Welcome back to Inside the Vault! This week, we’re sharing a preview of what’s in store for the community on Bombs Drop Day, with three in-game events that will begin next Thursday. A little later today, we’re planning to update the Public Test Server to begin playtesting for Steel Dawn quest content. We’re also sharing a reminder to claim some riches from the Mole Miners during this weekend’s “Hunt for the Treasure Hunter” event. Read on to catch all the details.
BOMBS DROP DAY EVENT-STRAVAGANZA
We remember October 23 every year as the day the bombs dropped, when life on earth changed forever, and mere survival became much more challenging for those who remained. The fact that you not only made it through that harrowing time, but emerged from Vault 76 to begin building new lives in Appalachia is cause for celebration!
Starting next Thursday, October 22, we’re honoring Bombs Drop Day with a trio of in-game events, including Double XP in all game modes, double S.C.O.R.E. rewards from your Daily Challenges, and 25% off any legendary weapons and armor you buy from Purveyor Murmrgh at the Rusty Pick. Join the Bombs Drop festivities next weekend to level-up twice as fast, rank-up with super speed, and fill your armory with some new legendary gear. Here are the details:

NEW QUESTS IN THE PUBLIC TEST SERVER
Over the past couple of weeks, players stormed the Public Test Server (PTS) to share their thoughts and bug reports with us for the upcoming C.A.M.P. Shelters feature. Now, we’d like to invite everyone who owns a PC copy of Fallout 76 through Bethesda.net to join us in playtesting new Steel Dawn quest content the PTS. We’re aiming to add the new quests in an update for the test server a little later today, and we will post in the PTS forum as soon as that patch is available. We will also share instructions on how to begin those quests, as well as some key areas where we’re looking for your feedback. As a reminder, while there is no Non-Disclosure Agreement this time, we ask that you please warn others about story spoilers when discussing the quests outside of the PTS forum.
Thank you once again to all of you who have shared thoughts on C.A.M.P. Shelters with us. We’re still actively discussing everything you’ve posted so far (and admiring your awesome screenshots). Even though we’re now kicking off quest content playtesting, Shelters will remain available, so please keep the feedback and bug reports coming. We will see you in the PTS!
TREASURE HUNTER MOLE MINERS ARE BACK!
Last week, we shared details on the changes we’ve made to our “Hunt for the Treasure Hunter” events based on community feedback, and now the hunt is ready to begin! Starting a little later today, Treasure Hunter Mole Miners will breach the Wasteland’s surface to scour the land for riches. Seek them out in all regions of Appalachia, take down any Treasure Hunters you find, and then open the Mole Miner Pails they drop to claim some loot for yourself. You can also gather your Caps and take them to vendors around Appalachia to purchase Empty Mole Miner Pails. Use the Tinker’s workbench to turn them into full Mole Miner Pails and enjoy some on-demand loot. Catch the exact start and end times for the event below, and we hope you’ll join us to collect some Mole Miner Pails this weekend.
HUNT FOR THE TREASURE HUNTER DETAILS
- Event Start: 12:00 p.m. ET on October 15
