Together with Season 1, Fallout 76 has received a Season Pass and many rewards to unlock. However, there were some issues with this pass. Now Bethesda is responding – to the delight of the players.
What was the problem? When Update 20 launched the first season and the first Season Pass, many players immediately started to earn the over 100 rewards.
However, they found out that it could take quite a long time. Some players started calculating how long it would take and came to the conclusion: Those who want to complete the Season Pass need a lot of time.
Additionally, some bugs prevented the necessary S.C.O.R.E. from being counted from daily challenges at all. As a result, players missed several days of challenges.
This led to frustration and anger over a feature that is actually quite cool. Now Bethesda has explained active changes in a new “From the Vault” and announced future ones.
More Challenges, Level Faster
This is changing now: Until July 20, instead of seven daily challenges, there will now be nine active. That’s a whopping 500 S.C.O.R.E. more per day – about half to a third of a level, depending on how far you are already. This change has been active for several days, allowing diligent players to catch up significantly.
However, Bethesda also plans to offer more similar actions as compensation for the missing S.C.O.R.E. due to bugs. The blog post states:
As we progress through The Legendary Run, we want to offer more daily challenges of this kind. For example, we are planning some daily and weekly bonus challenges that will be added in the final season week.
An event will also take place between July 23 and 27, which doubles the S.C.O.R.E. received from daily challenges. Until July 20, there are also double experience points – which will greatly help anyone looking to level up the Season Pass quickly:
What else is changing? The planned change allowing you to buy levels for real money is now also active. Actually, the Season Pass is completely free. But those who want can buy a level up for 150 atoms (about €1.50).
Additionally, some of the existing features will be adjusted. For example, the ammunition converter will be improved, which many players have been wishing for months but is currently not functioning as expected. The change is expected to come with Update 21 on August 4.
Season 1 may not bring as significant changes as the huge Wastelanders update before, but it has made MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus fall in love with Fallout 76 again. Those who haven’t yet given the Season Pass, the new challenges, and the new features a chance should take another look right now. The current events are a good incentive to get back into the game.
