Where else are people dropping nukes besides Morgantown?

I’ve seen some decent results around Wavy Willard’s and nearby spots, with a mix of flux and a few good spawn areas at the park, cabins, and shooting range. Curious what other nuke zones people like when they want something a little different.

If you want variety, the north and east edge of the map tends to be a decent bet. You can get a nice spread of plants and enemies without everything feeling too samey, and some places are better for quick farming than for long runs. Wavy Willard’s works because it gives you a few different pocket areas close together, so it doesn’t feel like a dead zone.

That matches my experience too. The spots that give you multiple little clusters are way better than the ones that are all one big empty blast zone.

I usually look for places that have a mix of open ground and buildings nearby. That seems to help with spawn quality, since you get enemies and resources in the same run instead of just one or the other. If the goal is flux variety, a location with different terrain types nearby usually feels more rewarding.

Morgantown gets mentioned a lot because it is reliable, but there are other areas that can be just as useful if you want a change of pace.

Drift Loom:

Yeah, the layout matters more than the name on the map. If the area has a few distinct zones inside the blast, it usually feels better than a huge flat circle.

Sable Kite:

I like that kind of setup too. It keeps the run from turning into the same loop every time.

For a more practical answer, I’d test spots that sit near multiple fast-travel friendly landmarks. That way even if one part of the blast is mediocre, you still have backup places to check without wasting the whole run. Wavy Willard’s, Harper’s Ferry, and similar areas can be good because they split the difference between spawn density and resource variety.

If you are just chasing efficient farming, try rotating between a few locations instead of locking into one “best” nuke spot. The game seems a lot more forgiving when you treat it like a route rather than a single target.

I’d say the best underrated nuke zones are the ones people don’t crowd into as much. Popular spots are popular for a reason, but the quieter places can still give solid loot and less competition. If you already got decent results at Wavy Willard’s, I’d keep experimenting around nearby locations and see which ones give the best mix of materials for your play style.

Fallow Drift:

That’s the real trick. A spot can be “good” even if it isn’t the famous answer everyone repeats.
