I’m farming Fluorescent Flux for my Kinetic Servos, and since Whitespring Ranch is loaded with Rhododendrons, it’s a prime spot to nuke for materials. But I feel a bit conflicted about nuking the area—does the community consider nuking Whitespring impolite, especially since some lower-level players’ camps might get hit? I’d love to hear thoughts on whether nuking there is accepted or frowned upon, and any tips on handling it politely if at all.

If you’re worried about being polite to new or low-level players, it’s good to remember that the game gives plenty of warning and you can safely fast travel into the mall or refuge inside during the blast. Plus, most players who camp at Whitespring expect to be nuked eventually. As an alternative, you could nuke other spots like the Abandoned Mineshaft 2 or Nuka-World On Tour which also yield good flux materials and might be gentler on player camps.
Honestly, nuking Whitespring is pretty much a throwback tradition! Back when there weren’t human vendors or camps everywhere, Whitespring was THE spot to send nukes for a flux rush and some chaotic fun. It’s not considered rude now either—if anything, it’s legacy at this point. Plus, everyone gets a warning before the blast, so folks usually can move their camps or log out. It’s all part of the flow of the game.
For a low-level player, being caught in a nuke blast can be rough, but the game’s mechanics help a lot. Wearing a hazmat suit or Chinese stealth armor helps with radiation protection, and ghouls are naturally immune. Plus, the enemies in the blast zone drop tons of stabilizing materials you need for flux. So nuking Whitespring not only helps you farm flux but also makes for exciting gameplay moments. Just suiting up or moving to shelter when the siren sounds is the best bet.
It’s really your nuke, so place it where you need it! Sure, some players might get annoyed, but that’s an expected risk when you build or camp in spots like Whitespring. People even say it adds to the fun and chaos. And honestly, most camps can be repaired easily after a nuke. Just enjoy the chaos and reap those flux rewards.
No way it’s rude! Nuking Whitespring usually triggers a mad dash for materials like Fluorescent Flux, stabilized flux, and other goodies around the golf course. Everyone gets the 3-minute warning to clear out. If others have camps there, they can just deactivate and reactivate somewhere safe before the nuke lands. It makes for exciting gameplay, honestly. Just make sure to check if there are many camps around and switch servers if you want to avoid conflicts.
Thanks, I didn’t know you could fast travel safely inside the mall and refuge. That definitely eases my concern about low-level players getting stuck.
