Finally, players waiting eagerly for the highly anticipated Wastelanders update for Fallout 76 have some good news. Back in 2018, when the game was released, it drew heavy criticism for it’s broken gameplay and inadequate features. The fact that Fallout 76 lacked a certain human element was one of the chief complaints.
Without any non-playable characters (NPCs) to interact with in-game, it massively lacked personality.
Fortunately, though, Bethesda has rectified these issues with the new Fallout 76: Wastelanders update. The update finally went live on April 14 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC after recent delays. Incidentally, existing players are the biggest winners of the situation, as the Wastelanders update is entirely free of charge for them.
