At what level should I do Nuka-World?

You should ideally be at level 30 to tackle Nuka-World, as it is designed for level 30+ characters, but if your character is not yet at this level, you can still explore on your own to find the “Nuka-World Transit Center” and start the content. This location is far to the west on the map, and it is outside of the game’s original playable area, allowing for a unique and challenging experience.
