Nuke Fissure Site Prime to start Scorched Earth and fight the Scorchbeast Queen.
The best Fallout 76 nuke target depends on what you want from the launch. Most players nuke for public boss events, stable flux materials, or high-value farming zones.
Before choosing a target, make sure you have the current Alpha, Bravo, or Charlie code for the silo you are launching from.
Nuke Monongah Mine when you want to trigger A Colossal Problem.
Target dense plant areas when your goal is raw flux and stabilizing materials.
BEST NUKE TARGETS FOR BOSS EVENTS
Boss-event nukes are usually the safest public-server choice because other players understand the target and can join quickly.
- Fissure Site Prime: Starts Scorched Earth and the Scorchbeast Queen fight.
- Monongah Mine: Starts A Colossal Problem and the Wendigo Colossus fight.
- Abandoned Mine Shaft 2: Starts Seismic Activity when the event conditions are available.
If you want help from the server, aim in a way that clearly triggers the event and leaves
useful fast-travel spots outside the blast zone.
BEST NUKE TARGETS FOR FLUX FARMING
Flux farming works best when the blast zone covers dense flora and enough enemies to collect stabilizing materials. The best target can change based on which flux color you need.
Useful when you want event access and strong farming routes in the same region.
Pick areas with the plants you need, then sweep the blast zone before leaving.
Leave time to collect hardened mass, glowing mass, and high-radiation fluids.
BEST TARGETS FOR PUBLIC SERVER RUNS
On public servers, predictable targets are usually better than clever targets. Players are more likely to join if they immediately understand what event or farm you are creating.
- Use Fissure Site Prime when you want the highest chance of public event participation.
- Use Monongah Mine when your group is ready for A Colossal Problem.
- Use Abandoned Mine Shaft 2 when your group is planning for Seismic Activity.
- Avoid covering common fast-travel points if you want players to arrive quickly.
NUKE TARGETING TIPS
- Check your launch code before final authorization.
- Zoom and place the blast circle carefully before confirming the launch.
- Keep useful fast-travel points near the edge or outside the blast zone when possible.
- Tell your team the target before launch so they can prepare builds and supplies.
- Bring rad protection if you plan to farm inside the blast zone after launch.
- Do not launch at random camps unless your goal is to make enemies.
