xploring the charred wastelands of Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic role-playing games has always
been a strictly solitary pastime. But in the online world of Fallout 76’s West Virginia, your friends fi nally get to join the party. So, once you’ve created your character and left the protection of your underground vault,
survival becomes a truly social endeavour.
That’s because every human you encounter out in the Virginian wasteland is actually another player. Some
might want to team up and help you hunt radioactive beasties, or construct
elaborate settlements using the game’s expanded crafting and building systems. Others, meanwhile, might want to tear you limb from irradiated limb. The joke’s on them, though, because Fallout 76
penalises murderous players by placing handsome bounties on their heads. So, if you kill indiscriminately, you may soon fi nd that the entire server is out for your blood. That’ll teach ya.
Share it up, tear it up That doesn’t mean that Fallout
76 tries too hard to steer players towards pacisifi sm. In fact, the game’s most explosive new feature is the ability to launch nuclear missiles from silos dotted around the ionised open world. You won’t be able to just fi re off
warheads willy-nilly, though.
Instead, you’ll have to explore the wasteland and battle its inhabitants to
uncover a series of launch keys before you can push the nuclear button. Keys in hand, you can then make the world- changing decision of where to deliver your atomic payload. We’d advise
