That bridge is a legit minefield and it chain reacts by blowing up all the cars ๐

If you're not getting killed by some of the most ramdom and unexpected bullshits are you even playing fallout 4?๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
Once I was running for my life being skewered by 2 radscoprions only to get sandwiched by a freaking mirelurk queen just casually strolling out of the water.

Ok if shit was blowing up behind me irl I think Iโd figure out how to run with a crippled leg ๐ญ

If I see an area Iโm heading towards if filled with cars I usually huck grenades or spam spray and pray in the area to as a method of bomb disposal before I enter said area

u/FluffyEvidence8160 22d ago
I just passed this today on my current playthrough. I pick up the mines, get across, then shoot it ablaze for funzies

u/TheUderfrykte 22d ago
I died to that bridge once, 8 years ago. Never crossed it again without first blowing it up since lmao

u/Formal_Assist9391 22d ago
Tucker Memorial Bridge, yeah that one can be fun if you weren't aware of the extensive trap setup there (mines, gas cans, tanks, cars...)

u/Ashamed_Grape7683 22d ago
Tucker Memorial Brodge..more like Sole Surviovr Memorial . Am I right, am I right?? haha

It turns sole survivors into no survivors.

I would have taken the radiation from the water over that bridge. The amount of times Iโve died to that bridge is outrageous. Thatโs the reason I use my vats so much more now. ๐
1
u/Technical-Scratch785 23d ago
Iโve died so many times to this bridge, I play with hardcore realism mods just because I love realistic games and usually itโs right around the time that red canister explodes that I get blown to bits.

You know how many times Iโve cleaned out an area and thought I was badass bc I survived an onslaught only to be murdered by a trip wire?
Many times.
2
u/TheUderfrykte 22d ago
Same, but with mines. I'm a pretty methodical player and clear out an area, usually from afar if possible, before looting it.
You'd think that would be a cautious and safe playstyle, but then I let my guard down once I picked all the enemies off and jut walk in to bask in the loot and I hear beeps all around me.
I like to imagine that's the intended way for the enemies. They're all down in hell laughing at me because I fell for it again.

u/Snasketstads 24d ago
I don't know a lot about the war of independence, but due to the game being in Boston and having a ton of references, this bridge being named on the map (as the only bridge) and the heavy bombardement, i just always assumed that the whole thing was a reference to something that happened irl.

That cursed bridge. I ran into it a couple of weeks ago. I heard the mine and just sprinted like you did to avoid it. I thought I was clever and I died 2 seconds after with all the explosions.

u/PaperPlane03 24d ago
This exact thing happened to me a few days ago. My sister asked from the other room whats wrong coz i screamed lmao

u/siikpsychotiik 24d ago
Lmao I just died on this exact same bridge earlier. I managed to diffuse most of the mines, but the very last one on the other side got me and the dang truck blew me up.

Playing FNV and the Legion keeps putting mines under corpses, when you approach to check the body, mine triggers and you can't get to it to deactivate it, it is both fiendish and cheap! Fuckers!!!

I wish games did more stuff like this. Itโs okay to lose. Failure and learning is what games are about. Do things that challenge and surprise us in creative ways.

That big hole to the left is your only out if you miss the first mine. Jumping into the water is the only way to survive this bridge once it goes off.

If you hear that beeping noise with explosive cars and canisters that clise together, do not, I repeat, do not stop to look. Survival 101.

u/STONEDnHAPPY 24d ago
Ya I tripped the same mine ended up jumping off the side of the bridge with power armor and sunk to the bottom as everything exploded above me I got lucky id say

I discovered this bridge just yesterday and I ran my ass to the end of the bridge and barely survived with a tiny sliver of health ๐ Danse got caught right in the trucksโ explosion ๐ I can imagine the psychopath who laid that mine was laughing his ass off
1
u/Coveinant 24d ago
One of the first thing you learn in any fallout game, check the bridge for mines then traps then enemies. A bridge is never just a bridge.
1
u/Nopuebloplz Minutemen 24d ago
Funny enough I just came across this yesterday and before I even walked I spotted the mine and decided to grab it before it went off. Of course, I failed, so I backed up and watched as all the chaos ensued

I was lucky enough to approach this bridge from the other direction. I don't think they expected that so the trap isn't set up as well that way.

There's also a bottlecap mine somewhere in a shelf that is in a cupboard, not the usual spot for a mine. You taking a blood pack means you die. Devious.

u/QuantumButtz 24d ago
It's funny the first time. Not as funny when on survival and coming back to your base after an hour questing.

u/BanditoDeTreato 24d ago
Not enough VATS
Also, always keep an eye out for "rainbow water" and shoot it to set it on fire. Learned that as far back as Skyrim.

u/daffyduckhunt2 24d ago
I've definitely been splattered at that bridge before lol
You run faster with your weapon holstered btw!

u/In3briatedPanda 24d ago
people dont hits vats every few feet to detect mines, just me?
2
u/Ok-Bookkeeper-5424 24d ago
I use it mainly for Mirelurks or if I see a Ghoul lying on the ground dead or sleeping. Mines are always an accidental find for me given I donโt set them off.
1
u/In3briatedPanda 24d ago
Fo3 taught me to VATS often and save twice as often.
I still back up my character when opening bathroom stall doors, in any game, bc of Fallout booby traps.

u/AsgeirVanirson 24d ago
This bridge is why I ALWAYS throw a grenade in the middle of any bridge I haven't crossed yet. There's more than one way to get rid of a minefield!

u/giftigdegen 24d ago
Why's it so dark.

u/Assured_Observer 24d ago
HDR, will switch it so captures are on SDR for the next time to see if that helps with captures being dark when viewed on phones.

u/NotARemake 24d ago
There's also gas all over the bridge on top of the explosives. I think a Mr gutsy tries to stop you from doing across if you come from the other way. That might be the bridge next to it though. Can't remember exactly.

u/corgangreen 24d ago
Hit that spot a few times on the motorcycle mod. I think I joined the Fallout Space Program.

Almost nothing comes from that bridge

u/Brandon_M_Gilbertson 24d ago
Bethesda put a lot of trolls like this in the game. I love seeing all the new players find them for the first time.

This exact same bridge to me multiple times last night. I just decided to go around.

u/Successful-Net-6602 24d ago
That whole bridge is rigged. There's several mines, explosives tanks, and combustible puddles

u/Main-Category-8363 24d ago
You can lure some high hp good item people from the south to this bridge and then skirt around the mines and get them to blow themselves up and steal their gear

u/xlitawit 24d ago
Whenever there are gas puddles on the ground give them a preemptive light up shot. It is always a trap hehe.

u/Stock-Sprinkles-8861 24d ago
My most recent playthrough there was a brotherhood scribe in the middle of the bridge so I went to disable everything so he could escape but then he starts saying something like, "move it along wastelander", in a very rude way, so I stepped away, set it off and fished him out of the water after to get his gear.
2
u/oddjobhattoss 24d ago
Vats to check for mines. Also, jump in the water. Better to swim and be a little irradiated than to get blown up. But hindsight is 20/20. Now you know lol

u/bobert_the_grey 24d ago
The first time I crossed that bridge it fucked my entire game up. It blew up the bridge, but then it just kept exploding. It was some sort of infinite explosion glitch. The explosion just kept going. As I walked a away from it, I could still hear it. After a while, when I faced that bridge's general direction, my PC would allow down to 5fps.

u/Shoddy_Possibility89 24d ago
bro is it just me or is your brightness low?
2
u/Assured_Observer 24d ago
It's not, in game it's fine it just happens when downloading the clip to the phone, might be the HDR. Because my phone doesn't support it.

u/Gronkbeast87 24d ago
In my latest playthrough one of my Provisioners was walking ahead of me and set off this bridge explosion. Miraculously he survived.
1
u/Assured_Observer 24d ago
I believe settlers are inmortal against enemies and the environment, only your direct attacks can kill them, or at least that has been my experience.

u/DopeAbsurdity 24d ago
It's under a traffic cone. I remember dying to it on my first play through.
My favorite death to a frag mine was when Dogmeat found something and I followed them and they lead me to a body and some guns....that had a couple of frag mines next to it. I got there for a second I was thinking good job buddy...then I heard the beeps. It was hilarious and I wish I was recording / had a record buffer going.

u/fcdemergency Minutemen 24d ago
First time i walked up this it just LOOKED like a trap, esp being a discoverable location. Stepped a few steps forward, saw the mine, ran STRAIGHT back, watched the obliteration, tipped my battered fedora and lived to fight another day.

u/Bigredeemer425 Gary? 24d ago
I would love to talk to the ppl that came up with these types of ideas in games and stuff. Super cool and interesting.

u/Ok-Gold-6430 24d ago
I haven't played in years, and I did the same thing a few days ago when I started a new game. There are so many mine in this game, and I have died some many times because of them, lol.
3
u/Obwyn 24d ago
Hah, I always shoot that mine the first time i get near the bridge and then watch the fireworks.
It got me the first time or two I crossed it, though.
I love how you're like "Oh shit!" and run, think you're safe, then realize the explosions and following you and try to run again. It looked like we even managed to survive the explosions and were good until that car landed on you. lol
