Can you shoot down nuclear projectiles mid-flight in Fallout 4?
Posted On: May 17, 2023

I saw the above short video clip which depicts a player getting very disappointed at the sight of a nuke flying towards them, while scoped in a sniper rifle. The video is supposed to show how there is nothing you can do to avoid getting destroyed, but I've found contradicting comments on the internet that say you totally can shoot down the nuke using VATS. Can't check this myself yet.


So can you shoot down nuclear projectiles in real time, with VATS, or is it impossible?


Question from user user1306322 at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

Yes, you can shoot projectiles and grenades using V.A.T.S..


You can even shoot the mini nuke carried by suicidal Super Mutants as they're running towards you as an easier method of killing them, but as it's probably better to kill them without detonating the mini nuke so you can loot it!.
