The first update, Wild Appalachia, releases next month on 12 March across all platforms. Content includes new quests and features such as the ability to scrap legendary items for alternative legendary gear, player vending that lets other players purchase unwanted items easily, plus a new survival mode that reduces PvP restrictions.

Here’s all the information on the update:

• New Quests: Shear Terror! – Uncover the ‘encryptid’ secrets of Appalachia in a new series of quests and encounters to separate monsters from myths.
• New Quests: Ever Upwards – Journey to the deepest reaches of the woods with new stories for the legendary Pioneer Scouts. Earn merit badges, climb the ranks, and earn a customizable backpack for increased utility.
• New Features: Legendary Vendor and Scrapping – Locate the mysterious Purveyor to exchange and scrap your unwanted legendary items for new legendary gear. For every star rating on a legendary item you scrap, increase your chances to get the legendary weapon or armor of your dreams.
• New Features: C.A.M.P. Decorating, Player Vending, Functional Camera – Use items from your stash to decorate your C.A.M.P. Build vending machines and flag items for sale. Simply set your prices and walk away to continue your adventures in Appalachia, being sure to capture all your favorite memories using the new functional camera. The vending machines do all the work, you just need to count the caps.
• New Features: Brewing and Distilling – Go on a new quest to discover the secrets of the forbidden brew Nukashine and bring the party back to your C.A.M.P with new brewing and distilling systems and recipes.
• New Seasonal Event: Fasnacht Parade – Chase away Old Man Winter and quicken the coming of spring with the ancient festival of Fasnacht! Join the celebration and complete this new limited-time event to earn unique rewards in the form of festive Fasnacht Masks.
• New Game Mode: Survival – This all-new game mode brings a higher-stakes PvP experience with fewer restrictions, increased rewards, and new challenges plus all the original content of Adventure Mode.

The Nuclear Winter update follows Wild Appalachia, arriving sometime this summer, and adds high-level Vault raids and a prestige system for players above level 50. It also adds a new mode that’s said to be “an entirely new way to play Fallout 76.”

The final major update is Wastelanders, which will be released towards the end of the year. This is probably the most significant update content wise, with players said to be able to “embark on a tale with true choice and consequences.”

Wastelanders includes new main questlines, new factions, features and events along with “more surprises.”
