Someone’s going to build a deadly vault, obviously

Begone the travails of fighting against terrain to build your shoddyFallout 76camp with wood you’ve scraped off fallen trees. Life is oh so much better below.Fallout 76is adding underground vault instances for your base where you can build without the restrictions out in the fresh air. You can test out the Vault Shelters this weekend on the public test server before they’re added to the game later this year.

The particularly freeing bit about Shelters is that they’re personal instances where you’re in control. After placing a door to the Shelter in your camp, the area is yours to build and decorate. Because it’s instanced, you’ll also have a building budget separate from the rest of your camp. Bethesda say you can build multiple entrances to the same shelter or even have one of each type in your camp if you choose.

Bethesda had planned to have the test server up and running yesterday, though it sounds like they’ve encountered some issues and are hoping to have it up this evening. You can keep an eye on its status in theirforum thread. Once it is live, you’ll be able to hop in via the Fallout 76 PTS in the Bethesda launcher. (Update: It’s live now.)

Fallout 76 has other plans for the rest of the year including new story quests, armor, and weapons. ItsOne Wasteland updaterecently added level scaling and legendary perks to Appalachia as well. You can read more about Vault Shelters inBethesda’s post.
