At the just ended Bethesda E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2019 Showcase, Todd Howard hit the stage and then he admitted that Fallout 76's launch had some serious problems. In order to revive players faith in this game, Todd Howard announced it would be getting a free Wastelanders update that would not only add human NPCs (Non-Player Characters), but also a new main quest, choices, consequences, and some new Fallout 76 best weapons and gear to the game. Here is what we extracted directly from Bethesda: "This is a long term story we’re telling. Year one was about the vault doors opening and all of you settling the wasteland. Year two is about people coming back to reclaim it. Like previous Fallout games, these characters have their own stories and goals. It’s up to you to decide how to interact with them and live with those consequences.” In the Fallout 76 preview shown, all players could embark on quests with and fight alongside NPCs, and in conversations, some certain dialogue options required statistics such as charisma and perception. The good news is, the Wastelanders update will be coming this fall to all Fallout 76 players for free. In the Fallout 76 official blog post, Bethesda elaborates on the role these NPCs will play. Two factions named the Raiders and the Settlers are trying to stake claim over Appalachia. And of course, each faction has a story to tell, and will help them earn players rewards, for example, like the latest Fallout 76 power armor edition and the best weapons. And finally, the choices players make will play into how their stories unfold. It's all up to players to decide which faction they will choose to side with. In an additional update, Fallout 76 game will also be getting a totally new battle royale mode. In the Bethesda E3 2019 conference, this mode's preview named Nuclear Winter showed vault dwellers throwing punches at one another, fighting off irradiated baddies, crafting shelters, shooting at one another, and seemingly dropping nukes in an effort to become the overseer of vault 51. For more information about Fallout 76, the battle royale mode feature 52 players who will obviously also be able to level up with exclusive perks. And sadly those perks were not shown during the conference, but we think they probably be similar to those players get with Perk cards. Now we can get a sneak peek of Nuclear Winter since it has already started June 10. Now the players can play Fallout 76 on a free trial. This trial will run from June 10 — 17.
