In 2102, 25 years after the Great War, you leave Vault 76 as a Vault Dweller and enter the post-nuclear wilderness of Appalachia. Play solo or alongside other players as you venture through the region and take part in its effort to rebuild.
Explore varied landscapes, search abandoned places for supplies and stories, fight mutated creatures, and follow quests involving factions and their competing interests. You can also join public events and encounter the region’s unusual cryptids.
Scavenged materials support crafting and equipment upgrades, while the S.P.E.C.I.A.L.-based progression system lets you shape your character around different combat styles. Establish a C.A.M.P. to build a home in the wilderness, and continue developing your character through quests, events, and collected gear.
Players who enjoy the game often value Appalachia as a place to explore, with environmental stories, varied locations, quests, and events to discover. Base building and shaping different character builds are frequent highlights, as are playing with friends and the occasional helpful encounter with other players. Some reviewers also enjoy treating it as a relaxed solo adventure, while others find the online structure and recurring activities less engaging.
