If you’ve played Fallout 76, you’ll know that nukes are a central part of the game’s operating system. They can trigger some massive events, make up a core part of the story, and offer an entertaining side grind. But to launch a nuke in Fallout 76, you’ll need nuke codes, and you might not know how to get them.
In this guide, I’ll explain what the Fallout 76 nuke codes are right now, how you can farm your own codes, and how to launch a nuke. This is everything you need to know about nukes in Fallout 76.
What Are The Fallout 76 Nuke Codes Right Now?
This week’s Fallout 76 nuke codes are as follows:
- Alpha Silo: 24635428

In case you’re not aware, there are three sites you can launch a nuke from in Fallout 76, and they’re listed above: Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. Each site has a different code, so be sure to identify which silo you’re going into before you try to enter your code.
When Do Nuke Codes Reset in Fallout 76?
Nuke codes will change once every seven days in Fallout 76. For instance, if the new codes landed on May 21, they’ll refresh on May 28.
How to Launch a Nuke in Fallout 76
Fallout would be nothing without nuclear missiles. It wouldn’t even exist! Therefore, it comes as no surprise to learn that launching nukes is intrinsically linked to the Fallout 76 campaign.
To launch your first nuke in Fallout 76, you’ll need to first progress through the main story and complete the I am Become Death quest. This is a nod to Oppenheimer and his infamous utterance when he witnessed his nuclear bomb detonating in 1945.
This quest will teach you exactly how to launch a nuke, and once you’ve completed it, you’ll be free to launch as many nuclear missiles as you want.
How to Find Nuclear Keycards in Fallout 76
You must find nuclear keycards in Fallout 76 if you want to launch nukes. These are single-use miscellaneous items that you will use to trigger a nuke at the end of a silo run, removing it from your inventory once you’ve entered the nuke code.
The only guaranteed way to farm nuclear keycards is to take down SAC cargobots, which you’ll find floating around as part of the Hide and Seek and Destroy quest, triggered at The Whitespring Bunker. You can do this quest as many times as you want.
Otherwise, you have a chance to get nuclear keycards in the scoreboard rotation, which refreshes with each new in-game season. As you work your way through the scoreboard, you might have nuclear keycards occupying a reward slot, so keep your eyes open.
