Season 4: Armor Ace in Cold Steel

Rank Up!: The new Scoreboard features 100 ranks to achieve as you rank up and the Power Patrol squares off against the Yukon Five, one-by-one.
New Rewards: As always, we’ve added a host of new rewards that you will unlock as you rank up, including Power Armor paints, Weapon Skins, Outfits, themed cosmetics, C.A.M.P. items, in-game currencies, consumables, Perk Card Packs, and more.

- Additionally, we’ve once again added several bonus rewards that Fallout 1st members can claim at certain rank milestones in addition to the normal rewards those ranks offer.

S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts

S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts offer even more adaptability to your characters in the face of the Wasteland’s ever-growing threats by allowing you to modify or completely reboot your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes for free.

Visit a “Punch Card Machine” at any time to adjust your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. to your heart’s content, change your Perk Card selections, and save your new custom setup into a slot.
- Your characters will gain access to S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts starting at level 25.
- Currently, each character can have up to two S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadout slots, and you can swap between them using a Punch Card Machine.
- In addition, you can rename your Loadout slots, which will help you quickly tell them apart.

At level 25, you’ll learn the plan to build a Punch Card Machine in your C.A.M.P. so that you can change up your Loadouts whenever you head home.
- While in your C.A.M.P, open up the Build menu, navigate to the Crafting tab, select the Punch Card Machine, and place it down.
- We’ve also placed Punch Card Machines at Train Stations throughout Appalachia, in The Crater, and at Foundation.
- You can use any Punch Card Machines you find in other players’ C.A.M.P.s, as well.

We’ve removed the “Move-a-Point” option on the level-up screen, since S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts allow you to change your stats much more easily.

C.A.M.P. Slots

Have you ever found the perfect spot to start building a new Appalachian home, but you just couldn’t bring yourself to tear down your current C.A.M.P.? That difficult decision is a thing of the past with C.A.M.P. Slots, which allow you to build and maintain two C.A.M.P.s at once!

Each C.A.M.P. you construct is now saved as a C.A.M.P. Slot, which you can access and manage through the new “C.A.M.P. Slots” menu in the upper-left corner of the Map.
- Currently, each of your characters will have access to two C.A.M.P. Slots: The C.A.M.P. you already have in-game, plus an additional Slot.
- You can use the C.A.M.P. Slots menu to see all your current C.A.M.P. Slots, rename them, choose their Map icons, and decide whether your C.A.M.P. is visible to other players on the Map.
- C.A.M.P. names are only visible to the player who built them.

C.A.M.P. names are only visible to the player who built them.
You can have one active C.A.M.P. at a time, and all others will be considered “stored.”
- Your active C.A.M.P.’s Map icon will appear gold to you.
- If you enable your active C.A.M.P.’s Public Map Icon, it will appear on the map in white to other players. When the Public Map Icon is disabled, only you will be able to see it.
- Only you will be able to see the icons for your stored C.A.M.P.s.
- Additionally, powering a Vending Machine no longer automatically adds a Vendor icon to your C.A.M.P.’s location on the Map. Instead, you must set this yourself from using the C.A.M.P. Slots menu.
- To change which C.A.M.P. you would like to use, head to the Map to click one of your C.A.M.P.s, or select it in the C.A.M.P. Slots menu, and then choose “Activate CAMP”
- Your stored C.A.M.P.s will not load into the world, show icons to other players on the Map, or produce resources from Resource Generators.

Vending Machine Display Case Updates

With the introduction of C.A.M.P. Slots, we have also made changes to the way Vending Machines and Display Cases work.
- Your Vending Machines will have the same shared inventory across all your C.A.M.P.s, so that you will not need to reassign the items you would like to sell every time you build a new C.A.M.P.
- We have also merged all Vending Machine item slots into a single pool, which means you will now be able to sell the maximum number of items with just one Vending Machine.
- Other types of CAMP items, like Refrigerators and Fermenters, now also share their inventories across your different C.A.M.P.s.
- Your Display Cases, however, are not shared across C.A.M.P.s, which will give you the ability to show off different items at each of your homes.

While we were working to implement C.A.M.P. Slots, we also added the ability to build and use Display Cases and Vending Machines inside of your Shelters.
- Vending Machines in Shelters will share the same slots and item assignments as those you have built in your C.A.M.P.s.
- Display Cases you build inside Shelters will allow you to assign different items from any Displays you may have in your C.A.M.P.

Display Cases you build inside Shelters will allow you to assign different items from any Displays you may have in your C.A.M.P.
Finally, we’ve made an adjustment so that items you place into your Display Cases will no longer consume any of your C.A.M.P. build budget.

Daily Ops Expansion

Today’s update nearly doubles the amount of available Daily Ops content, with the addition of the new “Decryption” mode, as well as new locations, enemies, mutations, and rewards.

New Mode: Decryption

In Decryption Mode, you’re on a mission to disable three Radio Interceptors for Vernon Dodge.
To do this, you’ll need to hunt for three enemy “Code Carriers,” and then take them down to get a special code you can use to disable a Radio Interceptor.
Enemy waves you face will become more difficult after each Interceptor you disable, until you’ve killed the Daily Op boss and pulled the plug on the final Interceptor.

New Mutations

Enemies in Decryption have a new default Mutation, called Savage Strike, which makes their attacks more deadly and causes them to ignore your armor resistances.
We’ve also added several new Mutations to the randomized pool that can apply to enemies in any Daily Ops mode:
Group Regeneration: Enemies heal when grouped together.
Swift-Footed: Enemies have extra fast movement and melee attacks speeds.
Toxic Blood: On death, enemies leave behind poisonous hazard pool.

New Enemy Types

We’ve added Scorched, Mothman Cultists, and Mole Miners to the pool of randomized enemy types you may encounter in any Daily Ops mode.

New Locations

Fight your way through Vault 96, Watoga Raider Arena, and West Tek Research Center, all of which have been added to the randomized pool of locations for Daily Ops.

Reward Updates

In this update for Daily Ops, we’re adding a host of new rewards, including new Covert Scout Armor, which has some built-in stealthy utility.
We’re also adding plans for the “Unstoppable Monster” and “Medical Malpractice” legendary weapons, and a variety of new plans for objects you can build in your C.A.M.P.
Following community feedback, we’ve also rebalanced Daily Ops rewards lists to give players a better chance at getting rare rewards.

Additional Design Updates

Combat

Melee Attack Updates: We’ve implemented a number of fixes, tweaks, and improvements to player melee attacks so that your strikes more consistently meet their targets.

Events

Hunt for the Treasure Hunter: Keep an eye on our Community Calendar for upcoming Hunt for the Treasure Hunter Weekends, because Treasure Hunter Mole Miners have found some new loot that you can claim for yourself.

User Interface

Aim Assist: We’ve added a new game setting for players who use controllers that will help them more easily snap their crosshairs to enemies and stay on target when aiming down the sights with ranged weapons.
Batch Crafting: You can now assemble, forge, cook, or manufacture an entire stack of an item all at once using a new slider that we’ve added when you’re crafting at a Workbench.
- To do this, select the item you want to craft, and then adjust the slider to the quantity that you need.
To do this, select the item you want to craft, and then adjust the slider to the quantity that you need.
World Activity Updates: The World Activity Menu now includes more than Daily Ops! It will now help you stay up-to-date with many more activities in the world, including active Nuke Zones, Events, and nearby player Vending Machines, giving you an easy way to find and Fast Travel to them.

Inventory and User Interface Improvements

Stash Increase
Hold onto extra gear with a Stash increase! We've increased the amount of weight your Stash can hold by 50%, giving you 1,200 pounds to work with.

New Inventory Tabs
We’ve added a few new tabs to your inventory menus so that you can better organize your gear, from your snacks and Stimpaks, to your outfits and armor.

New – This tab will keep track of all the items you gather during a play session, sorted by newest to oldest.
If you already have a stackable item in your inventory, like Steel Scrap, then new Steel Scrap you pick up will not appear in the “New” tab. Instead, it will be added to your existing stack.
Additionally, the “New” tab will reset if you leave your current world.
Armor – We’ve split Armor into its own menu tab so that you can keep your defensive gear separate from your other Apparel.
Food/Drinks – Your food and drinks are now split out from “Aid” into their own “Food/Drinks” inventory tab.
Please note that your Chems and Serums will remain in “Aid.”

Stack Weight
What’s weighing you down? From now on, when you select a stacked item in your inventory, the Pip-Boy will show you the individual weight and the stack weight.

Vending Machine Map Previews
The tooltip that appears when you’re previewing another player’s Vending Machines on the Map will now show the number of 1-, 2-, and 3-star legendary weapons and armor they’re selling. This way, you’ll have more information about the legendary goodies players are selling before you choose to Fast Travel to their C.A.M.P.s. Additionally, Vending Machine categories that are empty will no longer appear in the tooltip to help you more easily see what types of items players do have for sale.

Atomic Shop
We’ve added a button to each category page in the Atomic Shop that will let you show or hide the items you already own, so that you can browse what’s still available with less clutter.

Build Mode Visual Improvement
We’ve changed the color of the outline that appears when you build objects in your C.A.M.P. from green to light blue, which should be more friendly for our builders who have colorblindness. This change is only visible when the object you're trying to place is in a valid location, and invalid placement outlines are still red.

Daily Ops

Elder Tier Rewards
In response to community feedback, we’ve adjusted Daily Ops rewards so that you will always receive an item from the rare rewards pool whenever you complete an Op fast enough to reach Elder Tier.

New Challenges and Rewards

Starting today, and lasting until February 16, you can claim a free “Heart Wrencher” Skin for the Pipe Wrench in the Atomic Shop, and then use it to complete Challenges that will unlock new cosmetic and consumable rewards!

Design Updates

Dynamic Bundle Updates

Please Note: Since we decided to release Steel Dawn early, Dynamic Bundles will not be available until our original patch date of December 1.
A common suggestion we’ve received from Atomic Shop aficionados has been to reduce bundle prices for players who already own some of the items they contain. With today’s update, we’ve added pricing tech that will do just that.
- Going forward, if you own one or more items in a bundle, its Atom price will automatically reduce accordingly. The more items you already have, the lower your adjusted price.
- Bundles that have been adjusted this way will now display your price vs. the original price.
- Items you already own will be marked in each Bundle’s description.

Items you already own will be marked in each Bundle’s description.
We’ve also added a new “Bundles” category to the left-hand side of the Atomic Shop menu so that you can more easily find all of the bundles that are currently available without having to hunt for them on multiple pages.

Atomic Shop Updates

- Backpacks you crafted prior to the Steel Dawn Update will not have Backpack Flair mod slots. Craft new versions of your Backpacks to cause the Backpack Flair slots to appear.
- Please Note: While the Backpack Flair system is live as of November 24, Flairs themselves are not yet available. We will let you know as soon as we add them on a later date.

Mutations and Enemies: To help keep Daily Ops feeling fresh each day, we’ve made an adjustment to prevent the same enemy mutation and faction from appearing two days in a row.

Hunger and Thirst

We agree with feedback from the community that our hunger and thirst mechanics could feel a little too punishing. We’ve decided to remove the negative effects when you’re hungry or thirsty, and buff up the bonuses you receive when you’re fed and hydrated.
Going forward, your Action Points, Health, and Disease Resists will no longer be negatively affected when you haven’t had anything to eat or drink recently.
Instead, you will receive buffs that increase depending on how full your hunger and thirst meters are:

One Wasteland

With today’s update, we’re excited to introduce One Wasteland to Fallout 76, which allows creatures to dynamically adjust their levels up or down on the fly to more closely match each player they encounter. If multiple players all come across the same enemy at the same time, its level will simultaneously rise for the higher-level players and drop for the lower-level players.

In addition to their levels, each creature’s damage, health, and resistances, as well as the loot they drop and the XP they award, will also better match each player. This means that all players who are adventuring together can have an impact on any given combat encounter, even if there is a large level gap between them. While creatures will still have minimum and maximum levels, such as a max of level 50 in The Forest, they are now much more flexible overall.

One Wasteland opens up more opportunities to adventure anywhere in Appalachia, whether alone or with your friends. It also smooths out some of the early game bumps for new players, allows higher-level players to get max-level loot in previously lower-level regions, and should offer more consistent combat encounters for everyone.

Fallout 76 Season 2

Join Armor Ace and the Power Patrol in their march against the oppressive Subjugator and his army of Red Viper minions during Fallout 76 Season 2, which begins today!

Season 2 brings the all-new “Armor Ace” S.C.O.R.E.board to the game, featuring 100 ranks for you to achieve during the next 10 weeks. We’ve added a host of rewards that you will unlock as you rank up, including new Power Armor paints, Armor and Weapon Skins, themed cosmetics, C.A.M.P. items, in-game currencies, Perk Card Packs, and more.

We’ve made several adjustments this Season that you may want to keep in mind as you dive in:

Rank-ups will be purchasable immediately, so those who would like to rank up using Atoms can join the fight to crush the Red Vipers starting today.
We’ve implemented some new Daily and Weekly Challenges, such as Daily Ops themed Challenges, to offer you even more day-to-day variety as you rank up.
We’re also adding more Weeklies to the Challenge lineup so you have more flexibility to progress on your schedule.
Finally, we’ve made several of last Season’s rewards, like Lunchboxes, the Ammo Converter, available at Gold Bullion vendors so players who missed them have another opportunity to unlock them.

Daily Ops

Put your skills to the test by taking on instanced, randomized, and repeatable encounters called “Daily Ops.” Daily Ops are fairly challenging, and so we recommend them for characters who are level 50+.

Our first Game Mode for Daily Ops is called “Uplink,” which will require you to secure a series of Uplinks to track down and destroy enemies that are threats to Appalachia.

To join a Daily Op, open the Map screen and find the new World Activity tracker we’ve added in the lower-left corner.

Each day, Daily Ops will feature a fresh combination of location, enemy faction, and enemy mutations to keep you on your toes.

Locations: The Burrows, The Burning Mine, Valley Galleria, or Vault 94
Enemy Factions: Super Mutants, Blood Eagles, or Robots
Enemy Mutations:
Piercing Gaze: This mutation is always applied to enemies the “Uplink” Daily Ops mode, and gives them greatly enhanced perception of players.
Volatile: Enemies will explode on death
Active Camouflage: Enemies will be cloaked when not attacking
Resilient: Enemies can only be killed by a melee attack
Freezing Touch: Enemy attacks will freeze players

Since you will be facing constant combat and deadly threats during your Operations, we’ve reduced the condition damage taken by your weapons and armor by 50% while in a Daily Op.

Like the event “A Colossal Problem,” creatures in Daily Ops will drop ammo based on the weapons you’re using when you take them down. This will help keep your ammo reserves topped off through lots of combat.

You can repeat Daily Ops as often as you’d like each day, and you will receive a base set of rewards every time you complete one. However, there are three additional reward tiers that you can reach once per day by completing a Daily Op within certain time limits:

Initiate Tier: 16 minutes or less
Paladin Tier: 12 minutes or less
Elder Tier: 8 minutes or less

After finishing a Daily Op, you’ll be able to view an Operation Report, which shows you how fast you managed to complete it, which reward tiers you reached, and a list of the rewards you earned (except for XP and currencies).

Legendary Perks

Legendary Perks are new high-level Perk Cards for players who have reached level 50+, which will help you add even more power and build diversity to your characters. You will unlock your first Legendary Perk Slot at level 50, and up to 6 slots in total at certain level milestones after that: 75, 100, 150, 200, and 300.

Legendary Perk Slots are account-wide, and will be available to all of your characters as soon as you unlock them. With Legendary Perks, we’re introducing “Perk Coins,” which you can use to increase the power of your Legendary Perk Cards by upgrading them.

Design Updates

General

Fast Travel: It is now free to Fast Travel to Foundation and Crater.

Combat

Bonus Damage: We’ve changed the way that damage bonuses are calculated so that they now apply additively instead of multiplicatively.
Please Note: While stacking damage bonuses will now have a smaller overall effect on your damage output than before, these changes will make the resulting damage much more predictable and allow for future improvements. This is very important for the health of the game going forward. It will also create better opportunities for us to make smarter and more effective balance changes.
We are still evaluating feedback we gathered on these changes from the PTS, but we also welcome your thoughts on how different weapons and builds feel after today’s update so that we can make additional adjustments in the future.

Fortifying Atlas

Starting today, you can take part in “Fortifying ATLAS,” a two-part community-wide effort to construct a prospective base for the Brotherhood of Steel. If the community successfully turns in enough supplies during the next few weeks, everyone will unlock events and new cosmetic rewards.

A man named Russell Dorsey believes the Brotherhood of Steel are headed to Appalachia, and that ATLAS Observatory in the Savage Divide will make a perfect makeshift HQ when they arrive.

Russell is heading up supply gathering efforts. He will ask everyone to help deliver an abundance of raw materials to aid in fortifying ATLAS over the next few weeks.

If the community delivers enough scrap of each type in time, all players will earn in-game rewards, including new Brotherhood of Steel themed cosmetics, a Purveyor Super Sale, a Double S.C.O.R.E. Daily event, and more!

Additionally, every time you contribute materials, you will receive “ATLAS Donor's Provisions,” which you can open from your inventory to receive goodies and a chance at rare Plans.

Fortifying ATLAS will take place in two parts: Project Alpha, starting August 4, and Project Bravo, which starts on August 27.

Each Project has its own supply requirements, collection dates, and rewards.

A Colossal Problem

“A Colossal Problem” is an instanced multiplayer Public Event that will take place deep in the heart of Monongah Mine in the Savage Divide.

Today’s update brings the new Public Event “A Colossal Problem” to the game. However, we are still making some performance tweaks and doing additional testing before we enable the event. We are planning to make “A Colossal Problem” available with a follow-up update in the next couple of weeks.

Once we’ve enabled “A Colossal Problem”, you will be able to meet Maggie Williams in Foundation to learn about Monongah Mine and begin the side quest “Something Sentimental.” Unfortunately, the entrance to Monongah Mine has become blocked. You will have to blast your way inside by dropping a Nuke. Once inside Monongah Mine, you and your event mates will have a few minutes to prepare. If you topple the Colossus before the event timer expires, you will be rewarded with some loot, XP, Caps, Treasury Notes, and a chance at new themed items for your C.A.M.P.

Meat Week Returns

The Meat Week Seasonal Event is returning to Appalachia this month from August 18 – 24. If you haven’t taken part in the past, Meat Week offers great opportunities to earn some Legendary Scrip, claim some loot, and join the community (along with Grahm, everyone’s favorite Super Mutant) for a delicious Meat Cook. Meat Week happens in two parts, and you can read below to learn the basics:

Primal Cuts
Grahm only wants to provide top notch fare during his Meat Cook. Join Primal Cuts events in different regions of Appalachia to take down Prime Beasts and gather some Prime Meat.

Primal Cuts events begin every 15 minutes in three regions of Appalachia at once. Kill the waves of Prime Beasts before the Primal Cuts timer expires and you will receive a few cuts of Prime Meat as a reward.

Grahm's Meat Cook
To celebrate Meat Week, Grahm is hosting a Meat Cook for all his favorite humans every hour on the hour near Vault 76 in the Forest.

Help Grahm complete a variety of activities, like putting out fires, playing music, spinning meat spits, cleaning up after Chally, and more to help ensure his party is a hit. The more successful the Meat Cook, the higher your chances at better rewards from the event.

We’ve also added a few new rewards this year, like plans to craft your own Tenderizer, a new Outfit, and more!

Design Updates

Ammo Converter: Following community feedback, we’ve made several improvements to the Ammo Converter.

We’ve added options to buy and sell 10x and 100x the normal amounts of ammo so that you can exchange larger stacks more quickly.
Buying and selling has been incorporated directly into the terminal page for each ammo type, which means fewer screens to click through when exchanging your ammo.
We’ve upped the maximum amount of AmmoPoints you can store from 2,000 to 100,000.

Legendary Loot: Daily Quests and Events have had their legendary loot rewards updated to include additional items, like The Fixer, Secret Service Armor, and others, so long as you’ve learned the Plans for them.

Update 20 - June 20, 2020

PC Patch Version: 1.3.2.10
PC Patch Size: 4GB

Fallout 76 Seasons

Fallout 76 Season 1 game board — (Image credit: Bethesda)

Today’s patch adds the new 76 Seasons system to the game, which includes a new account-wide progression system that will overhaul our current Challenges and offer you lots of in-game rewards. Our first Season is called “The Legendary Run” and everyone can join in the fun and start earning rewards for free immediately following today’s patch maintenance.

Race Among The Stars
We’ve added a new option on the Main Menu for The Legendary Run, which you can access to view the Season 1 progression screen, keep track of your progress, and preview all available rewards.

Your progression is represented as spaceship gamepiece on the board. Can you beat Dr. Zorbo to the finish line before the 10-week Season comes to an end?

You will begin “The Legendary Run” at Rank 1, and you can advance your position on the board by earning S.C.O.R.E. through your Daily and Weekly Challenges. These include completing Public Events and leveling up your character.

Every time you reach a new Rank, you will be able to claim a new reward, like unique armors, C.A.M.P. items, weapon skins, Power Armor paints, consumables, Perk Card Packs, Atoms—even in-game currencies, like Scrip, Caps, or Gold Bullion!
There are 100 Ranks to achieve in total during Season 1, and more than 40 new cosmetic items up for grabs along the way.
All players will play using the same progression and reward path, which means everyone is working towards the same rewards through the entire season.

Starting two weeks after The Legendary Run begins, players will have the option to spend 150 Atoms to immediately unlock the next rank and claim its reward.

Take On New Challenges
Daily and Weekly Challenges have received significant updates with today’s patch.

Daily and Weekly Challenges now award S.C.O.R.E. instead of Atoms, and completing them is the primary way to progress during a Season.
Nuclear Winter Daily and Weekly Challenges now award S.C.O.R.E. in addition to their other rewards.
We’ve streamlined the Daily and Weekly Challenges you receive so that they are more straightforward and easier to complete.
We’ve also changed the number of Challenges you receive on a daily and weekly basis so that they are more predictable and consistent.

Claim Your Prizes
After ranking up, head back to The Legendary Run progression screen to claim your rewards directly from the corresponding Rank on the gameboard.

When you unlock consumables, like Repair Kits, or in-game currencies, like Caps, they will only apply to one of your characters.

Public Teams

Our new Public Teams system makes grouping up with others easier than ever, and offers special bonuses to players who choose to play together toward a shared team goal.

Join A Team

We’ve added a new “Public Teams” tab to the top of the Social Menu that you can select to browse all Public Teams in your current world, join one, or create a team of your own.
Every Public Team has its own Team Goal set by the Team Leader, like Exploration or Events, which can help you find like-minded players to join.
Public Teams can have up to four members at once, so as long as there is an open spot you can click one of the teams in the list to join it immediately.
You can also open the Map to see where current Public Teams are in Appalachia, and join them from there.
Team Leaders display special icons showing their current goal, and you can click on them to view additional details before choosing to join the team.

Create A Team

To start your own Public Team, hit the “Create New Team” button in the Public Teams tab in the Social Menu.
Next, select a goal for your team. There are currently six to choose from: Hunting, Roleplay, Events, Exploration, Building, or Casual.
Once you’ve selected a goal, all players in your current world will receive a notification that a new Public Team is available.
Your Public Team notification will not appear to players you’ve blocked and vice versa.
Multiple Public Teams of the same type can exist at once, so you can choose any Team Goal you wish.
As the Team Leader, you can freely change your Team Goal at any time using the Social Menu.
If needed, you also have the ability to kick or block any players from your Public Team.
You can also invite your friends or other players to form a private team with you, and then convert it into a Public Team at a later time using the Social Menu.

Team Goals and Bonds
While on a Public Team, you will receive a small buff that’s themed to align with your current Team Goal. Over time, you and your new teammates will form Bonds, and each bonded teammate you have will add another stack to your Team Goal buff.

Here are all of the current Team Goals and their associated bonuses:

Hunting – Bonus: +25% XP for Legendary Kills (100% for a fully bonded team)
Roleplay – Bonus: +1 Charisma (+4 for a fully bonded team)
Events – Bonus: +25% XP for completing Events (100% for a fully bonded team)
Exploration – Bonus: +1 Endurance (+4 for a fully bonded team)
Building – Bonus: +1 Intelligence (+4 for a fully bonded team)
Casual – Bonus: +1 Luck (+4 for a fully bonded team)

While you are on a Public Team, there are a few additional things you may wish to keep in mind:

Your teammates will likely be focused on their current Team Goal. Be sure to join a team that matches your interests, or create a team of your own if you don’t find the type of team you are looking for in your world.
You and your teammates will not be able to build in each other’s C.A.M.P.s. However, you can still do this by forming or joining a normal “private” team.
You also cannot open locked doors or containers that your Public Teammates have built without becoming Wanted.

Design Updates

Team PVP: we’ve adjusted the rules of team PVP for both private and Public Teams so that a team member who engages in PVP with an outside player no longer also flags their teammates for PVP.

Instead, teammates must start PVP combat with the outside player individually to join the fight. This will help prevent players from being dragged into PVP combat that they didn’t initiate.

PC Patch Version: 1.3.1.26
PC Patch Size: 4.1 GB

When interacting with an Ally in your C.A.M.P., a new “customize” option will now appear that you can use to change their clothing. Outfits, Headwear, Costumes, Armor—If you can wear it, then so can your Ally! The only current exceptions are Power Armor and Weapons.

Anything you dress your Ally in is purely cosmetic. They will not receive any buffs or bonuses from the apparel they wear.

Please note that scrapping an Ally Station will revert that Ally to their default outfit. Allies will also appear to be in their default outfit if they are in an instance with you.

Keep in mind that you can still give your items custom names, which will override their automatically generated names.

We’ve improved Backpack customization so that you can now apply different appearances to your Backpacks as skins—no more crafting required!

NPCs and Dialogue

A whole host of new people have arrived in Appalachia, seeking their fortunes or just a safe place to live. These NPCs can be found all over the place. Some of them you can talk to and have interactive conversations.

The mechanics of dialogue are similar to Fallout 3 – you have a variety of choices, S.P.E.C.I.A.L. checks, and options available to you contextually.
A single player response can have any number of choices available, if there are more choices than fit the display you can scroll down to see them all.
Additionally, full conversations have been added to many of the original NPCs of Fallout 76—characters like Rose, MODUS, and the Grafton Mayor (and more) can be engaged in dialogue.

A New Main Quest

The arrival of new people in Appalachia means there are many new adventures to be had. Wastelanders brings an entirely new story to Fallout 76 that you can uncover and explore as you complete new main quests.

Just outside of Vault 76, you can dive into the Wastelanders story and meet Lacey and Isela, who will guide you to experience the Wayward quest line.
At level 20, the full main quest opens in Sutton. It will get you acquainted with the two largest factions in Appalachia – the Raiders and Settlers.
The original Fallout 76 main quest is still available, but expect new touches of life. Both with new NPCs and full dialogue with existing NPCs.

The Raiders
The Raiders are in part survivors that fled Appalachia, who have now returned to reclaim land they believe is rightfully theirs. They’ve built a base of operations, called Crater, at the Crashed Space Station.

The Settlers
The Settlers are a collection of survivors gathered by some construction workers from the Washington D.C. area. When they heard there was land, they caravanned to Appalachia and repurposed existing structures at Spruce Knob to construct Foundation.

Gold Bullion and Faction Reputation

Wastelanders features some new exciting weapons, armors, and other items. You can unlock these items via the new Gold Bullion system.

After completing the Main Quest, you will gain access to Gold Bullion, a new in-game currency.

Gold Bullion can be gathered by exchanging Treasury Notes at Gold Press Machines, up to a daily limit.
Treasury Notes can be earned from Wastelanders daily quests and by completing Public Events.
Gold Bullion can also be purchased directly from a vendor in the Wayward using Caps, up to a weekly limit.

Faction Reputation

Some of the Wastelanders gear is only available as you become better friends with the Settlers and Raiders through the new Reputation System.

Gain reputation with these factions by completing story quests for them, making in-game decisions, and by doing their daily quests.
Items you can get this way include weapons like the Gauss Shotgun or Gauss Minigun, C.A.M.P. items like Farmable Tiles, and even the yummy Appalachia treat—Pepperoni Rolls, among others.

Allies

Another exciting addition to Wastelanders, Allies are NPCs you will encounter in the world who can move into your C.A.M.P., help protect it, and keep you company.

Allies also provide adventuring opportunities through daily quests they offer.
Two of the Allies are unique. Both have a mini-quest line, romance opportunities, and offer the chance to really get to know some interesting characters.

Repeatable Events and Daily Quests

Riding Shotgun
Riding Shotgun is a new event at Big Bend Tunnel East. Take part by speaking with Vinny Costa near the entrance to the Tunnel. He offers the event every so often, so check in with him regularly if you want to help him out.

Radiation Rumble
Radiation Rumble is a challenging new Public Event that will appear on the map at Emmett Mountain Disposal Site. A group of Scavengers have set their sights on mining the precious ore found deep within Emmett Mountain Disposal Site, but they’ve been backed into a corner by treacherous glowing creatures.

New Daily Quests
There are four new daily quests available in Wastelanders: Two from the Raiders at Crater, one from the Settlers at Foundation, and one more that you’ll discover as you play through main story quests.

New Enemies

Floaters
Floaters are returning creatures from previous Fallout games. They come in three variations: Flamer, Freezer, and Chomper. They aren’t particularly tough, but when they swarm in with their Super Mutant brethren, they can really change a battle.

Wendigo Colossus
The elusive Wendigo Colossus is a terrifying monstrosity rumored to only rear its head in areas hit by atomic fire. They are seriously tough, and even a hearty adventurer will find it challenging to square off with one alone. If you plan to hunt down a Wendigo Colossus bring friends—lots of them!

Blood Eagles
Bloodthirsty and cruel, the Blood Eagles are a group of human miscreants fueled by chems, who treat the Wasteland like their personal playground. Even more frightening are their numbers. Bands of Blood Eagles have sprung up throughout Appalachia, so keep your weapons close and be ready to defend yourself.

Cult of the Mothman
No one is quite sure what these mysterious cultists are up to, but they’ve recently begun inhabiting a few existing locations in Appalachia. Stay on your guard if you encounter these cultists in the wild. You can be sure that they won’t let you or anyone else get in the way of their rituals.

New and Updated Locations

We’ve created a number of new locations that you will discover, such as the Watoga Underground, The Deep, The Wayward, new Blood Eagle and Mothman Cultist camps, and more.

Additionally, with the return of people to Appalachia, many have already left their mark on the world. They’ve transformed many existing locations, like the Crashed Space Station, Spruce Knob, and WV Lumber Co., among others, to better suit their needs.

Art and Graphics

Run wild through the Whitespring Resort during the new Mischief Night Seasonal Event, from 12:00 p.m. EDT on October 29 until 12:00 p.m. EST on November 5.

Head to the Springhouse Gazebo at the Whitespring to meet JES-2R, an Eyebot who will take you on an action-packed tour of the resort during Mischief Night.

However, you should notice Public Events starting around twice as often after today’s update.

Flaunt Your Collection:
Show off the gear you’ve collected to everyone who visits your C.A.M.P. by constructing a few Display Cases.

Fill Your Pockets:

(Nuclear Winter) Balance Changes:
We’ve implemented a variety of balance and design updates for many Weapons and other items in Nuclear Winter.

New Vault Raid: Vault 94

The opening of Vault 94 marks the arrival of our first Vault Raid, which is a challenging dungeon experience designed to be completed by a team of up to four level 50+ characters. Vault 94 utilizes instancing technology, which will prevent players who are not on your team from affecting or interrupting your team’s experience.

Note: Bethesda mentions that it is rolling out Vault 94 on PC first. In the event that significant issues are found, this might delay the launch on consoles and, more importantly, Bethesda could decide to pull the raid from PC servers until issues are resolved.

Tune in to begin: Start a Vault Raid by listening to the Vault 94 Emergency Broadcast radio station.

Three missions to complete: Vault 94 features three different missions: Dead in the Water, Meltdown, and Washout.

Each mission lasts for one week, repeats every three weeks, and only one mission at a time will be available for play.

Three difficulty modes: You can choose Novice, Standard, or Expert mode every time you play a mission.

Novice mode is untimed. Standard and Expert mode have quest timers and feature more difficult encounters. More difficult modes also award better loot and more XP.

If time runs out or your entire team is downed, you will need to start the mission over.

Claim new rewards: Complete Vault 94 missions to earn XP, Caps, Improved Repair Kits, Legendary Scrips, crafting materials, and items, like Weapons, Armor, and Plans.

Completing a mission on any difficulty will also award Vault 94 Steel, which is used to craft unique new Vault Armor sets, which grant special bonuses to the wearer.

Vault Armor sets are awarded via Plans by completing Standard or Expert mode missions. Vault Armor can be crafted at Armor Workbenches.

Vault 94 Steel, Vault Armor, and Vault Armor Plans cannot be dropped, traded, or sold.

Vault mission rewards can be earned once per difficulty mode, per mission, per day.

Fallout 76 - Display cases — (Image credit: Bethesda)

C.A.M.P. Display Cases

Display Cases are new C.A.M.P. objects that you can use to show off the Weapons, Magazines, Bobbleheads, and other items you’ve collected. Use the new “Displays” tab in the C.A.M.P. Build menu found between “Stash Boxes” and “Floor Décor” to construct a variety of different displays.

Once built, you can assign items to your Displays directly from your Stash. Items you assign will remain in the Stash, and a new icon will appear next to their names to indicate which items in the list are currently on display. You can place up to 30 Displays at once, and each type of Display has a maximum number of items that can be assign to it.

If the Meat-Cook is a success, you’ll receive some barbeque-themed rewards. The better the party, the higher your chances at better loot.

Patch 11 - July 16, 2019

PC Patch Version: 1.2.1.18
PC Patch Size: 2.5 GB

Patch Highlights

Power Armor Improvements: We’ve made behind-the-scenes improvements to the Power Armor system to help address lots of bugs. As a result, you may notice your Power Armor pieces have moved into your inventory or Stash.
Item descriptions get a makeover: The descriptions for Legendary items, item mods, and crafting recipes now display all of their current attributes when viewing these items in menus.
Nuclear Winter balance changes: As mentioned a few weeks ago, Patch 11 addresses some of the concerns we saw being reported in regard to certain Perks, like Frog Legs.
Better experiences for new players: We’ve made several changes to help new players ease into the challenges of the Wasteland during the early hours of the game. These adjustments should make stepping out of Vault 76 a breath of fresh air.
Delicious libations: Patch 11 marks the return of the Punch Bowl. PARTY AT YOUR C.A.M.P.!

General

We’ve reworked the underlying systems behind Power Armor to address a ton of Power Armor related bugs, improve performance, and help the entire system function more smoothly overall. While most of these are “under the hood” improvements, we believe these changes will help you have better experiences, and encounter fewer issues, while wearing your favorite set of Power Armor.

As this brings a significant update to our Power Armor systems, some players may notice the following one-time side effects upon logging in after downloading today’s patch:

Power Armor pieces may have been unequipped from Power Armor Chassis you own and moved from your Stash to your inventory, or vice versa. You will need to re-equip those pieces after logging in.
Some players may receive an extra Power Armor chassis or extra Power Armor pieces in their inventory or Stash that weren’t present prior to Patch 11. These are items that didn’t save correctly when you originally collected them, and the Power Armor improvements mentioned above have restored them.

If you had one or more Power Armor Chassis in your Stash before installing Patch 11, your character may have been moved to a Train Station in the world.
