Where Did Fallout 3's Bombs Actually Hit?

In Fallout 3, bombs don’t just explode where you drop them, they can hit places far away, like a super jump in a playground.

Imagine you're playing with a ball that bounces really high. When you throw it on the ground, it doesn't just roll around, it can bounce up and land somewhere unexpected. That’s kind of what happens with bombs in Fallout 3. When you drop one on the ground, it explodes where it lands, but then it sends out a big shockwave that travels like sound through the air.

Think of the shockwave as a really loud yell from the bomb. That yell can knock over other things, even other bombs! So if you drop one near another, both explode at once, making a bigger boom.

Sometimes, those big booms can hit buildings or cars, like when a wave knocks down blocks in a toy city. You might not have seen the bomb, but it still hits you because of that powerful shockwave.

So even if a bomb lands far away from you, it can still hurt you, just like a loud yell from across the playground can startle you! In Fallout 3, bombs don’t just explode where you drop them, they can hit places far away, like a super jump in a playground.
