Welcome back to Inside the Vault! This weekend it’s Fallout 76’s third birthday, and in celebration of spending three wonderful years in Appalachia together, we’re excited to share some lifetime community stats with you. We’ve also got reminders about the Fallout 1st Limited Preview taking place this week, a C.A.M.P. Pennant for our PTS playtesters, and details on in-game activities this weekend. Read on to catch all the info.

HAPPY THIRD BIRTHDAY, FALLOUT 76!

This Sunday, November 14, marks the third anniversary since many of us stepped foot outside the cozy confines of Vault 76 for the very first time. Now, more than 11 million of you have joined us in a combined effort to rebuild Appalachia, conquer the Scorched Plague, collect as much legendary loot as we could get our hands on, and so much more. In celebration of the community reaching this milestone, and because we love digging into some fun stats, we’d like to share a few numbers and bits of info about the community that we thought you might find interesting.

From the most popular items sold in player vending machines, to the deadliest enemies in the Wasteland, and beyond, here’s a look at some stats from the launch of Fallout 76 until now:

Thank you so much to everyone who has joined us in Appalachia since the door to the Vault first rolled open in 2018. We’ve had a blast evolving Fallout 76 and playing alongside you all as we’ve introduced each new questline, feature, and quality-of-live improvement. Here’s to spending many more years together in the Wasteland.

FALLOUT 1ST LIMITED PREVIEW

In case you missed it, our latest Fallout 1st Limited Preview is now under way! Until Monday, November 15, you can head to the Atomic Shop to claim the Fallout 1st Preview “item” for free to try out membership benefits like the Survival Tent and Scrapbox. Remember to unlock the Scrapbox separately after claiming the Preview in the Shop, and make sure to snag other freebies like the Mechanic’s Floors and Wallpaper, as well.

Catch full details for the Fallout 1st Limited Preview in this article on Fallout.com. If you would like, you can head here to become a Fallout 1st member. If you do, you’ll be able to continue adding scrap to your Scrapbox and retain the Survival Tent after the preview concludes. You’ll also gain full membership benefits, including 1,650 Atoms per month, access to Private Adventure and Custom Worlds, and monthly bonus items in the Atomic Shop.

EARN YOUR MOTHMAN PTS PENNANT!

If you own a PC copy of Fallout 76 via Bethesda.net, and you haven’t had the chance to check out the “Night of the Moth” update in the Public Test Server just yet, then now is the perfect time. In addition to trying out the upcoming content early, and voicing your thoughts and feedback in our PTS Discord channels, you’ll also be able to earn a Mothman-themed pennant for your C.A.M.P. in the live version of the game. All you’ll need to do to earn your pennant is fire up the PTS and join a world during the current round of playtesting. We’ll grant Pennants to everyone who earned them within a week after we release the Night of the Moth Update. Log into the Test Server before playtesting concludes in early December to ensure the Mothman will always keep an eye on your home while you’re out adventuring.

GOLD RUSH AND MYSTERY PICK THIS WEEKEND

Whether you’re looking to unlock some Gold Bullion item plans, you’re on the hunt for legendary gear, or both, then this weekend has something in store for you! Yesterday, we kicked off Gold Rush and Mystery Pick in-game activities, which will put a little more Gold in your pockets and help you add some legendary items to your personal armory.

Each day during the Gold Rush, Gold Press Machines at Foundation and The Crater will be restocked with a surplus of Gold Bullion. Gather up all of your Treasury Notes, along with any you earn from Public Events over the next few days, and trade them in to receive up to twice the usual daily amount of Gold. Then, grab your collection of Legendary Scrip and head to the Rusty Pick in the Ash Heap to try your luck at Purveyor Murmrgh’s shop. Speak with the Purveyor and select her Mystery Pick option to exchange your Scrip for a completely random 3-star legendary weapon or piece of armor.

Both the Gold Rush and Mystery Pick events are already underway. Make sure to cash in your Treasury Notes and Legendary Scrip before both they conclude at 12:00 p.m. ET (17:00 UTC) on Monday, November 15.

Until next time, we’ll see you in Appalachia.

We’ve got a brief update to share with you this week that includes details on our upcoming Fallout 1st Limited Preview, which will give all players the ability to try out a few Fallout 1st benefits for free for a little while. We’ve also got information on Double XP and Double Mutation Daily Ops, which are taking place in-game this weekend. Read on to learn more.

FALLOUT 1ST LIMITED PREVIEW

Starting next Tuesday, we’re kicking off a Fallout 1st Limited Preview, which will give all players the chance to take the Scrapbox and Survival Tent membership benefits for a test drive. All you will need to do is visit the Atomic Shop from November 9 – 15 to claim the Fallout 1st Limited Preview “item” for free, and then head to the Shop’s Fallout 1st page to unlock the Scrapbox.

Once you’ve joined a world, you can set up the Survival Tent as a forward operating base at a moment’s notice by opening the favorites menu, pressing the “Survival Tent” button, and finding a valid spot to build it. While the Survival Tent comes pre-loaded with a Scrapbox, you can also build one in your C.A.M.P. Find it in the build menu’s “Stash Boxes” tab, place it, and then begin storing crafting components to your hearts’ content. During the Limited Preview, you will also be able to unlock free items for your C.A.M.P., like the Mechanic’s Wallpaper and Floors, which will remain in your collection even after the preview is over.

If you would like, you can join Fallout 1st to retain access to the Survival Tent and continue adding scrap to your Scrapbox once the Limited Preview concludes. And don’t worry, you’ll still be able to remove scrap from the Scrapbox whenever you’d like—even if you decide not to become a member. Learn more about Fallout 1st and begin your membership by heading here on Fallout.com.

DOUBLE MUTATIONS, DOUBLE XP, DOUBLE THE FUN!

If you’re the type who likes to put your skills to the test then you’re in luck, because Double Mutation Daily Ops are returning! Starting a little later today, enemies in Daily Ops will begin sporting unique combinations of two Mutations, making them much deadlier than normal. If you are daring enough to take on these fearsome foes, you will also receive double the rolls on in-game currency rewards, and twice as many Legendary Cores, as well as double XP during your Daily Ops runs.

The excitement continues outside of Daily Ops with our latest Double XP weekend, which also begins today. Join a world in any game mode to level up like crazy by earning twice the usual experience from your exploits in Appalachia over the next few days.

Both events will last until November 8. Grab your gear and team up with a few friends to conquer some Double Mutation Daily Ops, and don’t forget to complete that repeatable “Gain XP” Challenge as often as you can to rank up and claim Scoreboard rewards more quickly over the next few days.

Until next time, we’ll see you in Appalachia.

Happy Halloween! This week, we’ve got some spine-chilling updates to share with you about our ongoing Spooky Scorched and trick-or-treating events. If you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, we’ve also got details about how you can get your hands on some sweet loot. Finally, we’ve included reminders about Public Test Server playtesting, as well as our latest Double S.C.O.R.E. weekend, which begins today. Read on to catch everything you need to know.

SPOOKY EVENT UPDATES

There’s an eerie feeling creeping over Appalachia as we draw near to the most haunting holiday of the year. Even the Spooky Scorched can feel it, and they’ve recently begun recruiting even more members into their ranks in anticipation of Halloween. Prepare to blast your way through lots more costumed Scorched, because we’re greatly increasing their spawn rate from 12:00 p.m. ET (16:00 UTC) on Saturday, October 30, until that same time on Monday, November 1. We hope you manage to fill up on plenty of sweet treats and grab some themed loot this Halloween weekend.

Last week, we had been hearing from the community that trick-or-treating Challenges to give out candy felt a bit difficult with everyone being so busy hunting Spooky Scorched and doing their own trick-or-treating. In case you missed it earlier this week, we’ve made a couple of changes to the trick-or-treating event based on your feedback. First, you now only need to give out one piece of Mystery Candy per day from your Spooky Candy Bowl in order to complete the Daily Challenge. In addition, we’ve decided to extend the entire Spooky Scorched event, including the trick-or-treating Challenges, by an extra week so that everyone has some more time to earn the Challenge rewards.

We hope you enjoy hunting down Spooky Scorched and trick-or-treating around Appalachia until 12:00 p.m. ET on November 9.

DOUBLE S.C.O.R.E. THIS WEEKEND

Before we wrap up this edition of Inside the Vault, we’d like to share a reminder that we’re kicking off a Double S.C.O.R.E. Weekend just a little later today, at 12:00 p.m. ET (16:00 UTC). If you’re looking to give your Season rank a boost, the be sure to take on as many Daily Challenges as you can until Monday, November 1. Each one you complete will grant twice the normal amount of S.C.O.R.E., which means you’ll be able to rank up and claim Season rewards much faster than usual.
