Fallout

Game developer Bethesda has doubled down on the horrendous Fallout 76 by launching Fallout First, a $100 annual service that provides private servers and some less sought after features.

The main feature being offered here is private servers, which allow players to get in on private games with a few of their friends. The service also offers a survival tent that allows players to set a fast travel point, as well as a scrapbox where you can store unlimited amounts of materials. Bethesda will also give you 1,650 Atoms per month, a ranger armor skin, and additional icons and emotes.

While the private servers have been something that players have been craving, it appears that the other features are being put in to try to justify the very high price. Players who don’t want to pump in $100 for a year of the service can opt for a $12.99 per month subscription, but players and industry journalists seem to be in lockstep in thinking that the price is absurd.

Additionally, it

The Fallout 76 beta period has now started. Players on the Xbox One, PC and PS4 have been able to get online over the past few days to test out Fallout 76 for the first time.

Bethesda has chosen to do a different testing schedule than typical, however, making it more difficult to log in and play at various times.

Here is a look at the upcoming schedules for Fallout 76’s beta stage up until November 4.

● October 30: US Pacific - 4PM - 8PM
● November 1: US Pacific - 11AM - 4PM
● November 2: No servers live
● November 3: US Pacific - 2PM - 6PM
● November 4: US Pacific - 11AM - 6PM

The best time to get a lengthy play session during these dates is November 4. The beta will continue to run up until November 14. Bethesda will be publishing the times their betas go live on their social media accounts.

The reason why Bethesda is running small tests like this is because they want to stress test the servers under different conditions. The

Are you looking forward to Fallout 76? If you are, you’ll want to take a read through this article.

Bethesda has just pushed out a bunch of new details about Fallout 76 ahead of the upcoming beta period. We’ll be sharing all of the new information in this article.

Firstly, it’s been confirmed that the beta will start on October 23 for Xbox One players and October 30 for PC and PS4 players. The beta will be live most days for roughly 4-8 hours each day.

What’s incredible is that the beta will run all the way up to a few days before the release date, which is on November 14. You must pre-order to get into the beta, but your progress made in the beta will carry on over to the full release.

We also now know that the player count will be between 12 and 36, but the final number still hasn’t been revealed.

There will be quests and objectives just like in Fallout 4, as well as dozens of different enemy NPCs to kill. There won’t be any human NPCs to interact with,

We have finally been given more information about the upcoming Fallout 76 beta across all platforms.

Bethesda has revealed some details about the beta and when we can expect to get access to it. Take a look at what we now know below.

Bethesda has announced that the Fallout 76 beta will come to the Xbox One first on October 23. One week later, the beta will be available for PlayStation 4 and PC players.

Bethesda has made it very clear that while they are excited to show people Fallout 76 for the first time, the beta is designed to be a stress test. As a result, the servers may go down, they may break, and there may be performance issues.

Bethesda also said that the servers will be going online at targeted timeframes so that Bethesda can get as many people online at once.

Bethesda says they will reveal the live server times at a later point, but the servers will be live between four and eight hours at a time.

What's exciting is that the beta will

The debut DLC for Fallout 4 is now available. Named Automatron, the first DLC comes as part of the $50 season pass but it can also be picked up for $10 as standalone content. The DLC features a new set of quests that put the player against a mysterious character named the Mechanist. Players will be forced to fight against all sorts of aggressive robots and they'll also have the pleasure of taking down Robobrain, a robot boss character.

As you take down more robots throughout the Automatron quest line, you'll unlock new items that you'll be able to use to build your very own robot. There are apparently dozens of different limbs, armor pieces, paint jobs, voices, weaponry and ability mods to choose from, allowing you to create your very own unique robot companion.

Hopefully the content in Automatron will last most players throughout the rest of March because the second DLC, which is named Wasteland Workshop, will be available at some point in April. The third DLC will also be

If you've been following the development of Fallout 4 then you'll know that Bethesda has a lot of great plans for the game in the near future. Whilst Bethesda will be releasing their own additional content throughout the next year, Bethesda also want to open up new content potential via community mod support.

Not only will Fallout 4 receive mod support on the PC but for the first time mod support will also be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In the past we had no idea about when mod support will arrive for Fallout 4 but Bethesda has recently spoken up about their plans. Todd Howard at Bethesda recently revealed that the PC mod support should be released soon and the consoles should follow after everything has been shown to work smoothly on the PC.

Mod support should hopefully be launched between the first and second DLC packs for Fallout 4.

In an interview with GameInformer, Howard mentioned that their "Goal is between the first two DLCs. It'll go up at that time

Fallout 4 is absolutely huge - it's definitely going to take a good hundred hours to squeeze all of it's worth out of it, at least for me, that is anyway. For others, perhaps a 1,000 hours would be enough. I say 1,000 hours because some players are already taking Fallout 4 to new extremes.

One YouTuber user and Fallout fan has managed to use the PC developer console to create an epic battle within Fallout 4. In the battle, which has been recorded and published to YouTube, 1,000 deathclaws are put up against 100 knights of the Brotherhood of Steel.

You may think the battle will be awfully one sided, but it's incredibly surprising how overpowered the Brotherhood of Steel knights actually are. I mean, we always knew they were overpowered, but could one knight really take out 10 deathclaws? Well, in the YouTube video you'll see that the end results are pretty close.

Some pretty hilarious things happen during the battle as well, including Deathclaws being thrown into the

It has been revealed that Fallout 4 will have a total of 65 different songs on it's soundtrack. All of the 65 tracks on the soundtrack have been composed by Inor Zur specifically for the Fallout 4 game. The main menu music for Fallout 4 was already revealed before, but a lot of the music in the soundtrack has not yet been heard.

On top of revealing the 65 tracks on the Fallout 4 soundtrack, Bethesda has put up the soundtrack on iTunes for $16. So far, Bethesda has not revealed any plans to publish the soundtrack on other places, such as Soundcloud, Spotify, TIDAL, YouTube, Google Play Music or other spaces. That isn't to say that Bethesda won't publish the soundtrack on somewhere other than iTunes, but for right now, the only space to get it is on iTunes.

Whilst the full soundtrack costs $15.99, if you would like to, you can purchase separate tracks for $0.99 each - if you'd just like your favorite tracks, such as the main menu theme, then you'll be able to save some
