FALLOUT 76: INSIDE THE VAULT – MISCHIEF NIGHT STATS

Welcome back to Inside the Vault! The spookiest season of the year has come to a close, but we’re sharing a few more treats with you in the form of Mischief Night stats. We’ve also still got some ghoulish Nuclear Winter rewards up for grabs for a little while longer. Read on for details!


MISCHIEF NIGHT STATS

The Mischief Night Seasonal Event has come to an end, and some semblance of order has returned to The Whitespring now that JES-2R’s explosive tours of the resort have wound down. This was one of the most popular events in the game’s history, and tons of you stopped by to join in the mayhem. We wanted to share a few final treats with you before we bid farewell to Mischief Night… for now:

If there were a world record for speed trick-or-treating, we’re certain some of you would have smashed it to pieces.

We’re all just skeletons on the inside. It turns out lots of you like to show it on the outside, too.

“They can’t take out all of us!” will look beautiful etched into almost one million tombstones.

Our newest Seasonal Event, Mischief Night, kicked off earlier this week and The Whitespring has been quite literally exploding with suspicious activity ever since! Join the rowdy Eyebot JES-2R and some of your fellow trouble-making Dwellers in a costumed caper to spread some mayhem at the resort by blowing up cars, lighting bonfires, forking the lawns, among other devious activities.

There’s plenty of XP and themed rewards to go around, so be sure to take part in the Mischief Night celebration for some tricks and treats before the festivities conclude at 12:00 p.m. ET on November 5. Remember to wear your favorite costume and you’ll earn double credit toward the objectives and get better chances at sweet loot.

Keep the ghosts and goblins at bay this Halloween season with six spooky new rewards that you can claim by completing a few limited-time challenges in Nuclear Winter. These challenges began appearing on October 29, and a new one will arrive each day until November 3. Earn enough Overseer XP from your Nuclear Winter matches and you’ll unlock ghastly skins for your weapons and armor, and even a glow-in-the-dark skeleton outfit.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: UPDATE 14 HIGHLIGHTS

76 Banner PatchNotes 750x350

In addition to Fallout 1st, Mischief Night, and new Nuclear Winter rewards, Update 14 brought a variety of gameplay improvements, bug fixes, and more to Fallout 76. In case you missed anything on patch day, we’ve gathered a few of the highlights below.

  • More Frequent Public Events: We’ve reduced the cooldown between the start of one Public Event to the next by half, meaning you’ll be able to join Public Events even more often than before.
  • Legendary Scorchbeasts: Scorchbeasts now have a chance to spawn as one, two, or even three-star Legendary enemies, which will give you a shot at some legendary gear the next time you go on the hunt for these winged terrors.
  • Color-Coded Items in Nuclear Winter: Items in Nuclear Winter are now color-coded based on their rarity so you can quickly size up their effectiveness as you scavenge for gear. Get more info by reading the latest transmission from ZAX on Fallout.com.
  • Weight Reductions for Popular Display Items: Bobbleheads, Magazines, and Teddy Bears all received weight reductions in Update 14, which means you can show off even more of your collection without using as much C.A.M.P. Budget.
  • Menu Music Volume Setting: Whether you’d prefer to turn down the game’s Main Menu music, or crank it up to max, the new “Menu Music” slider in the Audio Settings menu will help your tunes hit the right notes.

Until next time, we’ll see you in the Wasteland!
