While Test Your Metal may be the name of the update that added more events to Fallout 76, it also refers to an event that you can participate in. The Test Your Metal event has you go toe-to-metal with various robots as you fight for your life in a gladiatorial arena. Don’t get caught up in the excitement of the crowd. There are still plenty of rewards to win from this event and you might just get them if you complete the event correctly.
How to get the best rewards from the Test Your Metal event
During the Test Your Metal event, it won’t just be you trying to survive the onslaught of robots in the arena. After you enter the Metal Dome, there will be three Brotherhood of Steel members that follow you. Your objective is to keep them alive while they help you defeat the robots. Luckily, you can revive them if they happen to go down. There are three different tiers of rewards you can obtain during the event and it all depends on how many teammates of yours are left standing at the end. Keep them all alive for the best possible rewards.
