bostonallen7051: Idk what to think cause fallout 2 had logs saying it was china then the show came out and said it was vault tec( which i think they changed because having a tv show where china causes the end of the world just might make them a little mad)
RadoslavBadura: in fallout 3 you can see a nuclear undetonated bomb that has the vault tec logo on it
ryantay9642: Original creators said it was China. Idc what Bethesda says.
TemptationsofaRaggedAngel: I think outright answering this question is probably a bad idea for Fallout. The show proves that Vault Tech had the capability and intent of dropping the bombs but it doesn’t prove that they started the war
cal5365: absolute dogshit retcon from the awful TV show about who dropped the bombs
skywarzer: They both did it
JuggernogYT: It is inherently less interesting to have a definite answer.
Spectresilencer: I think they made nukes but waited till china dropped nukes then also dropped some to make sure humanity didnt live.
hendrixtyner: I always thought the first impacts were caused by china (seeing how you find the submarine in boston, all be it still stocked) then you had vaulttech annihilate shady sands with one of their own nukes. Given how a majority of the vaults were unfinished/understaffed, it’s possible they were going to eventually but just got beaten to the punch.
TheCapitalWasteland: I feel like before vault-tec could start it China immediately went first
princesspupcake1269: I do remember that the Megaton Crater bomb had a pretty distinct Vault Tec logo on it.
milomorgan2107: I dont know if they directly pushed the button, but i do think they pulled strings and manipulated world events to make it happen.
liluziflop966: Right now all we know is that vault tec wanted to start the war, not that they did. Who knows what they will decide to reveal next season
lorddeathofmurdermountain76: Vault-tec: We are going to nuke the world.
Enclave and CCP: Nuh uh we are going to nuke it first.
luanne5886: Hmm... A company that makes boatloads by nuclear war,starting a nuclear war.Who knew?hmph
spacecorpse3212: i wouldn't put it past vault tech to do that
ace5065: i don't think we should get a definite answer to this
JuanLopez-kk9wi: I personally think Bethesda will make anything happen in order to make there mess of a lore make sense.
mysteryman7333: In fnv there is a bomb who is at wault tech
kalvinmanheimer: Skynet did it
net343: Bombs had vault tec logos, so at least they sold nukes to china
pangobonk35: It doesn't make sense though, who would use the data? Everyone would be dead
