Is Fallout 76 Worth Playing in 2024?

I installed the game upon learning there was an Assaultron in Fishnets in the Battle Pass, and for about a week and a half, I grinded the hell out of it. When I finally unlocked her, I almost immediately dropped the game. Just nice to have her around when I may or may not get into it for real.

Honestly, I love the fact that after level 25, you can change your special around. For free as many times as you want. As someone who doesn't know what they want to do. It's nice to know that I'm not stuck with what I picked as I leveled up in the beginning.

76 is probably one and maybe the first fallout game that make you afraid of your own power armor, not because it has any negative when wearing it, it just it a dice roll if you gonna just get in and be on your merry way or you get stuck on the animation until you aft F4 the game.

[@eldonb5131]

I've only seen this happen if you try and get in your PA on uneven ground. And if you wait a minute after a delay the game will put you in. No need to alt F4.

[@nkosig4995]

I'm surprised you didn't touch factions that much like the settlers, raiders and even union fanatics and responders are pretty well developed, at least more than fallout 4. Factions feel realistic and are more organized and realistic. Each one trying to expand and grow to survive

Especially the brotherhood where there is a divide between both sides on how they should be operating in the Appalachia.🐱

[@Jonnyguitar1877]

I really like it now. I have done everything I can in all the other games and I’m glad I have this a chance cause it there are so many quest lines that are new and Appalachia is beautiful in game. It’s always crazy seeing a level 776 player run up to you and drop so much stuff that you can hardly carry it all. I was expecting to get killed 😂

[@JoeRowland90]

It's great. Not the "classic" Fallout experience obviously. I really just like the universe of Fallout. I am not partial to any particular game, I think all of it is fun and interesting. For a multiplayer sandbox/themepark style game, it's about as close to Fallout as that could ever be.

[@tigeryumyums9407]

The most frustrating thing for me with engine instability and buggy NPCs is the escort quest in The Most Sensational Game expedition. That fucking escort lags out, stands still, glitches or stalls so often that it's not uncommon to lose the 15 minute objective due to the NPC literally not responding.

[@WAFFENFABRIK]

This happens so often that I usually just exit and restart the Expedition if it gives me an escort. I doubt they actually have quality assurance or playtesters at this point in development tbh.

[@yoursister4701]

I dont hate the atomic shop its the reason why EVERY content update is free. You can earn them too and its better then paying for every update like destiny

[@RandomWandrer]

This. Anyone who complains about FO1st or the Atomic shop should be grateful to paying players for covering the costs, otherwise everyone would have to pay something each month.

[@lucifer0247]

Regarding the PowerArmorstand, it is kinda integrated into the mainquestline. At the Time you are in the Area with the molemen, you gonna have the firebreather quest, in that Quest you can gather a load of Black Titanium inside that mine. With that you will have no problem to build the Excavator Power Armor. By finishing that Quest you will get the Powerarmor stand. The Excavator suit is also the best Armor in the early to mid game, because of that 100+ Carry weight and some decent protection. Regarding Reparing, the Scorchqueen drops everytime you kill her like 7 advanced repairkits :D Those will repair Weapons for like 150+% condition. You can also skill the repairskill, on lv3 you will repair for 200% condition. There is also a luck skill, that has a chance to repair your guns if you shoot on enemies with it. If you want to farm certain resources, for example screws, do the Event with Al, all those wenidgo spawns drop like 6-7 screws. So you gonna get like easily 100-200 screws during just that one event.

[@TheBamaChad-W4CHD]

Of all the bugs you called out at the start I haven't experienced most of them personally. I play on Game Pass and PC. Undoubtedly your spawn point in camp can be manually set. I don't know how but i heard that recently. Now I regularly get npc's dying for no apparent reason. I have it happen constantly with certain areas. Like the lumber yard where all the Responders are. The one with Lane for the daily quests and not far from the Wayward and Vault 76. I'll walk up to it and everyone is shuffling around doing there thing and I'll use a bench to scrap and when I turn around everyone that's not essential is dead on the floors. I thought maybe they were being fragged by a high level sneaker or something but it happens on private as well as public servers. It happens quite a bit in that whole general area. Like the mine where all the blue ridge and Brahmin caravan stuff happens.

[@6march3]

You can change your spawn point by moving the camp module around. You basically gotta move it, fast travel to it and then find one that you like

[@TheBamaChad-W4CHD]

@@6march3 ah ok. Thanks!

[@agentnukaz1715]

As a new player lvl 80, i like the game since i came in with low expectations and knowing its not a true fallout game. performance can suck, some servers better then others it seems. quests have u got A to B to C to D back to A, the choices are ok at least some have a couple options. its rng therefore grindy. the world is nice and feels lived in. the map is good and exploration is good, variety of enemies is good, the game is like a fallout themed survival mmo rpg looter shooter. If u liked F4 on survival u will prob like it but the inventory management can rly suck when u wanna collect stuff. I do like the game but i cant say its not mid.

[@Vinicam]

I'm having a similar experience, although I'm now hitting more than 200 hours played and still haven't experienced everything the map has to offer or even done all the main questlines because I get so distracted building bases or doing events and expeditions with randoms. For the amount I paid this game is a gem, but like you said, I can't go around marketing it for everybody. lol

[@digitalphreak]

Important correction: You only need to be level **25** (not level 50) to visit a SPECIAL machine and reconfigure your points.

[@bonaelzee]

Accurate on that exploration. I been playing for a month & I spent the first 8 days just running around the map looting junk & new places. I’m glad I did because now I have the map memorized visually

As someone who likes base building, i dont mind the plans. I really enjoy getting plans i dont have at player vendors.

Fallout 76 has really upgraded. I played it when the game first came out, and it was full of glitches. This is my second time around, after five years, and it's definitely better.

[@Ssjgeek]

It’s insane how good the perk systems is n this game like when u say it out loud it sounds alright but actually playing it u have dam near unlimited freedom

[@-k-b-]

Fallout deserves a good game after 4 arguably being so buggy and vapid and honestly locked in as the nice guy. This game still doesn't seem much better than that game, and that's after years of updates where it was much worse and actually unplayable. Thank God the show was actually good and brought the series back into the limelight, I legit thought it was dead and that Bethesda through the body in an acid bath

[@qrowing]

Got it for $8 on sale shortly after the show dropped. Played the hell out of it for maybe 2 weeks, hit level 50, and dropped it. I was having a lot of fun reading notes and terminals, and listening to holotapes for a while there.. But man it started to get pretty old around level 40. Found myself spamming through terminal entries and notes rather than reading them after a certain point. Just like that it was "friendship ended with Fallout 76, now Dave the Diver is my best friend" Probably gonna stick my head in for the big Skylines update though.

[@MuscalityInObscurity]

I remember hours after release… the free pvp, hardcore mode. I never left my little corner of the a forest on the south end of the map. It was wonderful. It was the Wild West where I used high level scorchbeasts as a barrier between me and the other players that didn’t join my little commune in the forest. I let my friends go out and hunt for food because survival mechanics were mandatory.

[@agentnukaz1715]

That moment when the the world looks absolutely amazing and theres no lag is truly serene almost feels like a new game. I havent had most of those bugs, its mostly power armor bugs

U get a real Questline for Atlantic City if you find that family in the mountains. With them you travel to the set pieces of Atlantic City and do some interesting quests. (e.g cosplaying as clown to execute on of the Showmen lol) with the big Update in June Appalachia gets a big new Area in the South of Appalachia, with new Enemy Types and with a new Mainquestline involving Vault 63-. And new Bossfights with 3 colossal Robots at once. There are also more companions I think, I saw a named supermutant in one of the camps, also the Radio Guy or that retired writer are other companions you can add.

[@joshuabrown943]

I just finished my first play through of 4. Loved it but on the fence if I should upgrade ps plus to play new Vegas and 3 or give 76 a try?

[@LilBoTeeth]

I love New Vegas. 3 is really gritty but Liam Neeson is your dad! I would say New Vegas if you like choices and story or 76 if you like base building and friends! Fo3 has incredible dlc but the base game wasn't it for me.

[@Festive_Mike_Pence]

If you want to play a live service game that has been out for over 6 years and still get bored in less than a week you should definitely play Fallout 76. My favorite part about Fallout 76 is the $12.99/monthly pay to win service Bethesda Softworks calls "Fallout 1st". With Fallout 1st you can save stash space by moving all your junk and ammo (fusion and plasma cores not allowed) to separate containers that have no weight limit. Fallout 1st also grants you access to private worlds which trivializes workshops and challenges. I do not blame anyone for buying Fallout 1st because Bethesda Softworks makes Fallout 76 extremely tedious for those who do not buy Fallout 1st. Fallout 76 is an unfinished game and Bethesda uses Fallout 1st to balance the awful game play loops and mechanics. Please do not support the predatory business practices from Bethesda Softworks, It just makes video games worse for all of us that enjoy playing them.

[@Vinicam]

Fallout 1st has anything to do with pay-to-win. I was gladly playing and enjoying 150 hours of gameplay before deciding to but a month of Fallout 1st because I was getting more into base building and it adds convenience for those who like that aspect of the game. There's A LOT to criticize about the game, but it being P2W is not one of them.

[@TripleD3ez]

Yea it’s not pay to win buddy

[@egel7736]

After 4 years of absence, returning to this game I've never expected it to be so fun now and i forgot how beautiful the map is, easily the best map in all of Fallout games, it's definitely worth it now.

[@topcat59]

Honestly I quite enjoyed the building in this game more then F4, since it doesn’t restrict you on where you can build so you can have your camp be at any location you want it at and they give you a second camp if someone already built their camp on top of yours which is pretty nice.🐱

[@benlaws561]

My fallout 76 time has been very bug free actually, in fact i think I have only ran into 1 bug being a simple power armor bug where i sometimes get stuck into the armor, and its only crashed once. Note:I'm playing on a day 1 release xbox one, that almost died when i tried to play dead by daylight.

[@HeavenSent7]

Also you clearly don’t know what outfit you’re wearing, that’s not the Veteran NCR armor, that’s Ranger armor, just bog standard, not NCR and not the Veteran version. The vet version is in game but it’s worth 4000 atoms. The vet armor has more straps and parts to it. So if that’s why it’s not hitting for you it’s because your looking for the Veteran Ranger armor not the Ranger armor

[@danielserrano444]

They’ve worked on it over the years. The only issue that you will run into is running out of stuff to do. Other than the dailies and events which are repetitive. If you’re into that though then you’ll enjoy it. There is also a lot of options when it comes to building your camp. So if you like base crafting you’ll enjoy it also.

i played 76 for a few months on release and i had some fun with it, i also surprisingly experienced very few bugs, but it just didn't click with me, even with all the updates and NPCs being added and new world spaces, it just isn't worth the time investment, the games entire gameplay loop is grinding to be able to grind more, encountering other players is cool for novelty's sake, but it just feels pretty hollow and boring unless you're playing with a squad of friends, and i just generally hate full priced games that release completely broken and shallow before they monetize all the improvements and recycled cut content for the forseeable future.

Not only are you grinding out the treasury notes but then you’re grinding out just turning them in everyday, at 400 gold a day you’d have to play 8 days straight to get enough gold just for some calibrated shocks for the hellcat PA, it’s a little much

The biggest way to get rid of the grind is to let players grind gold 24/7?

@@TheFloodFourm it’s two separate grinds, you’re grinding the treasury notes then you’re grinding just turning in your daily limit. Should just be one grind or at least make the 2nd grind better by increasing the cap, like it’s seriously not that deep, there’s nothing wrong with allowing people to grind 1000 gold in one day and allowing them to buy one armor piece a day if they put in the work for it.
