Check out more details below.

What is new in Fallout 76 1.56 Patch Notes?

Raid your closet for a cape, a mask, and anything you can find that’s made from spandex, because in Fallout 76 Season 6 you’re going to team up with The Unstoppables on their latest adventure! The villainous SamurEye, Pyramind, and Catarax have grown tired of our heroes shutting down their individual plots and plans over the years. Now, they’ve joined forces to become The Diabolicals, and they’re on a mission to put a stop to The Unstoppables once and for all. Achieve 100 rank-ups (and beyond!) on the all-new “The Unstoppables VS. The Diabolicals” Scoreboard this Season. As you do, you’ll be able to claim lots of new rewards and aid The Inspector, Silver Shroud, Mistress of Mystery, Manta Man, and Grognak the Barbarian as they foil the Diabolicals’ criminal schemes.

NEW REWARDS AND CHALLENGES

The latest FO76 update 1.56 added like the new Allies, SamurEye Power Armor, Unstoppables outfits, weapon skins, and other cosmetics, and new CAMP items, among many others.

As you progress on the Scoreboard, you’ll be able to claim a reward each time you reach a new rank, such as consumable items, in-game currencies, Legendary Cores and Modules, weapon skins, C.A.M.P. objects, lots of Unstoppables themed cosmetics, and much more! With Season 5, we introduced the ability to continue your Season journey well beyond the previous rank 100 maximum, and Season 6 will do the same. You’ll continue earning rewards for every rank you hit past 100, which includes Perk Card Packs, Legendary Crafting components, consumables, and Atoms.

If you’re going to be fighting crime alongside The Unstoppables this Season, you’re also going to need to look the part! We’re adding new Daily and Weekly Challenges to the Season lineup that will ask you to take down creatures or complete events while in costume, or while dressed as a member of The Unstoppables. Don’t worry if your wardrobe is currently lacking in the costume department, the Unstoppables and sidekick themed items you can earn as you rank up will help you progress these Challenges.

MEET DAPHNE AND MAUL

Season 6 also brings two new Allies to the game in Daphne and Maul, and you will be able to unlock them by reaching ranks 25 and 50, respectively. They won’t send you on quests, but they will keep you company in your C.A.M.P., sell you some of the items they’ve managed to scavenge, and give you a buff once per day.

• Daphne– By day, Daphne is a child of the Wasteland. At night, she transforms into her alter ego, The Inspector! In exchange for some Caps, she’ll sell you toys, snacks, and drinks. She’ll also offer two different buffs, depending on what time of day you speak with her. During the day, Daphne will grant you some bonus Luck and the ability to identify magazines and comics more easily. As The Inspector, she’ll cast a spell to increase your Perception, help you find more food from containers, and extra caps from caps stashes.
• Maul– As soon as you meet Maul, you’ll quickly realize that this talkative Super Mutant is obsessed with his hero, Grognak. Speak with Maul each day to earn his trust and learn more about him. You will be able to buy various types of meat and meat-themed plans from him, and the buff he has to share will improve your Strength, increase your rad resistance, and make your melee weapons feel lighter in your hands.

SEASON 5 EXTENDED TWO WEEKS

We’ve discovered an issue affecting Season 5 rank-ups, where players in some cases are unable to claim the rewards for ranks they purchased using Atoms. This does not affect rank-ups achieved by earning S.C.O.R.E., but we are working hard to get this fixed up as soon as possible so that all players can enjoy the rewards they’ve earned.

As a result, we have extended Season 5 by two weeks, until September 21.During the first week, rank-up purchases using Atoms will be disabled while we work to resolve the underlying issue, and you can continue to rank-up by earning S.C.O.R.E. from Daily and Weekly Challenges. During the second week, we will release our fix and re-enable rank-up purchases so that everyone has plenty of time to claim any rewards they unlocked during this two week period.

We know that many players in the community are excited to kick off Season 6, and we are too. However, we want to make sure all players can access their Season 5 rewards before we roll into the new Season. Thank you very much, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

INTRODUCING: FALLOUT WORLDS

With this update for Fallout 76, we’re introducing Fallout Worlds, which offers players the ability to experience the game in unique new ways with two new game modes: Public Worlds and Custom Worlds.

PUBLIC WORLDS

• The new Public Worlds mode will help you shake up your normal gameplay by offering special worlds that have a pre-selected group of Fallout Worlds settings enabled, fit to a theme.
  • All players can join Public Worldsto dive into an Appalachia that’s wildly different from Adventure Mode.
• One Public World will be available to players at a time. Currently, we are planning to rotate Public Worlds once per month so that you can regularly try out a variety of different experiences. However, rotation frequency may change in the future based on community feedback and other factors.
• Here are the first five Public Worlds that you will be able to check out in-game. As voted on by our Public Test Server participants, we’re starting with “Happy Builder,” and will rotate through the rest in the following order:
  • Happy Builder:Reduced C.A.M.P. placement restrictions, relaxed building restrictions, all Map locations discovered, and PvP has been disabled.
  • High Risk:No Fast Travel, always-on PVP, players drop additional loot on death, free workbench crafting, and legendary item attributes have been disabled.
  • Dweller Must Die:Greatly increased enemy difficulty, increased damage, increased equipment durability, and “Dark Bog” weather effects.
  • Quantum World:Max jump height, no fall damage, nuked creatures and flora, and “Quantum Storm” weather.
  • Butcher’s Delight:Infinite ammo, no VATS or melee attack AP costs, and enhanced dismemberment.

CUSTOM WORLDS

• Players with active Fallout 1st memberships can now choose the Custom Worlds option from the Play menu to create a new type of world where they can adjust a wide variety of different settings to create an Appalachia that’s tailored to their liking.
  • To create a Custom World, click “Play” from the Main Menu, select Custom World, hit “Select World Template,” and then start tinkering with settings you’d like to try out.
  • Up to seven friends can join you in your Custom World, for a total of eight players per World.
  • Please Note:Private Worlds mode has been renamed to “Private Adventure” with today’s update to better differentiate it from Custom Worlds mode.
• While creating your Custom World, you can choose among a broad array of customization settings and let your imagination run wild with the possibilities! Here are some of the options at your disposal:
  • Workshop:Build in previously restricted areas, disable the need for electricity, increase your C.A.M.P. budget and build height, relax building restrictions, and more.
  • Combat:Infinite enemy spawns, alter PvP rules, adjust enemy difficulty, give yourself infinite ammo, change item durability, and more.
  • General:Disable Fast Travel or make it free. Choose special weather effects, including Radstorms and Nuke Zones, as well as new weather effects, like Quantum Storm and Dark Bog. Add filters for a unique view of Appalachia, adjust jump height, fall damage, or even the consequences on death.
  • Please note:Some Custom World settingsmay impact your game client’s performance.However, you are still free to use them, and can always enable or disable them again as needed.
• Currently, you can save a Custom World you’ve created in one of three available slots, and you can select one of them to set it as your active Custom World.
  • You can edit your Custom Worlds after you’ve finished creating them, so even if you’ve filled all three Custom World slots, you can still change them up as needed.
• If you are a Fallout 1st member and you have played in a friend’s Custom World previously, you will be able to log into it — even if the World owner is offline.
  • To do this, select Custom Worlds from the Play menu, click “View Worlds,” select your friend’s World from the “Shared World” section and set it to “Active.” You can then play in that World by selecting Custom Worlds from the Play menu.
• If you are not currently an active Fallout 1st member, don’t worry. You can still join your friends who are Fallout 1st members in the Custom Worlds that they’ve set up while they are online.

CHARACTER PROGRESSION

• The progress each of your characters make in Public or Custom Worlds is specific to those worlds, and is completely separate from Adventure Mode.
  • You can clone your Adventure Mode character for use in a Public or Custom World at any time, and you can have up to 5 Fallout World characters at a time.
  • If you have reached your 5 character limit, characters can be manually unlinked from Public or Custom worlds at any time.
  • Your character progress in a Public World will remain available as long as that Public World is still available for play.
• Additionally, please note that Challenges cannot be completed, and you will not earn S.C.O.R.E., achievements, or trophies while playing in a Public or Custom World.
