Welcome back to Inside the Vault! This week, we’re sharing a look at what’s coming to Fallout 76 in 2021 with an all-new Roadmap. Once you’ve digested that, we have an upcoming developer AMA where you can ask all your burning Fallout 76 questions.

2021 ROADMAP!

FALLOUT 76: 2021 ROADMAP

Over the years we’ve made a lot of changes and additions to Fallout 76 to continually improve your experience, and 2021 is no different! We continue to build onto Fallout 76 and introduce all new ways to play! Here’s what to expect this year.

SPRING

Get Locked & Loaded with our Spring update! Introducing S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts, C.A.M.P. Slots, Mannequins, and an all-new Daily Ops expansion, this update is just loaded with new features to explore! For a deeper look at the new features, check out the Inside the Vault article here. Can’t wait to see these new features for yourself? Players who own Fallout 76 on the Bethesda.net launcher can test out all these new features and more in our current iteration of the PTS right now.
Additionally, we hope you haven’t packed away all your snow gear just yet as Armor Ace returns, this time in a fierce battle against battling against Commissioner Chaos and the Yukon Five! Season 4 brings all-new rewards to the Scoreboard, from cosmetics, to consumables and everything in-between.

SUMMER

Last year we met The Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel, witnessed a conflict between the ranks and discovered new obstacles in their path. Steel Reign concludes the story of The Brotherhood, introducing all new quests, locations, NPCs, and powerful new rewards. Whose side will you take? Your choices will change the Wasteland.
To survive the Wasteland, you need good gear! This summer, craft specific Legendary items using Legendary modules. Tailor your build to perfect your playstyle.

FALL

The winds of change are coming, and with it an evolution to Private Worlds! Stay tuned to future Inside the Vault articles for more information as we get closer to release.
We’re also bringing another expansion to Daily Ops to bring you even more ways to play.

WINTER

You’re already a legend in the Wasteland but are you truly legendary? Gear up with all new four-star Legendary Weapons and Armor! Then, after you’ve spent a long day out foraging in the Wasteland, come home to your very own C.A.M.P. Pet!

Face off against all new dangers with an all-new out-of-this-world event. Public Challenge: Invaders from Beyond will unite everyone across the server to complete challenges, face off against all-new foes and earn some stellar new rewards.

The Cultists of Appalachia are up to something sinister in a brand-new Seasonal event: The Ritual! Help the cultists in Point Pleasant prepare an exciting and dangerous ritual, and they’ll repay you with unique rewards.

INCOMING DEVELOPER AMA

With the introduction of our 2021 Roadmap, we’re sure you are just brimming with questions! Head on over to the Fallout 76 subreddit tomorrow, March 23rd at 11:30 a.m. EDT to participate in our second official AMA. We’ll have developers Jeff Gardiner (Project Lead), and Mark Tucker (Design Director) ready to answer your questions related to future content on Fallout 76.

Welcome back! In this edition of Inside that Vault, we’re sharing an update on our plans to reopen the Public Test Server (PTS), which will include new features from our next update for Fallout 76. We’ve also got a reminder about the start of “Caps-a-Plenty” this weekend, as well as a refresher on some community activities you can take part in during March. Read on for details.

AN UPDATE ON THE PUBLIC TEST SERVER

We know that some in the community have been eagerly waiting to get hands-on playtesting time with our next Fallout 76 update in the Public Test Server, and we can’t wait for you to dive in, either. We still need some more time to make sure everything is fully implemented, but we’re getting much closer, and are now planning to re-open the PTS in mid-March. Once we do, you will be able to try out upcoming features, like S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts, C.A.M.P. Slots, the new Daily Ops expansion, and much more.

We’d like to share a sincere “thank you” with everyone who has been patiently waiting for us to bring this update to the Test Server. We’ve been pushing toward getting the new features ready for you to check out. We’re putting a lot of hard work into some of our underlying systems behind those improvements, so it’s important to us that we get this right as we debut them in the PTS. So, we greatly appreciate your understanding while we wrap that up, especially after Mother Nature threw an icy curveball at the dev team in Austin late last month.

As always, if you own a PC copy of Fallout 76 through Bethesda.net, we’d love to have you join us in the PTS once it’s live. In case you’d like a refresher on the improvements you’ll be able to playtest, you can catch those details in our previous article on Fallout.com. Once you’ve had some time to try them out, be sure to visit us in the PTS forum to share your experiences and feedback.

CAPS-A-PLENTY WEEKEND

Calling all Wasteland scavengers! If your bags are getting heavy, but your pockets are feeling a little light, then you may want to stop by your local Vendor to top-up your Caps supply during our “Caps-A-Plenty” event. Starting today, you can visit Vendors throughout Appalachia to get up to 2,800 Caps per day by selling them your unwanted gear. Here are the full dates and times:

CAPS-A-PLENTY WEEKEND DETAILS

• Start: 12:00 p.m. ET on March 4
• End: 12:00 p.m. ET on March 8

MARCH COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES

For those of you who just can’t get enough Fallout, we’ve got a variety of activities that you can check out and take part in on a regular basis. Here’s the rundown on what’s in store for this month:

• Community Spotlight: Whether you’re a cosplayer, artist, photographer, in-game fight club owner, or anything else, the Fallout 76 community is brimming with players who contribute in their own unique ways. Each month, we highlight a community member who is doing something awesome by interviewing them. In this month’s Community Spotlight article, we’re featuring podcast host, mod, CAMP builder, and live streamer JessicaStar. Catch it on Fallout.com tomorrow, March 5.
• Around Appalachia: Fancy yourself a Photomode expert? Share your best snapshots with us, and you might get featured in our next Around Appalachia article on Fallout.com! This season’s theme is “Winter Silhouettes, and we’re excited to see what you come up with. Be sure to submit your photos for consideration by March 15.
• C.A.M.P. Creations: We challenge builders to construct creative new C.A.M.P.s around a different theme every month, and then share them with the community. Like Around Appalachia, we select a few of our favorites, and then feature them on Fallout.com. Last month’s theme was “Raiders,” and you can read the article here. The next theme is “Settlers,” and you can submit your Appalachian abodes here.
• Weekly Streams: Come chat with us! Tune in to Twitch.tv/Bethesda every Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. ET to join members of the Fallout 76 Community Team as they adventure in Appalachia and discuss all things Fallout 76.

Until next time, we’ll see you in Appalachia.
