“Summer will bring another series of major updates to Fallout 76, including Nuclear Winter - an entirely new way to play that changes the rules of the wasteland.”— fallout.bethesda.net
Nuclear Winter is the second major update for Fallout 76, adding a new battle royale gamemode and endgame team dungeons.[1] It was preceded by Wild Appalachia and was followed by Wastelanders.
Plot[]
The update focuses on the other vaults in Appalachia, other than Vault 76 and the fate of their inhabitants.
The player character can relive the last days of Vault 51 as they attempt to claim the title of vault overseer and the vault's supercomputer, through a battle royale-style game mode. In this mode, players attempt to outlast and defeat one another before being engulfed by the pyroclastic storm,[2] an ever-shrinking ring of deadly nuclear fire.
The player character can also explore inside Vault 94, teaming up with others to fix an emergency that would otherwise destroy the vault.
