The heavy doorways of post-apocalyptic West Virginia are lastly chu-chunking open, like rusty flowers waking as much as the nuclear spring. Vault 94 has joined Fallout 76’s titular vault, opening itself to the oddball Appalachians and asking them to analyze what went mistaken down there within the plant-choked bunker.
I just like the theme of it quite a bit: the dwellers had been pacifists, tending to a seed stockpile that was meant to restock the world of its flora, and coming into the vault is like getting into an arboretum of dying. No survivors, solely crops. There are three missions down there (Dead within the Water, Meltdown, and Washout), although just one is reside throughout any given week, so that you and your chosen buddies (teams cap out at 4) have seven days to excellent the run. Each mission has a problem stage, with Novice being untimed, and each Standard and Expert including the strain of time and elevated issue. Bethesda advocate you be stage 50 and over earlier than tuning into the radio sign that may lead you to the raid.
The dungeon is instanced, so that you received’t be interrupted by different scavengers. I’m a bit unhappy about this. FO76 is a quiet place, however one of many joys is bumping into randoms in buildings, or watching the chaos erupt between gamers and beasts as you attempt to sneak previous. I’ll miss that once I’m down there going by way of the bins.
Rewards embrace some overgrown the Strangler Heart Power Armour plans, which I’d by no means put on as a result of I’ve a Nuka-Girl Rocketsuit and it could wreck the traces.
The patch has a couple of different additions, however most attention-grabbing is the brand new show instances. I solely acquired into adorning late into my run, once I found the cat posters, however the brand new instances will allow you to indicate off your favourite toys.
I spent a superb chunk of November and December in Appalachia with a good friend. A number of years in the past, we performed Fallout four alongside one another, chatting as we wandered the wastes. Fallout 76 gave us a grand outdated time, although we had been the one folks we knew who had been enjoying it. So I’m making room on my hard-drive for one more jaunt this week, to see if it nonetheless grips the pair of us.
