10 Solid Reasons Why Wastelanders Fixes Fallout 76

Fallout 76 was an ambitious entry into the post-apocalyptic franchise in 2018. However, the series’ first multiplayer outing was always going to be a tough sell to a good portion of the fanbase who enjoyed the single-player aspects of the hit games. This made the lacking and buggy release of the base Fallout 76 experience a disaster for the series’ reputation.

Following the aggressively cold reception Fallout 76 received at release, as well as a steady flow of bad press to unfold in the months after, Fallout 76 carries a harsh stigma with it. Moldy collectibles, leaked customer information, anti-consumer practices, and a full blown class war between players has earned the game a shoddy perception.

However, the developers have remained loyal to working on the game over the past year. In a similar story to the likes of No Man’s Sky, Fallout 76 has made real efforts to deliver a title worthy of the Fallout name. Most notably, there is the April 14 game-changing update entitled Wastelanders. For some more context on this, here’s 10 good reasons why Wastelanders will fix Fallout 76.

Fallout 76 is super cheap now

Purchasing Fallout 76 at release for full price wasn’t a great deal. Buyers at large were more than likely less than pleased. However, players can currently find the game for about $15 online, or even cheaper if you get lucky! Plus, the new Wastelanders update is available to players for absolutely free starting on April 14.

Fallout 76 will finally feature actual NPCs

A major issue that players had with Fallout 76 at release was the noticeable lack of non-player characters in the world. As the Fallout games have been known for their wide cast of interesting and enjoyable characters, this was a major blow to interest in the title.

Wastelanders hopes to right this wrong by dumping tons of new characters to interact with into the world. Of course, they will bring new quests and backstories with them, too.
