This time, we have dangerous new endgame content for those who are prepared to adventure around and protect the Wasteland.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnemy factions have found weakness in some of the residents of well-known locations around the map, and they’ve decided it’s time for them to start taking over. Leaving behind an Appalachia that has become infested with locations that are now overran with by these powerful enemies. It’s up to you to clear them up and earn some new rewards along the way. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead on to get the full breakdown on what’s available to play in this Public Test Server (PTS) period.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"howtoparticipateinthepts\"\u003eHow to Participate in the PTS\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll players who own a copy of Fallout 76 on Steam can participate in our PTS. Please note that progress from the PTS does not carry over into the live game. The Atomic Shop is also disabled during this testing period. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo install the PTS, open your Steam library, and install “Fallout 76 Public Test Server”. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs a general reminder, not all the content you see in the PTS is guaranteed to be released with the update that we’re testing.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"ptstestingfeatures\"\u003ePTS Testing Features\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore we dive into the new content coming with this update, we’re adding some new tools to help make testing in the PTS easier. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeveling Potions\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdded leveling options that will increase the level of the character that drinks it. This can be used on existing and newly created characters, and the potions can be found in the PTS locker. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrency and Ammo Crates\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo new crates that grant currency and ammo to assist in testing needs. Once obtained from the PTS Locker, the crates can be found in the MISC category of your Pip-Boy. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"infestations\"\u003eInfestations\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfestations are a new form of end-game content meant to reward those who explore the map and challenge experienced players with high-stakes combat and provide new unique 4-Star Legendary rewards. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfestations must be discovered as you’re exploring the world, which means they won’t be marked on the Paper Map or flagged in your Pip-Boy until you discover one.  They’re organic encounters and you’ll know you have walked into an infested area because the enemies you would expect to be there have been pushed out and a new faction has taken their place.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"infestationlocations\"\u003eInfestation Locations\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfestations can happen at locations across the Toxic Valley, Forest, Ash Heap, Savage Divide, Mire, and Cranberry Bog regions. Multiple Infestations can be active across Appalachia at any given time, but if nobody comes to clear them the faction infesting the area will clear out and head off to another area.  \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExploring Appalachia is the best way to find these Infestation locations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"infestationenemies\"\u003eInfestation Enemies\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen an infestation takes over a location the enemies that usually ruled that area are pushed out and overtaken by a new faction. At launch, the Blood Eagles, Cultists, PRC Ghouls, Mole Miners, Scorched, Super Mutants, and Robots all have the chance of being the new ruling faction in the area.  \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese new enemies will hit harder and be tougher to take down. There will also be accompanied by an elite-level boss.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Infestation boss will have their own unique weapon and be afflicted by a random Mutation to alter the fight even further. If you’re heading out to find an Infestation, make sure you’re well geared and ready for a fight.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore factions may also find their way into infesting Appalachia in the future. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"infestationrewards\"\u003eInfestation Rewards\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile clearing an Infestation you should expect to get standard loot from the lower-tier faction enemies, but defeating the Infestation boss is where the big rewards come in. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeating the Infestation boss will give you a guaranteed 3-Star item and a high chance of a 4-Star Legendary weapon or armor piece. This update will also introduce new 4-Star mods that can only be obtained through Infestations gameplay. The 4-Star weapons and armor you get from participating have a chance to have these mods attached. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s a sneak peek  at two of the exclusive Infestation 4-Star Mods:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVector (Armor Mod): Increase accuracy in V.A.T.S. from a very long distance by 10% (up to 50%) \u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarnished (Weapon Mod): The lower the equipped item condition, the greater the weapon damage (up to 120%). \u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"teamingup\"\u003eTeaming Up\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Infestations can be cleared solo, if you’re extremely well prepared, they are meant to be challenging and become way more manageable with a team. If you want to hunt for Infestations with a team, make sure to create or join an Exploration Public Team.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a member of your team finds an Infestation all other group members will receive a popup asking if they would like to Fast Travel to their teammate’s location. This allows you to cover way more area in your quest to find and clear out these Infestations. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"infestationstestingplans\"\u003eInfestations Testing Plans\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the start of the PTS Infestations will be activated at a higher rate than they will be in the live game to give you more opportunities to test the content. \u003cbr /\u003e\nThe first week of PTS testing will have the highest number of Infestations potentially active and then we will bring the number of active Infestations closer to the value we intend to launch with over time.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"knownissues\"\u003eKnown Issues\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHold to join on controller (d-pad down) doesn't work.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaving an infestation as a party will cause the world activity callout to be removed and it doesn't come back when you rejoin.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeing on the map and trying to fast travel from the world activities as someone finds an infestation will cause the infestation world activity to not allow a player to fast travel to it.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"deathclawcamppet\"\u003eDeathclaw C.A.M.P.

One of the most dangerous and scariest creatures in Wasteland will now be able to make a home in your C.A.M.P.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deathclaw C.A.M.P. Pet will be available for testing during this PTS. You’ll immediately notice that it is the largest C.A.M.P. Pet we’ve added to the game, so we want to know where it does and doesn’t fit. So, make sure to share your feedback on this dangerously adorable creature. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Note: The Deathclaw C.A.M.P.

We have plans to add new and unique fish that you can only catch during the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter seasons. For this PTS, we will be focusing on Summer Fish.  This will also come with new fishing challenges and rewards for you to obtain. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese new fish can’t be turned into Fish Bits like the other Appalachian fish though. That’s because they can be used to craft new seasonal food recipes. We’re not going to cover what the recipes are, what advantages they provide, or the locations for these new fish here. Our hope is that you’ll be able to discover all that on your own.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you do want a little hint on where to start looking, head over to Fisherman’s Rest and find a note from Captain Raymond.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 id=\"knownissue\"\u003eKnown Issue\u003c/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“Casting Off” Wont’ Progress Past “Listen to Linda-Lee Shortwave Signal”\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a known issue where the “Casting Off” quest looks like it won’t progress past the “Listen to the Linda-Lee Shortwave Signal” objective after tuning into the broadcast.
