[h2]Season 5 Extended Two Weeks[/h2]
We've discovered an issue affecting Season 5 rank-ups, where players in some cases are unable to claim the rewards for ranks they purchased using Atoms. This does not affect rank-ups achieved by earning S.C.O.R.E., but we are working hard to get this fixed up as soon as possible so that all players can enjoy the rewards they've earned.
As a result, we have extended Season 5 by two weeks, until September 21. During the first week, rank-up purchases using Atoms will be disabled while we work to resolve the underlying issue, and you can continue to rank-up by earning S.C.O.R.E. from Daily and Weekly Challenges. During the second week, we will release our fix and re-enable rank-up purchases so that everyone has plenty of time to claim any rewards they unlocked during this two week period.
We know that many players in the community are excited to kick off Season 6, and we are too. However, we want to make sure all players can access their Season 5 rewards before we roll into the new Season. Thank you very much, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
[h2]Introducing: Fallout Worlds[/h2]
With this update for Fallout 76, we’re introducing Fallout Worlds, which offers players the ability to experience the game in unique new ways with two new game modes: Public Worlds and Custom Worlds.
---
[h3]Public Worlds[/h3]
The new Public Worlds mode will help you shake up your normal gameplay by offering special worlds that have a pre-selected group of Fallout Worlds settings enabled, fit to a theme. All players can join Public Worlds to dive into an Appalachia that’s wildly different from Adventure Mode.
One Public World will be available to players at a time. Currently, we are planning to rotate Public Worlds once per month so that you can regularly try out a variety of different experiences. However, rotation frequency may change in the future based on community feedback and other factors.
Here are the first five Public Worlds that you will be able to check out in-game. As voted on by our Public Test Server participants, we’re starting with “Happy Builder,” and will rotate through the rest in the following order:

• Happy Builder: Reduced C.A.M.P. placement restrictions, relaxed building restrictions, all Map locations discovered, and PvP has been disabled.
  
• High Risk: No Fast Travel, always-on PVP, players drop additional loot on death, free workbench crafting, and legendary item attributes have been disabled.
  
• Dweller Must Die: Greatly increased enemy difficulty, increased damage, increased equipment durability, and “Dark Bog” weather effects.
  
• Quantum World: Max jump height, no fall damage, nuked creatures and flora, and “Quantum Storm” weather.
  
• Butcher’s Delight: Infinite ammo, no VATS or melee attack AP costs, and enhanced dismemberment.

[h3]Custom Worlds[/h3]
Players with active Fallout 1st memberships can now choose the Custom Worlds option from the Play menu to create a new type of world where they can adjust a wide variety of different settings to create an Appalachia that’s tailored to their liking.

• To create a Custom World, click “Play” from the Main Menu, select Custom World, hit “Select World Template,” and then start tinkering with settings you’d like to try out.
  
• Up to seven friends can join you in your Custom World, for a total of eight players per World.
  
• Please Note: Private Worlds mode has been renamed to “Private Adventure” with today’s update to better differentiate it from Custom Worlds mode.

While creating your Custom World, you can choose among a broad array of customization settings and let your imagination run wild with the possibilities! Here are some of the options at your disposal:

• Workshop: Build in previously restricted areas, disable the need for electricity, increase your C.A.M.P. budget and build height, relax building restrictions, and more.
  
• Combat: Infinite enemy spawns, alter PvP rules, adjust enemy difficulty, give yourself infinite ammo, change item durability, and more.
  
• General: Disable Fast Travel or make it free. Choose special weather effects, including Radstorms and Nuke Zones, as well as new weather effects, like Quantum Storm and Dark Bog. Add filters for a unique view of Appalachia, adjust jump height, fall damage, or even the consequences on death.
  
• Please note: Some Custom World settings may impact your game client’s performance. However, you are still free to use them, and can always enable or disable them again as needed.

Currently, you can save a Custom World you’ve created in one of three available slots, and you can select one of them to set it as your active Custom World.

• You can edit your Custom Worlds after you’ve finished creating them, so even if you’ve filled all three Custom World slots, you can still change them up as needed.

If you are a Fallout 1st member and you have played in a friend’s Custom World previously, you will be able to log into it — even if the World owner is offline.

• To do this, select Custom Worlds from the Play menu, click “View Worlds,” select your friend’s World from the “Shared World” section and set it to “Active.” You can then play in that World by selecting Custom Worlds from the Play menu.

If you are not currently an active Fallout 1st member, don’t worry. You can still join your friends who are Fallout 1st members in the Custom Worlds that they’ve set up while they are online.
[h3]Character Progression[/h3]
The progress each of your characters make in Public or Custom Worlds is specific to those worlds, and is completely separate from Adventure Mode.

• You can clone your Adventure Mode character for use in a Public or Custom World at any time, and you can have up to 5 Fallout World characters at a time.
  
• If you have reached your 5 character limit, characters can be manually unlinked from Public or Custom worlds at any time.
  
• Your character progress in a Public World will remain available as long as that Public World is still available for play.

Additionally, please note that Challenges cannot be completed, and you will not earn S.C.O.R.E. while playing in a Public or Custom World.

[h3]Double Mutation Weekend Events[/h3]
During Double Mutation weekends, Daily Ops will be randomized each day with enemies who have one of eight unique combinations of two different Mutations.

• Mutations: “Volatile” enemy explosion damage has been adjusted, and now does health percentage-based damage that can be partially mitigated by anti-explosion effects.

[h2]Nuclear Winter Mode Rewards[/h2]
With the arrival of today’s update, we have removed the Nuclear Winter game mode from Fallout 76. Alongside this change, we’re granting rewards to all players who had completed at least one Nuclear Winter match, and making many of the mode’s progression rewards available in Adventure Mode.

Perk Coins: With today’s update, we’re granting Perk Coins to players based on their progression in Nuclear Winter Mode so that you can give your Legendary Perk Card collection a boost.

• You will also get 1 Perk Coin per Overseer Ticket you earned.
  
• These Perk Coins have already been added to your account, and will be available to you as soon as you log in.

[h2]Steel Reign Questline[/h2]
This update brings all-new quests to Fallout 76 with the Steel Reign questline, which picks up right where you left off with the Brotherhood of Steel at the end of Steel Dawn.

With this update, we’re implementing the Legendary Crafting system, which you can use to turn normal items into legendary items, re-roll your existing legendary items’ attributes, and even upgrade or downgrade their star-ratings.

• Using a new crafting component, called Legendary Cores, along with a few Legendary Modules, you can now craft “Legendary Upgrades” for your items.
  
• Visit Weapon and Armor Workbenches, and then open the Modify menu to get started with Legendary Crafting.
  
• You can earn Legendary Cores as rewards by completing Seasonal Events, Public Events, and Daily Ops.
  
• As always, Legendary Modules are available from Purveyor Murmrgh in exchange for some Legendary Scrips.

You can craft 1-, 2-, and 3-star Legendary Upgrades for your gear, and the materials required to craft them increase based on the Legendary Upgrade tier you choose.

• Applying a Legendary Upgrade to a normal item will turn it into a legendary version of that item, with 1, 2, or 3 randomly assigned legendary attributes, depending on the tier of Legendary Upgrade you applied.
  
• Applying a Legendary Upgrade to an existing Legendary Item can increase or decrease the number of legendary attributes that item has, again depending on the tier of Legendary Upgrade you apply. Here are examples of each option:
  
• Upgrade: Modding a 1-star item with a 3-star Legendary Upgrade will turn it into a 3-star version of that item with 3 random attributes.
  
• Downgrade: Modding a 3-star item with a 2-star Legendary Upgrade will result in a 2-star version of that item with 2 random attributes.
  
• Re-roll: Modding a 3-star item with a 3-star Legendary Upgrade replace all 3 of the existing item’s attributes and apply 3 news ones at random.

[h2]Legendary Power Armor[/h2]
In addition to weapons and normal armor, Legendary Crafting can also be used to create pieces of Legendary Power Armor.
Like weapons and armor, Legendary Power Armor pieces can also be upgraded, downgraded, and re-rolled.
Visit any Power Armor Station and modify your favorite set of Power Armor to apply some Legendary Upgrades.
The vast majority of Legendary attributes that are available to normal armor can also be applied to Power Armor, with the following exceptions:
[h3]1-Star[/h3]

• Auto-Revive: Chance to revive using a Stimpak

[h3]3-Star[/h3]

[h2]Legendary Balance Changes[/h2]
Alongside the arrival of Legendary Crafting, we’ve also revisited our lineup of Legendary Attributes to add some new ones, and give a tune-up to a few that already existed. Give some of the new and updated Legendary Attributes a test run using your existing items, or by making them using the Legendary Crafting system.

[h2]S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts[/h2]

• S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts offer even more adaptability to your characters in the face of the Wasteland’s ever-growing threats by allowing you to modify or completely reboot your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attributes for free.
  
• Visit a “Punch Card Machine” at any time to adjust your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. to your heart’s content, change your Perk Card selections, and save your new custom setup into a slot.
  o Your characters will gain access to S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts starting at level 25.
  o Currently, each character can have up to two S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadout slots, and you can swap between them using a Punch Card Machine.
  o In addition, you can rename your Loadout slots, which will help you quickly tell them apart.
  
• At level 25, you’ll learn the plan to build a Punch Card Machine in your C.A.M.P. so that you can change up your Loadouts whenever you head home.
  o While in your C.A.M.P, open up the Build menu, navigate to the Crafting tab, select the Punch Card Machine, and place it down.
  o We’ve also placed Punch Card Machines at Train Stations throughout Appalachia, in The Crater, and at Foundation.
  o You can use any Punch Card Machines you find in other players’ C.A.M.P.s, as well.
  
• We’ve removed the “Move-a-Point” option on the level-up screen, since S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts allow you to change your stats much more easily.

If you would like to learn even more about S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts, you can head here to watch our recent Dev Dive video or read our article on Fallout.com.

[h2]C.A.M.P. Slots[/h2]
Have you ever found the perfect spot to start building a new Appalachian home, but you just couldn’t bring yourself to tear down your current C.A.M.P.? That difficult decision is a thing of the past with C.A.M.P. Slots, which allow you to build and maintain two C.A.M.P.s at once!

• Each C.A.M.P. you construct is now saved as a C.A.M.P. Slot, which you can access and manage through the new “C.A.M.P. Slots” menu in the upper-left corner of the Map.
  o Currently, each of your characters will have access to two C.A.M.P. Slots: The C.A.M.P. you already have in-game, plus an additional Slot.
  o You can use the C.A.M.P. Slots menu to see all your current C.A.M.P. Slots, rename them, choose their Map icons, and decide whether your C.A.M.P. is visible to other players on the Map. C.A.M.P. names are only visible to the player who built them.
• You can have one active C.A.M.P. at a time, and all others will be considered “stored.”
  o Your active C.A.M.P.’s Map icon will appear gold to you. If you enable your active C.A.M.P.’s Public Map Icon, it will appear on the map in white to other players. When the Public Map Icon is disabled, only you will be able to see it. Only you will be able to see the icons for your stored C.A.M.P.s.
  o To change which C.A.M.P. you would like to use, head to the Map to click one of your C.A.M.P.s, or select it in the C.A.M.P. Slots menu, and then choose “Activate CAMP”
  o Your stored C.A.M.P.s will not load into the world, show icons to other players on the Map, or produce resources from Resource Generators.

[h2]Vending Machine and Display Case Updates[/h2]

• With the introduction of C.A.M.P. Slots, we have also made changes to the way Vending Machines and Display Cases work.
  o Your Vending Machines will have the same shared inventory across all your C.A.M.P.s, so that you will not need to reassign the items you would like to sell every time you build a new C.A.M.P. We have also merged all Vending Machine item slots into a single pool, which means you will now be able to sell the maximum number of items with just one Vending Machine. Other types of CAMP items, like Refrigerators and Fermenters, now also share their inventories across your different C.A.M.P.s.
  o Your Display Cases, however, are not shared across C.A.M.P.s, which will give you the ability to show off different items at each of your homes.
  
• While we were working to implement C.A.M.P. Slots, we also added the ability to build and use Display Cases and Vending Machines inside of your Shelters.
  o Vending Machines in Shelters will share the same slots and item assignments as those you have built in your C.A.M.P.s.
  o Display Cases you build inside Shelters will allow you to assign different items from any Displays you may have in your C.A.M.P.
  
• Finally, we’ve made an adjustment so that items you place into your Display Cases will no longer consume any of your C.A.M.P. build budget.

[h2]Daily Ops Expansion[/h2]
Today’s update nearly doubles the amount of available Daily Ops content, with the addition of the new “Decryption” mode, as well as new locations, enemies, mutations, and rewards.

[h3]New Mode: Decryption[/h3]
In Decryption Mode, you’re on a mission to disable three Radio Interceptors for Vernon Dodge.

• To do this, you’ll need to hunt for three enemy “Code Carriers,” and then take them down to get a special code you can use to disable a Radio Interceptor.
  
• Enemy waves you face will become more difficult after each Interceptor you disable, until you’ve killed the Daily Op boss and pulled the plug on the final Interceptor.

[h3]New Mutations[/h3]
Enemies in Decryption have a new default Mutation, called Savage Strike, which makes their attacks more deadly and causes them to ignore your armor resistances.
We’ve also added several new Mutations to the randomized pool that can apply to enemies in any Daily Ops mode:

• Group Regeneration: Enemies heal when grouped together.
  
• Swift-Footed: Enemies have extra fast movement and melee attacks speeds.
  
• Toxic Blood: On death, enemies leave behind poisonous hazard pool.

[h3]New Enemy Types[/h3]
We’ve added Scorched, Mothman Cultists, and Mole Miners to the pool of randomized enemy types you may encounter in any Daily Ops mode.

[h3]New Locations[/h3]
Fight your way through Vault 96, Watoga Raider Arena, and West Tek Research Center, all of which have been added to the randomized pool of locations for Daily Ops.

[h3]Rewards Updates[/h3]
In this update for Daily Ops, we’re adding a host of new rewards, including new Covert Scout Armor, which has some built-in stealthy utility.
We’re also adding plans for the “Unstoppable Monster” and “Medical Malpractice” legendary weapons, and a variety of new plans for objects you can build in your C.A.M.P.
Following community feedback, we’ve also rebalanced Daily Ops rewards lists to give players a better chance at getting rare rewards.

• Aim Assist: We’ve added a new game setting for players who use controllers that will help them more easily snap their crosshairs to enemies and stay on target when aiming down the sights with ranged weapons.
  
• Batch Crafting: You can now assemble, forge, cook, or manufacture an entire stack of an item all at once using a new slider that we’ve added when you’re crafting at a Workbench.
  o To do this, select the item you want to craft, and then adjust the slider to the quantity that you need.
  
• World Activity Updates: The World Activity Menu now includes more than Daily Ops! It will now help you stay up-to-date with many more activities in the world, including active Nuke Zones, Events, and nearby player Vending Machines, giving you an easy way to find and Fast Travel to them.
