[h2]Update Version[/h2]
PC (Steam): 1.4.0.20 (27.5 GB)

[h2]One Wasteland[/h2]
With today’s update, we’re excited to introduce One Wasteland to Fallout 76, which allows creatures to dynamically adjust their levels up or down on the fly to more closely match each player they encounter.

• If multiple players all come across the same enemy at the same time, its level will simultaneously rise for the higher-level players and drop for the lower-level players.

In addition to their levels, each creature’s damage, health, and resistances, as well as the loot they drop and the XP they award, will also better match each player.

• This means that all players who are adventuring together can have an impact on any given combat encounter, even if there is a large level gap between them.
  
• While creatures will still have minimum and maximum levels, such as a max of level 50 in The Forest, they are now much more flexible overall.

One Wasteland opens up more opportunities to adventure anywhere in Appalachia, whether alone or with your friends. It also smooths out some of the early game bumps for new players, allows higher-level players to get max-level loot in previously lower-level regions, and should offer more consistent combat encounters for everyone.

[h2]New Season, Board, & Rewards[/h2]
Join Armor Ace and the Power Patrol in their march against the oppressive Subjugator and his army of Red Viper minions during Fallout 76 Season 2, which begins today!

• Season 2 brings the all-new “Armor Ace” S.C.O.R.E.board to the game, featuring 100 ranks for you to achieve during the next 10 weeks.
  
• We’ve added a host of rewards that you will unlock as you rank up, including new Power Armor paints, Armor and Weapon Skins, themed cosmetics, C.A.M.P. items, in-game currencies, Perk Card Packs, and more.

We’ve made several adjustments this Season that you may want to keep in mind as you dive in:

• Rank-ups will be purchasable immediately, so those who would like to rank up using Atoms can join the fight to crush the Red Vipers starting today.
  
• We’ve implemented some new Daily and Weekly Challenges, such as Daily Ops themed Challenges, to offer you even more day-to-day variety as you rank up.
  
• We’re also adding more Weeklies to the Challenge lineup so you have more flexibility to progress on your schedule.

Finally, we’ve made several of last Season’s rewards, like Lunchboxes, the Ammo Converter, available at Gold Bullion vendors so players who missed them have another opportunity to unlock them.
Head to the Seasons page on Fallout.com and read our recent Season 2 Preview article to get more information about Season 2, as well as a look at the rewards that will be up for grabs.

[h2]Daily Ops[/h2]
Put your skills to the test by taking on instanced, randomized, and repeatable encounters called “Daily Ops.” Daily Ops are fairly challenging, and so we recommend them for characters who are level 50+.
Our first Game Mode for Daily Ops is called “Uplink,” which will require you to secure a series of Uplinks to track down and destroy enemies that are threats to Appalachia.

• In Daily Ops, you’ll square off against enemies from a single faction who are affected by a unique “mutation,” which will make them deadlier and more challenging to take down.
  
• Complete your objectives, eliminate the enemy threat, and you will be rewarded for your efforts to make Appalachia a safe place for everyone.

To join a Daily Op, open the Map screen and find the new World Activity tracker we’ve added in the lower-left corner.

• Select a Daily Op from the list to learn more about it, including which location, enemies, and mutations you’ll face.
  
• Enter Daily Ops directly from the tracker by clicking the “Join” button.
  
• You can take on Daily Ops alone or in a team of up to four other players.

Each day, Daily Ops will feature a fresh combination of location, enemy faction, and enemy mutations to keep you on your toes.

• Locations: The Burrows, The Burning Mine, Valley Galleria, or Vault 94
  
• Enemy Factions: Super Mutants, Blood Eagles, or Robots
  
• Enemy Mutations:
  
•  Piercing Gaze: This mutation is always applied to enemies the “Uplink” Daily Ops mode, and gives them greatly enhanced perception of players.
  
•  Volatile: Enemies will explode on death
  
•  Active Camouflage: Enemies will be cloaked when not attacking
  
•  Resilient: Enemies can only be killed by a melee attack
  
•  Freezing Touch: Enemy attacks will freeze players

Since you will be facing constant combat and deadly threats during your Operations, we’ve reduced the condition damage taken by your weapons and armor by 50% while in a Daily Op.
Like the event “A Colossal Problem,” creatures in Daily Ops will drop ammo based on the weapons you’re using when you take them down. This will help keep your ammo reserves topped off through lots of combat.
You can repeat Daily Ops as often as you’d like each day, and you will receive a base set of rewards every time you complete one. However, there are three additional reward tiers that you can reach once per day by completing a Daily Op within certain time limits:

• Initiate Tier: 16 minutes or less
  
• Paladin Tier: 12 minutes or less
  
• Elder Tier: 8 minutes or less

The higher the tier you achieve, the higher your chances to get better rewards, including more XP, larger amounts of in-game currencies, legendary items, and even brand-new items like the War Glaive, which is a customizable two-handed melee weapon.
After finishing a Daily Op, you’ll be able to view an Operation Report, which shows you how fast you managed to complete it, which reward tiers you reached, and a list of the rewards you earned (except for XP and currencies).

[h2]Legendary Perks[/h2]
Legendary Perks are new high-level Perk Cards for players who have reached level 50+, which will help you add even more power and build diversity to your characters.
We’ve added a new “Legendary Perks” button to the top of the normal Perk Card Menu, which you can use to access and modify your Legendary Perk Slots and Cards.
You will unlock your first Legendary Perk Slot at level 50, and up to 6 slots in total at certain level milestones after that: 75, 100, 150, 200, and 300.

• If you already have high-level characters, they will immediately have access to one Legendary Perk Slot for each of the above milestones they've reached.
  
•  For example, a level 250 character will have access to 5 Legendary Perk slots, and will gain a 6th slot at level 300.
  
• One Legendary Perk Card can be equipped to each slot, and you can unequip them at any time in exchange for 1 Perk Coin (more on Perk Coins below).

Legendary Perk Slots are account-wide, and will be available to all of your characters as soon as you unlock them.

• Even your characters below level 50 will be able to equip Legendary Perks in these slots, which gives them access to more power at an earlier stage of the game than your higher-level characters had at that level.

With Legendary Perks, we’re introducing “Perk Coins,” which you can use to increase the power of your Legendary Perk Cards by upgrading them.

• Earn Perk Coins by scrapping your unused normal Perk Cards. Each Perk Card you scrap will grant you 2 Perk Coins per rank.
  
•  For example: When you scrap a rank 1 Perk Card, you’ll receive 2 Perk Coins, and scrapping a rank 3 Perk Card will award 6 Perk Coins.
  
• Each Legendary Perk Card can be upgraded up to three times, at a price of 50, 100, and 150 Perk Coins to reach ranks 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
  
•  While Legendary Perk Slots you’ve unlocked are account-wide, your Legendary Perk Selections and upgrades are separate for each of your characters.
  
• To help give your Perk Coin collection a boost, we’ve added a “Become Legendary” Challenge to the Character Challenge Menu, which awards 50 Perk Coins to characters who reach level 50.
  
•  Please note: If your characters are already level 50+, this Challenge will already be completed for them the next time you log in, and the 50 Perk Coin reward will be added to your Perk Coin total automatically.

[h2]Design Updates[/h2]
[h3]General[/h3]
- Fast Travel: It is now free to Fast Travel to Foundation and Crater.

[h3]Combat[/h3]
- Bonus Damage: We’ve changed the way that damage bonuses are calculated so that they now apply additively instead of multiplicatively.
-- Please Note: While stacking damage bonuses will now have a smaller overall effect on your damage output than before, these changes will make the resulting damage much more predictable and allow for future improvements. This is very important for the health of the game going forward. It will also create better opportunities for us to make smarter and more effective balance changes.
-- We are still evaluating feedback we gathered on these changes from the PTS, but we also welcome your thoughts on how different weapons and builds feel after today’s update so that we can make additional adjustments in the future.

[h3]Items[/h3]
- Alien Blaster: Damage increased by 30%.
- Legendary Weapons: The Assassin’s legendary attribute now applies its bonus damage to human NPCs.
- Secret Service Armor: Plans for Light and Ultra-Light Limb Mods for Secret Service Armor have been added, and they are now purchasable from Regs in Vault 79.
- Shishkebab: Now deals Fire damage instead of Energy damage.

[h3]Perks[/h3]
- Modern Renegade: Increased Modern Renegade's chance to cripple limbs from 2%/3%/4% to 4%/8%/12%.
- Tank Killer: Pistols now benefit from the Tank Killer Perk Card.

[h3]User Interface[/h3]
- Public Teams: We've renamed the "Building" team to "Casual" and removed the Casual team bonus. In its place, we’ve added a “Daily Ops” team type, which offers bonus XP for completing Daily Ops (+25% bonus XP to start, +100% bonus XP for a fully bonded team).
-- We did this in part because it is not possible to build in Public Teammates' C.A.M.P.s., and partly because most players were using the Building team the way we had intended Casual to be used anyway.
-- Removing the Casual team option, it made room for us to add the new Daily Ops team type, which we feel players will find more useful following today’s update.

[h3]World[/h3]
- Vault 94: Is now accessible during world exploration in Adventure Mode and Private Worlds.
- Vault 51: We've added a new no-C.A.M.P. zone around Vault 51's exterior in preparation for future content.

[h2]76 Seasons— Earn S.C.O.R.E., Rank Up, Claim Rewards![/h2]
Today’s patch adds the new 76 Seasons system to the game, which includes a new account-wide progression system that will overhaul our current Challenges and offer you lots of in-game rewards. Our first Season is called “The Legendary Run” and everyone can join in the fun and start earning rewards for free immediately following today’s patch maintenance.

We’ve highlighted how 76 Seasons and The Legendary Run will work below. If you’d like even more details, please check out our recent Inside the Vault article or visit the Seasons page on Fallout.com.

[h3]Race Among the Stars[/h3]

• We’ve added a new option on the Main Menu for The Legendary Run, which you can access to view the Season 1 progression screen, keep track of your progress, and preview all available rewards.
  
• The Legendary Run progression screen features a Captain Cosmos-inspired boardgame, in which you will race across the galaxy against the evil Dr. Zorbo.
  
• Your progression is represented as spaceship gamepiece on the board. Can you beat Dr. Zorbo to the finish line before the 10-week Season comes to an end?
  
• You will begin “The Legendary Run” at Rank 1, and you can advance your position on the board by earning S.C.O.R.E. through your Daily and Weekly Challenges. These include completing Public Events and leveling up your character.
  
• Every time you reach a new Rank, you will be able to claim a new reward, like unique armors, C.A.M.P. items, weapon skins, Power Armor paints, consumables, Perk Card Packs, Atoms—even in-game currencies, like Scrip, Caps, or Gold Bullion!
  
• There are 100 Ranks to achieve in total during Season 1, and more than 40 new cosmetic items up for grabs along the way.
  
• All players will play using the same progression and reward path, which means everyone is working towards the same rewards through the entire season.
  
• Starting two weeks after The Legendary Run begins, players will have the option to spend 150 Atoms to immediately unlock the next rank and claim its reward. Please note: Ranks must be purchased individually and in order.

[h3]Take on new Challenges[/h3]

• Daily and Weekly Challenges have received significant updates with today’s patch.
  
• Daily and Weekly Challenges now award S.C.O.R.E. instead of Atoms, and completing them is the primary way to progress during a Season.
  
• Nuclear Winter Daily and Weekly Challenges now award S.C.O.R.E. in addition to their other rewards.
  
• We’ve streamlined the Daily and Weekly Challenges you receive so that they are more straightforward and easier to complete.
  
• We’ve also changed the number of Challenges you receive on a daily and weekly basis so that they are more predictable and consistent.
  
• You can access your Daily and Weekly Challenges directly from The Legendary Run progression screen while you’re in a game world.
  
• If you would like to keep an eye on your progress toward specific Challenges, you can add them to the Challenge Tracker from the Challenge menu.
  
• Lifetime Challenges, like Character, Social, World Challenges, and etc., have not been changed. They still grant the same Atom rewards that they did prior to today’s update.

[h3]Claim Your Prizes[/h3]

• After ranking up, head back to The Legendary Run progression screen to claim your rewards directly from the corresponding Rank on the gameboard.
  
• When you unlock consumables, like Repair Kits, or in-game currencies, like Caps, they will only apply to one of your characters. Make sure to select the character that you want to receive the reward.
  
• Ranks are account bound and their rewards cannot be earned more than once per Season.
  
• Learn more about the rewards you can unlock during The Legendary Run, including Lunchbox consumables, the Ammo Converter, and more by visiting our recent Season 1 Kickoff article on Fallout.com.

[h2]Public Teams[/h2]
Our new Public Teams system makes grouping up with others easier than ever, and offers special bonuses to players who choose to play together toward a shared team goal.
[h3]Join a Public Team![/h3]

• We’ve added a new “Public Teams” tab to the top of the Social Menu that you can select to browse all Public Teams in your current world, join one, or create a team of your own.
  
• Every Public Team has its own Team Goal set by the Team Leader, like Exploration or Events, which can help you find like-minded players to join.
  
• Public Teams can have up to four members at once, so as long as there is an open spot you can click one of the teams in the list to join it immediately.
  
• You can also open the Map to see where current Public Teams are in Appalachia, and join them from there.
  
• Team Leaders display special icons showing their current goal, and you can click on them to view additional details before choosing to join the team.

[h3]Create Your Own Team[/h3]

• To start your own Public Team, hit the “Create New Team” button in the Public Teams tab in the Social Menu.
  
• Next, select a goal for your team. There are currently six to choose from: Hunting, Roleplay, Events, Exploration, Building, or Casual.
  
• Once you’ve selected a goal, all players in your current world will receive a notification that a new Public Team is available.
  
• Your Public Team notification will not appear to players you’ve blocked and vice versa.
  
• Multiple Public Teams of the same type can exist at once, so you can choose any Team Goal you wish.
  
• As the Team Leader, you can freely change your Team Goal at any time using the Social Menu.
  
• If needed, you also have the ability to kick or block any players from your Public Team.
  
• You can also invite your friends or other players to form a private team with you, and then convert it into a Public Team at a later time using the Social Menu. Please note: Teams formed from the game’s Main Menu or by direct invite will always begin as private teams.

[h3]Team Goals and Bonds[/h3]

• While on a Public Team, you will receive a small buff that’s themed to align with your current Team Goal.
  
• Over time, you and your new teammates will form Bonds, and each bonded teammate you have will add another stack to your Team Goal buff.
  
• Here are all of the current Team Goals and their associated bonuses:
  - Hunting – Bonus: +25% XP for Legendary Kills (100% for a fully bonded team)
  - Roleplay – Bonus: +1 Charisma (+4 for a fully bonded team)
  - Events – Bonus: +25% XP for completing Events (100% for a fully bonded team)
  - Exploration – Bonus: +1 Endurance (+4 for a fully bonded team)
  - Building – Bonus: +1 Intelligence (+4 for a fully bonded team)
  - Casual – Bonus: +1 Luck (+4 for a fully bonded team)

While you are on a Public Team, there are a few additional things you may wish to keep in mind:

• Your teammates will likely be focused on their current Team Goal. Be sure to join a team that matches your interests, or create a team of your own if you don’t find the type of team you are looking for in your world.
  
• You and your teammates will not be able to build in each other’s C.A.M.P.s. However, you can still do this by forming or joining a normal “private” team.
  
• You also cannot open locked doors or containers that your Public Teammates have built without becoming Wanted.
  Catch additional information about this system by reading our recent Public Teams Overview article on Fallout.com.

[h3]Design Updates[/h3]

• Team PVP: we’ve adjusted the rules of team PVP for both private and Public Teams so that a team member who engages in PVP with an outside player no longer also flags their teammates for PVP.
  - Instead, teammates must start PVP combat with the outside player individually to join the fight.
  - This will help prevent players from being dragged into PVP combat that they didn’t initiate.

[h3]Sound[/h3]

• Music: We’ve added some out-of-this-world tunes to the Atomic Shop to delight your ears during The Legendary Run.

[h3]User Interface[/h3]

• Icons: Based on community feedback, we’ve added a unique Mole Miner-themed icon to the Map and in the Compass to better indicate the Purveyor’s location.
  
• Map: Teammate markers on the Map have been enlarged and animated to make them easier to identify. Additionally, teammate names and player icons now only appear on your Map when you hover over their Map markers.
  
• Settings: The Chat Volume audio setting is now completely independent of the Master Volume setting.
  - This should improve cases where players were having trouble hearing others over voice chat. Master Volume will continue to affect other volume settings, but adjusting it will no longer change your Chat Volume.

[h3]Customize Your Allies[/h3]
Starting today, you can now share your wardrobe with your Allies and swap their outfits to your heart’s content with Ally Customization.

• When interacting with an Ally in your C.A.M.P., a new “customize” option will now appear that you can use to change their clothing.
  
• --> Outfits, Headwear, Costumes, Armor—If you can wear it, then so can your Ally! The only current exceptions are Power Armor and Weapons.
  
• --> Anything you dress your Ally in is purely cosmetic. They will not receive any buffs or bonuses from the apparel they wear.
  
• Additionally, when viewing another player’s Ally, its name will be adjusted to include the name of the C.A.M.P. owner, e.g.: ’s Ally.
  
• Please note that scrapping an Ally Station will revert that Ally to their default outfit. Allies will also appear to be in their default outfit if they are in an instance with you.
  

[h3]Hunt for the Treasure Hunter[/h3]
Mole Miners are searching for riches around Appalachia, and you can hunt them down to claim their loot for yourself in a new series of limited-time “Hunt for the Treasure Hunter” events we’re introducing with Update 19.
Treasure Hunter Mole Miners

• Use your keen tracking senses to hunt down Treasure Hunter Mole Miners to collect their Mole Miner Pails, which contain all of the loot they’ve been hoarding.
  
• --> Treasure Hunter Mole Miners are legendary creatures, and you will hear them when they’re nearby.
  
• Treasure Hunter Mole Miners can drop rewards from one of three different tiers: Dusty Mole Miner Pails (low), Mole Miner Pails (medium), and Ornate Mole Miner Pails (high).
  
• --> The higher quality the Pail, the better chances for rare loot, including Outfits, Mounted Head Plans, a new Backpack Plan, and the Marine Armor Helmet Plan.
  
• --> Pails can be traded and sold to other players, but cannot be sold to NPC vendors.
  

Craft Your Own Mole Miner Pails

• While a Treasure Hunter event is live, Vendors around Appalachia will sell Empty Mole Miner Pails in exchange for Caps.
  
• --> Use Empty Pails, along with a few additional materials, to craft full Mole Miner Pails of low, medium, or high-quality.
  
• --> You can give or sell crafted Pails to other players, or keep them for yourself.
  

[h3]Head to the Ash Heap on May 21![/h3]

• The first Hunt for the Treasure Hunter event will take place from May 21 – 25 in the Ash Heap region of Appalachia.
  
• Future Hunt for the Treasure Hunter events will each occur in a different region.
  

[h3]Fasnacht Parade Marches Back to Helvetia[/h3]

• Starting next week, you can travel to Helvetia to take part in the Fasnacht Seasonal Event by helping the local Protectrons prepare for the town's annual celebration and parade.
  
• --> Help the bots by hanging decorations, gathering ingredients for a feast, or playing musical instruments, among other activities, before the timer expires.
  
• --> If you and your event mates complete the preparations in time, the bots will line up at the center of town to begin the parade.
  
• Successfully guide the marchers to the end of their parade route, and you will be rewarded with loot!
  
• --> The more marchers who survive, the higher your chances at rare loot, which may include Fasnacht-themed C.A.M.P. plans and a chance to earn a fancy Fasnacht mask.
  
• --> We’ve added a number of festive new masks this year, and adjusted their drop rates following community feedback. While some are still less common than others, they should drop more often this time.
  
• --> You can also trade your Fasnacht Masks to other players, if you wish.
  
• Fasnacht Parade will begin every hour at the top of the hour starting on May 25. The event will last for a full week, so you'll have plenty of chances join in the celebration!
  

[h3]Design Updates[/h3]
Automatic Item Name Improvements
With this update, we’ve improved how the game automatically names your weapons and armors based on their mods, legendary attributes, and Atomic Shop paints.

• Going forward, automatically generated names will appear in a much more consistent order, and they will reliably include an item’s main attributes.
  
• Additionally, Atomic Shop paint and skin names no longer overwrite the item’s primary legendary effect name.
  
• Items should now generally follow this naming convention: Primary Legendary Attribute Name + Atomic Shop Cosmetic Name + Mod Name + Weapon Name
  
• If you have a legendary Gatling Gun with the Black Knight paint and a Prime Receiver, for example, its automatically generated name should now be: Anti-Armor Black Knight Prime Gatling Gun
  
• Keep in mind that you can still give your items custom names, which will override their automatically generated names.
  
• Please note: Given the many combinations that are possible through all the different mods, legendary effects, Atomic Shop paints, and item types, there may cases where new item names appear incorrect.
  
• For example, certain elements may appear out of order, or might be missing from the name.
  
• These are visual issues, and all your mods should still function correctly. Please let us know if you spot any naming bugs on your gear after today, and we will squash them.
  

Backpack Appearance Updates
We’ve improved Backpack customization so that you can now apply different appearances to your

• Backpacks as skins—no more crafting required!

[h3]Items[/h3]

• Liberty Prime Power Armor: If you’re a strong silent type, you may be pleased to know that we’ve added an alternate version of the Liberty Prime Power Armor helmet that will not play voice lines while you’re wearing it.
  
• Players who own the Liberty Prime Power Armor can now craft the silent version of the helmet at a Power Armor Station.

Limited Time “Survivors” Challenges – Unlock Themed Cosmetics!
