Expeditions

Expeditions is an upcoming PvE game mode for Fallout 76. The system takes players to explore travel outside of Appalachia. Players will encounter NPCs.

The first "Expedition" is Expeditions: The Pitt.

Background
After the Great War, the area became known as the Pitt. It is dominated by mutated monstrosities and other threats. Former Vault Dwellers from Appalachia's Vault 76 visit its ruins.
 * The Fanatics
 * The Union

Gameplay
Overall, Expeditions are story driven, repeatable missions to various locations, starting with the Pitt in 2022. There will be new rewards. The Pitt will be accessed by a new hub in Whitespring. According to the roadmap update, there will be interactable NPCs with quests and dialogue trees. A datamine shows there will be a character the Vault Dwellers communicate with named Hex.
 * Your progress is quick-saved for later should you choose to quit early.
 * Expeditions public teams

Missions
Each Expedition is split into several missions, each with their own playable zone.

Fuel quests
Repeatable quests that reward the player with a fuel currency used to power the vertibird.

Rewards
Rewards are distributed by an after-mission report.
 * Auto axe
 * PTS Pennant (PC-only; participate in PTS beta testing for Expeditions)

Behind the scenes
According to Steve Massey, the next city after the Pitt will be a city never before seen in the series.
