Private Worlds

Private Worlds have been among the most popular requests within the Fallout 76 community since launch, and we’re excited to announce that they have officially arrived today with Fallout 1^st.

• As a Fallout 1^st member, you gain access to an exclusive Private World that you can use to play alone or invite up to 7 of your friends to join you at any given time.
  • Only the owner of a Private World is required to be a Fallout 1^st member. As long as the owner is currently in their Private World, they can invite friends to join them.
  • If the owner leaves, the world will stay active as long as one other player in the world is a Fallout 1^st member.
  • If no Fallout 1^st members remain, all players in that Private World will receive a notification that the world will soon shut down.
• Private Worlds do not currently support mods and behave just like Adventure Mode as you know it today.

Scrapbox

• Hoard crafting components to your heart’s content with your own personal Scrapbox container.
  • The Scrapbox is a separate container from your Stash and offers unlimited storage space for all your components.
• The Scrapbox is exclusive to Fallout 1^st members and can be used in both public and private worlds.

Survival Tent

• Quickly set up a forward operating base during your next adventure in the wilderness with the new Survival Tent.
  • Once placed, the Survival Tent acts as a second free Fast Travel point, in addition your existing C.A.M.P.
  • The Survival Tent comes complete with a Stash, Scrapbox, Sleeping Bag, Cooking Station, and even an instrument to help you wind down after a day of exploring Appalachia.
• Like the Scrapbox, the Survival Tent is exclusive to Fallout 1^st members and can be used in both public and private worlds.

Monthly Atoms

• As a Fallout 1^st member, you’ll receive the best value for an Atom bundle to date, with a monthly bonus of 1,650 Atoms that you can use freely in the Atomic Shop.
• In addition to the bonus Atoms each month, you will also gain access to exclusive sales in the Atomic Shop.

Exclusive Cosmetics

• Explore Appalachia in iconic Fallout style with the Ranger Armor Outfit and show off your membership status with a set of unique Fallout 1^st Player Icons and Emotes, all of which are exclusively available to Fallout 1^st members.

New Seasonal Event: Mischief Night

Run wild through the Whitespring Resort during the new Mischief Night Seasonal Event, from 12:00 p.m. EDT on October 29 until 12:00 p.m. EST on November 5.

• Head to the Springhouse Gazebo at the Whitespring to meet JES-2R, an Eyebot who will take you on an action-packed tour of the resort during Mischief Night.
  • Join the celebration by blowing up cars, lighting bonfires, forking the lawns—or even get into the spirit of the season with a little trick-or-treating at the Whitespring’s cottages!
  • All that commotion is bound to attract some attention, so keep an eye out for the Whitespring Elite Security Force who may attempt to put an end to the festivities.
• Meet JES-2R’s mischief quotas and you’ll get some XP and loot, including a chance for new themed items, like costumes, jack-o-lanterns, and more.
  • Put on your favorite costume to earn double progress toward the event’s objectives and unlock exclusive themed rewards.
  • Costumes include many that you can find or craft in-game, those you’ve unlocked in the Atomic Shop, and even Fasnacht Masks.
• Mischief Night is a Public Event that will begin every hour on the hour during the week that it’s available. Read our Mischief Night Preview article on Fallout.com to catch even more details.

Atomic Shop

• Loot Bag Skins: Use these new cosmetic items to replace the appearance of your Paper Bags in Adventure Mode when you drop items manually or on death.
  • Any Loot Bag skins that are currently available will appear in the new Loot Bag tab in the “Skins” section of the Atomic Shop.
  • Highlight a Loot Bag skin that you’ve unlocked and then hit “Equip” to apply it to your “Drop Bag”, “Death Bag”, or both.
• Spooky New Tunes: Get into the Halloween spirit while you browse the Atomic Shop with some new seasonal music.

Design and Balance Updates

• Scorchbeasts: Now have a chance to spawn as Legendary.
• Vault 94 Rewards: Increased Ammo crafting and Aid item rewards for completing Vault 94 Missions.

  • Magazines: Weight reduced from 0.5 lb to 0.01 lb.
  • Teddy Bears: Weight reduced from 0.75 lb or 1 lb (depending on the bear) to 0.5 lb.

Quests and Events

• Public Events: The cooldown timer between the start of one Public Event to the start of the next has been significantly reduced.
  • Developer Note: We agree with community feedback that our initial implementation of the Public Event cooldown timer was too conservative. Since events vary greatly in length and difficulty, we cannot predict exactly how long this timer will last in all cases. However, you should notice Public Events starting around twice as often after today’s update.

User Interface

• Adjustable Menu Music: A new “Menu Music” slider has been added to the Sound settings menu, which can be adjusted to raise or lower the music volume on the Main Menu and in the Atomic Shop.

  • Rewards include Jack o’ Lantern and Bat themed weapon and armor paints, and Glowing Skeleton Outfit, so start racking up Overseer XP to claim them while they’re available.
  • The limited time Morgantown challenges, which awarded VTU-themed cosmetics, are no longer available following today’s update.
• A More Festive Vault 51: ZAX has made Vault 51 even more BOO!-tiful by scaring up lots of new creepy Halloween décor that Candidates can enjoy while waiting for a match to begin.
