It reintroduces NPCs - actual people - to replace the original cast of middling robots. The Wastelanders expansion is what the game should have been in the first place.

That makes it actually playable this time around, but it is the entirely new approach to content where Fallout 76 has really turned the tides. The bugs and glitches have been plastered over they bobble to the surface fairly regularly, but it’s more comedic than destructive now, and technical foibles no longer dominate the conversation. It reminds me of the second coming of No Man’s Sky in how it has been able to reinvent itself by evolving to better match the original pitch to players.Īfter several years of patches, Fallout 76 is now much closer to how I originally envisioned a multiplayer adaptation. I returned to my abandoned wasteland wanderer – dressed as a paramedic/cop hybrid for some reason – to discover Fallout 76 has been completely overhauled.

More than two years on, it resurfaced on my Xbox Series X recently through the rotating line-up of Game Pass promotions and I delved back in to find the answer. I wondered whether Bethesda would commit to the significant restructure required to salvage the foundations of a successful concept, or if it would let it fade away and chalk it up to a learning experience. The content was bland, the bugs were game-breaking and the microtransactions were atrocious. Such items can be moved and placed into a car, if, of course, there is enough space.Appalachia has changed a lot since you last visited, but is it worth returning to Fallout 76?įallout 76 was an absolute disaster when it launched back in 2018.

There's a lot of building elements scattered around the map, such as sandbags or sniper towers. One of the most interesting elements of Wasteland is building your own base. The group of players that will reach that place first and kill all the enemeis, will be rewared with a box filled with weapons or money. The objectives of those missions are generally simple - for example, at some point on the island there will appear a destroyed vehicle surrounded by a bunch of enemies controlled by AI. Missions appear at scheduled intervals, and these usually differ depending on the server. You earn money by killing other players or completing various missions.

You can even buy them in gun stores that are marked on the map. You start with a PO7 pistol, but you can find many other weapons that are scattered around the island, hidden in cars. Getting food or water won't be your only concern, since the island has a lot of other players that want to get rid of you. If you get too hungry or too thirsty, you will start losing health, which in turn will result in your death. The main goal is to survive - there is an idicitator of both hunger and thirst. The latter have no allies, so if you choose this faction, you will be on your own. In Wasteland you can be a member of two factions : BLUFOR (USA), OPFOR (Iran) or Independent.
