You can repair weapons at workbenches found around Appalachia, at your CAMP and by some specialist vendors. If you jaunt off to a new location, you risk getting your CAMP trashed by friendly opponents or various creatures, giving you another reason to play in a group. Much like Fallout 4, you can pick up almost everything and some players have reached their inventory and stash limits in a matter of hours.įallout 4, Fallout 3 and New Vegas all had a plethora of vendors, stashes and workbenches you could use to store your resources and this feature is definitely lacking in Fallout Bobby pins, used for lockpicking, inexplicably weigh more than ammo in Fallout 76, so there may be a time where you need to weigh up ha whether you need that extra ammo, or that extra stash of bobby pins to lockpick your way to victory. Being over-encumbered is part and parcel of all Bethesda games, but it feels more pronounced in Fallout Building a CAMP is no easy feat as you need to compete with other players for prime locations, set up defences, etc, and all of this requires resources.

You are encouraged to trade resources with your teammates and strangers, such as recipes or mods, which really makes the social aspect of Fallout 76 quite special.

As for achievements that rely on crafting weapons or building a camp, those should automatically unlock assuming you already did this in beta.Īpart from the robots and beasties crawling the map, you only have other players to interact with.

The camp items can be used to liven up your camp straight away.Īchievements that require finishing a quest, such as leaving the Vault, will unfortunately not unlock automatically. The main difference from Fallout 76 and the previous titles is that you and your fellow vault dwellers are responsible for rebuilding society, as opposed to being born or defrosted into a brave new world. Some of the buttons are mapped slightly differently and you have the addition of the CAMP function from the Pip-Boy which can get a bit fiddly. This might seem obvious, but to the inexperienced eye, Fallout 76 looks near identical to the Fallout 4. That should make you feel a bit more confident now to take on the world of Fallout The safest way to exit the game and hope your progress will be saved is to go to the main menu you and select Quit Game.

Now head down the first set of steps opposite the entrance to find another body, this time with a machete. Loot it for a fairly basic pistol and some ammo. You need a weapon as soon as you leave the Vault. Fallout 76 has huge potential to be one of the most unique MMOs out there, almost blurring the line between real-time strategy, shooter and survival sandbox.
