The next major update for Fallout 76 is due out in a few days! Bethesda has announced that the Fallout 76 “Skyline Valley” update will be released on all platforms this June 12. Read on for details on the update’s content and what to expect.

Fallout 76 Skyline Valley Content Info:

In Skyline Valley, FO76 players will be able to explore a wholly new region showcasing the rolling hills of Shenandoah. The update will also feature a new storyline that introduces vault dwellers of Vault 63 and discover a shocking new Ghoul type, The Lost.

In this upcoming expansion, players will encounter a new enemy type, a supercharged Ghoul with electrifying weapons and armor and expose their mysterious origins. Through chasing storms in Dangerous Pastimes, a new Public Event, and battling a new Region Boss, the Storm Goliaths, it’s raining new content and stories to play with Fallout 76: Skyline Valley.

Players will also be able to purchase The Lost Treasures bundle for Skyline Valley as well.

Available at Skyline Valley’s launch, the Lost Treasures bundle includes the all-new Vault 63 Power Armor paint and jetpack. Also included is the V63 Chassis Display Frame for your power armor, a Moe the Mole Plushie and a Vault 63 Door Display for your C.A.M.P. Change the weather in your area with the Weather Control Station and, if you dare, stand out in a storm holding the Lightning Rod Pose and get zapped!

In addition to that, Bethesda has also confirmed that this title update on June 12 will also usher in Season 17! This confirmation was made by Bethesda employee “Ghostly_Rich” in the game’s subreddit.

FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS

Union Power Armor should now be craftable by players who have the recipe

Dev Note: PTS Players, we would like your assistance in testing our latest fix for the Union Power Armor crafting topic.

The armor should now be craftable for those who have bought and learned the recipe from Giuseppe. Please note that due to technical limitations, players who earned the armor plans from Season 10 will not be able to craft it on PTS.

When in the test server, you should see the recipes available from Giuseppe if you have not already learned them. After they are purchased, they will no longer be available. Additionally, the armor will no longer drop as loot, but they can be found via the random Power Armor Purchases from Murmrgh at The Rusty Pick. You should expect to only see Union Power Armor Pieces that you know how to craft drop from Purveyor’s Mystery Picks.

Union Power Armor pieces will still have the Atomic Symbol on them and cannot be traded or dropped by players once they have been obtained.

Powerhouse of the Cell: Players are now notified the serums cannot be injected while in Power Armor
Powerhouse of the Cell: Fixed an issue where the serums could not be injected in certain conditions
Powerhouse of the Cell: Hallucinations now vanish correctly when the effect ends
Oldest Trick in the Book: The “Kill Cultists Standing Guard” objective has been removed
An Unlikely Invitation: Minimum level requirement has been changed from 20 to 25, so newly emerging dwellers are not presented with the quest immediately
An Unlikely Invitation: Quest stages are no longer skipped if a player joins a team where the leader has made further progress
Seeking Shelter: Fixed timing issues with Audrey’s dialogue
Double-Crossed Wires & Oldest Trick in the Book: Fixed an issue where Hugo could be hard to find if partial progress was made on both quests.
Dangerous Pastimes: [Start Event] has been added to the dialogue interaction
Eye of the Storm: Fixed an issue where the boss battle could become soft locked
Neurological Warfare: Storm Goliath no longer spawns parts on the ground
Neurological Warfare: Fixed an issue where the Storm Goliath attacks were not triggering certain perks correctly
Fixed an issue where Margaret’s voice could be heard in various areas

Once the patch notes are out for Skyline Valley, we’ll be sure to let our readers know. Expect server downtime to be triggered a few hours during the day to roll out the update as well.
