Ordinance is the correct spelling.
It is the correct spelling of a different word. The word he meant to use is "ordnance": grammarist.com/usage/ordinance-ordnance/
Ordinance is the correct spelling for the word meaning 'authoritative command or order' and Ordnance is the correct spelling for the word meaning 'military material, such as weapons, ammunition, combat vehicles, and equipment' so in this video Ox is correct in pointing out the error in this context ;)
I’ve always thought english is such a strange language. Knight and Night. Die and dye. Isn’t it strange? There are so many words that are spelt differently but pronounced the same.
Perfect spot for a grammar den.
Oxhorn Do you think the next Fallout will take place in Mississippi,Missouri? Or New Orleans? That would fascinating with the South theme there and the mutant bugs tbey could habe and a revised version of the gatorclaws and other mutant nasty stuff to fight. Mardi Gras themed stuff would neat to explore and maybe see a tad more of what it was like in October,23,2077 before the bombs fell. Maybe see more of the history of the fatman or even better a return of the Enclave remnants hiding in a islotate cave or abandoned building or Vault? There were what? 122 Vaults made so wby not have some new vault to explore or something?
That is just of few ideas Bethesda could do with Fallout5.
*correction:I made a mistake about Madi Gras,its in the Spring & the bombs fell in 10/23/2077 before Halloween. So,oops.
Anyways,enjoyed the video and the work you do.
"They didn't want us to get access to the Fatman early on in the game."
*Gives us power armor and a minigun in the first 10 minutes.*
@@Cblitz089 thier is one in the federal ration stockpile I got it at level 2
their
There’s a mininuke and fat man launcher at the robotics disposal grounds, just north of sanctuary. But guess what, there’s no hostile there _at all._
I had 2 fatmen at level 7 one I got from the robotics disposal ground and the second one I got from a raider with power armor
Also to even get to that quest you need to clear fort haven which has a fat man in it
Bethesda doesn’t want us getting the Fat Man too early yet, there is a free one at the robotics disposal sight very close to the vault.
Imperial Sludge I built on
That is true near the sentry bot a bro......What how did the Fat man get thier it's a car crushing site.
There's another Fat Man lay on top of a car at Boston Airport on the edge of the runway
That one only has a single nuke and they are hard to find and or expensive. Also think it's there due to the sentry bot glitching and going road raid even without the terminal.
And a sick ass paint job magazine if its the location im thinking about
About the water in the toilet, I think a soldier as a prank wrote “purified water” so someone would drink it but a super mutant saw it and thought that’s where you insert it so it put the purified water there and thought to put dirty water in the other.
Possible, if the Mutants could read
@@mjsugod1385 the mutants write in game notes. You can find them at certain Mutant locations. They can read and write. How you never noticed this is beyond me. I think I found a note about super mutants wanting to trade with another super mutant camp like my first week of playing this game in 2015. You can use the notes to find other super mutant encampments that mention trading with them. This is also the basis for the super mutants in FO4 being more akin to the mutants from Mariposa instead of the ones from DC. Also the Super Mutants in the Mojave Wasteland could read and write as well. Tabitha would give notes to Raul the ghoul telling him to fix certain things. Also Virgil a massive part of the main quest draws freaking diagrams and blueprints for you to build the signal Interceptor. I mean bro what part of reading and writing can you not comprehend from all that? There is even a mutant that will trade goods with you so he understands the value of trade goods and currency. The Institute strain of FEV does not have the same retardation effect as the FEV in DC. If the host has any amount of corrupted DNA from radiation they will lose intelligence. A pure strain lead to a Prime Super mutant who was just as intelligent as a normal human if not more. The Institute FEV tried to replicate this effect on mutated DNA. They faired better when it came to intelligence but the amount of irradiated DNA determines the effect on intelligence. Regardless even the dumbest mutant in the commonwealth has more intelligence than the DC mutants. These studies are what lead the Institute down a different path when it came to Synth creation. Instead of utilizing the FEV to create a pure strain of DNA they used the Soul Survivors son. No different than the Master's mutants looking for Vault dwellers to dip because that was the only source of pure DNA.
@@justinfrazier9555 you didn't have to go all out, one example was enough, super mutants can read and write.
@@justinfrazier9555 jeez man a whole essay over that shit

I honestly wish you could combine the Experimental MIRV and the Nuka-Nuke modifications and put them onto the Big Boy you buy from Arturo
Ladies and gents, I give you the Nuka-MIRV Big Boy
The ultimate mini nuke launcher
There is a blacksmith mod that allows you to do just that including switch some legendary effects around.
On the Bethesda mod page there's is a mod for that
I believe that's exactly how the game started and how the glowing sea was made
Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve finally done it.
*We finally found out what caused the fallout nuclear apocalypse.*
I have hundreds of hours in Fallout games and I've fired maybe ... like 4 nukes?
I've fired thosands because I play with mods
I've never launched a single one in any of the Fallout games. Checked my current playthrough, and I have 327 mini-nukes Hmmm probably time to try them out.
I have a minigun that fires mini nukes, so I've shot quite a few.
Charsept me too I have like 760 hours of play time and I've fired 5 mini nukes at most
I have shot 14 mini nukes
When I first discovered fort strong, I thought that that was where I was gonna encounter Strong the super mutant.
Me too
OOF
I see why you think that
same
I thought Strong was with Virgil
you see so many skeletons from pre war and so muchd death in fallout, but for some reason, those 2 guys who died testing a mini nuke and had sand shipped back as their ashes are one of the few that really get me. same with the fact that in the repconn headquarters, when you walk up a set of stairs, you trample this skeleton with some womans work clothes rags on it without a second thought, only to discover that specific skeletons name was jenny millet, and you now have to rpetend to be her to survive in the building, having just literally walked on her grave.
because all the death happened instantly, literally everyone was dead so there was no one to ship back the remains. There was still a country when the sand was shipped out.

"They didn't want us to have a fatman this early in the game"
There's one not even a 30 seccond walk from vault 111
Edit: so it would seem there's quite a few people who don't know what location I'm talking about so I'll give you a brief description.
From Vault 111 if you head directly East you'll come across a location called "robotics disposal ground" you'll see a deactivated sentry bot next to a steamer trunk if you go around the scrap car to the North West side of the steamer trunk there will be a fatman sitting there with 1 ammunition.
in fallout 3 there's a Fat man with 8 mini nukes on a dead Brotherhood of steel soldier in front of GNR
*he isn't lying*
Yea, plus in good neighbor (which you find early/mid game) you can just steal the fat man the assault tron has
yeah and you don't even need to fight anything.
You must be using mods
"The only weapon that engulfs your enemies in an entire mushroom cloud of nuclear fire"? Laughs in nuka grenade
I knew about the Davy Crockett from MGS3. As I started playing Fallout 4 back then I thought, that the Fatman was inspired also by this weapon. It's really exciting to have this confirmed.
"Remember the alamo"
I changed its noise to phill swift saying “that’s a lot of damage”
Groot 561 Amazing.
You didn’t change it you just got a mod made by someone else
Pancakes? Pancakes. I have that mod too! Me:shoots a short shotgun of doom *another mod* THAAATS AA LOOOTTT OFF DAMMMAGGE!!! *goes blind for **1:00** minutes* yea this gun is annoying itself and now it’s worse great welp time for definition of death and baby launcher...
Use that mod with a MIRV. Dear god...
Trailblazer heh have you even seen a pipe rifle with a mirv? Yeah I turned off that mode I didn’t know it was a auto pipe rifle it killed everything but what I was aiming at even myself
Love to put my secret nuclear test site on an island less than a mile from a major city
Did you know that the first nuclear reactor was built under the University of Chicago's football field and stadium (basically in the center of Chicago). The reactor only had protection of the emitted radiation (graphite shielding) with no protection against a meltdown.
Jesus it’s like the word “Safe” didn’t exists back then.
SneakyFish less than a 1/6 of a mile lol
@@LOUDcarBOMB Yeah, but nuclear physics was still somewhat new at the time. In the late 2070's? They should have known better.
@@ImpetuouslyInsane this is society that runs on nuclear power in common households at this point, so I assume they would have developed many measures to protect the population if a leak were to happen
In real life, the Fat Man and Little Boy were so named because they were made from different designs and thats what the silhouettes looked like.
They were also nicknamed after the two leading figures of the Mannhatan project being General Leslie Groves and J Robert Oppenheimer

I love how in the commercial Timmy runs off screen triggering a explosion sampling that:
1: HE LAUNCHED THAT SUCKER STRAIGHT AT THE BULLIES ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATING THEM
2: he was so excited that he ran straight into the wall arming it then fired it at the bullies but the explosion of the propulsion detonated the mininuke killing him and possibly the bullies
Either way good job kid
Kamikaze lmao
I love fallout 4
Good ol’ Bethesda
Just like Piper did the ONE time I gave her a Fatman. Laughed my ass off but ripped it away from her after respawning
0:49 every male felt that one I bet
I did
Ouch. Worst way to go.
No one would feel it. It takes less time to explode after impact then pain to process.
@@gage2189 it’s the principle that counts.
OOOO NO NO no NOOOOO!

@@chriskopp1361 They could, but as far as I saw in the Battle for Anchorage, Alaska DLC, they didn't
@@chriskopp1361 considering that power armor has shock absorption and probably a gyroscope they could drop from a good height without flailing in the air

7:34 i think the story was that some kid wanted to give hope to the teddy bear to survive.
0:45 Now THATS a lot of damage.

All men sweat at this sight of this happening
I feel ya.
It mutated
Right in the crotch.
Ave Maria~~
It was less than a tenth of a second between it making contact, triggering the explosives, and the raider's genitals being incinerated in the explosion.
There is this great mod called The Power of Atom. It dramatically increases the power, size, range, and effects of Mini Nukes.
No longer can you fire the thing 20ft away and remain fine.
You gotta fire this thing a good 50ft or more away from your target otherwise the blast radius could kill you.
There is a added "Heat Wave" to the weapon so if even the initial blast doesnt hit, the heat wave from the bomb will get them.
Radiation is dramatically increased and lingers for much longer.
And any enemy killed will disintegrate 100% of the time.
The best part of this mod is that all these effects apply to Mutant suiciders and anyone with a Fatman too, making them even more terrifying.
This mod makes the Fatman more true to it's real world counterpart. It's even on PS4 too.
that's actually good but i don't think it's really balanced since you need only 1 mini nuke to kill an entire squad of enemies in an open field.
Is it on Xbox? I need this mod, to me, mini nukes are underwhelming
Not sure, I'm a ps4 user but I would imagine it's on there too.
It's a great mod, just for the love of god. DO NOT USE THE MIRV variant.
You WILL die.
Besides the regular mini nuke is more than enough with this mod.
True.
But, this mod will make you FUCKING TERRIFIED of suiciders AND any Raiders and Gunners with Fatmen..
In the base game if you had a decent suit of power armor you could survive a mininuke. With this mod, unless you have a fully upgraded suit of t-60 or x-01 YOU WILL DIE. And without PA... it's game over.
You know that raider withe the fatman and PA near the Super Duper Mart? If he sees you it's game over. Same with the Gunner atop Gunner Plaza.
So it's balanced in that you're enemies will also have these as well.
Yeah, about 2-3 times bigger.
You help make the world a better place. You help envelop everyone in this amazing lore, and you only make it better
"How was this monstrosity of American ingenuity created"
Well you see, we're Americans, we figure out how to make everything deadlier and more mobile
We actually had mini nukes they were called Davy Crocketts. The blast radius was just to wide for a viable infantry launched weapon.
Hey don’t forget that, in the Japanese of Fallout 4, the “Fatman” is instead called the “Nuka Launcher” due to the name, reminding people of the Fat Man being dropped on Nagasaki.
EDIT: I know this makes people dislike, but thanks for 650 likes. (and for keeping the comment section active)
Common practtice in the entertaiment industry,
Also dont forget that Japanese gamers were pissed off about that change, citing it as unnecessary censorship of art.
@mike Haley The Wolfenstein games are heavily censored in Germany changing all swastika flags and calling the Reich "The Organization" or something similar, can't remember Hitler is called Heiler and he's called the Chancellor not the Führer, and yes he's missing the mustache. The reason for that are that in german child-protection law (which needs to be reformed to match the 21st century) video games are considered toys or childrens media. In Arts such as films or books and pictures theres no such censorship.
@@beggar6042
Also, Germany has always tried to have keep the past behind them, and that is a part of history that they want to keep WAY behind them.
@@MeepChangeling No wonder. before they could censor without anyone noticing but nowdays people will know right away if something is censored thanks to internet, and no one like censoring just because someone is triggered.

The idea of the Davy Crockett was to play into the 'tactical nuke' role that was popular during the Cold War era; the intent was to fire the thing at an approaching enemy force too big or well armed for conventional armies to handle, without having to deal with the limitations of aircraft-dropped nukes (the USSR almost always outpaced the US in terms of manpower during the Cold War, so this was a serious problem).
Ironically, the reason it never bore fruit (besides the obvious suppression of battlefield nuclear weapons) was the same reason you found the MIRV-Fatman to be impractical; its range was so short, and its explosive yield so high that the crew firing the thing were at risk of getting killed by the blast whenever they fired it.
I always thought that was either a bug, or the devs boo-booed and added an inoperable door to access that section of the building. I def feel that area was meant to be explored.
0:46
R.I.P. balls
This is what happens during a Ball shot in a children movie
To counter argue your point about Bethesda not wanting you to not get a fat man early: Robotics disposal site right by game starting area. It has a fat man with mininuke right there. Its not a leveled thing. Its great to get early on and blow the deathclaw up from a distance/the roof at the beginning
There's also one by the airport somewhere in one of the planes if I remember correctly.
Just remember, any crazy weapon in video games just cannot match up to the stuff that the real life US Military has tried.

I always loveed how you have lore friendly mods. It's always fun to have a mod that could possibly end up in the game at some point.
0:48 *CRITICAL HIT*
Cock explosion
Straight in the junk. Gotta hurt
NOOOOOOOO
Notification: Critical shot on Raider Waster's Crotch
I definitely don’t think Bethesda wanted to not let new players get a fat man easily. You can actually get a Fat Man as soon as you exit vault 11 by going to the Robotics Disposal Grounds, which is a very short way from the vault and doesn’t contain any major enemies other than a robot which doesn’t even attack you.
WashiestDrop198 the fat man looked differnt?!?!
Alpha25 yes!!
There's a fatman in Kellogg's base before you kill him and before the Brotherhood's blimp comes in.
You also don't need the jet pack to get the one in Fort Strong. You can jump up to the platform using the debris that's right in front of you when you enter the place. I did it last night.
Also you can just steal it from behind Kleo lol
Oxhorn... YOU are the one that got me into Fallout and now I’m an expert at everything except lore and that’s why I watch you (I also love ur vids)
You know your rich when you can use 1 mini nuke for EACH enemy

probably didn't even feel it.

He took a nuke straight to the dick.
His doom.
I hope he didn't want to have kids
0:49 Good luck trying to reproduce now.
Love how he picked up the bucket in the kitchen, fool, you use it to clip through the roof of the kitchen to the far man, then use the enamel bucket in the jangles stall to get out
An idea as to how fatmans and the nukes got disseminated across the nation so quickly is that after they cracked the launcher problem and successfully ran trials the project was green lit for mass production immediately.
My father (who's almost '90) remembers such bs stuff being done all the time when he was serving in the U.S.C.G. way back. New stuff was constantly being pushed out and rushed into service with little testing or practicality in most cases. It wouldn't surprise me considering how desperate and slap-dash the U.S. in the Fallout-verse is that the moment it got cleared they had it's production contracted out to multiple manufactures.
I think of all the theories this makes the most sense
That's the most Fallout thing I've ever heard
also would make sense that the version Team Alpha got out was the one that didn’t run the risk of killing the operator. The rest of them are the dangerous version where you take yourself with the commies
Good example is those shark repellent safety things. One ship goes down and a good chunk of her men taken out by sharks and poof those things were everywhere. They've been disproved and removed since, but the fact that they were deployed in abundance when the testing showed only tentative results... I don't think the placebo affect works on white tips.

When I'm having a bad day Oxhorn, you're videos make it all better. Thanks for the hard work!!
Always loved the Easter eggs with the taddybears one in the subway on the crapper with cigar in mouth n newspaper in hands
Let me just say I love that you make your audio the perfect volume 😂 There are a ton of TH-camrs who fuck up their audio but yours is 11/10
I think the solution of why that room is blocked off and has loot In it is because multiple devs works on that building. The first dev might of put the loot there and the second dev not paying attention blocked it off. IT happens in development where 1 dev will do something but not tell another dev.
Considering he's with his Institute character, it's just as likely he's not coming here with the quest and thus parts of the encounter are blocked off. Bethesda did a lot of this when it comes to certain quests, and it's actually kinda annoying if you plan on not doing those quests or exploring by yourself areas first because they won't be able to be marked as 'complete'. I know similar blockoffs happen when you go to the same dungeon Paladin Danse leads you to for the start of the BoS.
0:49 omg the Mini Nuke is heading in the Ball lol

May you do the history of power armor
I think someone like nth apple (God bless 😕) or Vinilyc Puma did a power armour lore video but certainly wouldn't say no to an oxhorn vid!
Yes plz ^^
Would be three days long
mlg vlogs and stuff so??
Ox did do a brief history of power armor in the 'X-01 pre-war or after war' video but i would love to hear the full history too as well as having a video of megaton, fallout 3 vaults, paradise falls, dunwich building and grey ditch.
Should be a mod where you can improve the Minutemen artillery by capturing this fort.
I believe that the fatman in the game was a version 1 where they used a catapult system like that of a ballista and the one that they were making in the labs was the version that was meant to be safer and shoot further. The reason we see the V1 in the game was from field testing and the military wanting to keep them around incase the US was invaded, at which point it wouldn't really matter if they couldn't go far enough for what they needed.
If you look at the animations of the firing and reloading you can see the launcher pushing the mini-nukes out and then be pushed back when reloading. I would think that the firing would be along the same lines as an aircraft carrier launching jets. The launchers look like they have gas canisters on it so either there is a battery helping with the reloading and is recharged by the launching some how or there is this aid system that helps chalking of the launcher like with a compound bow.
me: fat man is the strongest weapon. It could kill enemies instantly.

Also nothing beats threading the needle through a window and turning the raider occupants to nuclear soup
Maybe, on October 23rd, it being 20 years of fallout and all, Oxhorn could do "The general story of The Great War, what happened when the bombs dropped, and what instigated the bombs?"
Hey, the Great War will take place in 60 years on the 23rd...
Huh.
What would be more special is that this coming Oct. 23rd is exactly sixty years till 2077 in the fallout timeline, making a your idea nice Bobo, but add a chill to it, knowing we have only sixty years left till the great war. (on a side note, let's avoid the real world nuclear destruction talk, and all real world stuff for now, last thing we need is right now is debates, arguments, or worrying that we might possibly get nuked sooner than later.)
HOLY SHIT YOU CAN TELL THE FUTURE
The commercial isn't exactly a problem. When I was a kid in CA, my dad was on the test crew (computer stuff) for the B2. At the time the YF-22 and YF-23 were being developed and tested at the base to see which would become the new mainline fighter for the Air Force. We saw models, toys, even commercials advertising things with these experimental aircraft in them. It is not unusual for somewhat publicly known equipment and/or vehicles in testing to be used in commercial marketing, so why would it be unusual in the Fallout universe, in a world racked with war and desperate for recruitment, to use the same kind of tactic to entice kids to want to support and/or enlist into the military?
Matthew Bartlett I got lost at commmercial
Matthew Bartlett where you at Edwards too?
I was just about to comment the same thing, but was looking down to see if someone else did. It would be incredibly likely that they'd flash fancy things that don't technically "work" not only to increase their recruiting numbers but also to showcase the idea of them simply HAVING such a thing. The propaganda could simultaneously be used to recruit people who wanna touch the "new shiny stuff" while also giving the enemy an exaggerated perspective of their military power.
To be fair the YF 22/23 was widely publicized nationwide since the 80s. It still has never been used in a combat deployment. Similar with the MV-22. Took them decades to get it cleared for a full deployment. I got to be on the MV-22s very first combat deployment and that was kinda neat. They were in service long before that, but had never been in a full combat deployment.
I would say that the commercial is something standard in the Fallout universe (and that the Fatman commercial doesn't go far enough like showing the kid blow up his bully graphically, but it has a happy-go-lucky theme to it ironically). One of the best examples for commercials I think in the Fallout universe is in the intro to Fallout 1 that is playing on the TV with 2 power-armored soldiers and a (probably Canadian) POW.
The preceding screen is shown by Galaxy News Network and shows on text in a box in the next shot saying "Our dedicated boys keep the peace in newly annexed Canada". The POW is tied up, there are 2 soldiers there in T-51b power armor, and one of them is going to execute the unarmed POW (committing a war-crime). One them shoots the POW in the head, then the POW falls to the ground, and one of the POW's legs twitches from nerves reacting to him being executed. The soldier shoots him in the head thinking the POW is still alive (stupidly) which the POW is now not moving. The other soldier starts joyfully laughing at what's happening and the executioner looks at the camera waving like he's saying "Hi". The next clip is showing someone in T-51b armor standing proudly in front of a waving American flag in the background. I think it's trying to show of how nationalistically proud these people are of doing a war crime by showing off what and how they did it.
The only time I used the mirv big boy was to one shot the mire luck queen in the castle. Looked pretty epic and it must have left a pretty big impression on everyone but the raiders.
Why would you even dare become a raider when you know that the minutemen can one-shot mire lurk Queens?
Especially when you can craft MIRV Miniguns 😂!

and then he realized, the raider is screwed
Anyone at the receiving end would. Hitting the raider's genitals made no difference.
The blocked off stairway and upstairs rooms are technically a bug. The building was supposed to change states during the game, clearing sections of it at several stages in the same way as Cambridge Police Station. One state is during Show No Mercy when access to the elevator is cleared however the next state does not get set at the end of the quest, leaving sections of the building blocked off. The final cleared state is also unfinished, it was supposed to become occupied by Brotherhood soldiers in the same way as Cambridge Police Station (Maxson informs you of leaving a garrison there) but this was not completed. A 'fixed' version can be seen at th-cam.com/video/0J03zYFvU7Q/w-d-xo.html
DeeZire That... Sounds kind of awesome actually.
I never even used it, I was always worried about running out of ammo
I just got to fort strong and I’m like I hope oxhorn made a video about this and the fatman
23:01 I legit thought that was a real mini nuke before reading the sign.
28:57
No joke as soon as the word "bullies" was spoken pumped up kicks started playing on my playlist
U must be so fun at parties
Coincidence?

I don’t believe you.
@Candido Villanueva i mean, it did happen, but, you don't have to believe me lol
lmao
in the terminal it said they had already begun shipping out the mini nukes and fat man launchers. so logically a good load of them would have already arrived at Mississippi ready for distribution with more being constantly produced and those left at the fort could be one of many shipments.
There is also the possibility that they were shipping them via planes and the planes crashed when the bombs dropped. Since the planes were most likely headed not only to Mississippi but also out of Mississippi to other areas of the country, there may have been planes all over the country carrying the launchers and they all crashed when the bombs dropped. That could explain why they are all over the country. Mississippi was just the distribution center. Send them to Mississippi and Mississippi sends them out where needed.
When I found the chapel room with the collapsed floor I noticed the the bed right in the middle of the of it and laughed because I imagined a super mutant laying down on this bed made for a human and the floor collapsing under him.
Really like your videos! I know I am VERY late to this thread but I wanted to give my perspective. I do not think this presents a lore problem as manufacturing was already taking place in order to create mini nukes. As you can see, Fort Strong does not have the ability to manufacture anything. Just creating the mini nukes would require a massive compound. Taking that into account, the the Fat Man would be manufactured by a large company who already had the tooling ready to go. Remember that the military felt that the Fat Man was a ready design and it was the mini nukes which were getting the slight modification of a explosive charge to help launch it.
I thought you should know, at the beginning 2nd floor behind the meat bags, I climbed up there using parkour, during the no mercy mission
I never use power armor I just jumped up there too
That’s gotta hurt 0:48
for real we know he's not having baby's anytime soon
- PepsiManTheMan360 - he died not from the explosion but the nuke to the nuts
He isn’t going to nut anytime soon
love how the dead soldier blown to ash by a misfire could be prevented with pulling a string tied to the gun
Thanks Ox in my opinion the fallout 4 lore videos are way more interesting than finding holotapes and just hearing them and not understanding anything
6:48 It's Santiagos painting! (From vault 118)

That room is only blocked off when you aren’t doing the brotherhood of steel quest that had the behemoth. So if you side with the brotherhood that area of fort strong is accessible.
I think the Jangles Monkey was a reference to Murdoc from Gorillaz. MTV Cribs visited the Kong Studios 20 years ago and was following Murdoc who did the tour. One instance, he was doing a rather long monologue while peeing in the restroom. Thus, the overflowing toilet in that fort haha
I walked right up that ramp in the entrance lol. You don’t need a jet pack or clipping. Just jump over the blood bags and everything.
I know where the Davey Crockett was tested at. Its in the museum where I went to for AIT in the army. Thanks for the memories that you brought back for me in this video. Thank oxhorn
robert frantz thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service.
PT do you like likes?
Also, I don't need likes, but
Thanks, Robert, for your service.
0:45 That was an lucky shot indeed
RIP balls of an raider. 💀
game_dude47/D3rpyT3m a* now go help a settlement
Mixed up an and a twice
Haven’t watched the video yet but I remember seeing in the game a commercial for the fat man saying that it was a kids toy. And then I feel like I saw somewhere that it was adapted or bought by the military.
11:40 you can actually get that fatman if you try hard enough, basically if your lucky your companion will glitch into there and you can command them to grab it. I just did it with the synth dude and it works, but finicky but he managed to grab it. Going in 3rd person helps alot
Oxhorn! Why did you take that Teddy Bear's rum? He was all ready to go.
Cappy - Why is the rum alwaaaays gone?!
Cappy Yeah Ox! You evil evil man! And I thought the Institute was evil...
why the rum gone?
Wait i just realized... wasnt this his Institute character? Hence X6 being present lol. OX IS EVIL!!!
Mr. Minuteman
Nah
The Daniel Boone had a such a short range that the troops firing it could conceivably be inside the blast radius. Also it was phased out because someone thought it was a poor idea to give Infantryman access to atomic weapons.
Perhaps the commercial was a Boston local commercial advertising for the inital field testing described in the terminal?
Hit chance: 10%
Enemy: HA! YOUL NEVER HIT ME
me: *bold of you to assume I gotta hit*
me: is trying to sleep
Oxhorn: ah, the fatman.
0:48 hey man don’t nuke me their that is my no no square
I found one much earlier on by accident, I didn’t realize it was that powerful to block off the section with it
