With Update 20, Bethesda launched Season 1 in Fallout 76 and added the legendary race. Essentially, it’s somewhat like a battle pass, where you earn points by completing challenges to advance up to 100 spaces and receive rewards. However, this involves a lot of grind and is hardly achievable.
What’s happening: The legendary race in Season 1 of Fallout 76 started with Update 20 on June 30 and offers a good way to keep players engaged. On a game board with 100 spaces, you start with your character on space 1 and advance whenever you increase your new S.C.O.R.E. level through challenges.
These are the challenges: Fallout 76 provides new daily and weekly challenges that raise your S.C.O.R.E. level. These range from simple tasks like “level up” to really difficult challenges such as “kill 10 legendary creatures.”
You will need not only time but also skill or a good group to complete the more difficult tasks.
These are the rewards: The rewards are also very diverse and vary:
- Crowns
- Gold Bars
- Atoms
- Weapon and Armor Skins
- Power Armor Skins
- Resources
- Emotes
- Portraits
- and much more
Reaching Level 100 is an incredible grind
Leveling up in S.C.O.R.E is not that easy, and completing all 100 levels is practically impossible.
Here’s the problem: YouTuber Nightin Gery took a closer look at the legendary race and calculated everything meticulously.
He calculates that players need a total of 225,000 achievement points to unlock all rewards. In the first level, you need 1000 to reach level 2, and then you need 25 points more for each subsequent level. From 99 to 100, that’s 3500 achievement points.
However, here’s the catch:
- The daily challenges grant a total of 2000 points
- The weekly challenges provide 7500 points
- The season only lasts 10 weeks
If you complete everything, grind every day, you will have collected 215,000 achievement points after 10 weeks. The remaining 10,000 points must be solved with a repeatable task, where you simply earn experience points – 10,000 EXP gives you 100 points. Thus, you need 1 million experience points.
If you fail a challenge, snooze for a day, or even miss a week, you will have to grind a lot more experience points to make up for it.
