Players can now hop in and play the Fallout 76 Survival Mode Beta on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
This new, more competitive way to play Fallout 76 Surviva is separate from the main game and provides players with fewer player vs. player (PVP) restrictions, higher stakes for PVP combat, scoreboards, and more.
Here are the patch notes from the developere:
High-stakes death mechanics
On death, players will drop a random amount of the Aid items that were in their inventory in addition to all their Junk.
o Cap rewards for player kills, and Cap deductions on death, have been doubled in Survival Mode.
o When killed during PVP combat, players can choose to spend a portion of their Caps to place a Bounty on their killer.
• Limited Fast Travel and Respawn locations
o Fast Travel is limited to Vault 76, the player’s C.A.M.P., Train Stations, and any Workshops that player owns.
o Respawn is limited to Vault 76, the player’s C.A.M.P., and Train Stations.
o Players will become invulnerable for a brief period after Fast Traveling or Respawning, though firing your weapon before the time expires will remove invulnerability.
• Scoreboards
o Scoreboards have been implemented, which rank players in the current world across a variety of stat categories based on their performance during the current life, as well as their best life for the week.
o The top three players on the Longest Life Scoreboard will display a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal next to their player icons.
