Vault 76 Changes

We’ve made changes to the base game experience for players freshly starting their game in Vault 76. Since Fallout 76 launched five years ago, there have been numerous gameplay changes and improvements, and now we’re giving new players a way to jump straight into the action in future updates.

We’ve broken down the changes into three sections; What we added, what we changed, and what we fixed.

New Additions

General

• Players can now choose to start at Level 20. This gives them starter weapons, ammo, armor, perk packs, various survival supplies, and pre-filled loadouts.
• We’ve placed a donation box outside of Vault 76 for players to help one another.
• Two new perks have been added, Arms Keeper and Stable Tools.
  • Arms Keeper: Reduces Weight of Rifles (10%, 25%, 40%)
