==New game mode: Nuclear Winter==
Welcome to the Nuclear Winter Pre-Beta Sneak Peek! Nuclear Winter is an all-new player-versus-player (PVP) Battle Royale game mode built from the ground up for our Fallout 76 players.
Congratulations are in order! You’ve been identified as a potential candidate to lead Vault 51 from behind the Overseer’s desk, which currently sits vacant. You and your squad are cordially invited to compete against other Overseer hopefuls in a no-holds-barred 52-player battle to the death until just one team is left standing. Will you outlast the competition and take the reins of Vault 51, or will you succumb to the hazardous Appalachian Wasteland?
* Nuclear Winter Pre-Beta Sneak Peek will be available for play until June 17. We hope you enjoy jumping into our most competitive and dangerous Fallout 76 experience yet. Please also share your Nuclear Winter feedback with us in the Fallout 76 forums on Bethesda.net.
Below, you’ll find a rundown of how Nuclear Winter differs from Adventure and Survival modes. For even more details, check out our Nuclear Winter article on Fallout.com:
===How to join Nuclear Winter===
* To access Nuclear Winter, you’ll need use an existing Fallout 76 character.
** If you don’t have a character yet, you can create a new one by selecting “Play” from the Main Menu. Customize your character and save it by ensuring you’ve exited Vault 76. You can then exit to the Main Menu to queue for Nuclear Winter matches.
* Select “Play” from the Main Menu and then select the Nuclear Winter game mode.
** Up to 3 of your friends can join your team to enter Nuclear Winter matchmaking as a squad of 4.
** We’ve also added a “Fill” option you can toggle on or off when queuing alone or in a partial team. When the Fill option is enabled the matchmaker will find additional teammates for you. When disabled, no additional players will be added to your team.
** Please Note: If you currently use any mods or custom game files, you will be unable to join Nuclear Winter matches until they are removed. This has been done to prevent mods and custom files from providing a competitive advantage.
===Gather your wits in Vault 51===
* While waiting for others to join the match, you will find yourself safe within the confines of Vault 51. Feel free to explore the Vault and make yourself at home.
* Once enough players have joined, you and your teammates will have a short time to choose where you’d like to spawn on the Map.
* When the timer expires, all players’ spawn locations will briefly appear on the Map and you will be whisked away to your chosen destination.
You and your teammates will be invulnerable and invisible for a short time after spawning so that you can get your bearings. Using an attack or interacting with an object will end this effect early.
===It burns, burns, burns...===
* Matches currently take place in the Forest Region of Appalachia, which is surrounded by a raging Nuclear Storm.
* Get caught beyond the Storm's sear line and you’re toast.
* Keep your head on a swivel and be ready to run—the Storm moves and closes in on the battlefield at regular intervals throughout each match.
===Go on the hunt and gear up===
* Your character’s level in Adventure or Survival mode has no bearing on your power and offers no bonuses against other players in Nuclear Winter matches.
* Weapons, Armor, Chems, and other items in Nuclear Winter have been completely rebalanced and tuned for PVP combat—the outcome of each battle will come down to skill.
* Check your existing items and status effects at the door. You’ll need to scavenge for weapons, armor, and supplies every time you join a Nuclear Winter match.
** You can find items in the Containers you’re used to seeing in Fallout 76, but the best gear comes from newly placed Crates, hackable Terminals, and lootable Creatures.
** Items you find in Nuclear Winter will be removed at the end of each match.
** Don’t worry, any items and effects your character had in Adventure or Survival will be returned to them whenever you rejoin those game modes.
* Items you find during Nuclear Winter will be automatically added to the favorites wheel until all 12 slots are taken.
===Dress to kill===
* You can now select cosmetic items that you’ve unlocked in the Atomic Shop as favorites.
** When you favorite paints for items like weapons and Power Armor that can be found in Nuclear Winter, they will be automatically applied when you pick those items up during a match.
** Conquer your opponents in style by favoriting cosmetic items like outfits and headwear.
===Make yourself at home===
* You can build your C.A.M.P. in Nuclear Winter, and it’s not going to cost you any resources or crafting materials.
* Many C.A.M.P. Blueprints that you create in Adventure or Survival mode can be placed in Nuclear Winter.
** C.A.M.P. placement is also less restrictive than in other modes, which should help you place your structures in more locations.
** Some objects in Nuclear Winter, such as Turrets, have become lootable items found throughout the region.
* We’ve also added Quick C.A.M.P. Kits, which you can find and use to place defensive structures, traps, and pre-built bunkers with ease.
===Use everything to your advantage===
* Scavenge to find Nuclear Briefcases and Launch Codes to unleash the power of the atom on a small area. Anyone caught within a Nuke’s blast radius will be instantly killed.
* V.A.T.S. can be used to target Creatures, but has been disabled versus players.
* You will start with Perk Cards that enable you to lockpick containers and hack Terminals.
** Hack the Terminals scattered around the map to receive gear or other bonuses.
** Lockpicking does not require Bobby Pins, and you have unlimited attempts.
* You can use Voice Chat to communicate privately with your teammates, but Area Chat is disabled in Nuclear Winter.
===You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L.: new perk card system===
* We’ve built an all-new Perk Card system specifically for Nuclear Winter and added 73 new Perk Cards, some of which can only be used during Nuclear Winter matches.
* Equip 7 Perk Cards while you are inside Vault 51 before a match begins.
** Make your selections carefully, because you cannot adjust your Perk Cards after leaving Vault 51.
** Your character’s Adventure Mode S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats will determine which Perk Cards you can use.
* You will begin with a starter deck of 7 Nuclear Winter Perks already equipped. Gain Overseer Ranks (more on that below) and complete Challenges to unlock more Perk Cards.
===Become the Overseer: new progression system===
* Rank up with an all-new progression system! By playing Nuclear Winter, your characters will earn Overseer XP, which unlocks Overseer Ranks.
** By earning Overseer Ranks, you’ll unlock new cosmetics that you can use in all Fallout 76 game modes, such as Power Armor and weapon paints, C.A.M.P. and Workshop objects, and much more.
** As your Overseer Rank increases you will gain access to new rooms within Vault 51, each offering clues about what became of the Vault’s original Dwellers.
* Additionally, you will still earn XP and Caps for your Adventure/Survival mode character while playing Nuclear Winter, but your level has no bearing on your power and offers no bonuses against other players in Nuclear Winter matches.
Please Note: If necessary, we may bring Nuclear Winter or all of Fallout 76 offline for maintenance or updates on short notice during the sneak peek period. If this occurs, we will be sure to let you know and will work to bring the game back online as soon as possible.
