Once it is live, you'll be able to hop in via the Fallout 76 PTS in the Bethesda launcher. You can keep an eye on its status in their forum thread. That's appropriately vault Tech-y innit? Well, that idea's free then.īethesda had planned to have the test server up and running yesterday, though it sounds like they've encountered some issues and are hoping to have it up this evening. Two are horrible death gauntlets and the third wins you a prize. Oh, perhaps a horrible game show where visitors choose to enter one of three entrances. I may only be capable of a simple lakeside dock but I know others will come up with unimaginable uses for instanced base building.

Players in Fallout 76 already do quite creative things with their bases by creating killer maths tests and art galleries and oh so many other wild things.

Bethesda say you can build multiple entrances to the same shelter or even have one of each type in your camp if you choose. Because it's instanced, you'll also have a building budget separate from the rest of your camp. After placing a door to the Shelter in your camp, the area is yours to build and decorate. The particularly freeing bit about Shelters is that they're personal instances where you're in control. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. The two larger Shelters will be available to purchase with 76's premium currency Atoms. When they're fully released later this year, players will be able to unlock the first (presumably smallest) by completing a new quest called 'Home Expansion'. You can test out the Vault Shelters this weekend on the public test server before they're added to the game later this year.īethesda say that Shelters will come in three sizes: Vault Utility Room, Vault Lobby, and Vault Atrium. Fallout 76 is adding underground vault instances for your base where you can build without the restrictions out in the fresh air. Begone the travails of fighting against terrain to build your shoddy Fallout 76 camp with wood you've scraped off fallen trees.
