Paying Fallout 1st subscribers, on the other hand, will have access to an unlimited storage container dubbed the Scrapbox. Fallout 76 puts an artificial cap on that storage: 800 units of weight. But the game's increased focus on crafting (which had been hinted at in Fallout 4's "settlement" system) means players have a lot of smaller items they may want to stock in a non-backpack storage container, dubbed the Stash. Continuing in Fallout game tradition, players can only store so many items in their "backpacks," whose storage amount can be increased in the course of gameplay. The biggest additional feature for this paid service is a bit concerning: storage space for in-game items. You'll need to be a paying Fallout 1st member to access mods, however, and no other information about how they'll work or how players might create them or share them between platforms has yet been disclosed. ![]() This week's announcement has also piled on another pledge for a feature coming at an undisclosed date: mod support. However, that "planned" support pledge went unfulfilled for nearly a year, even as Bethesda continued adding free quest and quality-of-life updates for all Fallout 76 players. The potential for these kinds of negative experiences, combined with the general lack of positives we can see from having a wider server population, already has us looking forward to the planned post-launch rollout of private servers that we can roam alone in small, unbothered cooperative teams. During a preview event in October 2018, for instance, Ars Senior Gaming Editor Kyle Orland noticed the game's griefing potential-balanced with one of Bethesda's assurances about private servers-before the game had even launched: We'd like to know whether JonSub can log in, play Fallout 76 in a private instance for a while, then invite JaneSub to play, leave the instance, and come back in a few days and still see the fruits of JaneSub's progress in that shared instance.Įxisting Fallout 76 players expose their average online gameplay to random, unknown players. It's unclear whether Fallout 1st instances will hold onto progress in the cloud. For that gameplay instance to persist, however, at least one of its players must be a paying Fallout 1st member as soon as all subscribers log out, the instance will disconnect. Instead of having one person pay to operate a specific, always-online server, a paying member will be able to create a private Fallout 76 instance, then invite up to seven other players (including non-subscribers) to join that instance. ![]() The service's headline feature is "private worlds," though these don't quite operate the same way you might expect from a paid, private-server service like Minecraft Realms. ![]() That promised service finally got a name (and a price) on Wednesday: Fallout 1st will become available for existing Fallout 76 players on November 1 for either $99.99/year or $12.99/month. As the video game Fallout 76 approaches its first anniversary this November, its makers at Bethesda have routinely promised its online playerbase a way to pay for private servers.
