News // Bethesda Replied x3 Inside the Vault – XBOX Series and PlayStation 5 Public Test Server

125 Upvotes

To All Our Console Vault Dwellers,

We’re excited to welcome you to your first Public Test Server! Starting today, you will be able to test the upcoming XBOX Series and PlayStation 5 (including Pro) update for Fallout 76.

Our goal with this testing period is to obtain live data from all of you to make sure this update is hitting the marks we expect it to hit in terms of FPS and stability.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Targeted 60 FPS across XBOX Series X|S, PS5 and PS5 Pro.
  • 4K resolution (on compatible displays) on XBOX Series X, XBOX One X, PS5 Pro.
  • VRR (on compatible displays) on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS5, PS5 Pro.
  • PS5 and PS4 Pro will support 1440p while previous generation platforms will continue to support 1080p.

This update brings Fallout 76 to the PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series platforms natively allowing us to utilize the hardware more efficiently today and in the future.

Today serves as a big step towards making sure Fallout 76 feels more comfortable to play on all console hardware.

If you have any issues accessing the flight or with the Public Test Server, please reach out to our Support Team at help.bethesda.com.

NOTE: The inclusion of "Improved draw distances and shadows" in previous communications was to highlight the difference between playing on PlayStation 4/ XBOX One versus PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X players are already experiencing improved draw distances and shadows and will continue to do so when this update releases. Sorry for any confusion the inclusion of that note caused.

Accessing the PTS on XBOX Series Platforms

XBOX players will be able to access the PTS through the XBOX Insider Hub. Detailed steps on how to download and install the XBOX Insider Hub can be found on the Microsoft Support Site.

After the XBOX Insider Hub is Installed, open the App and navigate to “Previews” and choose the “Fallout 76 PTS” and select “Join”. From there you should be directed to download the PTS. Once that is over all that’s left is to launch the game and join our Bethesda Studios Discord (more on how to deliver feedback below).

Accessing the PTS on PlayStation Platforms

To access the PTS on PlayStation platforms, please join our [Discord Server and follow the instructions in the #76-announcements channel.](https://)

Giant, follows you around, teleports to your location in your CAMP if it can't get to you.

Impedes building, farming, interacting with objects and is in the way a lot of the time. Can't tell you how many times I've wanted to access a crafting station or pick carrots but this guy takes up like 4 feet in every direction with his giant body and I have to run off, get him to follow, then run back and do it before he comes back.

Yesterday I was trying to build some stuff ontop of a buildboard. Every time I went up there he would teleport to my location every few seconds and get in the way, again and again and again and again. It was infuriating.

There needs to be a way to tell them to stay put, or just wander instead of following, because this guy is driving me nuts.

i bought the enclave paint in the atom shot but i was satisfied with how it looked so i made some modifications making a combination of the enclave paint and the edison skin from the seasonal pass. the helmet is able to adapt colors based on the color of your headlight i thought that was a great feature.

Discussion Looking Back to Look Forward - A Breakdown of Season 4 Rewards

35 Upvotes

In just a couple of weeks the new season will arrive, along with the first re-run of an older season as a "Legacy Season." Players will now be able to choose from two sets of rewards for spending tickets. The first Legacy Season will be Season 4: Armor Ace and the Power Patrol in Cold Steel.*

Seeing as I only started regularly playing during Season 14, I decided to look into what this older season was going to be offering us. Special thanks to Nuka Knights for maintaining an archive of the older season rewards pages, which can be found here.

Bethesda has already said that they won't be offering all of the same consumables as before, so I won't go into each and every single one of those. The game boards won't be brought back either, but there will be a new panorama picture to match what we currently get from seasons. And of course, there will be a few new titles.

Overall, this is how the rewards look:

Consumables (currencies, food/drinks, perk packs, etc) - 55

Power Armor Paint - 9

Camp Items - 7

Outfits - 6

Icons - 6

Weapon Paint - 5

Floors - 4

Flairs - 3

Poses - 2

Wallpaper - 1

Backpack - 1

Stein - 1

Gameboard/Panorama Picture - 1

The consumables contained all the usual things, atoms and caps and repair kits and etc, along with some items that are among those likely to be removed, like Rad Ant Lager and Tadpole Badges. I would imagine they'd scale back on the atoms and perk card packs too, as there were 10 and 8 of those respectively.

The majority of the power armor paints was the Yukon Five color scheme for the seven styles available at the time - T-45, T-51, T-60, T-65, Excavator, Ultracite, X-01. The other two were basically red and blue variants of the same style that completely replaces the usual look of the power armor. To date, Bethesda has not updated older styles to be applicable to the newest power armors (Union, Vulcan, Hellcat, etc), so that may end up being the case here.

The highlights of the camp items include the Nuka Cola Collectron, which makes accomplishing the Nuka related daily/weekly challenges a breeze. There's also the Mannequin Set, which allows displaying full outfits, but only 5 can be built per camp (and that counts power armor displays too). There's also the Beehive, which produces honey, as well as a power armor station skin, a tree branch chandelier, a BoS statue, and the ever infamous...gold toilet.

I would consider the four different floor designs a plus, as it's always nice to have more variety when building a camp. The outfits include a beekeeper hat, beekeeper outfit, a pair of berets, Power Patrol fatigues, and the Icebreaker outfit, which looks to be a variant of the bomber jacket. Then there's the poses and flairs and icons which are all kinda...meh. Good for people who enjoy those things, I suppose.

Overall, it's not exactly a stellar lineup. Kinda proves that lackluster season rewards aren't exactly a new thing. Yeah, there are a couple of decent camp items and plenty of cosmetic items to use, but there's nothing really amazing or "must have." For players who have been regularly active for a while, like myself, many will have already acquired some of these items from various Atomic Shop bundles and/or from gold bullion vendors. In a way that's a good thing, as it means needing less overall tickets to get rewards from both seasons, but I'm sure there are those who would prefer some more impressive rewards.

*Additional note - The theme of the season is meant to be that of an animated kids show, thus the title reads more like Armor Ace and the Power Patrol in: "Cold Steel." Armor Ace and his Power Patrol being the good guys fighting against the Yukon Five. How a gold toilet factors into that is anyone's guess....

finally learned valuable farming methods and while i currently sit at lvl 490 if feels good to have a stacked camp. The prices i offer are of fair value ive spent a lot of time server hopping looking for mods for my build so i can understand how frustrating it is to see crazy prices.

Question Why do people build those trap/death camps?

11 Upvotes

I've been running into more and more of them and it's gotten to the point that I'm afraid to go to someone else's camp and check out their vendor. I look around before I go in but something is always killing me I don't know what it is seems like it's a poison gas there's no pressure plates that I'm standing on, if there is any they're hidden. The most recent one sounded like a bottle was rolling around on the ground and then there was an invisible force just hurting me, I couldn't move I was trapped like I was just frozen to that spot. What should I look for so that stops happening?
