The latest update for Fallout 76, Burning Springs, has just been revealed.
Fallout 76’s largest update since 2020, Burning Springs introduces players to an arid and charred region of post-nuclear Ohio, complete with new factions, challenges, unique weapons and gear, and even new fish to catch. This map includes new characters like the Rust King, an intelligent Super Mutant who players will need to work with across Burning Springs, as well as locations, public events, workshops, and even a wild local menace called the Rad Hog, which can become a C.A.M.P. Pet for those brave enough to tame it. This update features something for every type of player, from new mechanics for seasoned survivors, easier entry points for fresh-faced newcomers, and exciting events for all.
Journey across a war-torn desert landscape, battle vicious Deathclaws and bloodthirsty raiders, and take on bounties from The Ghoul, voiced by Walton Goggins reprising his role from Amazon Prime’s Fallout series.
Through rewards, players can even equip themselves with The Ghoul’s gun as seen in the show. Go on a daring adventure with Bounty Hunting, a new series of missions from The Ghoul. New bounties will always be rolling in, so players should check with The Ghoul often to pick up the latest bounties – and their rewards upon completion, of course. While not available as a playable character or companion, players can encounter The Ghoul at “The Last Resort” in Highway Town and see which of the many wanted folk in Burning Springs will be the next target.
