Fallout 76 Nuke Codes this week, including launch site locations

If there’s one thing that every Fallout game has taught us, it’s that humans never learn their lesson. As if Earth needed to endure any more nuclear explosions, Fallout 76 allows players to launch nukes of their own and even encourages them to do so. While obtaining pre-war nuclear launch codes was a privilege only a few in the world had, the post-apocalyptic wasteland hands out codes as if they were phone numbers. If you're looking to leave a radioactive scar upon Earth yourself, you're gonna need to know what Nuke Codes are currently active. Currently active Fallout 76 Nuke Codes (May 20 - May 27): Alpha: 443 08 932 Bravo: 318 14 079 Charlie: 573 67 175 Nuke Codes reset every Sunday at 5pm PT / 8pm ET / Monday 12AM UTC: What are Nukes Codes used for in Fallout 76?

When the codes reset every Sunday night, any codes held within player inventories will be deleted.
