FALLOUT 76: INSIDE THE VAULT – FALLOUT 1ST LIMITED PREVIEW & WEEKEND ACTIVITIES (Re-Print From Bethesda)

We’ve got a brief update to share with you this week that includes details on our upcoming Fallout 1st Limited Preview, which will give all players the ability to try out a few Fallout 1st benefits for free for a little while. We’ve also got information on Double XP and Double Mutation Daily Ops, which are taking place in-game this weekend. Read on to learn more.

Starting next Tuesday, we’re kicking off a Fallout 1st Limited Preview, which will give all players the chance to take the Scrapbox and Survival Tent membership benefits for a test drive. All you will need to do is visit the Atomic Shop from November 9 – 15 to claim the Fallout 1st Limited Preview “item” for free, and then head to the Shop’s Fallout 1st page to unlock the Scrapbox.

Once you’ve joined a world, you can set up the Survival Tent as a forward operating base at a moment’s notice by opening the favorites menu, pressing the “Survival Tent” button, and finding a valid spot to build it. While the Survival Tent comes pre-loaded with a Scrapbox, you can also build one in your C.A.M.P. Find it in the build menu’s “Stash Boxes” tab, place it, and then begin storing crafting components to your hearts’ content. During the Limited Preview, you will also be able to unlock free items for your C.A.M.P., like the Mechanic’s Wallpaper and Floors, which will remain in your collection even after the preview is over.

If you would like, you can join Fallout 1st to retain access to the Survival Tent and continue adding scrap to your Scrapbox once the Limited Preview concludes. And don’t worry, you’ll still be able to remove scrap from the Scrapbox whenever you’d like—even if you decide not to become a member. Learn more about Fallout 1st and begin your membership by heading here on Fallout.com.


DOUBLE MUTATIONS, DOUBLE XP, DOUBLE THE FUN!

If you’re the type who likes to put your skills to the test then you’re in luck, because Double Mutation Daily Ops are returning! Starting a little later today, enemies in Daily Ops will begin sporting unique combinations of two Mutations, making them much deadlier than normal. If you are daring enough to take on these fearsome foes, you will also receive double the rolls on in-game currency rewards, and twice as many Legendary Cores, as well as double XP during your Daily Ops runs.

The excitement continues outside of Daily Ops with our latest Double XP weekend, which also begins today. Join a world in any game mode to level up like crazy by earning twice the usual experience from your exploits in Appalachia over the next few days.

Both events will last until November 8. Grab your gear and team up with a few friends to conquer some Double Mutation Daily Ops, and don’t forget to complete that repeatable “Gain XP” Challenge as often as you can to rank up and claim Scoreboard rewards more quickly over the next few days.


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

FALLOUT 76: INSIDE THE VAULT – HALLOWEEN EVENT UPDATES & MORE! (Re-Print from Bethesda)

Happy Halloween! This week, we’ve got some spine-chilling updates to share with you about our ongoing Spooky Scorched and trick-or-treating events. If you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, we’ve also got details about how you can get your hands on some sweet loot. Finally, we’ve included reminders about Public Test Server playtesting, as well as our latest Double S.C.O.R.E. weekend, which begins today. Read on to catch everything you need to know.


SPOOKY EVENT UPDATES

There’s an eerie feeling creeping over Appalachia as we draw near to the most haunting holiday of the year. Even the Spooky Scorched can feel it, and they’ve recently begun recruiting even more members into their ranks in anticipation of Halloween. Prepare to blast your way through lots more costumed Scorched, because we’re greatly increasing their spawn rate from 12:00 p.m. ET (16:00 UTC) on Saturday, October 30, until that same time on Monday, November 1. We hope you manage to fill up on plenty of sweet treats and grab some themed loot this Halloween weekend.

Last week, we had been hearing from the community that trick-or-treating Challenges to give out candy felt a bit difficult with everyone being so busy hunting Spooky Scorched and doing their own trick-or-treating. In case you missed it earlier this week, we’ve made a couple of changes to the trick-or-treating event based on your feedback. First, you now only need to give out one piece of Mystery Candy per day from your Spooky Candy Bowl in order to complete the Daily Challenge. In addition, we’ve decided to extend the entire Spooky Scorched event, including the trick-or-treating Challenges, by an extra week so that everyone has some more time to earn the Challenge rewards.

We hope you enjoy hunting down Spooky Scorched and trick-or-treating around Appalachia until 12:00 p.m. ET on November 9.

SPOOKY SCORCHED AND TRICK OR TREATING

76 Banner SpookyScorched Vampire Halloween2021 750x300

In case you missed it, the latest Fallout 76 patch brought a ghastly chill to the Wasteland with our Spooky Scorched and Trick-or-Treating events. Until November 2, you can hunt down costumed Scorched throughout Appalachia to loot Mystery Candy, Spooky Treat Bags, and of course, legendary items. Track down Scorched at some of their usual haunts, keep an ear out for their spine-tingling sounds, and you’re bound to find at least a few who are dressed up for Halloween.

In addition, C.A.M.P.s that feature a pumpkin icon on the map are welcoming sweet-toothed trick-or-treaters who are in search of some candy. Grab a costume and round up a few friends to do some trick-or-treating this year by collecting Mystery Candy from Spooky Candy Bowls at other Dwellers’ haunted houses. You can also invite trick-or-treaters to your C.A.M.P. by claiming a free Spooky Candy Bowl of your own from the Atomic Shop, and then filling it with Mystery Candy that you’ve collected from Spooky Scorched or train station vendors. Whenever you trick-or-treat or give out candy to trick-or-treaters, you’ll earn progress toward Halloween-themed Challenges, which you can complete to earn rewards until November 2.


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