Someone nuked Phil Spencer’s camp in Fallout 76. Was it because of the recent Microsoft controversies and their disastrous marketing campaign for Hellblade 2? Guess we’ll never now.
Sharing on Reddit, a user posted this screenshot:
What happens when your base gets nuked in Fallout 76?
According to a user on Reddit, nuking destroys your camp. But “if you have enough materials, you can repair it with a few clicks. Also spawns high level enemies with good loot for a little bit of time.” So, can anyone destroy your camp in the game? User u/Tenalp wrote this:
“It’s not that easy. The only way to destroy a camp (without glitches) is to do a dungeon and launch a nuke. And when you do that, it gives a server-wide notice and then a countdown, giving you ample time to either move your camp, swap to a different camp, or simply hop servers. Additionally, once you reach a certain point, you likely have the materials to repair the whole camp (outside of potentially crops), which can be done in a single action from your indestructible CAMP device. But realistically, the average player won’t experience this unless they place their camp in one of like 4 or 5 very specific locations that get nuked to either spawn a boss, or farm enemies and materials.
Also, 76 is exclusively online. You can play on a private (but still online) world, but it requires shelling out for a paid subscription.
Edit: To further clarify, your camp only exists when you are online, and only for the server you are online on. It’s not like Rust or something where you put in a lot of time and energy and then get punished for having things like a job or family with everything you own being burned to the ground while you’re gone.”
We’re trying to cover the Microsoft fiasco by following it closely. We’ll update when we have more to report on.
