This week, we’re sharing a new Dev Dive video, where we sat down with Fallout 76 developers to take a deeper look at the upcoming Steel Dawn questline that’s coming with an update in December. We’re also kicking off a new “Hunt for the Treasure Hunter” event a little later today, and sharing details on anniversary events taking place in-game next week. Read on for all the details.
CATCH AN EARLY LOOK AT STEEL DAWN QUESTS
The Brotherhood of Steel is returning to Appalachia in our Steel Dawn Update that’s on its way to Fallout 76 in December. Alongside the group’s arrival, we’re adding the first part of an all-new questline to the game, where you’ll rendezvous with the Brotherhood to learn what they’re doing here and how you can lend a hand with their efforts. Recently, we sat down with Mark Tucker and Brianna Schneider from the Design Team to chat about the new quests, characters, locations, rewards, and much more. Watch our latest Dev Dive video below to hear Mark and Brianna’s thoughts from the development perspective, catch footage from the new questline, and to get prepped for patch day next month.
As a reminder, those of you who own a PC copy of Fallout 76 through Bethesda.net can join us in the Public Test Server (PTS) to try out the Steel Dawn questline right now. Play through the new quests and let us know what you think by posting in the PTS forum. In case you missed it, we also released a Dev Dive video last week that focused on our upcoming C.A.M.P. Shelters feature, and you can head here to check it out.
HUNT FOR THE TREASURE HUNTER THIS WEEKEND
The community did an excellent job driving Treasure Hunter Mole Miners back into the depths after they emerged last month—but they’re a persistent bunch. We’ve detected another surge in Mole Miner activity on the surface, and we believe they are planning to continue plundering the Wasteland’s hidden riches this weekend. It’s time to grab your gear and prepare for another “Hunt for the Treasure Hunter” event, which begins a little later today. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Treasure Hunter Mole Miners throughout Appalachia, and take them down to claim some of their loot for yourself by opening the Mole Miner Pails they drop. If you’d like, you can also purchase Empty Mole Miner Pails from vendors using Caps, and then head to your Tinker’s Workbench to craft full Mole Miner Pails that you can open to get some more loot. Keep in mind that higher-quality Pails offer better chances at rare rewards, and we will see you on the hunting grounds!
