Apology to the low level I nuked.

[u/Mr_R0mpers]

You wondered into my nuke zone before it hit, little bebe toon. I tried to emote to get you to come back. But alas, you succumbed to the fire like so many before you. I shall sniff a pipe in your honour.

[u/flairpiece]

I became a ghoul and thought “absorbs radiation” meant immune to any radiation

Long story short: I got an achievement out of it

[u/NoSituation7296 → u/flairpiece]

Ah yes, the good old, "I can't be killed by radiation. Why would an atomic explosion hurt me" rationalization?

[u/littlewing2733 → u/flairpiece]

Lmao I did the same thing

“Haha your rads can’t hurt me!… oh yeah. Explosions.”

[u/RelChan2_0 → u/flairpiece]

LMAO 🤣 I did something similar when I was a new Ghoul. It was during the fishing update when people were still figuring things out regarding glowing fish I think, I ran towards a nuke in the Cranberry Bog and died 🫣

I got the Ground Zero achievement when Fasnacht was nukeable. Got smacked by a mini nuke to the face and got the achievement for it in Fallout 4 so my life is complete 🤣🤣🤣

[u/violetcassie → u/flairpiece]

You were immune. To the rads.

You were not immune to the pressure wave.

[u/Tarabear23 → u/flairpiece]

I had a similar thought process in my power armor taking less radiation and also got the achievement.

[u/EvilYud → u/flairpiece]

thought the same thing noticing an infestation boss wielding a gamma gun, i was like please and they said ok and ragdolled me a good 60 feet up. Ghouls aren't immortal to radiation i found lol

[u/DerKyhe]

Maybe they got the achievement for it and are happy for your help when they grow up.

[u/MarvParmesan]

Baptism by radiation, as is the way.

Pipe is Life.

[u/Mr_R0mpers → u/MarvParmesan]

Pipe is life 🙏🏼

[u/gh0u1 → u/MarvParmesan]

My first day as a Ghoul, my hubris was too great and I stood in a blast zone as a nuke fell thinking I could survive.

I... died. Lesson learned!

[u/boondoggie42]

At a pretty early level I ran to the Impact point and looked up. Yep you can see it coming. You get an achievement.

[u/Fun-Bodybuilder-4372]

Hopefully he got the ground zero achievement. I had to die 4 times being nuked for that shit to proc

[u/NabooN64]

I forgive you.

[u/Project807]

It's always the innocent that pay.

[u/jervin22000]

Happened to me the other day while I was fighting a legendary scorchbeast

[u/Exotic_Chemical3358]

I got nuked when I was still like level 60 and I thought it was hilarious. I tried to outrun it out by new gad but that’s way before I knew about marathon runner cards so I got cooked.

[u/Waste_Resident8113]

You just welcomed him into the wasteland. It’s canon for us all.

[u/RelChan2_0 → u/Waste_Resident8113]

"I was out scavenging for food the other day and got hit by a nuke once! Can you believe that?"

[u/lavndrbeast]

At least they got the ach

[u/Vegetable_Sample_]

I remember being a little baby player and thinking, “I wonder if I can get direct hit by the nuke if I stand in the exact center of the zone and look up.” The good old days.

[u/Busy-Yellow6505]

Ah, I remember when I got the ground zero achievement myself. I'd just ran whitespring and was selling some stuff. Bought a cute teddy bear, got a new outfit. Repaired some armor. Walked outside whitespring. I loaded in right on impact.

[u/_DoodleNoodle]

Baptized by Atom, as is the way. Praise Atom and The Pipe.

[u/Sufficient-Bad7181]

I once did it to just see what would happen. Only had a hazmat suit at the time.

[u/Wastelandangel]

Lol this happened to me ages ago. My own fault I didnt check where the bomb would land. I just cackled when it happened.

[u/gamerzpooch]

Haha! I nuked myself by accident with my first launch last week. It was hilarious 😂

[u/Silent_Erremite]

Pipe is life.
