In Fallout 76 a legendary faction will return soon: The Steel Brotherhood. According to the roadmap, it won’t be until the end of 2020. Players already have ideas on how the update can be even better.
What is this update about? “Steel Dawn” is the major winter update that is set to launch in Fallout 76 at the end of 2020. It follows the current update “One Wasteland for All” and brings back the legendary Steel Brotherhood.
What do players wish for: In the reddit thread by user sc00pula, players are currently collecting ideas on how to make the update better. Their original idea is to make the headquarters accessible for fast travel for free. His thread has received over 1,200 upvotes in no time.
He points out that the outposts of the settlers and raiders only became free fast travel points after several weeks. For the Brotherhood, he wants to prevent players from having to ask for that for so long.
Why is this important? The Steel Brotherhood will establish its headquarters relatively centrally in Savage Divide. The major Wastelanders update has already shown how often players need to travel to the respective outposts.
If the travel were not free, the required caps would add up significantly over time.
How to make the update even better
Here are more ideas: In the thread, players discuss additional content that could make the upcoming update even better. Some of the more popular ideas include:
- Camps in the style of the Steel Brotherhood
- Free fast travel to all train stations
- Making the Brotherhood base selectable as a target for atomic bombs
As a compromise, the user Martian_on_the_Moon suggested that fast travel would only become free once the maximum reputation level has been reached.
For settlers and raiders there is already a reputation system similar to an MMORPG and the Brotherhood will likely get a similar one.
The Future of Fallout 76
What to expect in Fallout 76 in 2020 and 2021: With “Steel Dawn,” one of the bigger updates will be released in winter 2020 according to the roadmap. It will bring new weapons, armors, quests and also the Steel Brotherhood back. It has already announced itself through encrypted radio messages.
Along with the update, C.A.M.P. shelters will also be released. In these, players can build in instanced areas. This opens up unprecedented possibilities for all players who want to unleash their creativity when building their own base. They will be on the PTR for testing soon.
With the update, not only will the Steel Brotherhood return to Appalachia, there will also be skill loadouts, more daily operations, and new expeditions. However, these will be shifted to 2021.
The skill loadouts allow players to quickly and conveniently adjust their own builds so they can act faster in critical situations. This is a wish that players have had for a long time.
Currently, the second season of “One Wasteland for All” is running in Fallout 76 and players still have a lot to do to complete the new season pass. Steel Dawn will then bring the third season with a new game board.
After the recent purchase of Bethesda by Microsoft, the chances are good that 2021 could become the “Fallout 76 year”.
Fallout 76 is already included in the Xbox Game Pass for PC, and Microsoft is most likely to stick to the franchise and promote its development. However, how exactly this will look remains to be seen.
