Key changes in Wastelanders include:
- New Main Quest and Revised Original Main Quest – Players, alone or with friends, can discover the secrets of West Virginia in a brand new main quest, as well as a revised, original main quest. The quests are available as soon as players leave Vault 76. Whether you’re a veteran or a novice, new missions and locations are waiting to be explored as players battle side by side with (or against) new characters who have made their way to West Virginia.
- Human NPCs – Players can make friends with their new neighbors who want to rebuild the country and relive Appalachia through the eyes of its residents – or use them selfishly.
- New Creatures and Equipment – By killing new mutant creatures that invaded the region, players can earn even stronger weapons and armor.
- Decisions and Consequences – Classic dialogues give players new scope for action. The brand new reputation system affects decisions on the status of the different factions.
Fallout 76: Wastelanders will be free for all players.
