Hello guys! With all of this talk about Fallout 4 and the Nuclear Winter, I've decided to do a little digging myself and upon my research I discovered Tech Raptors full decoded page with updates frequently being posted and more.

I have also discovered 2 hidden websites which are counterparts to Nuclear Winter (or at least one of them is) You can find all the links and more below.

The Survivor 2299; Nuclear winter has come [UPDATED]

Nuclear winter is coming in
Ever since the website went live, Fallout fans worldwide have been sitting on the website for god knows how long translating morse code, reporting HTML tweaks, sifting through various behind the scenes changes, and of course mashing the living day lights out of their F5 keys.

Not only has the new website ruined some perfectly good keyboards, but it has also acted as a fine layer of plasma slime that has brought some key FO communities together. The Bethesda forums experienced a huge posting surge, the official Fallout subreddit has become a huge hub of information, even the more mainstream gaming communites are into it. Recently however, we hit an official milestone in the buzz surrounding the website.

On the 1st of December at 9:35pm (GMT), the thesurvivor2299.com miniature nuclear winter timer hit 0. After a brief server outage, the website flashed out the following: KVNGR REV ALPHA PPS VT PIZ UHMYLPVOQ CM XHWMZP. NBJB SPIF BYQS QT DY BYFGEOB FI VQDYL MAQ. -NGQHT 5120- Nuclear winter has come. (See update below!)

A new morse code pattern displays this:CQ CQ BST IS GONE II BST IS GONE N HPE FREQ 3450 RT GB AMERIC@, which means GENERAL CALL, GENERAL CALL, BOSTON IS GONE, I REPEAT, BOSTON IS GONE. NO HOPE. FREQUENCY 3450 RETURN TRANSMISSION. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Perhaps a conformation that the new fallout will take place in Massachusetts? Or maybe that we could see some pre-war gameplay? Stay tuned for more information, along with a decryption of the encoded text.

[UPDATE 1] Some Redditors have translated the code on the screen to read THE INSTITUTE IS SEALED. THEY WONT HELP US IM HEADING TO BLACK ROW. -TBNLS 5120- We believe that The Institute in question there is MIT. We will keep you posted as more info flows along!

[UPDATE 2] The morse code just changed at 4:26pm EST. It now reads CQ CQ DE OVS 119 EMERG EN UNKN SOS SOS VT 119 QBN 7667 EN UNKQ Translation via reddit (and us) comes as Calling all stations, this is overseer 119 emergency enemy unknown, SOS. Vault 119 Quabbin 7677 More to come!

[UPDATE 3] It looks like they have also added a new countdown timer to the screen:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The clock is pointing to another release on Wed, December 11th at 4:00pm EST.

[UPDATE 4] We now have confirmation that The Institute refers to MIT, there is currently no word on what Black Row could mean, the closest thing we have is black mountain (almost certainly not it). The Quabbin in the most recent morse code message refers to Quabbin reservoir near Boston, a site which has been referred to before on the website. All of this information definitely points to a Boston situated game, or at least some heavy Massachusetts backstory. There is currently a lack of information pertaining to the enemy unknown

[UPDATE 5] The term vault119 is mentioned in the code, a relevant website is also up (vault119.com), registered on the 29th of December, name withheld. There is currently no evidence linking the two sites together. Its the concensus of the Internet that the Vault119 site is a hoax, please do not put your e-mail in there. Id hate to see you spammed.

[UPDATE 6] New morse code: CQ CQ DE VT OS 119 ANBNR QBN SOS V DR BRE II SOS V DR BRE EN UNKN LVL 1 2 3 GONE SRV ON SL LVL 4. Which means: CALLING ALL STATIONS, FROM VAULT119. ANYBODY NEAR QUABBIN SEND HELP, VAULT DOOR BREACH, REPEAT, SEND HELP, VAULT DOOR BREACH. ENEMY UNKNOWN, LEVEL 1 2 3 GONE, SURVIVOR ON LEVEL 4. Exciting stuff guys

[UPDATE 7] New text translation: MY DEAR SISTER. IM HEADING TO THE INSTITUTE. GOD KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE NOW. THE OLD BASTARD WILL HELP US. HE MUST HELP US. -0321- THE INSTITUTE IS SEALED. THEY WONT HELP US, IM HEADING THE BLACK ROW TBNLS again we hear of black row, Reddit speculators suggest it could be pre-war merchants row

[UPDATE 8] Site is down for now. Will continue updating when it comes up.

[UPDATE 9] After hours of being down. The site is back up. The speculation is abound on why it was down. Some people think that it was just over traffic. Others think that it may have been a legal thing if its a hoax. Only time will tell.

[UPDATE 10]There is new Morse Code posted on their site. The Message reads: CQ CQ CQ DE VT 119 SOS LVL4 UND ATTK OS IS DEAD II SOS LVL4 UND ATTK OS IS DEAD WE WNT MK IT. It also looks like they added more time to the counter. It would now end on December 11th at 8:00PM EST.
Its believed to read CALLING ANY STATION CALLING ANY STATION CALLING ANY STATION FROM VAULT 119 SOS LEVEL 4 UNDER ATTACK OVERSEER IS DEAD I SAY AGAIN SOS LEVEL 4 UNDER ATTACK OVERSEER IS DEAD WE WONT MAKE IT Ill update the translation as soon as we get more!

[UPDATE 11] Sorry for the delay folks, (naptime) but we have new code already: CLG BR OTST GX IS SF TL LVL 4 BRE N SRV 899 CRPS WE LVG VT 119 KN.
The supposed translation is CALLING BLACK ROW, OTHER STATIONS GROUND IS SAFE TOTAL LOSS LEVEL 4 BREECH NO SURVIVORS 899 CORPSES. WERE LEAVING VAULT 119, OVER.

[UPDATE 12] Redditors have found a new page on the site located at thesurvivor2299.com/VT119/ Which shows the following screen:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The screen also has encoded message on it saying:
REV FEAR MGSS LHMH EVHV KBIMR QIUBMU. CBL Z YYG MN HBM ZQSUB ZZAY. It has been dechyphered saying THEY DONT KNOW WHATS COMING. ITS A KEY TO THE GREAT GAME.
hmmm.

hmmm.

[UPDATE 13] There was a new Morse Code that came in: CLG BR OTST RPT SUSP ACT NER SL TI 1 VTD 02 N 3 UNWN HUM 03 MIL NW K
Translation: CALLING BLACK ROW OUTSTATION. REPORTING SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY NEAR SECURE LOCATION: THE INSTITUTEONE VAULT DWELLER 2 MILES NORTH; THREE UNKNOWN HUMANS 3 MILES NORTHWEST, OVER

The story is getting good

[UPDATE 14] Another update to the site:
Theres a New Chipher on the front page:

ZYX 5625478+7878 HVCD AYX XOTF LFG IVL EGIBDYU CD RZWVI?
UJYH VOSC FW SFPGS POCVK KYVI L UWX IVYGLV. XZAG YU, DHNY PJFF CCZ! ZMK NZHP HQ QV.
NAWLV OSS HEJB RGO TVXS HBVD?

Dechyphered to: WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU LOOKING AT KIDDO? DONT TELL ME YOUVE NEVER SEEN A GUN BEFORE. COME ON, MOVE YOUR ASS! ITS TIME TO GO

There is also new Morse Code coded as:
CLG BR CLG BR RPT DY SEV ON HVB PPL AR SCRD LST NGHT WE HRD STR NES FM TI ATM WE SE STR HUM DX 2 MIL N SMTH INT RGTH WID TH PL K

Translated into:
Calling Black Row, Calling Black Row. Report: day seven, on Harvard Bridge. People are scared; last night we heard strange noises from The Institute. At the moment we see strange humans distance 2 miles north. Something isnt right with that place, over.

[UPDATE 15] Yet another update! Wow, they are really giving us a great tease here huh?
Theres a new code: CLG BR EMRG IS OVR WE AR OTNB WT AMO STH ATK CMP WA DD N WY OU ALL UNT CD 5210 EVAC Z Y X YUR NXT

Which translates to CALLING BLACK ROW, ["EMERGENCY IS OVER," OR "EMERGENCY! IT'S OVER."] WE ARE ["ON THE NORTH BRIDGE" OR "OUTNUMBERED"] WITHOUT AMMO. SOMETHING ATTACKED CAMP. WE ARE DOOMED, NO WAY OUT, ALL UNITS ["CONFIRMED DEAD." OR "CODE:"] 5120: EVACUATE. Z Y X, YOURE NEXT

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[UPDATE 16]
We have another update, this time a cipher, which has been modified slightly: AK: {REV ____ 5120} [CPS] PASS {LOC BB YEAR LET} | H EY XHWHD OF GXSIHS EVE, ZFR GK ATGEVY ROCLJM QEOX.GTJX ZSFF QRYTYHA HWEUHG WG VKKP HHWE. MCCCZNU SQ UUE VMXECEDCZ. MFE BNMC NEGE QLZCR TP MZ MR YUOG ACBSM |

Which translates to (with AK as alphabet key, and PASS as passphrase): I AM SORRY TO INFORM YOU, BUT IM AFRAID THEYRE DEAD. YOUR LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM IS JUST FINE. WELCOME TO THE INSTITUTE. THE ONLY SAFE PLACE IN THIS WORLD.

The plot thickens!

[UPDATE 17] We have come across a piece of news that may confirm that Fallout 4 Will NOT be announced this weekend at VGX. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

[UPDATE 18] Looks like the site has changed once again:
Theres a new cypher that reads:

REV 3120 PAB UNAT BA XVQ, VGF ABG BIRE LRG VG YBBXF ONQ XRRC GURZ OHFL, VYY TRG UVZ GB GUR FURYGRE

The tricky decoding (dechyphering and reversing the message) says:
CNO(?) HANG ON KID, ITS NOT OVER YET IT LOOKS BAD KEEP THEM BUSY, ILL GET HIM TO THE SHELTER

Theres new Morse code as well that comes out as: CQ CQ CQ BR AA EMRG MSG WE R UR ATK FREQ 2250 II AA EMRG MSG WE R UR ATK FREQ 2250 II AA EMRG MSG WE R UR ATK FREQ 2250
Which comes out as:

CALLING ALL STATIONS (X3). BREAK. ATTENTION ALL. EMERGENCY MESSAGE. WE ARE UNDER ATTACK. (TURN TO) FREQUENCY 2250. I SAY AGAIN. ATTENTION ALL. EMERGENCY MESSAGE. WE ARE UNDER ATTACK. (TURN TO) FREQUENCY 2250.

Sounds like its going down. Hoax or not, at least its a decent story! Stay Tuned for more!

[UPDATE 19] Theres new Morse code and the cypher has been taken down
New Morse Code says: PSE AS

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


[UPDATE 20] Taking some wind out of the sails Bethesda tweeted the following:

PSA: If you dont hear it through an official channel like this, assume all rumors and speculation are false.

The fanboys at Reddit and IRC are calling their bluff tho, making it sound like the Please Stand By came at the right time. We will still follow this as we learn more.

[UPDATE 21] And with the final updatethe site was a fake Were as sad as you are! Look forward to a recap and to see if we can get some answers.

This is a very well done post with a lot of interesting stuff. Please keep updating it!

Also lets hope that website is actually real though. It looks like it is real but we don't know for sure.

For anyone that prefers looking at original sources and not attempting to read stupid fonts: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
From what I can tell, this is just a mass copy and paste anyway and isn't helping in the slightest.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] is a good place to be right now as well, with the whole mega thread thing they have going on.

Stay cool, wastelanders.

You clearly cannot read, I stated multiple time's that all of the info above is directly from Tech Raptor. I am not taking credit for anything, I simply am compiling all possible info into one thread. I did not simply copy & paste either, I searched and found all the links and most of the information at the bottom half of the post.
