News // Bethesda Replied x3 Inside the Vault – XBOX Series and PlayStation 5 Public Test Server

125 Upvotes

To All Our Console Vault Dwellers,

We’re excited to welcome you to your first Public Test Server! Starting today, you will be able to test the upcoming XBOX Series and PlayStation 5 (including Pro) update for Fallout 76.

Our goal with this testing period is to obtain live data from all of you to make sure this update is hitting the marks we expect it to hit in terms of FPS and stability.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Targeted 60 FPS across XBOX Series X|S, PS5 and PS5 Pro.
  • 4K resolution (on compatible displays) on XBOX Series X, XBOX One X, PS5 Pro.
  • VRR (on compatible displays) on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS5, PS5 Pro.
  • PS5 and PS4 Pro will support 1440p while previous generation platforms will continue to support 1080p.

This update brings Fallout 76 to the PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series platforms natively allowing us to utilize the hardware more efficiently today and in the future.

Today serves as a big step towards making sure Fallout 76 feels more comfortable to play on all console hardware.

If you have any issues accessing the flight or with the Public Test Server, please reach out to our Support Team at help.bethesda.com.

NOTE: The inclusion of "Improved draw distances and shadows" in previous communications was to highlight the difference between playing on PlayStation 4/ XBOX One versus PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X players are already experiencing improved draw distances and shadows and will continue to do so when this update releases. Sorry for any confusion the inclusion of that note caused.

Accessing the PTS on XBOX Series Platforms

XBOX players will be able to access the PTS through the XBOX Insider Hub. Detailed steps on how to download and install the XBOX Insider Hub can be found on the Microsoft Support Site.

After the XBOX Insider Hub is Installed, open the App and navigate to “Previews” and choose the “Fallout 76 PTS” and select “Join”. From there you should be directed to download the PTS. Once that is over all that’s left is to launch the game and join our Bethesda Studios Discord (more on how to deliver feedback below).

Accessing the PTS on PlayStation Platforms

To access the PTS on PlayStation platforms, please join our [Discord Server and follow the instructions in the #76-announcements channel.](https://)

Things to Know Before Jumping into the Public Test Server

  • We take a snapshot of your characters from the live game for you to use here. You’ll have access to your characters, weapons, armor, items, and C.A.M.P.S, etc.
  • The Atomic Shop will NOT be active.
  • Seasonal content is NOT active.
  • The PTS Locker, found outside Vault 76, often provides easy access to mods, ammo, weapons, etc. based on features we’re looking for your feedback on. We’ll outline in these articles when the locker has been updated and with what.
  • Join our Discord server to provide your feedback! The Bethesda Studios Discord is the primary way we review feedback and bug reports on these updates. So, join us and share information about your experience!
  • After joining the server, visit #server-roles for the steps to gain access to our PTS channels. 
  • Progression made in the PTS does NOT transfer over to the live game.
  • Your PTS character progression does not persist in between test cycles. We take a new snapshot of your player before the start of every PTS.
  • Lastly, during a PTS you will be testing content that is not final, please understand that you will run into issues and bugs. It’s part of the process. Also, majority of the new content you test is not likely to have been translated yet. So all of our PTS related content is limited to English only.

Discussion Whitesprings IRL, The Greenbrier, WV

958 Upvotes

We recently spent a day at the Greenbrier for one of our birthdays, which is the IRL inspiration for the Whitesprings in Fallout 76. This historical site features a declassified secret government bunker that you can pay to tour. What we really enjoyed was the attention to detail the game paid to the location, and that we were able to easily find our way around without needing much help, due to playing 76.

This is one of our many trips to the Greenbrier. If you want to see the Greenbrier at its most magical, we really love it during the holidays when it is heavily decorated and goes all out for Christmas.

While there we enjoyed walking the grounds, paid to do the bunker tour, shopped, and ate. We, of course, had to have a few drinks at the bar on the 1st floor.

I am not compensated for this post in any way; I just like traveling.

With a new season a mere two weeks away, it’s time to prepare yourself.
For those who don’t know, we’re about to see some major changes to build rules for weapons, requiring far more resources — up to 3200% more to be exact. Start collecting scrip, legendary modules, and vault steel now. Take advantage of Murmrgh’s big sale this weekend at the Rusty Pick.
Have fun out there and be kind to each other.

Discussion Collect deathclaw eggs

51 Upvotes

Only today did I notice this daily says eggs but only requires 1 egg to complete. Head canon will now be that every egg is a mutant merger of two eggs and somehow contains twins.

Anyway don't forget that there's a static, instanced egg spawn inside the security office of the vault under Dark Hollow Manor. No server hopping required.

Bug Beware: The Rainbow weather control station does NOT count as rain as far as fishing goes!

26 Upvotes

Today's challenges include catching 2 fish while it's raining. Despite rain clearly falling when you're in range of it, it doesn't count if you catch fish within range of one. As a side note, it does count if you're near a Thunderstorm weather controller.

Discussion Interesting unique in the PTS! Spoiler

Post image
52 Upvotes

I was fooling around the PTS and saw this thing. I imagine it can be pretty useful for ghouls since the special effect is basically passive glow generation.

I equipped it and surely enough started taking rad dmg right away.

Maybe there are some shenanigans possible with Radioactive Powered for infinite AP if you can balance it right?

Anyways, hyped for the uniques revamp update!

Level 1700 here and certainly not clueless by any means however I am constantly seeing posts by other users saying use throwing knives to finish off resilient enemies. This has never worked for me however I thought oh I’ll try it again and nope nothing, I have to physically bash them to kill them.

Am I doing something wrong or is everyone who says throwing knives work lying? TIA
