Gleaming Depths (update)

This page is about the update released in December 2024. For other uses of the term Gleaming Depths, see Gleaming Depths.

Gleaming Depths, also known as Raids: The Gleaming Depths,^[1] is the twenty-first major update for Fallout 76. It was released on December 3, 2024.^[2] It was preceded by Milepost Zero and was followed by Ghoul Within.

The update includes high-level endgame raids with four-star legendary gear as rewards, as well as season 19 and CAMP pets.

Background[]

The update was teased by creative director Jonathan Rush at QuakeCon in August 2024, showing a teaser trailer featuring the ultracite-heavy Gleaming Depths location, as well as fights against an emplaced sentry bot (the EN06 Guardian), mole miners and a new giant boss enemy resembling a cobra (the Ultracite Terror).^[3]

In an interview at Gamescom 2024, Rush revealed more information about the update, including the fact that it would be focused on endgame raids, with four-star legendary gear as the rewards.^[1]^[4]

Additionally, in September 2024, CAMP pets were announced to be coming to the game at the end of 2024, with the Gleaming Depths update.^[5] The Public Test Server for Gleaming Depths launched on September 27, 2024; pets were tested beginning on September 30, and raids were enabled on October 4. A preview for season 19, published on November 22, announced the update's definitive release date of December 3.^[2] The update successfully launched on that day.
