The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC

To start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4, you must first own the DLC either by purchasing it individually, as part of the season pass, or getting it as part of the version of the game you purchased. In addition, your character will also need to be level 30 before the quest leading you to Nuka-World will appear on your Pip-Boy.

Step 1: With the DLC installed, start up your game of Fallout 4.

Step 2: So long as you're level 30, open your Pip-Boy's Radio tab and find the "Nuka-Cola Family Radio" option and select it.

Step 3: This will lead you to the Nuka-World Transit Center, which is protected by some raiders and Commander Kaylor.

Step 4: Defeat Commander Kaylor and pick up the "Kaylor's Orders" document from their body.

Step 5: Go inside the building, speak to Harvey, and agree to help him in exchange for getting you to Nuka-World. There are multiple ways to complete this step, but all work.

Step 6: Once done, go to the train and you will be given the option to travel to Nuka-World.

How to unlock Duchess and Revenant classes in Elden Ring: Nightreign

As a multiplayer spinoff, Elden Ring: Nightreign changes up the formula from the original game in some major ways. Besides the shifting world and focus on playing with friends, the biggest change is that you no longer make your own unique character. Now, you will choose from a selection of classes to embody on any given run that each have their own skills, attributes, and starting gear. Six are available from the start, but the Duchess and Revenant are locked. These are two of the more unique options in Elden Ring: Nightreign and should be your priority to make sure you can have the best team composition. Here's how to unlock each class.

Elden Ring: Nightreign: how to play with friends
Fighting enemies in Elden Ring Nightreign.

The major factor that sets Elden Ring: Nightreign apart from the base game is that it is designed to be a co-op experience. Instead of a long, primarily solo RPG adventure, you and two companions will rush through Limveld slaying bosses, getting loot, and hopefully surviving all three nights. While you could try your luck matchmaking with random players, your best bet at success is to get a group of friends together. FromSoftware games have notoriously obtuse matchmaking systems, and sadly, Elden Ring: Nightreign isn't much better. Here's how to play with your friends.
