Fallout 76 1.70 Patch Notes
SEASON 11: NUKA-WORLD
In Season 11: Nuka-World, players can explore a brand-new game board inspired by Nuka-World. First introduced in Fallout 4’s DLC of the same name, Nuka-World is all about celebrating Pre-War America’s number one carbonated beverage, Nuka-Cola!
Unlock Nuka-Cola and Nuka-World-themed souvenirs all Season long, including cosmetics, C.A.M.P. items, Atoms, Caps and more! Just rack up S.C.O.R.E. from playing Fallout 76 to earn rewards as you rank up.
WEAPON CHANGES
Players who tried out Nuka-World on Tour while it was on the Public Test Server are aware that we originally planned to release a new system that combats illegal attachment combinations to weapons that violate the EULA. We need a bit more time to implement this than originally projected, and as a resultwe will not be releasing this system with the Nuka-World on Tour update on Tuesday.
FREE-CAM EVENTS
Coming to Fallout 76 on December 6 is a brand-new quality-of-life feature that is sure to excite C.A.M.P. builders far and wide! While in Build Mode, players can toggle into Free-Cam to build and place objects in their C.A.M.P. without having to move their character. Free-cam allows you to pan through walls and reach ceilings to reach those hard-to-get places.
Starting December 6, we’re adding a new challenge event into the Atomic Shop. As with previous challenge events, you’ll see extra Daily and Weekly challenges to complete, this time while using free-cam, to earn rewards! After you complete two Weekly challenges, you will unlock the Holiday Building C.A.M.P. item to complete your festive Holiday Village!
Free-Cam Challenge Event Details:
- Event start:December 6 – 12:00 p.m. ET
- Event End:December 15 – 12:00 p.m. ET
The following changes were added recently.
What is new in Fallout 76 Season 8?
Added a new Scoreboard and an all-new suite of 100 rank-up rewards that include some of Vault-Tec’s finest equipment. There are a variety of new Daily Challenges to conquer this Season, as well as a fresh round of dramatic radio plays that you can tune into during your adventures.
In addition, the fine folks at Vault-Tec understand that, for those who choose to rank up with Atoms, purchasing each rank-up one-by-one can be a chore. They’ve engineered a solution that will help you purchase as many rank-ups as you would like, all in one go. Head to the Scoreboard once Season 8 is available, select the rank you want to reach, and then press the “Rank Up to Here” button. After confirming your decision, you will instantly progress to that rank on the Scoreboard, and will unlock all of the rewards between it and where you began.
A FRESH SET OF SEASON REWARDS
Whether you’re after amenities and décor for your C.A.M.P., new paints for your armor, weapons, or Power Armor, outfits, in-game currencies, or consumables, this Season’s got something for everyone. Make sure to pick up the Exercise Bike at Rank 5 and give it a spin to temporarily increase your Endurance. Don’t forget to build the Harmaceutical Chemistry Station to aid in crafting all of your latest experimental concoctions. You can also adorn your personal armory with Free States and Vault-Tec themed appearances for your weapons and armors, including the new Vault-Tec Hellcat Power Armor paint.
At Rank 25, you’ll also meet Sam Nguyen, a new Ally whose dual talents for engineering and musician ship have driven them to survive against all odds on the road to Appalachia. Speak with Sam to receive a “Tune-Up,” which will provide you with one of several temporary buffs, like increased Charisma, reduced Junk weight, or more effective weapon and armor repairs, among others.
Complete in-game activities to earn S.C.O.R.E. and advance your position on the game board. Challenges are given daily and weekly asking you to do everything from chewing bubblegum to killing creatures in a nuked zone.
Accumulate enough S.C.O.R.E. to rank up to level 100, or advance by spending 150 Atoms per level. Get Atoms now or earn them as a reward when you rank up during Season 8.
Get a new reward for your account each time you rank up, like a unique outfit or C.A.M.P. item, weapon skin or Power Armor paint, consumables, Perk Card Packs, and currencies.
