While the exact time on when the servers will be back hasn’t been revealed, the downtime usually lasts 2-4 hours unless something happens during the maintenance period. Expect the servers to be up around 12 pm ET/9 am PT/12 am HKT at the earliest, though a more realistic timeframe would be around 2 pm ET/11 am PT/2 am HKT.
The patch notes aren’t available yet, and once it is, we’ll provide a link to it in this article. In the meantime, go check out the trailer and some of the confirmed new stuff incoming!
Those who own the Season Pass, expect new items like the Blue Ridge Power Armor and Weapon Paints, the Rusted Power Armor and Weapon Paints, the Raider Lodge and even a Brewing Vat for making tasty brews in your C.A.M.P! There’s also the Stop Sign Paint for melee weapons, which lets you beat enemies with an actual “stop” sign!
Bethesda is also adding post-level 100 challenges that lets players over level 100 earn 300 S.C.O.R.E when they complete three Public Events.
If anything changes regarding the maintenance schedule, we’ll be sure to update the article with the info. We’ll also have the Atomic Shop Update available later today, and you can monitor that here.
