Fallout 4 Fat Man and Mini Nuke Location Guide

The Fat Man should be an important part of any wanderer’s arsenal while venturing out into the wasteland. The Mini Nuke-launcher is a powerful weapon that can quickly turn a battle in your favour.

Mini nuke’s might seem like a rare commodity out in the wasteland but there are many places you can pick up some ammo for your Fat Man.

TIP: When confronted by a Super Mutant Suicider (those are the crazy mutants running towards you with an activated red glowing mini nuke in their right arm), aim for their head, torso and left arm. If you can put them down before they get close enough to detonate their nuke, they’ll drop their ammo, allowing you to pick up the sweet, sweet Mini Nuke for your own use.

Fat Man & Mini Nuke Ammo Locations

The below map shows the location of both/either of the Fat Man and Mini Nuke. In most cases, you can find both in the same location. Please refer to the reference number below the map for more specific location details.

NOTE: Some locations require you to have either started or completed a certain question. 1.20 at the The Castle, for example, requires you to have accessed the Castle’s armory via a quest before you can gain access to the room holding the Fat Man. You may also need Hacker and Lockpick skills above your current skill level.
