In case you missed it, last week at the Tokyo Game Show we announced the date for Atlantic City – Boardwalk Paradise! Cash in your chips, the casino opens on **December 5th!** Atlantic City brings with it new locations, factions, quests, enemies, rewards, and more!

There is a lot to talk about when it comes to Atlantic City, so much in fact that we broke this update into two separate releases, and this first release on December 5 into two separate Developer Deep Dives. For those who are subscribed to our YouTube channel, you can expect these videos on October 2 and October 5.

Alternatively, you can keep this article bookmarked, which will be updated with the videos as they are published.




Eager travelers don't have to wait long to experience what the Boardwalk has to offer! Starting October 3, the first release of Atlantic City content will be available to play on our Public Test Server.

There is more to our December update than Atlantic City. We've continued to improve upon the early game experience for new players and want to hear your feedback on the changes! Starting September 28th, our Public Test Server will open to all PC players who own a copy of Fallout 76 on steam.

This iteration of the PTS will not have any character imports initially. Getting your feedback on a fresh character waking up in the Vault is what we are focused on here.

"But what about Atlantic City?" You ask. On October 3rd, we will update the PTS build to include not only Atlantic City content for our December update, _but also the ability to change the weather in your C.A.M.P!_ For now, you will have two different weather settings to play around with... for now.




Calling all ghosts, goblins and ghouls!

Halloween is almost upon us, and it's time to get your C.A.M.Ps and shelters ready for the spooky season.

From October 2 to October 27, we invite you to submit your boo-tiful photos of your shelters decked out and ready for haunting – err...celebrating. After the submission period ends on October 27, we'll select 10 finalists and invite everyone in the community to vote on their favorite shelter or C.A.M.P. Winners will be announced on October 31.

No tricks, just treats – the top 5 shelters or C.A.M.P.s will be granted Atoms for their winning submissions.

• First Place: 7600 Atoms
  
• Second and Third Place: 5000 Atoms
  
• Fourth and Fifth Place: 2000 Atoms

We'll share the submission link on our social media and Official Discord with the rules and regulations October 2. We also encourage you to share images and videos of your creepy C.A.M.P.s and Shelters in our Discord! You may even get your C.A.M.P. featured on our social media!

We can't wait to see your fang-tastic creations!




5 years of Fallout 76, and what a wild journey it's been!

To celebrate our upcoming 5th Anniversary, we want to hear about your favorite memories and experiences in the wasteland! Share your stories on our Official Discord in the #AdventuresinAppalachia channel by October 31 for a chance to be featured in an article on our website.

Submissions should be no more than 500 words, and if you have screenshots of your favorite memories, please share them, too!




This weekend, get a boost to your Scoreboard progress, and stock up on resources! We've got three great weekend events for you.

All Weekend Events start and end at 12:00 pm ET

[h5] September 28 – October 2 [/h5]

Double Score: Earn double the Score on all Daily Challenges in all game modes!

Scrip Surplus: Earn up to double the amount of Daily Scrip! (1,000 Scrip)

Gold Rush: Earn up to double the amount of Daily Gold Bullion from Treasury Machines. (800 Gold Bullion)

Until next time, we'll see you in Appalachia!

Grahm and his trusty friend Chally the Moo-Moo are headed to the Forest to host the greatest summer Bar – B - Que ever! They just need your help with a few last-minute party preparations to get this party started.


Grahm needs some cuts of Prime Meat to cook up and has set up lures to draw the game out for easy pickings! Every 15 minutes, three Primal Cuts events will appear in three different regions of Appalachia at once. Take down the creatures that answer Grahm's lure and harvest their Prime Meat! There's even some scrip in it for you when you return to Grahm's Meat Cook!




At the top of the hour, every hour, Grahm kicks off his famous Meat Cook event! Head over to his party location in The Forest and roll up your sleeves! There is still work to do for this party.

Every hour, at the top of the hour, Grahm and Chally will appear just south of Vault 76 in the Forest to kick off Grahm's Meat-Cook. Throughout the event, they'll need a few helping hands to host a successful shindig. Work together with other party guests to turn the meat spits, play a few tunes on the drums, clean up after Chally, and put out any fires that spring up, among other activities. The more successful the Meat-Cook, the better your chances of earning new rare rewards, like the Punty Pig Plushie, Stuffed Mutant Hound and more!



Don't forget to fork over the Prime Meat you've collected to Grahm, because he's happy to share some Legendary Scrip with you as payment for your efforts.

We hope you're hungry, because this celebration of all things meat is returning for two full weeks, starting at 12:00 p.m. ET on August 29, and lasting until September 12.

Our latest update for Fallout 76 launches today, and it's bringing a brand-new season, new Perk Cards, and more. Read on for a full list of patch notes for today's update.

  UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS
  
  
  Once in a Blue Moon
  
  
  
  
  
  The Blue Ridge Caravan is back and needs your help with its expanding business! Our Once in a Blue Moon update introduces two new Cryptids, Public Events, Side Quests, Rewards, a Daily Ops Mutation, and more.
  
  
  New Public Events
  
  Vinny Costa, head of operations for the Blue Ridge Caravan Company is impatient with the members of the caravan, believing they're not pulling their own weight and contributing enough. Work with the caravan members to get them back up to speed and earn some sweet Blue Ridge Caravan-themed items as a reward!
  
  [h4] Beasts of Burden [/h4]
  
  After a trade deal goes wrong, Luca Costa finds himself in need of some help. A group of local Cultists has stolen his Brahmin and cargo of makeshift explosives. His Uncle Vinny will not be happy if he catches wind of it. The problem is, he's too injured to get his supplies himself!
  
  Guided by Luca through a two-way radio, you'll need to infiltrate the Cultist's den, lay down explosives, and reclaim his pack Brahmin! Be extra careful not to disturb the local wildlife, however, as Cultists have recently noticed strange rumblings in the woods nearby.
  
  [h4] Safe and Sound [/h4]
  
  Blue Ridge has renovated the Middle Mountain Cabins to be their latest and greatest Brahmin pitstop, but they just can't seem to keep the local critters at bay. The Repeller Speaker system they use to repel the creatures and keep their Brahmin safe has been damaged. To retake the pitstop and create a safe haven for their Brahmin to rest, they will need your help! Clear out the creatures, defend the Repeller, and the Blue Ridge Caravan will reward you handsomely for your assistance!
  
  
  Costa Business Daily Quests
  
  Resident grouch and taskmaster, Vinny Costa, hasn't been happy with the performance of his employees lately, and he'd be happy to throw some caps at anyone willing to solve the problem. Players can learn all about what has the caravanners' boots stuck in the mud, and collect some unique rewards along the way, in this series of one-off Daily Quests. Unlike other Dailies, players will only be able to complete this series of 7 quests once, but each has a unique Blue Ridge-themed reward, ranging from C.A.M.P. items to outfits.
  
  [h4] Unmasking the Myth [/h4]
  
  Longtime players that have completed content from all over 76's history may find a special side quest waiting for them after completing all of the Costa Business quests...

  Cryptozoologists rejoice! Our two new Public Events introduce The Blue Devil and Ogua, two Cryptids based in real West Virginian folk lore.

  Based on the real-life West Virginian Cryptid, this massive dog-like creature will test your wits! Its terrifying howl will send your character into a panicked mad dash for the Vault!
  
  [h4] Ogua [/h4]
  
  Also known in real life as the Monongahela River Monster, this reclusive creature will retreat into its shell to shield itself from incoming damage, be sure to time your attacks carefully!

  Design Changes and Improvements
  
  We've made a number of gameplay design changes and improvements, from removing Fuel costs for Expeditions to adding in more detailed weapon and mod descriptions so you can better cater your build for your unique playstyle.
  
  
  Expeditions
  
  Following player feedback, we have made adjustments to Expeditions and their associated Daily Fuel Quests.
  
  
• Removed Ultracite Battery Charge: Players are no longer required to complete Fuel Quests to launch an Expedition as a Team Leader with a fully charged Ultracite Battery. Instead, players can start an Expedition at any time and still be eligible to receive the maximum Mission Rewards.
  
• Ultracite Battery Charge is no longer a currency that is granted or tracked on the player.
  
• Fuel Quests No Longer Mandatory: All three Fuel Quests are now Daily Quests. Only one Fuel Daily Quest will be active per day.
  
• Rewards have been updated to be more in line with other Dailies.
  
• Reduced Stamp Costs: We have reduced the Stamp cost from Giuseppe on items.
  
• Ashes to Fire now grants an increased number of Stamps and Legendary Items in its rewards.
  
  
  Weapon and Armor Descriptions
  
  We have overhauled the way weapon and armor information is displayed both in the inspect menu and the workbench menus. Descriptions of items and their mod properties are now more specific to the numerical changes in stats, making it easier for you to cater your build to your specific playstyle.
  
  
• Gameplay Settings: We've added the ability to turn Advanced Mod descriptions ON or OFF. By default, this setting is set to OFF.
  
  
  Item View and Inspection
  
  
• AP cost, Fire Mode (Single/Automatic/Charging), Ammo Capacity, and Damage Over Time effects are now shown.
  
• We've added new icons to replace the + and – indicators when crafting new items.
  
• Changes when modding are now color coded.
  
• Set Bonuses now have an icon indicator next to the effect description.
  
• Legendary effects now have the Legendary Star icon next to the effect description.
  
• Extra effects not normally shown elsewhere are now displayed below the Legendary Effects.
  
• Dynamic values of some effects have been added to show the current bonus.
  
  
  Balance
  
  
• The Bleedout Syringer Barrel now deals physical damage instead of poison.
  
• Burning mods for Energy Weapons now deal fire damage.
  
• We've adjusted the Two Shot Legendary Mod to deal its bonus damage more similarly to energy weapons. This is to keep the damage more in-line with one another.
  
  
  Additional Design Changes and Improvements
  
  
• Contextual Ammo: Contextual Ammo has been adjusted to more closely match ammo counts for Daily Ops and Expeditions, better accommodate some weapons which consume a lot of ammo, and provide more ammo for Non-Expeditions/Daily Ops ("open world") in certain level ranges where enemies are proportionally hardier and more difficult to kill.
  
• This fix also increases the rate of Fusion and Plasma Cores that drop in the Open World.
  
• Fanfare: We have moved the Legendary Item fanfare to no longer be in the center of the screen.
  
• PlayStation: We've updated the Default Controller layout for PlayStation users. The Map is now opened with the touch pad and the POV can be changed using the Options button.
  
• Resets: During daylight savings, Vendors now update their inventory at the same time as challenges at 11 am CT. (Note: Outside of Daylight savings, the reset will happen at 12 pm CT.)
  
• Settings: We've added a setting to enable and disable weapon muzzle flash effects.
  
• Settings: We've also added a setting for VATS targeting for Grenades and Mines. Players can now choose to target all, just the player's, or none.
