Intercontinental ballistic missile

An intercontinental ballistic missile (often abbreviated ICBM) is a type of weapons system.

Fallout 3
In the Capital Wasteland, an ICBM launch terminal, launch codes, and facility can be found at Fort Constantine. The launch codes are for a Minuteman XI missile. The Delta IX rocket, while not originally designed and built as ICBMs, were converted to serve this purpose in 2034. One such example crashed just outside the Statesman Hotel in Washington, D.C. where it can still be found as of 2277.

In the Mothership Zeta add-on, an alien captive recorded log's subtitles state that the United States had 38 ICBMs on alert and ready to fire when instructed to do so by the White House.

Fallout: New Vegas


A remaining missile is located in the Ashton missile silo, that can be fired by the Courier to create the Courier's Mile. Nuclear warheads are also found throughout the Divide and can be detonated. The Courier can likewise choose to launch nuclear missiles at the New California Republic on the Long 15, at the Legion at Dry Wells, or both during the quest the Apocalypse.
