Why Can't I Launch My First Nuke in the I AM BECOME DEATH Quest?

-

I’m really struggling to launch my first nuke in the I AM BECOME DEATH quest. I’ve got two nuclear keycards in my inventory and I know the launch code, but the launch prep isn’t accepting them. I’ve followed all the steps so far, so I’m not sure what’s going wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

Don’t forget to verify that you have the correct code for the specific silo you’re using. There are three different codes for the three silos, so it’s easy to mix them up.

Make sure you check if the missile silo you’re trying to use is off cooldown! They all have a three-hour waiting period after someone launches, so if it’s been used recently, you won’t be able to launch from that one.

Yeah, and sometimes people just forget and try to launch from the same silo right after it just got used. Always check the cooldown first!

Have you completed the entire prep phase? You need to access the terminal above the keycard kiosk before trying to insert the card. If you skip that, it won’t work!

I see! I think I might have missed that part. I’ll check it out and see if that does the trick.
