Take back Appalachia from the extraterrestrials. Starting today, aliens have landed in Fallout 76 and they’re trying to steal your brainwaves. It’s going to take all your brainpower and firepower to keep them from taking over Appalachia.

At the top of every hour, a UFO will be sighted over one of several important locations in Appalachia. The aliens are beaming down Siphons to steal your brainwaves and the brainwaves of your fellow vault-dwellers. Take down these mind-sucking Siphons before the meter fills to complete the event and reap the extra-planetary rewards. It won’t be easy, because the siphons are protected by all kinds of Toxic and Cryogenic aliens, including Captain and Invader Aliens who mean business.

Invaders from Beyond will be active from November 12 to 26, so get out there and foil their nefarious alien plans.


Completing the Invaders from Beyond event gives you a chance to earn some truly out-of-this-world new rewards, including these colorful Nuka Cola Rockets in a few different flavors, from Nuka Grape and Cherry to Nuka Twist. You can also earn this pink Hazmat Suit, a Futuristic Globe and the Alien Couch and Alien Settee, hand-crafted by aliens.

• Ultracite Gatling Laser
  
• Plasma Gun

While these weapons are still being evaluated for overall balance, these particular mods over-shot the current target for fire damage mods (especially when taking into account the recent adjustments to creature health and resistances) and are being brought in line with similar mods for other weapons. This allows for more consistency among weapons and mods when making future changes.


The creatures below will generally be less threatening at mid-level (especially 35-75) but should be a bit tougher towards level 100. In some cases, at lower level, these creatures may be slightly weaker or stronger to ensure that they’re appropriately engaging even when first met.

Their resistances have been adjusted in a way that it’s now more valuable to explore which damage types they are now weaker too.

These changes are similar to the creature changes that were made in the Skyline Valley and Milepost Zero updates.

The following creatures have been adjusted:

• Secret Service Armor gives scrap when scrapping it.
  
• Fixed an issue where having multiple Mining Helmets could cause the lamp to not function.

The following Magazines have received updates. For the most part, these are direct increases to the Magazines’ effects.

• Astoundingly Awesome Tales 7: +25 max AP, up from +5.
  
• Astoundingly Awesome Tales 10: +35% more damage with scoped weapons while aiming, previously +15% without needing to aim.
  
• Dev Note: This magazine now specifically offers its benefit to weapons fired using manual aim and does not affect VATS.
  
• Backwoodsman 2: Name and cover art updated to match effect.
  
• Dev Note: This is a purely cosmetic change for the magazine’s name and cover. It was previously swapped with Backwoodsman 7 (see below).
  
• Backwoodsman 6: Now only affects healing from cooked foods, rather than all effects from cooked food.
  
• Backwoodsman 7 (name and cover art updated to match effect): Now affects all thrown weapons (Sheepsquatch Shard, Tomahawk, Throwing Knife, Meat Cleaver) instead of just Tomahawks.
  
• Live and Love 1: +25 max HP while on a team, up from 10.
  
• Live and Love 3: Now only affects healing from fruits & veggies, rather than all effects from fruits & veggies.
  
• Live and Love 6: +25 damage resistance while on a team, up from 10.
  
• Grognak the Barbarian 3: +25 poison resistance, up from 15.
  
• Grognak the Barbarian 8: +25 cryo resistance (Charisma no-longer required), instead of +2 damage resistance per point of Charisma.
  
• Grognak the Barbarian 9: +25 carry weight, up from +10.

• Now occurs slightly later at night to match Nocturnal and other night-time effects.
  
• Scout's Life 3: Now reduces all items' weight by 10%, instead of +10 carry weight.
  
• Scout's Life 9: Now provides +25 fire resistance, instead of -80% camp placement cost.
  
• US Covert operations Manual 1: +50 damage resistance while sneaking, up from +10 while sneking.

Backwoodsman 6 and Live and Love 3 far exceeded the intended level of benefit for magazines and have been adjusted to match their original effect of boosting Healing from food items. Backwoodsman 6’s prior change in the Once in a Blue Moon update had been made in error, and we apologize for the confusion.

Prior to this update, these magazines boosted all foods effects, including (but not limited) to Carry Weight, S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, VATS Critical Attack damage, etc.

The effects of these magazines will be further adjusted if needed in future updates.

Ci vediamo per la Giornata di Fallout!

Today we deployed an update on all platforms to activate Caravans!

The new quest “A Bump in the Road” will start your career as a caravan leader as you make your mark on Skyline Valley.

You'll find the patch notes for today's update below:

Howdy Everyone,

Tomorrow at 10 AM ET, Fallout 76 will be brought offline on all platforms to deploy a hotfix. This update will address a few topics that have appeared since the Milepost Zero release such as fixing disappearing loot, providing some more stability improvements, and more.

Stay tuned for the release notes which will be shared tomorrow.

Before we dive into the release notes for Milepost Zero, we wanted to let you know that the questline to start your own Caravan will unlock later this month.

We hope that this gives you enough time to work through the new Legendary Crafting system and make sure you're prepared to stake your claim on Skyline Valley when the new caravan and outpost systems are released!

Fallout 76’s overall file size is getting smaller! Thanks to the work of our tech team, we now expect the total size of Fallout 76 to be around 95 GB (with some variance for the different platforms).

To reach this new size, all players will have to redownload the game. This is why you may notice that update size for Milepost Zero is larger than normal. Thanks in advance for your patience!

Note: You do not need to uninstall the game to receive the Milepost Zero patch. You will notice a large update that you will have to download. The platform you're playing on will do the rest

Check the download size below for today’s update:

- **PC (Steam)**: 82.07 GB

We are excited to introduce this new iteration of Legendary Crafting that gives you more direct control over the Legendary Mods that appear on your Legendary items.

Before you can start swapping Legendary Mods onto your gear, you will need to obtain the mod you want to craft in one of two ways:

- Trading for the mod with another player;
- Scrapping Legendary items with your desired mod on it.

Every time you scrap a Legendary item you will get Legendary Scrip and have a chance at receiving Legendary Mods in the form of a crafting item. There is also a chance that you will permanently learn how to craft one of the mods on the item you scrapped too. Those loose Legendary Mods can be traded with other players, but once you craft that mod onto an item that item becomes character bound. Meaning it cannot be traded, sold, nor dropped in the world.

Once you obtain your desired mod, you can head over to your Armor or Weapons workbench to attach it to a legendary item in exchange for Legendary Scrip. Each time you replace a mod on an item, the cost to replace another will increase.
If you are lucky enough to learn how to craft the mod, head over to your Tinker’s workbench to craft it. The crafting cost will vary depending on the mod. Mods require Legendary Modules and various other items to craft that you can find around the Wasteland.

To aid in the exploration of new mod combinations, we have relaxed the Legendary Mod restrictions on weapons. We are excited to see what you craft!


In August we announced that Legendary Cores will be discontinued as we consolidated the currencies used in Legendary Crafting. This means Legendary Cores will no longer be usable across Appalachia. When you login after downloading the patch, any remaining Legendary Cores will be converted into Legendary Scrip at a 1:1 conversion ratio.


Best Builds is a new social system that allows you to submit, visit, and rate C.A.M.P.s. The C.A.M.P.s with the most votes will be shared and populated though out wasteland for all players in Adventure Mode to see. You will be able to visit these amazing creations and enjoy the comforts, design, and unique tastes the builder has in store for its visitors. While visiting, if you happen to appreciate the builders C.A.M.P., you can show your support by leaving a 'Like'. We hope this allows our dedicated player builders an opportunity to show off their creations as well as inspire other players to create and submit their own Best Builds.

Submitting Your Camp

Once you have a C.A.M.P. that you would like to show off to the wasteland, you can submit your C.A.M.P. though the Best Builds Submission option. This is found by opening the 'C.A.M.P. Slots' list on the Paper Map and selecting the C.A.M.P. you wish to submit. Once you have entered the submission window, you will be able to take a few photos and tag your C.A.M.P. with the appropriate identifiers, to help make it stand out from the crowd. Once you are happy with how your C.A.M.P. is represented, you can submit your Best Build. The Best Build will be added to list of other players created Best Builds.

If you happen to make changes to your Best Build, you can easily resubmit the newly remodeled C.A.M.P. without losing any Likes previously earned. You can resubmit you Best Build by going to the 'Manage Best Builds' option also found activated 'C.A.M.P. Slots' list on the paper map.

Visit

Upon your travels in the wasteland, you will notice a few new locations with a blue ribbon on the paper map and on the compass. These are player created Best Builds. You will be able to fast travel to these C.A.M.P.s the same as you would any other C.A.M.P. While visiting, please take time to sit down, relax, and enjoy the experience the builder has instore for you. Do not delay on checking out a C.A.M.P. that piques your interest. Best Builds rotate in and out every hour.

Rate

If you happen to find a Best Builds that you fancy, feel free to show your support to the builder by giving them a Like. You can 'Like' a Best Build by going to the Best Build icon on the paper map and selecting 'Like'. Giving the builder a Like will help show other players that this C.A.M.P. is indeed a Best Build.


Learn about the hottest items at your C.A.M.P. Vendor with the Vendor History Log. Accessible from the Paper Map or your vendor, this log shows you what items were sold, their price, and who bought it.

The Vendor History log only stores transactions that happen during your current play session. After your session ends the log will be cleared so you receive a fresh log when you start playing again.


Near the border of Skyline Valley, you will come across the ruins of an abandoned headquarters once owned by the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. They have had a challenging time operating within the presence of the storm, but luckily for them you arrive! A seasoned traveler of the region, well-versed in all forms of combat and even a few forms of diplomacy (although that will not work here). The company decides to give you franchising rights to start your own caravan branch under their flag.

Once setup, you will escort caravans across the Shenandoah region and recruit a strong crew of varying professions. This crew will help you build up your own personal outpost where new rewards await you.

While you are traveling across Skyline Valley make sure you take a beat to help your fellow aspiring business dwellers with their own caravans. Events Public Team bonuses apply to Caravan events and helping someone else will get you back to starting your own caravans that much quicker.

Milepost Zero continues the work we started in Skyline Valley to update our combat systems. This patch we are focusing on changes to Fire and Poison damage and how the damage over time (DoT) effect works. There is also more rebalancing for creatures and many other changes.

There is a lot to dig into, so grab a cup of coffee or tea and dig in.


**Fire/Poison Weapons and Mods**

Fire and Poison damage will typically include a DoT effect, with Fire damage trending towards shorter durations and higher Damage Per Second (DPS), with Poison trending towards longer durations and higher overall damage.

• Headhunter Scythe’s damage type has been changed to Bleed.

Like the adjustments made in the Skyline Valley update, the following creatures have updated Health, Resistances, and Damage. Our goal is to smooth out their difficulty from low to high level play making them a reasonable threat for all players.
