Fat Man

The Fat Man is a tactical nuclear catapult weapon which appears in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Fat Man


The Fat Man is an effective mortar/artillery weapon, allowing a person to bombard a large area with good precision and deadly force. It uses a mini nuke for ammunition which when fired, results in a small nuclear blast.

Experimental MIRV


Although highly similar to the Fat Man, the experimental MIRV fires 8 mini nukes at once instead of 1, making it more powerful and with a bigger blast radius, at the cost of losing 8 mini nukes at once.

Esther


Esther is a unique Fat Man with a different rear mechanism, a blast shield, a light-blue body, and a thick glass or plastic bed holding the mini nukes. It weighs 10 pounds more than a standard Fat Man, but does not jam, and is more powerful.

Fat Man (GRA)
The only distinction between this and the base game Fat Man is that this model can fire both base game mini nukes and GRA mini nukes.

Only available with the Gun Runners' Arsenal add-on.
