Bethesda rings in the year with exciting announcements for the online game Fallout 76. Among other things, you’ll soon be able to become a merchant and open your own shop in 2019.
After the heavily criticized launch, Bethesda looks forward to the future of Fallout 76 with a fresh perspective in the new year. Players have much to look forward to.
Many new features coming
What’s coming? The developers have already announced plans to introduce a new PvP mode. But that’s not all that this year holds for Fallout 76. The following features are planned:
- New vaults opening
- Weekly in-game events
- More quests
What is the highlight? Particularly interesting is the opportunity for players to become merchants. You will open a shop in the post-apocalyptic wasteland and offer items to other players.
How does trading work? Currently, it is not clear how this merchant system will work. Bethesda wants to keep details for a later time.
Therefore, several questions still arise:
- Will you open a shop through your Camp?
- Is it possible to place vending machines and stock them with goods?
- Do you have to be personally present to sell goods or can you use a vending robot?
- Will other players be able to raid your shop?
Players look hopefully to the future
How are players reacting? Fans are excited about upcoming changes, but remain skeptical especially about the new PvP mode. No one quite knows what to expect, whether it will be optional and how it will impact the entire game.
Nonetheless, the Fallout 76 community looks forward with anticipation and hope to the future.
When will the new features arrive? Bethesda plans to announce specific dates for the updates. However, it has been mentioned that patches will be released this month. What they will bring will be revealed in the patch notes.
