And now, the text bits:

In our upcoming Season for Fallout 76, we’ll all be putting our crime fighting skills to the test as we join The Unstoppables on a brand-new Scoreboard. We’re sharing everything you need to know as you gear up to take on Season 6 when the Fallout Worlds Update arrives on September 8. Be sure to check out our latest Community Calendar as well to learn about the many activities that we have planned for the community over the next few months.

INTRODUCING SEASON 6: THE UNSTOPPABLES VS. THE DIABOLICALS

Raid your closet for a cape, a mask, and anything you can find that’s made from spandex, because in Fallout 76 Season 6 you’re going to team up with The Unstoppables on their latest adventure! The villainous SamurEye, Pyramind, and Catarax have grown tired of our heroes shutting down their individual plots and plans over the years. Now, they’ve joined forces to become The Diabolicals, and they’re on a mission to put a stop to The Unstoppables once and for all. Achieve 100 rank-ups (and beyond!) on the all-new “The Unstoppables VS. The Diabolicals” Scoreboard this Season. As you do, you’ll be able to claim lots of new rewards and aid The Inspector, Silver Shroud, Mistress of Mystery, Manta Man, and Grognak the Barbarian as they foil the Diabolicals’ criminal schemes.

NEW REWARDS AND CHALLENGES

As you progress on the Scoreboard, you’ll be able to claim a reward each time you reach a new rank, such as consumable items, in-game currencies, Legendary Cores and Modules, weapon skins, C.A.M.P. objects, lots of Unstoppables themed cosmetics, and much more! With Season 5, we introduced the ability to continue your Season journey well beyond the previous rank 100 maximum, and Season 6 will do the same. You’ll continue earning rewards for every rank you hit past 100, which includes Perk Card Packs, Legendary Crafting components, consumables, and Atoms.

If you’re going to be fighting crime alongside The Unstoppables this Season, you’re also going to need to look the part! We’re adding new Daily and Weekly Challenges to the Season lineup that will ask you to take down creatures or complete events while in costume, or while dressed as a member of The Unstoppables. Don’t worry if your wardrobe is currently lacking in the costume department, the Unstoppables and sidekick themed items you can earn as you rank up will help you progress these Challenges.

MEET DAPHNE AND MAUL

Season 6 also brings two new Allies to the game in Daphne and Maul, and you will be able to unlock them by reaching ranks 25 and 50, respectively. They won’t send you on quests, but they will keep you company in your C.A.M.P., sell you some of the items they’ve managed to scavenge, and give you a buff once per day.

• Daphne – By day, Daphne is a child of the Wasteland. At night, she transforms into her alter ego, The Inspector! In exchange for some Caps, she’ll sell you toys, snacks, and drinks. She’ll also offer two different buffs, depending on what time of day you speak with her. During the day, Daphne will grant you some bonus Luck and the ability to identify magazines and comics more easily. As The Inspector, she’ll cast a spell to increase your Perception, help you find more food from containers, and extra caps from caps stashes.
• Maul – As soon as you meet Maul, you’ll quickly realize that this talkative Super Mutant is obsessed with his hero, Grognak. Speak with Maul each day to earn his trust and learn more about him. You will be able to buy various types of meat and meat-themed plans from him, and the buff he has to share will improve your Strength, increase your rad resistance, and make your melee weapons feel lighter in your hands.

Visit the Fallout 76 Seasons website to preview many of the new rewards that will be up for grabs during Season 6, like the new Allies, SamurEye Power Armor, Unstoppables outfits, weapon skins, and other cosmetics, and new CAMP items, among many others.

GET DOUBLE S.C.O.R.E. AS SEASON 5 CONCLUDES

Season 6 is approaching fast! As Season 5 comes to an end, revisit the “Escape from the 42nd Century” Scoreboard to make sure you’ve claimed all of the rewards you unlocked during your time with K.D. Inkwell. Once Season 5 concludes, any unclaimed rewards will no longer be available.

In case you are still chasing after a few final rank-ups and rewards, we’ve doubled the S.C.O.R.E. from all of your Daily and Weekly Challenges until 12:00 p.m. ET (16:00 UTC) on September 7. Head in-game and start knocking out those Challenges over the next few days so that you can end your visit to the 42nd century on a high note.

NEW COMMUNITY CALENDAR

We can hardly believe it’s already September! Even though we’re heading into the final few months of the year, there’s still plenty of excitement to come before we ring in 2022. The Fallout Worlds and Winter Updates we’re planning to release will bring new features and improvements to Fallout 76. In addition, the Wasteland will be buzzing with lots of in-game events that you can take part in just about every week. Whether you’re looking to hunt down Spooky Scorched in October, claim some Holiday Gifts in December, or square off against enemies with Double Mutations in Daily Ops, you can stay on top of everything that’s taking place in Appalachia with our latest Community Calendar. Be sure to set reminders for the updates, community activities, and weekend events that catch your eye so that you don’t miss out on any of the action[…]

We hope you’ve enjoyed this overview of what’s coming to the game with Season 6, and that you’ll join us in the Wasteland for the events that we outlined in our new Community Calendar. Until next time, we’ll see you in Appalachia!
