The ability to do this begins two weeks from now on July 14. Last week Bethesda announced a new progression system for Fallout 76, called Seasons, which would allow players to unlock items and cosmetics by accumulating S.C.O.R.E. Elsewhere in the roadmap, Season 2 will bring new questlines, daily ops and a bombs drop event, while Season 3 will see the return of the Brotherhood of Steel to Appalachia, and perk loadouts - which should make customising builds easier. A Season in Fallout 76 will be similar to how a battle pass works in other games, such as Destiny 2 or Fortnite.
You can progress along this by completing in-game activities to earn "S.C.O.R.E." UPDATE: Seasons confirmed free, Bethesda apologises for "confusion". The 10 most popular stories of the day, delivered at 5pm UK time. points through various in-game activities. Thanks for taking part! The new system "provides a clear and achievable path to collecting everything, and fun new themes every few months, all while retaining the flexibility for players to earn and spend Atoms as they choose in the Atomic Shop", Bethesda added. Challenges aren't completely disappearing, and completing dailies and weeklies will help you progress through the season path - along with taking part in public events. Similar to the option provided by battle royale games such as Apex Legends and Fortnite, however, there is a way for players to spend money to earn these rewards faster: you can rank up by purchasing levels using the premium currency, Atoms. "To clarify, our Seasons in Fallout 76 are going to be free for all our players.
The introductory The first season's progression path looks rather stylish, resembling a board game, and will guide players up a path that reaches to rank 100. Seasons essentially function as Fallout 76’s version of a battle pass even if they don’t go by the same name.
Each rank costs 150 Atoms to unlock (about £1.20 if you buy the pack of 500), and while you could feasibly unlock the whole season that way, you would have to pay for each rank individually. Rather than offer meaningful progression, the pass is there to reward people playing. "To clarify, our Seasons in Fallout 76 are going to be free for all our players," Bethesda said in a tweet, apologising for creating "confusion" on the matter.
Fallout 76, the online prequel where every surviving human is a real person. Never miss a thing. The blog post said players would be able to access the inaugural Summer Season for free, the wording of which led many to question why only the first season had been marked out as free to play. The first season will allow players to unlock special rewards by earning SCORE points and working their way through a 100 tier reward pass.
