Fallout 4

Fallout 76 has more stuff trying to kill you than ever before. It's not just the local mutated fauna as other players are likely to shoot first. You'll need good weapons to defend yourself: melee weapons, ranged weapons, maybe an explosive or two. Perhaps the only way to get an enemy off your back for good is to make them eat a Fat Man nuke.

Not even an apple a day can prevent mutations in Fallout 76. While the mutations here are hyper-unrealistic, you'll still need to take precautions to prevent them appearing or reverse any mutation you may contract. Some mutations are worth keeping though.

Building your own base in Fallout 76 requires you to use your "C.A.M.P." or the "Construction and Assembly Mobile Platform" (henceforth abbreviated to CAMP). As long as your CAMP is on a flat surface and not near any established buildings, you can build anything you have a recipe for. Workbenches are used to make and repair items, while boxes can be crafted to store all…

Power Armor, which is heavy plated apparel that makes you look like a space marine, can be found lying around in specific locations in Fallout 76. While most Power Armor has a standardised design there are some unique designs out there. So if you want to swagger into battle with Nuka Cola branded Power Armor, this is the place to learn where to find it.

After completing Fallout 76's Wastelanders quests, you'll be able to begin trading caps for gold bullion. This is so you can nab some plans and recipes to make a lot more useful things: weapon parts, armor parts; you name it, you can make it as long as you have the gold bullion to trade for the privilege.

In Fallout 76's Wasterlanders update, we finally got to see actual living people return to the region. Most are just regular guys and gals trying to make a living, but there are some that have banded together into factions: raiders and settlers. We'll go over everything we know about both of them here.

New to Fallout 76 with the Wastelanders update are human NPCs that roam the land. Some of them are allies that can be used to defend your CAMP and complete quests for them.

One of the more drastic changes in Fallout 76 is in it's revamp of how perks work. Instead of choosing one permanent skill at every level, you get perk cards that can be equipped at any time, upgraded to increase their effectiveness, and even shared with your buddies at any point provided you have the Charisma. There are a ton of these in the game,…

You'd imagine that diseases would be more of a problem in the Fallout universe prior to Fallout 76. After all, there are few doctors in the nuclear world of the Fallout universe and the apples are probably incredibly rotten or irradiated by now. But radiation poisoning is just one thing to be aware of now, as other nasty afflictions can include diseases.

It's easy to say that Fallout 76 didn't have the best of starts, but the game is now coming to Steam, along with the new Wastelanders update. If you have been holding off until now, we're here with out updated guides that explain a ton of changes that have come to this online game.It's likely that you won't be able to access the Wastelanders stuff until…

It seems that many open world games have treasure maps these days and Fallout 76 is no exception. You'll most likely find these by accident and should you follow the map to the corresponding mound, it will unearth some valuable treasure, including valuable weapons or armour, plans for said weapons or armour, and valuable rounds.

Fallout 76 is now back up and there have been a bunch of big changes. So we figured we'd keep a log of when it is going down and the changes that were made.  I've put together this page which will have any information regarding any planned maintenance days, along with all the times and dates in your area.

Fallout 76's magazines work in the same way that Bobbleheads do, but only in this game. Instead of being permanent upgrade, Magazines are now consumable temporary buffs that provide traits such as weapon specific boost or damage increased against certain enemies. Since they work slightly differently this time, there are more places that you can find them, this guide will have more on their locations,…

Fallout 76's Bobbleheads don't work the same as they once did, which has irked some people. They're now temporary buffs as opposed to permanent upgrades, though they still increase your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, or affect weapons used. Since they're more plentiful, there's a huge number of places where you can find them just lying around, so this guide will have more on their locations, exactly how…

Not that you'll be able to do this immediately, but there are times in Fallout 76 where someone does something that a mere bullet to the face just won't satisfy your bloodlust. This may be a player  repeatedly killing you and your friends, stealing your magazine that you spent hours hunting for, or just wrecking your workshop that you recently fortified. Tempers therefore may be frayed…

Fallout 76's unique selling point is that this is a multiplayer Fallout game, though really it's more than that. You have plenty of stuff that you can do on your own, but there are a few tasks that may be a ton easier with up other people. It could be a case of jolly cooperation or a fight to the death. This guide will show…

Appalachia is full of stories and legends, mostly ones involving monsters that lurk in the trees: The Grafton monster, Mothman, and the Snallygaster. Fallout 76 includes these alongside the standard fare of Super Mutants and Deathclaws to make for a rather terrifying roster of monsters. Don't even get me started on why the Scorchbeast may be the most difficult enemy to take down. In this…

Some of the quests in Fallout 76 can be completed once a day, with the chance to snag some sweet rewards. There are conditions to unlock these quests however, so it's worth seeing which quests are required to be completed, which NPCs talked to, or indeed where to go in order to start the quest you want for the gear you want. This quest will…

Fallout 76 has certain quests that appear seemingly at random but can contain some of the best items available in the game. Since they're all repeatable, it can be worth completing certain quests again and again until you manage to snag that coveted item you've always wanted. This guide will go over all the event quests in Fallout 76, including the ones that give out…

Fallout 76 introduces Atoms for the first time. These are meta-currency that you can exchange in Bethesda's in-game store for cosmetic items and are normally obtained either by exchanging real-world money, or by completing challenges. Since there are an awful lot of challenges in the game, some of which have multiple tiers, it can be a little daunting to figure out which challenges to go…
