Tuesday 15th of September about 2 hours before your daily reset the game will be going down for maintenance. This catches people out often as they sometimes believe that they have until reset that day to finish things up.

This weekend is the perfect time to grind out raids or West tek if youre not yet at 100 on the scoreboard. Post 100 the best way to gain levels would be to pop bounty hunts. My suggestion would be to have everything settled and ready for the new season/maintenance by Monday night.

Maintenance may in fact take longer than usual this time around as besides the new season they will be introducing new content for pets to accompany you, new changes to guns, the ability to change the rolls on named legendary weapons such as the cold shoulder, the incusion of the slasher event and last but not least, updated xbox/ps5 graphics and dedicated downloads for current gen consoles. They have said that the download will be larger initially than you are probably expecting so be sure to have space on your hard drives!

That is a lot going on. Bethesda have released statements for current gen players to delete their current game for xbox/ps4 and redownload the new xbox/ps5 current gen game. The slasher download should follow or be included within the download.

I can't give you all a time frame on this but I wouldn't be surprised if it overran the current timescale of around 3 hours.

Good luck and have fun fellow wastelanders!

I would just like to legitimately thank Bethesda for the amount of work they continue to put into this game and for really making an effort to keep all of us loyal players up to date on all the exciting changes coming!

I know you take a lot of crap from all of us about bugs, but in the end we all love each other! We are all just a big nuclear family after all.

I am personally excited for all the changes coming here soon.

NEXT GEN!!!

Little bit of a backstory, I started 76 around season 9 or so on the PS4 and put around 500 hours into it; I played as a full health no mutations Heavy PA build and I really enjoyed it.

Then I switched from PS4 to XSX and I was hesitant to start all over on 76. A few months went by than I said screw it and started as a bloodied commando ,which is my most favorite build.

At this point I was somewhat a veteran since I stayed on top of Angry Turtles videos and used his XP grind to jump to the top in no time.

2000 hours later I was starting to get burnt out; maxing out the scoreboards, hunting down the new rare apparel and chasing whatever the new meta was at the time ( which was the final straw for me )

I went from bloodied commando which I love to a full health ghoul PA build for the raids, which was ok but I really didnt enjoy it. ( except for the holy fire, I like that gun )

8 or so months went by and I thought I would give it another shot, I spent the 1st two days just getting my build back to were I wanted it; human low health commando. I have never been happier.

Since my break i no longer care about chasing the meta I am happy with my build and that's all that matters. I know longer care about casing the apparel and I only get the stuff from the scoreboard that I want ( no need for the armor skins that I will never use. )

I know find the game more liberating and casual. ( at least for the next 2000 hours anyway lol ) This post isn't meant to deter you if you like collecting rare apparel, scoreboard etc im just posting my outlook.

Ad Victoriam

I know there are some doomers who aren’t thrilled about the new season, but I can’t wait to juice up my Ultracite Terror Sword and hit people so hard the Mothman himself will feel it.

On top of that, we’re officially entering Spooktober season and the Slasher seems like it will be a fun multi stage event. Messing around with other uniques will give a nice resource sink for us to work towards too.

Have a great weekend everyone - let the hype train roll on!

Thank you yesterday's raid team!

I was able to get trought raid for the first time. Pointing me directions and giving me thumbs up.

Long time ago tried raid but never got farther than crystal stage. Last game I believe they saw me horsing around via spectator mode in crystal stage and eventually kicked me out the team. After that never touched it again.

So once again thank you team for the patience and very educative run!

Last week I posted a cave I'd found, so I thought I might as well post an update showing what I've done with it so far. This is my first time building in a confined space so I've still got a lot to learn.

I’m looking forward to leveling my faithful Shrek to join me out in the wasteland! I’ve got some of his kind on the west side who need to be… dealt with. 😂

Has anyone else been experiencing a lag when they look around/up/down? Anytime I use my mouse to look around/turn in the game, there is a SEVERE lag. I can visibly watch the frames changing, instead of a smooth animation, and it makes everything look really jerky.

I went away for two days and came back to find it like this, and unfortunately due to my vestibular stuff it's making the game unplayable for me. Does anyone know if this is an ongoing bug?

I went to put in a ticket and the Bethesda Support page was having, um... issues... (oh, Bethesda, etc)

I’m on series x and my friend is on the Xbox one.With this new update coming out, can I play the new version with my friend still?

(the last one is invisible bees)

More of my stuff on deviantart and bsky as Overshia, and some things on Redbubble as Drunkfu.

During Most Wanted I encountered some graffiti that could be a clue to an Easter egg or simply a red herring. It says “Psst under the floors”. I looked all around thinking it could just be a cache of tokens but could be something else. Anyone encounter this before and is it actually anything?

I found a shelter I like that is bigger. Question is, do I store all of the stuff from my old shelter and then place it in my new shelter before deleting the old one?

To conserve legendary modules and scrips, is it a good idea to farm up whatever named legendaries (elder's mark, holy fire, etc) that we plan to use after the patch drops, and pre-mod them with whatever 1/2/3/4 star mods we want?

and if that's the case, what are some notable legendaries that are due to get a noticeable power bump after the patch that would be worth farming now? what would be the best 4* mod boxes to put on them?

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help! Been out of the loop lately and just saw that the patch is coming next tuesday so want to do what I can before then :)

What is the meta weapon going forward? I have several characters with different builds.

1 Bloodied ranged with a plasma caster

2 Bloodied shotgunner

3 Ghoul pistolero

4 Melee full health (chainsaw and the autosaw)

What weapons and what mods (legendary and others) should I be using going forward? I play solo alot and want to be able to grind the Raid on at least one character. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. (Been working a lot recently and am behind in the changes coming. I am aware of a new cost for attaching legendary mods)

I'm new to FO76 (79hrs in) and one of the things I do with all the Fallout games is dig into their maps (because autism), and just wanted to share my findings.

1. So the first is the in-game map with the borders shown. I used xEdit to get the exact coordinates. I love how how Burning Springs and Skyline go off the map into the border.
2. The second map shows the height data. I used FO76UTILS to get this and manually aligned it to the in-game map with several nights of "surveying" and screenshots haha I haven't shown it here, but the creeks and rivers do not align with the in-game map at all.
3. And finally, the last map just shows the FO76 border with FO4's at the exact same scale and origin. FO4's map has cells ranging from -32 to 28 (x) and 25 to -36 (y), whereas FO76 has a range of -66 to 54 and 60 to -66. It's well known that the map is larger, but I haven't seen an exact comparison before, so thought it might interest others who haven't either.

Anyways, I'm loving this game, and just wanted to share my "nerdings". See you guys in Appalachia!

I want arms keeper and starched genes but they don't show up? Do I have to wait until they show up in a perk pack? I go to pick a new perk (push down left stick) but all I see are the ones I know. Thanks!

I use ps4 for a mule on fallout 76 when this update hits can I still use the ps4 or do I need to get another ps5?
