The Public Test Server (PTS) is a feature in Fallout 76 that allows selected users to test upcoming content for the game. It was first introduced for the Wastelanders update as a Private Test Server, though subsequent updates have been fully public.
The Public Test Server is exclusive to PC players, who are encouraged to report issues encountered during testing so that they may be patched before the content's official release.

Canonicity
Because content from the PTS is subject to change, articles concerning PTS content that has not yet been added to the official game should be tagged as such. Once the content is officially released, the tag can be removed.
Although the Public Test Server can be freely datamined and reported on, any content from a Private Test Server that involves the signing of an non-disclosure agreement (NDA) should not be added to the wiki for legal reasons. If content from a Private Test Server remains unchanged when it is officially added to the game, then there is no issue, though any changes made during the course of the Private Test Server should not be recorded, as it falls under NDA.
Notes
- Bethesda has internally discussed bringing the PTS to consoles, though the difficulty of maintaining several PTS builds of the game for consoles, on top of the official version of the game, has made it unviable.
- In an attempt to encourage participation in playtesting, Bethesda offers an incentive in the way of a PTS pennant reward that one can display at their C.A.M.P. in the live game. The user must fulfill a certain number of activities to receive the reward, such as participating for a certain number of days, completing multiplayer Daily Ops sessions, or filling a certain percentage of their shelter budget.[1] Framed and unframed versions of a PTS pennant for both Vault Boy and Vault Girl are offered for completing the requirements.
