I love the theory that vault tech did it. Also the fact you don't see the bombs exploding in air, but always from the ground implies that they were remotely detonated

[@damonedrington3453]

Based on how far away the explosion is, you wouldn’t see a missile, and that’s how probably all or at least most nukes are used in the fallout universe

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

Even though the Vault Tec one is the dumbest one possible. The company that made money by selling seats in Vaults and contracts with the US Government willingly chose to end the world and thus kill its ability to make money? And yeah, you wouldn't have seen a plane drop the bomb. The plane would've been a speck in the sky at 42,000 feet. As for a missile, by the time the Sole Survivor would've been able to see anything, it would've been a mere warhead falling from the sky with no smoke trail or anything to indicate its location.

[@11OnEye11]

@@randomlyentertaining8287it’s actually the opposite of what you claim. Vault Tec makes their sales by selling vault positions yes, but the U.S and China were working on a peace agreement, which would have put Vault Tec out of buisness because the end of the world would no longer be a fear. Vault Tec had to make sure the peace agreements didn’t workout because their enitre company relies on “selling the end of the world.” Despite this fact, I don’t believe Vault Tec launched the first bomb, I believe they planned on it but for a later date. In the Fallout show they make it clear that Vault Tec planned to launch the first bomb, but they don’t actually confirm it, they only confirm that they planned on it

I feel that Vault TEC planning to launch the nukes is misleading (at least in the show) from Ghoul Cowboy's backstory and spionage, it comes clear that if Vault TEC had succeded, he wouldn't have panicked so much in the beginning, he shouldn't have been separated from his family. Therefore, given how his wife also changed her goals, it's clear that Vault TEC failed.

It malfunctioned because of glitches and errors and launched a nuclear bomb at china, wich reacted with bombs of their own.

Maybe US government has install a tons of brains used on Robobrain as processing and storage hardware but they are glitched and give false alerts.

15:00 ish? Regarding Vaulttech theory. Late to the party but remember that the Vaults were meant as experiments. The experiments CANNOT be carried out unless the people enter the vaults. It is possible that the intent was to launch one nuke to scare people into the faults. Presumably that nuke detonates near Vault 14, since that vault requires the area to be irradiated. But Vault 0 wasn't ready yet, indicating they didn't intend that command and control vault to be sealed. The plan then would be 1) launch single nuke 2) scare people into vaults 3) seal vaults 4) conduct experiments on inhabitants using 5) govt and media contacts to cover up this fact and claim vaults cannot be unsealed now (many can't). We know that the government was complicit in the experiments planned for the vaults, since the Enclave knows what they are. But with tensions too high, the counter-nukes were launched, and they did as best they could.

[@AugustoXRock]

If you look at the Mutually Assured Destruction theory, it explains that a scenario in which nuclear destruction is halted only because it is a lose-lose scenario for both combating forces. According to the theory, all bets are off if one side would destabilize the situation by the presence of missile defense or by, get this: *by the construction of shelters in a massive scale*. This would make the US less fearful of a so called "second-strike" by China, which is basically retaliation when the attacker fires their nuclear arsenal. Knowing that China had very capable infiltration operatives, and judging by how ridiculously the vaults were marketed to the public, China would easily catch win of this and potentially fire their weapons. But the more likely scenario is that China would build their own vaults to get the situation squared-out, just like the USSR and the US did in the cold war to even out the odds of MAD destabilizing, I can even back this up because since the reality of vaults popping up in the US wouldn't take long to leak to China, they waited several years to take action. So my guess is that that US, knowing they would survive a second-strike from China, launched their missiles to end the war for good and play the long game for the remaining resources of the world. With the enemy dead, there's no rush, right? That would not weight in for the Vault Tec theory, I would just assume that the US government would take advantage of the vaults to end the war. What do you guys think?

[@ChrisZukowski88]

@@AugustoXRock I think it was def. china but not because of that theory rather because their backs were against the wall. They might've had the "if we don't have fuel, nobody else does" mentality. the U.S. already had superiority over the rest of world so no reason to launch the nukes unless they're trying to do population control on their own people but that's a little silly.

​ Krzysztof Zukowski What makes you think their backs were against the wall? I don't think the decision would boil down to such a level with that mentality.

3:39 I feel like there's a story behind why Log 673 is missing, maybe the Log had important information mentioned in it, which is why someone took it from the Terminal.

[@SadMark]

I think it was Vault Tech _Why else would they be so prepared?_

[@JSmith-sy7km]

If you examine the Bomb in Megaton from Fallout 3, there is clearly a Vault-Tec logo on the side of the undetonated bomb.

[@SadMark]

(J. Smith) Exactly! I think Vault Tech did it to follow through with their sick, twisted experiments on people without getting into trouble or before they were suspected of it by civilians. I think Vault Tech dropped bombs in America AND in China to upset both countries so people would hide in their vaults for their experiments. They were prepared.. hurrying to get people to purchase places in their vaults and rushing their classes/teaching (as we saw in Fallout 76), pushing it into *3 MONTHS* of training, and they had communication methods prepared and rules/regulations/time stamps set up.

[@fristnamelastname5549]

Maybe....vault-Tech could have made bombs of the U.S., but Chineses syps could have stolen them, of there own uses?

[@Laws2]

They got an early warning, like the army. That’s why the guy at fallout 4 was urgent

[@gmodguy1479]

Ausra 18 it’s kind of odd how the ‘vault tec rep’ was saying so much about “total atomic Annihilation” and 4 minutes later, the state gets nuked....????

[@christianweibrecht6555]

Unreal Environments - Speed Level Design I think the franchise's message is that who shot first is irrelevant as both powers had reached thier breaking point

[@1Flyingfist]

Unreal Environments - Speed Level Design I was always under the impression that a company like Vault tec set off some nukes, in order to trigger a war. Haven't watched the video, I've been playing 6 hrs straight. I swear Fallout 4 can bend spacetime 😂🙈

[@EkkieEkk]

Unreal Environments - Speed Level Design that's cause it doesn't matter to the themes of fallout and having an answer actively ruins a lot about the fallout universe.

Caio Reckziegel, You do know that the ICBMs used are significantly smaller than that of nukes dropped during WWII.

[@senkajo9152]

Newbs of the Internet, ICBM stand for Inter Continental Ballistic Missile, these missile can carry different elements, some are outfitted with nukes while some i think are just giant ass metal rods ( this just a guess, i could be wrong so if i am, correct me )

[@senkajo9152]

Mr.Skeltal Giant ass metal rods can do alot of damage, if you drop one from space your practically dropping a non nuclear bomb on someone because of all the Kinetic Energy slamming into the ground

[@ddougyfr3sh]

You cannot forget what the salesman says when he is leaving right after you reserve your spot in the vault. Something along the lines of “Not a moment too soon”. For me that is the most damning piece of evidence against vault tec

[@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong]

They wouldn't tell some lowly salesman when it would happen though.

[@vitorSossai]

Just salesman tactics. All he cares for is that pack os steak knifes he was gonna get as bonus from vault tec.

[@Qeqoification]

Idk, when you go see him he says it again "I AM Vault-tec" I feel like he wasnt just a lowly salesman, but still a disposable asset. Also FO3, that nuke had Vault-Tec logo on it. Also the company was backed by the government, which means Enclave. Im like 90% it was just greed that ended the world.

[@ToxicFaithPHD]

One of the old fallout games said it was actually vault tec shenanigans that triggered the war. Tensions where already high and vault tec seemed to think nuclear war was good for them being a vault company and all.

Imagine the terror um finding than the Enemy( China, Rússia pra other country) actualy win the war and create some sort of quarantine in USA but no one there knows about this...yet.
