Bethesda has announced that the latest seasonal event has landed in Fallout 76. For the foreseeable future, FO76 players can take part in the annual event where extraterrestrials come for a “visit” and create havoc along the way.
Every hour, Alien Motherships will appear throughout the game world where they drop “Brainwave Siphons” that must be destroyed to complete the event. This will require a bit of strategy as each one is controlled by a force field and a different alien commander. If all three are destroyed within the allotted time, players will earn loot, XP, and plans to craft new alien weaponry and CAMP objects.
In addition, several updates have been deployed to FO Worlds in response to community feedback. Fallout 1st members will enjoy a number of new features including:
- Carry Weight: Adjust the Carry Weight setting to choose a specific maximum amount that a player can carry or use the Carry Weight Multiplier setting to adjust max weight.
- Frequent Confetti: The Dismemberment setting causes defeated enemies to explode into a cloud of confetti.
- Perk Effects: Choose whether players can benefit from Normal Perk effects, Legendary Perk effects, both, or neither with this setting.
- VATS: Turn off VATS targeting versus other players or even disable VATS entirely.
- Relaxed Building Restrictions: Adjust the “Toggle Snapping” option in build mode to place C.A.M.P. objects even if they intersect.
- Weather: Utilizing the Weather Setting brings the darkened skies from the Mothman Equinox Seasonal Event.
