For instance, a player called RADRUX is the proud owner of Fallout 76’s first taco truck. Other players choose to build something that is pure spectacle.

The New Charleston Herald office has a modest place for role-players to visit, along with a newsstand and a backyard for barbecues and community gatherings.

“I chose a location that’s about one block from the original Charleston Herald building, both for the symbolism and because the location is not far from a key location for the New Responders, who are the reporter’s protection and security detail while in Appalachia.” Her in-game character is an intrepid New Charleston Herald reporter who embeds herself in the role-play wars of Appalachia. “The best builds are definitely those that fit a theme,” says Green. “For us builders, the CAMP system is the ultimate way to showcase how proud we are of our creations,” says Holly Green, a Fallout 76 role-player and games writer.

Players, especially those who have honed their skills in Fallout 4’s building mode, are able to create some cool environments that don’t initially seem possible to the untrained eye.

Bethesda is also testing CAMP slots, which allow players to build multiple CAMPs and switch them out on the fly. The first is the addition of shelters, which are big underground bases that lack the item budget of CAMPs built in the open world. There are two major changes to CAMPs that have these communities so busy building. Now, while exploring the wasteland, you can find an elaborate taco truck, show up to a Mothman museum exhibit that’s run by cultists and attended by local press, or find a Brotherhood of Steel recon camp on the edge of a nuclear zone - all made by players. Many people keep their CAMP nice and functional, but other players choose to go above and beyond a simple shelter where they can repair their gear and catch a nap.īethesda has been supporting the CAMP feature since day one, and the building and role-playing communities have both taken advantage of recent additions. but the real charm of Appalachia comes from the CAMPs created by players. Fallout 76’s map has some cool features crafted by Bethesda, like an abandoned ski resort or a deadly water park.
