Fallout 76 is an online prequel where every surviving human is a real person. Work together, or not, to survive. Under the threat of nuclear annihilation, you'll experience the largest, most dynamic world ever created in the legendary Fallout universe.
Reclamation Day, 2102. Twenty-five years after the bombs fall, you and your fellow Vault Dwellers — chosen from the nation's best and brightest — emerge into post-nuclear America. Play solo or join together as you explore, quest, build, and triumph against the wasteland's greatest threats.
Welcome back to another Inside the Vault!
If you’ve been waiting to dive into the Public Test Server to try our “Locked and Loaded” update for Fallout 76, then we’re pleased to announce that we’re bringing the PTS online. In addition, we’re excited to share that this update is currently slated to launch on April 27.
For those of you who play Fallout 76 on PC through Bethesda.net, we would love to see you in the PTS for another round of playtesting, feedback, and bug reporting on new features, like S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts, C.A.M.P. Slots, the Daily Ops expansion, and more. Thank you once again for your patience while we worked to implement these features and ensure that they’re ready for you to check them out.
Earn a PTS Pennant for Your C.A.M.P.
Don’t forget, you can earn a new PTS-themed Pennant for your C.A.M.P. in the live version of Fallout 76 by playing the Test Server. Make sure to play for at least one hour per day on three different days while the PTS is online, and we’ll add the Pennant to your account shortly after we release our next game update.
Once you’ve had the chance to playtest the new features, be sure to stop by the PTS forum to share your thoughts and experiences with us.

Slots and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts will work, and to hear thoughts from the team during the development process.
Get ready to plan out new builds for your characters and design an all-new Appalachian abode because, as mentioned above, S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Loadouts and C.A.M.P. Slots are going to arrive at the end of April. We can’t wait to see all of your latest architectural masterpieces and character designs once you get ahold of these new features!
Key Features:
- You will Emerge! Multiplayer finally comes to the epic, open-world RPG. Create your character with the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system and forge a path in an untamed wasteland with hundreds of locations. Whether you journey alone or with friends, a new Fallout adventure awaits.
- Mountain Splendorland! All-new graphics, lighting and landscape technology brings to life six distinct West Virginia regions. From the forests of Appalachia to the noxious crimson expanses of the Cranberry Bog, each region offers its own risks and rewards. Post-nuclear America has never looked so beautiful!
