If you play Fallout 76, then you may have been surprised on January 1st to see that the game’s nuke silos were inaccessible. Following the game’s weekly reset, the silos are usually open again, but this time, players found a countdown timer of 9,999 hours. Even worse is that the Scorched enemies that provide the nuke codes weren’t spawning either.
That’s only part of the myriad of issues that players experienced. Fortunately, there won’t be much downtime for those seeking to nuke areas and fight off powerful enemies for Legendary loot. Bethesda recently brought the game offline to issue a hotfix that would fix the issue with nuke silos.
As of a few hours ago, maintenance has been completed, and the game is available to play again. Bethesda hasn’t outlined what caused the issue in the first place- however, it did recently reveal some of its plans for the new year include new Vaults opening, player vending, a new PvP mode, and a large update that will fix a number of pending issues.
We're planning to bring #Fallout76 offline at 2:30 p.m. EST today for a hotfix to correct the issue with the nuke silos. During this time Fallout 76 will be unavailable. Thank you for your patience.
