How do I launch a nuke at the monongah mine?

[Darksider]

I already crafted a nuke just don't know where to use it

[BizarreMan]

You don’t craft a mininuke to lob it at the mine. You have to run one of the nuke missile silos and launch the missile at the mine.

is the silo located on the map somewhere?

there are 3 of them just need the key card
the codes are online last a week
alpha beta and charlie have differ codes and there is a cd to launch one from the same silo
edit need to be a general rank for the enclave

you have to join the Enclave and finiish their storyline to get access to the nucler Silos.

It is confusing because this missions starts when you arrive at the location: a Cave at "abondened Wastedump", far east.
There you have to get into the Bunker of Sentor Sam Blackwell etc.

Many other YouTube video how to's, just picked this one but YouTube 76 is a goldmine for help where a written guide may be confusing watching an actual playthrough can really bring it all together.

Mate, you post a link to a 44minutes video that doesn't even explain how to get access to the Silos??
1st: this is not helpful.
2nd: youtubers milking so much time out of a topic that could be explained in 5 minutes should be prevented at any cost and not promoted in a forum :(

Okay.

1) You must have completed the Enclave quest line.
2) You must have a nuclear key card. (you get it from shooting down a cargobot)
3) You must have the launch codes. You can go through all the work of decoding them, or you can just get it online.
4) Find one of the three silos and fight your way through to the control room.
5) Prepare the nuke for launch.
6) Launch on the mine.

Also, when at the point where you have to go to a silo, you get a marker pointing you to a portable toilet with a button in it. That does nothing, so you have to find the silo entrance, which the marker /doesn't/ point you to (and which isn't particularly close to the toilet either).
Figuring that part out actually took the longest for me when I recently launched my first nuke. None of the videos I'd watched mentioned it.
(Well, the silo itself took a good while too, even if I skipped the reactor room, but I kept getting lost, especially when I died once during the defend stage and spawned back at the entrance, so I had to make my way back through the whole bunker).

You can also just wait for some other player to nuke the mine and you can enter during the event that happens after and get the updates you need for that quest.

Thats how I completed it. Much easier.

Mate, I said " I just picked this one", meaning it may not be what he wants and is why I also added " YouTube 76 is a goldmine".

Point being, go to YouTube for information as its easier to see a video to understand.

What a load of B/S, don't come that rubbish. Wrong person.
What you can write as a book length explanation a short video can be much better at explaining especially for non English speaking.

If you have explored the map a lot, you should have found the silos beforehand. But ya, it takes you to the secret exit if you haven’t yet.

Another piece of advice, in the maintenance room where you repair the broken cores is a door with a terminal that is only accessible from the maintenance room side. It opens a shortcut so if you die, you can cut out the reactor room and server room.

nope,
your post is BS: I've skipped through the video you've linked to and it was a waste of time,

There is huge difference how youtubers make their videos and while mentioning Angry Turtle: his clips are well sructured and explained and not aimed to gain as much Screen time as possible.

Stop wasting other people's time.

From my experience; Buy the Missile Silo Holo tape and when you play it, it will tell you how much time before each silo can launch again. Whitespring Bunker, when you can get in there, you can go to one of the computers and send out a vertibot to shoot down and where to find the guy with the code but those guys are everywhere. You have to pick up the code piece from the dead guy to stop the beeping. The Holo tape might not be there if someone else bought it recently in the armor vendor. Make sure you have multiple 1 lb? cards on you in case you have to re-insert a wrong code. You will have to defeat multiple robots at the same time and each time you run a silo it will be a different experience. There is an exercise room full of lead and all crafting benches, but no Stash box. You can however, send out scrap kits, and also fast travel out to attend another event and then go back in and continue and i suggest you drop all junk before going back. The targeting computer will give you a view of the red zone and then you confirm so move it over the mine.

Luckily I was wearing power armor at the time due to the radiation levels outside the mine. So my fall was clumsy, but non fatal.

I waited a long time to clear this quest though. The idea of nuking an entire region just to recover an item from someone's dead father on a minor seeming sidequest bothered me on many levels. Felt like entirely too much overkill to move a few rocks. It would have blocked the mines more rather than clear them.

So I took advantage when i saw it opened to clear the quest. In my headcannon my character just used the power armor to make an opening.
