear Missile Launch Codes, and fight your way through a Missile Silo all over again. However, if you're up for the challenge, the rewards can be pretty sweet!
Tips
  • Loot everything you see along the way. This game doesn't have a super deep story, so exploring and grabbing goodies is half the fun.
  • The blast zone is dangerous, but the rare loot and resources are a huge incentive. Always be prepared with RadAway and Rad-X if you plan on spending extended time there.
  • Building a C.A.M.P. in the blast zone can be risky but offers strategic advantages for farming specific materials. Make sure your defenses are top-notch!
  • Launching another nuke is a significant undertaking, but it can open up new areas and challenges, often with better loot.

And that's it for Chapter 26! You've survived the blast and braved the irradiated zone. Get ready, because Chapter 27, 'Scorched Earth,' is just around the corner.
