Wastelanders

Wastelanders is the third add-on for Fallout 76.

Being the first annual update, the expansion is slated to be massive, fundamentally changing the wasteland. On January 10th, 2020, an announcement was put out that Wastelanders was to have a private test server session for community members invited or opting into the event to test an early version of the add-on, slated to begin on the 17th.

Plot
