Fallout 76 wants you to use nuclear weapons to your heart's content

Today, Bethesda shared more than details about Fallout 76's nuclear weapons. While veterans of the series might recognize them from Fallout 4, they're quite different in a multiplayer setting. For example, at present you tin find launch codes, and employ ballistic missiles on fellow survivors or pesky mutants to gain rare irradiated resource.

Equally expected, the publisher released a hilarious "vintage" video detailing nuclear weapons and how they affect gameplay. While the video features a lot of exaggeration, normal players volition more often than not come up across launch codes by killing enemies. However, sometimes launch codes are incomplete so you'll have to work with others to find a complete set in order to trigger a weapon. Communicating with other players is necessary if yous have a common enemy.

Fallout 76 is expected to launch on November fourteen, 2022, starting at $59.99 on Xbox One and other platforms. Fifty-fifty though Fallout 76 is entirely online, information technology isn't a massively multiplayer online game. At any given time you lot'll be playing with dozens of people, not thousands. It'southward similar to titles like Anthem and Destiny 2, and focuses on emergency gameplay.

If you don't like playing with other gamers, you tin as well feel the title on your own. However, it's much easier if you lot have assist, peculiarly when it comes to gathering resource and building circuitous structures. It's unclear how this unmarried-actor option works because, supposedly, "every other character yous encounter is a real player."
