Starting Fallout 76 is a Strange Experience for Players


Starting Fallout 76 is a strange experience, especially if you're a returning player lured back to the retro-futuristic apocalyptic world laid out in Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4. At a glance, it's comfortingly similar you're once again the last one out of your Vault-Tec nuclear bunker, off to explore what remains of a nuclear-ravaged North America.


It's not clear how access to the collection will be unlocked, but it'll likely happen on the Bethesda platform that also hosts Fallout 76. If you have any issues pertaining to wherever and how to use Fallout 76 Bottle Caps, you can get hold of us at our own web page. The latest Fallout game skipped Steam in favor of Bethesda's own, relatively new game store client online gaming platform. The service itself is still a work-in-progress. There's no client-level friends list, for example; all the social elements in Fallout 76 happen inside the game. It's possible that this freebie offer is motivated, at least in part, by a desire to get more people into Bethesda's online platform.



Fallout 76's approach to player-versus-player combat is idiosyncratic. The game can only be played on randomly matchmade servers unless you choose to manually jump into a friend's game and Bethesda curbed the online bloodbaths this entails in many other games with an impromptu duel system; players can attack one another freely, but the damage they inflict is a mere "slap" until their victim returns fire and begins open combat. Players can still kill one another with slap damage, at which point they'll become a wanted criminal, or enable Pacifist Mode to avoid doing any damage to other players whatsoever. It's kind of a lot.


One possible answer is to just hang tight. Bethesda has been working to improve Fallout 76, having released a patch that is over 50GB in size last month, which was around the same size as the day-one patch. As it stands, the PC version of Fallout 76 has a 53 rating on Metacric, and a 2.6 user score. It feels like an important warning, because the game is getting review-bombed over on Metacritic.


In Fallout 76 though, you have to put your morals aside because joining the Enclave is the only way to launch a nuke and complete the end-game content. They're the most complete faction in the game, and while there's no living beings aside from other players that are part of the Appalachia branch of the Enclave, there are tons of Enclave robots. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. How do you join the Enclave in Fallout 76?


Let's talk about the game, then. Since its surprise announcement at Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference, it was met with severe skepticism by Fallout and BGS fans simply because it wasn't the same single player RPG experience the studio has always released since its foundation. As if developers weren't allowed to do anything but make the same types of games over and over again, which, ironically, VP of Marketing Pete Hines already hinted at a couple years ago when he said the studio was no vending machine.
