Bethesda has just announced that a beta for the hardcore PvP Survival mode it’s coming to Fallout 76 on March, this new mode has less restrictions giving players a much more difficult chance to survive in the wasteland, players who participate will get a change to win great weapons and items.
Since the launch of Fallout 76, we’ve received lots of feedback from some of our more competitive players who requested greater challenge, fewer restrictions, and more incentives when it comes to PVP combat. With this in mind, we began developing Survival mode, which will bring a new way for you to engage in even more demanding, high-stakes, and deadly adventures in Fallout 76. We’re still hard at work on this mode internally and plan to bring it to the live game in phases as we add more content and features over time. Here’s a preview of what you can expect from Survival when phase 1 opens for beta testing.
As this will be our first implementation of a Survival mode, we plan to experiment with different rules after Beta release, such as death mechanics. Currently, players who die in Survival mode will be unable to use the seek revenge respawn option against their aggressors and can only choose to respawn at their C.A.M.P. or Vault 76. We’re also planning to award you double the Caps when you kill another player, and they may drop their Aid or other items in addition to their Junk. Added risks and rewards like these in Survival mode PVP will make each of your deaths more devastating, and every kill you rack up much more lucrative. However, it’s important to note that these changes aren’t set in stone, and we’ll be looking to make adjustments based on playtesting and your feedback during the Survival Beta.
In this new Survival mode, players will have the same quests, events, and story featured in Adventure mode, the difference is that they’ll have to have to navigate them under thethreat of hostile dwellers who may be hiding just around the corner. I’m really hyped about this and I’m looking forward to join this beta testing, what are your thoughts about this new challenge available, do you love it, hate it? share your opinion in the comment section below.
