Fallout 76 – August Activities in Appalachia

The team behind Fallout 76 is busy trying out some upcoming features for their multiplayer survival RPG on the Public Test Server, and they wouldn’t mind it if more players participated in the new Daily Ops as a party. As such, according to the game’s latest development update, you can now earn some in-game rewards by completing eight Daily Ops on the PTS.

Here’s more on that, along with a quick look at a few ongoing community events:

JOIN US IN THE PTS

Last Friday, we re-opened the Public Test Server (PTS) to invite you to join us in play testing upcoming features, including One Wasteland, Daily Ops, and Legendary Perks. We’re grateful for the play testing and time many of you have already put into this phase of the PTS. We’re actively discussing all of the great feedback you’ve been sharing, and we’re lining up a new update for the PTS to address some community-reported bugs.

While participation has been fantastic, we’re still looking for as many players as possible to join us in play testing. Some key areas where you can lend a hand are Daily Ops and One Wasteland. Currently, most PTS players attempting Daily Ops are doing them solo. While that is great, we’d also love to see more team play. We’d like to encourage you to group up with your friends to take on Daily Ops in the PTS together, and to form Daily Ops Public Teams whenever you can (you might even make new friends along the way!)

When it comes to One Wasteland, the majority of our PTS players are using high-level characters. That’s providing us with great data and feedback about creature levels scaling up, but we are also looking for more play testing on the other end of the spectrum. If you would like to help with this, please try starting fresh PTS characters, and then let us know about your experiences with One Wasteland at lower levels.

COMPLETE DAILY OPS IN PTS TO GET A NEW REWARD!

Starting now, players who log into the PTS and spend time play testing upcoming features will receive a new PTS Pennant reward for their C.A.M.P.s in the live game. To earn your Pennant, we’re asking you to complete eight (8) Daily Ops in the PTS before play testing concludes in mid-September. Once we release Update 22, we’ll grant the reward to players who met the goal so that you can show off your dedication to all your C.A.M.P. visitors.

Once again, if you own the PC version of Fallout 76 through Bethesda.net, we would love to see you join us in the PTS. After trying out the new features, please let us know what you think by heading to the PTS forum.

MEAT WEEK, MEAT WEEK!

Everybody’s favorite Super Mutant, Grahm, and his faithful Brahmin, Chally the Moo-Moo, are back for another celebration of all things meat! In case you missed it, the Meat Week Seasonal Event is scheduled to kick off today, August 20.

For the next seven days, you can take on Prime Beasts throughout Appalachia at Primal Cuts events, which will begin every 15 minutes. Take the Prime Meat you earn from completing these events to Grahm’s Meat-Cook near Vault 76 at the top of every hour, and then turn it in for some Legendary Scrips. While you’re there, you can lend the Super Mutant a hand with throwing his shindig. The more successful the party, the better your chances to receive some fun rewards! Check out the dates and times for Meat Week below, and we’ll see you at the Meat-Cook.

MEAT WEEK DETAILS

• Event Start: Primal Cuts begin at 11:00 a.m. ET on August 20, and the first Meat Cook kicks off at 12:00 p.m.
• Event End: The final Meat-Cook event will take place at 12:00 p.m. ET on August 26.

FORTIFYING ATLAS: PROJECT ALPHA COMPLETE

Congratulations, Dwellers! The community came together to deliver tons of supplies to ATLAS Observatory over the past couple of weeks, and construction of the Brotherhood’s Appalachian HQ is off to a great start. Along the way, you also managed to unlock the Brotherhood of Steel Beret and C.A.M.P. Banner cosmetics, as well as a Double Daily Challenge Weekend and a week of bonus Challenges. Here are the dates and details for the latter two rewards:

• Double S.C.O.R.E. Dailies: From August 20 – 24, all of your Daily Challenges will award twice the usual amount of S.C.O.R.E. so that you can rank up even quicker during The Legendary Run.
• Bonus Challenge Week: From August 26 – 31, we’re adding a few Daily and Weekly Challenges to your usual lineup, which means even more opportunities to rake in extra S.C.O.R.E. each day.

Take time for a little well-deserved R&R to enjoy Meat Week! We’ll begin Project Bravo, the second half of Fortifying ATLAS, on August 27. The first challenge when supply gathering efforts resume will be to deliver 150,000,000 Wood. In exchange for your efforts, everyone will unlock the Steel Dawn Army Fatigues. There are some great community rewards up for grabs if you meet the remaining challenge goals, including the Brotherhood Collectron Station, a Purveyor 50% off Super Sale, and even a second helping of the Meat Week Seasonal Event. So be sure to stock up on wood, cloth, leather, and glass over the coming days.
