#SUPLEXNATION

Fallout has a weapon called the Fat Man, which is a portable nuke catapult that launches Mini Nukes, small nuclear projectiles. Mini Nukes are exceedingly hard to find, so each shot is as precious as it is devastating.

Fallout 3 had the MIRV Launcher, which was a unique prototype version of the Fat Man that launched like seven mini nukes all at once. It was brutally awesome, but the game only had like one or maybe two feasible situations where such firepower was actually necessary.

Now, Fallout 4 also has the MIRV, but this time as a craftable mod that spreads the Mini Nuke into about six other projectiles, each just as strong as a regular Mini Nuke. Which would already be enough to turn anything in the game’s world into cosmic dust well on its way to Saturn. 

But some men want more. Some men want to see the world burn. Some men go to see Arturo, the shopkeeper at the Diamond City Market weapon shop, who for the measly sum of like 14K caps (the game’s currency) will give you the Big Boy, a unique Fat Man that launches an extra projectile with every pull of the trigger.

So with a MIRV Big Boy, you’re getting about 12 Mini Nukes every time you fire, all for the cost of a single regular Mini Nuke.

“Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me alone.”
