Bethesda Game Studios has shared the first details about the Fallout 76 Survival Mode, which is coming soon to the game.
The mode is still in the works and will be launching soon in a “phase 1 for beta testing” before releasing in a complete state.
As soon as you kick off the game, you’ll be asked whether you want to play the regular Adventure mode and the new Survival Mode in the main menu.
“The same quests, events, and story that you’re used to in Adventure mode will all remain available in Survival, but you’ll have to navigate them under the ever-looming threat of hostile dwellers who may be hiding just around the corner,” says Bethesda.
“You’re free to create new characters for Survival mode, and encouraged to do so, but you can also use your existing ones.
If you do take on Survival mode with an existing character, keep in mind that all your progress from Adventure mode will travel with you, and anything that affects your character in one game mode will also affect them in the other.
his means that if you fire off all your ammo, level up, complete a quest, spend Caps, or find a fancy new weapon in Survival, this will also be reflected on that character in Adventure.”
When playing the Survival Mode, all players, except your teammates or event groupmates, are automatically flagged as hostile toward one another by default.
You can attack other players without restriction from the first shot you line up, meaning every encounter you have with a stranger could turn deadly.
The next milestone for the game, Patch 5, will be releasing by the end of January, and you can check here for more details.
