Thecodes change each week, with a particular code pertaining to specific nuclear launch site. There are three across the map: Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. Once you have the right code and have secured the launch site, you are primed to unleash nuclear destruction on any players they want.

Finding the Nuclear Launch Sites
Now, to launch a nuke, you have to find the corresponding launch site to the code that you have. There arethree locationsthat you can find, all of which are in theSavage Dividearea of the map that runs vertically along the map, from north to south:
Alpha Site can be found just north of the National Isolated Radio Array.
Bravo Site can be found southwest of the Palace of the Winding Path, east of the Pioneer Scout Lookout.
Charlie Site can be found southwest of Mountainside Bed & Breakfast.
Each site will have its own batch of robotic guards that you will have to take out to gain access to the Launch Console. It plays out much in the same way as the workshop-claiming missions you may find around the game. There are going to bea lot of robotsto fight through, so it’s recommended to wait to tackle a silo untilyou’re at least level 40. The enemy difficulty around the map will scale to your level, but it’s important to wait until this level as then you should have agood amount of Perk Cardsand weapons to be able to survive the onslaught. Just be sure to keep plenty of Stimpacks and other aids in your supply, and it’s even better tocome in with a Power Suitand a fully-charged fusion core.

Nuclear Codes for This Week
You could go through the process of figuring out the complete codes that the Keycards give you, however, that can be an incredibly time-consuming process. You will have to use the terminal at the Enclave bunker to find the locations of specific Scorched and Feral Ghoul Officers, who are carrying the rest of the eight code sequence. Then, once you have those in-hand, you have to bring them to the Enclave bunker again to decode the right sequence of numbers using the clues written on the walls. And even then, if you make a mistake and enter the wrong code, it will wipe the card completely and you will have to start over.
In order to help get rid of that mundane task and avoid that last-second restart, you can seewhat the codes arefor the weekright here:
