The universe of Fallout is centered around a nuclear holocaust that happened hundreds of years ago, one that absolutely levelled the entirety of America and created new species of creatures through radiation and years of evolution.
It’s often stated that quite a lot of bombs hit the setting ofFallout 3,Washington DC, but one fan has investigated this claim and came to a very different conclusion.

It’s heavily implied inFallout 3that Washington DC was essentially carpet-bombed due to its status at the capital of the United States.
YouTuber AnyAustin, who has previously released videos that work out extremely niche details of popular games, such as the unemployment rate ofPokémon’s Saffron City, recently released a video working out exactly how many different bombs hit the capital of the United States. In order to do this, he first looked for obvious telltale signs that a nuclear blast had happened in the vicinity, using various pieces of environmental storytelling to mark these. After factoring in the two bomb sites that are shown in the story, Any Austin found that it seemed twelve different nuclear weapons had been fired at Washington DC and had detonated (this means that the undetonated bomb at the bottom of Megaton isn’t counted in that tally).
