Plutonius is a nuclear warhead worshiped as a god by a cult of ghouls in Kansas City in 2197. It was produced by Manhattan Projects Inc.
Background[]
Before the Great War, Kansas City was a major nuclear launch site. After the city was hit by the bombs, the surviving silo staff were turned into ghouls, and formed a town called Gravestone in the ruins of the city. Only one nuclear bomb was left intact in the silos, and the ghouls took to worshiping it as a god, "Plutonius."
Plutonius was later taken by the Brotherhood of Steel, placed on nuke carrier, and used to crack open the entrance to Vault 0 in order to assault the Calculator.
Notes[]
- The warhead offers a countdown in English, Spanish, French, and southern drawl.[1]
- Worshippers of Plutonius acknowledge the existence of Atom.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
The bomb's name is derived from the radioactive element Plutonium, one of the three primary isotopes utilized in nuclear fission.

By purging our lands of the decadent, you will prove yourself worthy of taking the sacred mortal form, of our god "Plutonius", and deliver the flesh of my mighty Lord to your "Bunker of the Holy Brotherhood!"
This is how He decrees His Will be done!"
