Description
Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of Skyrim and Fallout 4, welcome you to Fallout 76. Twenty-five years after the bombs fell, you and your fellow Vault Dwellers—chosen from the nation’s best and brightest – emerge into post-nuclear America on Reclamation Day, 2102. Play solo or join together as you explore, quest, build, and triumph against the wasteland’s greatest threats. Explore a vast wasteland, devastated by nuclear war, in this open-world multiplayer addition to the Fallout story. Experience the largest, most dynamic world ever created in the legendary Fallout universe.
Immersive Questlines and Engaging Characters
Uncover the secrets of West Virginia by playing through an immersive main quest, starting from the moment you leave Vault 76. Befriend or betray new neighbors who have come to rebuild, and experience Appalachia through the eyes of its residents.
Seasons
Progress through each season and unlock free rewards like consumables, C.A.M.P. items and more by completing limited-time challenges.
Multiplayer Roleplaying
Create your character with the S.P.E.C.I.A.L system and forge your own path and reputation in a new and untamed wasteland with hundreds of locations. Whether you journey alone or with friends, a new and unique Fallout adventure awaits.
Mountain Splendorland
The story lives and breathes through the world of Fallout 76, which brings to life six distinct West Virginia regions. From the forests of Appalachia to the noxious crimson expanses of the Cranberry Bog, each area offers its own risks and rewards.
A New American Dream
Use the all-new Construction and Assembly Mobile Platform (C.A.M.P.) to build and craft anywhere in the world. Your C.A.M.P. will provide much-needed shelter, supplies, and safety. You can even set up shop to trade goods with other survivors.
Fallout Worlds
Play unique adventures in Appalachia with Fallout Worlds, which is an evolving set of features that give players the capability to play Fallout 76 in unique ways with customizable settings.

So, saying the game is "bad" would be a lie.

A year ago, I wanted to play Fallout 76 by a free weekend Steam offering acces of Fallout 76 during 72h.
But the game was so unintuitive that I didn't even play for one or two hours before uninstalling it after.
In early March 2024, "before knowing about a upcoming Fallout series on Amazon Prime"
A friend suggested I try the game again with him. So bought it on Instant Gaming and after a few hours, I ended up playing alone.
Why ?
It's complicated to progres with a friend because mission and progress is only tracked for the group leader.
This means you'll get a message asking if you to "Assist leader" when you will enter in a building or cave.
Even if u was at same progress than your friend.
You will have to go back by yourself afterward in same building or cave for do "your progress"
This is why at end i finish to play it alone, "Friend given up the game"
We can consider that Fallout 76 is more an Fallout 4 with player vendors.

The interactions between players/ramdoms, "if you can call them that" mostly involve being in a group to get the XP multiplier while continuing your own adventure.
Aside from events where you have to kill mobs. "come, boom boom, kill every mobs, win and leave"
There is no vocal proximity, so communication between players is done solely through emotes.
Not even a proximity or server chat..
There is a vocal group, but most of the time, no one talks, or you'll hear background noise from players with poor-quality microphones.
"based on my experience"

Despite everything, even though the game is marketed as a multiplayer experience, it is more playable like Fallout 4 as previously mentioned.
I didn't necessarily feel like I was always doing the same tasks or missions. Even though, like in all games you need to "take a quest, complete it, and come back"
In that aspect, all games do that.
I think spending 200 hours for €10 is more than fair. I didn't buy any DLC or opt for the subscription service, as I was initially skeptical about the game at start.
I believe the game still offers a good experience for anyone wanting to play a Fallout game.
The release of the series has brought in many new players, and Bethesda decided to release a major bug-fix patch after the series on Amazon Prime.
PS: I still find it unfortunate that it took an Amazon series for them to release a bug-fix patch that players had been waiting for several years..
- non-repetitive missions
- Not p2w game
- 200h contents for 10€
- Not much interaction between players
- No possibility of communication outside of group chats
- Solo progression
- First 100 ours is great
- A lot of things to do
- Build your own base is
- After 100 ours the game feels like doing the same
- Missing some difficulty, often to easy.
- the price
- gets selld out fast

You shoot at the opponent or hit him with the sword, but nothing happens, but the opponents lose health. You can't see the effect of the blow on the opponent's body. The blood effect is also of poor quality.
Didn't buy it from instant gaming, however, is shitty. I don't like game will low physics and effect quality.
- Very bad physics!
Still a lot of bugs and absolutely no new tech in sight.
- Fun
- Solo or Co-op
- Beautiful despite the old graphics
- No DLSS/FSR
- A lot of bugs
- Old graphics
Be aware that even with a high end PC the game didn't feel smooth (even with 144FPS) and had FPS drops so I had to install a mod to fix the performance issues and now it's actually playable for me.
See BIG FPS Boost on NexusMods
Also there are some tweaks in the .ini files that are useful like disabling vsync (which cannot be done through the game's options menus because why would you need to disable it of course?)
See PCGamingWiki
- shoot stuff with a friend
- bethesda account required
- might be bad in solo
after a month and a half, at level 107, the story is over- all the stories. all there is left to do are events, and pointless grinding.
as for the Fallout 1st subscription:
Bethesda is greedy. everyone knows it.
Fallout 1st is the proof of that.
today it costs almost as much as the game itself- and for what?!? a few small benefits?
don't buy the Fallout 1st subscription.
- fun for a while
- may poor mechanics from FO4 were fixed
- too short for an online game
- Fallout 1st
- Price in IG
- Exploration
- Story
- Viele verschiedene Waffen
- Season Pass ohne ihn zu bezahlen
- Es macht spaß mit Freunden
- Skill Karten wurden schlecht gemacht weil 80% der Karten nutzlos sind z.b Kannibale
- Haupt und Neben missionen sind langweilig
- Boring Charaktere
- multiplayer
- level scaling
- can craft with only the blueprints
- to realistic, as in condition on items.
- survival, you need to drink and eat
- great
- fast
- World aspect view perfect apolitical
- Need good powerful Pc
- It is a fallout game!
- It is a fallout game.
I received the game as a gift but i couldn't bring myself to finish it. I tried it twice, first before the Wastelanders expansion and then after. In both cases I wasn't captivated enough to continue.
I think it's a decent game for fans of the franchise that want to experience Fallout together, but I highly discourage it as a solo experience if you are not a big fan of the series.
- Fallout with friends
- Plain experience
- Big map and great environment
- nice gameplay
- you can have fun with your friend
- lot of activity
- worse graphics
With the Wastelanders update and the following updates this game really redeemed itself. NPC's are back and the world feels more alive with new settlements and better quests. The free season pass is a really nice addition to the game and gives you a reason to log on daily or atleast weekly because you can get some nice rewards for just playing the game.
My time in this game (~700 hours) has been played 50% solo and 50% with friends i'd say. I do think it's a lot beter with friends but its fun solo for sure. The perk system is probably the best i've seen in any Fallout game and it has the smoothest gameplay aswell. It does lack in the RPG department. Decisions on what factions you support and dialog options sometimes feel somewhat meaningless unfortunatly.
I do feel it needs some more end-game. There are things you can grind for but Bethesda has put a daily cap on the recources you need for them. These hopefully go up in the future!
Overall I would recommend this game if you like the Fallout franchise, especially for the price you can get it at now. 78/100 for me and climbing.
- Fun for single and/or multiplayer.
- Free DLC's and season passes.
- Ongoing development, although sometimes slow.
- Frequency of bugs
- Needs more endgame content.
- Not as true as an RPG like for example FO: New Vegas
- Complex online Fallout experience
- Constantly updated with new contents
- Nice community / players market
- Sometimes you encounter bugs
If course, it would have been even better with an Obsidian script ;)
- True Fallout immersion
- Multi is a great addition
- Deep crafting, rpg and survival aspect
- Progression and frequent events to keep the world alive
- Would be even better with an Obsidian script
- The possibility to buy Atom with real money, which shouldn't exist in games
- Massive world with tons of things to explore
- Lack of human NPC's, so the world feels dead
