The people in our community are the only ones who made it worth playing this game for the last 3 years, even with the doxxing, harassment, and toxic behavior from the ‘cheater’ community, thank you so much to all of you! I’ll still be around and playing other games! Follow me here and on my youtube!
Love, Always,

We’ve been hard at work making final preparations to reopen the Public Test Server (PTS) for our next major game update, “Invaders from Beyond”. In this edition of Inside the Vault, we’re sharing a look at upcoming features and improvements that will be available for playtesting in the Test Server. We’ve also got details on this weekend’s “Hunt for the Treasure Hunter” event.
A little later today, we’re planning to reopen the PTS so that you can share feedback with us on the “Invaders from Beyond” Update coming in March. We’re eager to hear your thoughts on an out-of-this-world new Seasonal Event, Fallout Worlds improvements, a new Public Event that’s planned for another update later this year, and more. Read on to catch additional details before you dive into playtesting.
Otherworldly interlopers are invading our skies and preying on our brainwaves! Every hour on the hour during this all-new Seasonal Event, an alien mothership will hover above a high-profile Appalachian location to deploy Brainwave Siphons. Disrupt their efforts by banding together with fellow humans to destroy any Siphons in the area and show the aliens who’s really the boss around these parts. When you do, you’ll have a chance to earn rare plans to craft new alien weaponry, as well as high-tech additions for your C.A.M.P.
We’ve also received reports that our curious visitors have been spotted at various Public Events, so be sure to keep your guard up as you adventure around Appalachia.
One of the top Fallout Worlds requests that we see from the community is for progress in Public and Custom Worlds to also count toward Adventure Mode. We’re pleased to let you know that, with the Invaders from Beyond Update, you will be able to continue your Season journey by earning S.C.O.R.E. from any non-repeatable Daily and Weekly Challenges you complete in Public and Custom Worlds.
Additionally, we’ve rustled up a variety of new settings for you to tinker with in Custom Worlds. Disable VATS versus other Dwellers, or turn it off entirely, make your enemies explode into a burst of confetti, allow C.A.M.P. objects to intersect with one another, and more!
Please note: “Test Your Metal” is slated for a future patch that will arrive after the Invaders from Beyond Update. However, we’ve included it in this PTS to begin gathering early community input. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
The Brotherhood of Steel recently learned that the Rust Eagles, an offshoot of the Blood Eagles, have been cobbling together a regiment of deadly combat bots from spare parts they’ve scavenged. Scribe Valdez sent a Field Team to investigate the threat these bots pose by competing against them in the Rust Eagle Arena. If they’re going to come out on top, they’ll need a little more firepower—and that’s where you come in. Gear up and help the “Gladiators of Steel” emerge victorious over the Rust Eagles’ robot army. The more Gladiators who survive the Arena, the higher your chances to earn rare rewards, like the new Raider Robot Armor plan.
Extraterrestrials may be arriving with our next patch, but they aren’t the only ones planning an invasion. Treasure Hunter Mole Miners are already digging their way up to the surface so they can plunder the Wasteland all weekend long. Track down Treasure Hunters in all regions of Appalachia and take them out to loot their Mole Miner Pails, which you can open to reclaim some of the riches they’ve scavenged. You can also visit your favorite Vendors to exchange Caps for Empty Mole Miner Pails. Take them to a Tinker’s Workbench to fill them up, and then open your freshly-crafted Mole Miner Pails to claim some more loot.
The Hunt for the Treasure Hunter event begins at 12:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, January 13, and it lasts until that same time on Monday, January 17.
Have a fantastic week, and until next time we’ll see you in Appalachia.
Welcome back to Inside the Vault! This week, we’re sharing a video highlighting some of the larger additions and improvements that arrived in the Night of the Moth Update, our most recent patch for Fallout 76. We’ve also wrangled together all of the Zorbo’s Revenge radio plays in case you missed them during the lead up to Season 7, and we’ve got details for you on the start of the Holiday Scorched event later this month.
We released our final update of the year for Fallout 76 earlier this week, which brought the new Mothman Equinox Seasonal Event to the game, kicked off Season 7, implemented a wide variety of quality-of-life and public event improvements, and applied a new wave of bug fixes. If you haven’t had the chance to keep up with what’s new in Appalachia, we’ve got you covered. Check out our video and the list of patch highlights below to get caught up to speed on the Night of the Moth Update.
If you’d like to learn even more about the Night of the Moth Update, you can read through the detailed patch notes by heading here. You can also visit the Seasons page on Fallout.com to preview all of the new rewards in Season 7, and catch developer insights on the Mothman Equinox event by watching our most recent Dev Dive video.
Season 7 has just begun with the arrival of the Night of the Moth Update, and we’ve been following along with Dr. Zorbo’s mission to enact revenge against Captain Cosmos in a series of audio dramas. In case you missed them, we’ve rounded up all six chapters in three videos below, so that you can listen in as Zorbo travels the universe to recruit a team that will help him obliterate Cosmos once and for all.
If you would like, you can also catch these and past radio plays in-game, along with new tunes and pre-war commercials, by tuning your Pip-Boy to the new Pirate Radio station that we added in our latest update.
The days are growing colder, Dwellers throughout Appalachia have begun adorning their homes with twinkling lights, and even the Scorched are prepping their most festive attire as we approach the holidays. Starting December 21, get into the spirit of the season by keeping an eye out for Santa-suited “Holiday Scorched,” and listening close for their jingling bells as you adventure around the Wasteland. Each one that you take down will drop a Holiday Gift, which you can open to get a few treats and a chance at rare loot, like new C.A.M.P. item plans. While you’re on the hunt for presents, keep in mind that Holiday Scorched spawn as legendary 1- to 3-star creatures, and they will only appear in exterior locations.
Additionally, don’t forget to visit your favorite vendor to pick up some wrapping paper in exchange for caps. You can bring your wrapping paper to a Tinker’s bench to craft Holiday Gifts of your own, and then open them to get even more loot. The Scorched plan to spread holiday cheer in Appalachia until January 4, so be sure to fill your stocking with goodies by then.
Join us again next week, because we’ll be taking a look back at all of the features and improvements that came to Fallout 76 over the course of this year. Until next time, we’ll see you in Appalachia.
