Fallout 76 is a pure multiplayer game. This has led to concerns among many fans that players will just troll and behave badly. However, these concerns appear to be unfounded.
Community is praised: New posts appear on reddit praising the Fallout 76 community. Many players report that they are welcomed kindly, everyone is helpful, and trolls who are only looking for trouble are the absolute exception.
Fallout players take care of each other
The “Welcome Camp”: Shortly after the early launch of Fallout 76, the player and YouTuber “Many A True Nerd” set a goal to welcome new players. For this purpose, he set up a welcome camp.
Using the resources he had already gathered in the beta, he with the help of the C.A.M.P. established a station near the starting point in Fallout 76. New players can drop by and find free:
- purified water
- workbenches
- a bed to rest
- a cooking station
While Many A True Nerd was in his camp, he even welcomed new players in person. Those who wanted could have him craft weapons or armor for their start – also for free.
A restaurant in the wasteland: Another player has taken it upon himself to bring some life to the nuclear wasteland of Appalachia. Shortly after the announcement, it was said, in Fallout 76 you can open stores and trade with other players.
Player MiyukiChai therefore quickly opened a restaurant with a terrace, red sofas, and a menu. Here, MiyukiChai sells homemade food for bottle caps or in exchange for other materials.
The Wasteland restaurant was also created with the C.A.M.P. It is located on the PS4. More pictures of the Wasteland restaurant have been uploaded by MiyukiChai on imgur.
The NukaCola Guy: Some players apparently also enjoy lightening up the wasteland a bit. Fallout 76 does not feature human NPCs. A few people have taken it upon themselves to become NPCs themselves.
For some time now, one player has been portraying one of the most annoying NPCs from Fallout 4. Another player now reports that he encountered another quirky “NPC”.
The Reddit user Ravenna_Sanguine reports about a player in power armor that he encountered. The unknown player promoted the Fallout cult drink NukaCola and handed him a free NukaCola to try during his spiel, before disappearing into the night again.
Players help players: Aside from the unusual encounters and special places that players have created, there are also recurring reports of “everyday heroes” in Fallout 76.
Posts frequently appear where players thank other players they couldn’t find again. They were supplied with various items. The help ranged from Stimpaks and basic gear to fully equipped power armors.
To the guy who gave me the excavator armor: Thanks man, I really appreciate it. People like you are the reason this game is so great. Keep it up. I think I’ve truly found a friend in you, even though we’ve never spoken. Hope you see this.
