Fat Man (Fallout 76)

The Fat Man is a heavy weapon in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
The Fat Man is a portable heavy weapon that launches mini nukes at distant targets in an arching trajectory.

If the Fat Man has the MIRV launcher mod, the Fat Man needs to be aimed such that the trajectory of the mini nuke reaches apogee above the target, as opposed to aiming such that the mini nuke hits the target or adjacent ground. When a MIRV mini nuke reaches apogee, it stops and splits into four projectiles. These projectiles fall straight down, detonating if they do not hit anything after falling 100 feet or 30 meters.

Variants

 * Daisycutter - A quest reward for completing An Organic Solution.
 * The Guarantee - A unique Fat Man given as a Survival mode reward from April 16-22, 2019.

Locations

 * West Tek research center, inside the FEV vats.
 * On top of a monorail pylon near Garrahan Mining Headquarters. Climb the Monorail Staircase east of the Garrahan building, jump atop the station itself and run along the top of the monorail until you arrive at the fourth pylon.

Behind the scenes
"Fat Man" was the codename for the plutonium atomic bomb that was detonated over Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945. With the exception of the tail fins, the mini nuke has a similar look to Fat Man.
