Fallout 76 Events Are Like Timed Multiplayer Quests, Says Bethesda

3.9
Fallout 76 is certainly not going to be short on content. Other than a main quest, the game’s going to have plenty of other activities for players to take part in, according to Bethesda. One of these things will be events, a kind of activity that is new to Fallout but fans of titles like Destiny would be quite familiar with.

Game Informer recently posted a pretty meaty, lengthy article on Fallout 76, and revealed a lot of new details on the game. One of these things were Events, which, apparently, will be timed multiplayer quests. Some events will appear in randoms times and places, while others will be exclusive to very specific spots on the map at very specific times. Discover an event once, and you can fast travel to it, and tackling them is encouraged, too- according to project lead Jeff Gardiner, these quests reward players with the best loot.

How will these events play out, though? Gardiner gave an example of an event players might come across in the game. “You’ll get a call about robots in distress, and you basically have to go and escort them to various locations,” he said. “If they live in the end, you get a reward. That’s a random [event] that will spawn. Some people will join you or not. The robots have a lot of character, and they are sort of the levity [of the mission]. You’ll follow along and they’ll make little comments to you.”

Recently, details on base building and how it will work in Fallout 76 were also revealed. Read more on that through here. The game launches on November 14 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

ScottTTG Is it comfirmed that F76 is an MMO or is single player a thing?


Most likely going to be a MMO with the way they've been wording things. Just need to know whether it's going to be like ESO or not.

Good way of doing things if they do it right. Looking forward to how these idea's pan out.

I'm just questioning how this is gonna work exactly, will it be like Destiny 2 and if so why have Bethesda waited so long to do this with Fallout

WoobiePosted:

If this is similar to how Destiny 2 works that would be cool

Can't wait to see how this works, Fallout 76 continues to make me question the fallout series as a whole. Will this work and if it does, why have they waited so long..?

I'm hoping the events are similar to what Assassin's Creed: Origins did for their in game events, requiring either a certain level to be reached as well as ensuring the quests don't interfere with the main story.

An interesting take for the Fallout franchise, only time will tell how this will actually turn out though. Would be nice if they include a few of these events in the BETA to give players a feel of what's to come
