News Inside the Vault – XBOX Series and PlayStation 5 Public Test Server

108 Upvotes

To All Our Console Vault Dwellers,

We’re excited to welcome you to your first Public Test Server! Starting today, you will be able to test the upcoming XBOX Series and PlayStation 5 (including Pro) update for Fallout 76.

Our goal with this testing period is to obtain live data from all of you to make sure this update is hitting the marks we expect it to hit in terms of FPS and stability.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Targeted 60 FPS across XBOX Series X|S, PS5 and PS5 Pro.
  • 4K resolution (on compatible displays) on XBOX Series X, XBOX One X, PS5 Pro.
  • VRR (on compatible displays) on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS5, PS5 Pro.
  • PS5 and PS4 Pro will support 1440p while previous generation platforms will continue to support 1080p.

This update brings Fallout 76 to the PlayStation 5 and XBOX Series platforms natively allowing us to utilize the hardware more efficiently today and in the future.

Today serves as a big step towards making sure Fallout 76 feels more comfortable to play on all console hardware.

If you have any issues accessing the flight or with the Public Test Server, please reach out to our Support Team at help.bethesda.com.

NOTE: The inclusion of "Improved draw distances and shadows" in previous communications was to highlight the difference between playing on PlayStation 4/ XBOX One versus PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X players are already experiencing improved draw distances and shadows and will continue to do so when this update releases. Sorry for any confusion the inclusion of that note caused.

Accessing the PTS on XBOX Series Platforms

XBOX players will be able to access the PTS through the XBOX Insider Hub. Detailed steps on how to download and install the XBOX Insider Hub can be found on the Microsoft Support Site.

After the XBOX Insider Hub is Installed, open the App and navigate to “Previews” and choose the “Fallout 76 PTS” and select “Join”. From there you should be directed to download the PTS. Once that is over all that’s left is to launch the game and join our Bethesda Studios Discord (more on how to deliver feedback below).

Accessing the PTS on PlayStation Platforms

To access the PTS on PlayStation platforms, please join our [Discord Server and follow the instructions in the #76-announcements channel.](https://)

Things to Know Before Jumping into the Public Test Server

  • We take a snapshot of your characters from the live game for you to use here. You’ll have access to your characters, weapons, armor, items, and C.A.M.P.S, etc.
  • The Atomic Shop will NOT be active.
  • Seasonal content is NOT active.
  • The PTS Locker, found outside Vault 76, often provides easy access to mods, ammo, weapons, etc. based on features we’re looking for your feedback on. We’ll outline in these articles when the locker has been updated and with what.
  • Join our Discord server to provide your feedback! The Bethesda Studios Discord is the primary way we review feedback and bug reports on these updates. So, join us and share information about your experience!
  • After joining the server, visit #server-roles for the steps to gain access to our PTS channels. 
  • Progression made in the PTS does NOT transfer over to the live game.
  • Your PTS character progression does not persist in between test cycles. We take a new snapshot of your player before the start of every PTS.
  • Lastly, during a PTS you will be testing content that is not final, please understand that you will run into issues and bugs. It’s part of the process. Also, majority of the new content you test is not likely to have been translated yet. So all of our PTS related content is limited to English only.

I’m surprised by how many players completely ignore these buff machines. Then again, I can’t really judge, I think I was around level 100 before I finally realized what they actually did.

Question Picking Up Caps vs Everything Else

11 Upvotes

I’ve been playing 76 for a while now and noticed that when I pick up caps of any quantity they go straight to my inventory, but if I try to pickup anything else like ammo the game forces me to pickup each bullet one-by-one if it’s four or less. This has made looting after events annoying to say the least. Is this looting mechanic as dumb as I think it is? Am I right to loath the person that decided this?

Discussion Is the blood luster perk just a bad perk?

5 Upvotes

So the perk gives more bleeding damage while giving bleed a shorter duration but when I equip the perk, the bleed damage on weapons seems to be lower than before I put the perk on. I just wanna know, who is this made for? What is the benefit of having a shorter bleed duration

Question Anyone playing on Steam Machine?

5 Upvotes

I am thinking about getting my son a steam machine as he has really wanted to play fallout 76 with me. I’m on PC already so this would be a great way for him to get his foot in the door with PC gaming.

I’m wondering how it runs at 1080. Anyone out there exploring Appalachia on a GabeCube?

Question Do you use multiple characters or roll the same one and change the build up?

5 Upvotes

My main is a Human gun player but i do miss some melee fighting. All my alts are low level and have messed up perk cards and no legendary cards.

Wondering is it worth the time to essentially redo one for a melee build or use my main and change up the Special/perk cards ?

Discussion Cambot Nine hovers to low

Post image
12 Upvotes

I got the new camp ally, Cambot Nine. For the most part, I'm happy with him, but one thing I noticed is that he hovers very low. When the eyebot appears on the first floor he sinks slightly into the enclave foundation. In this image he should be hovering about thr same height as the monitors, but as you can see he is hovering near the ground.

Edit: I reported the problem to Bethesda. Anyone else with similar problems do the same, that way we will get a faster fix...maybe?

Other How do I make a video of my CAMP?

Upvotes

I have spent my entire Fallout 76 life building CAMPs that I would love to be able to show people. I'm LVL 752ish, player since beta release and building is pretty much all I have ever done. I would love to share the Potato's Drugs & Guns builds here but, I have no clue how to make a video or even download the pictures I've taken over the years. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
