The E3 starts today so be prepared for more first person shooter and RPG games stories from us instead of airsoft and firearms this week. With many airsoft players also avid video game aficionados, E3 provides us an insight on some of the games that airsoft players will look forward to playing when it gets cold outside to play airsoft later this year. We start with the Bethesda’s Fallout 76 Reveal.

Bethesda announced Sunday night that Fallout 76 will be an online role playing survival game. 25 years after the nuclear war, Reclamation Day begins as the Vault 76  dwellers emerge into the outside world to see a post-nuclear America. Players can play solo or work in groups in order to survive in this online game. This also means that the players will embark on being the first ones on rebuilding society in a ravaged landscape.

As what the teaser video of Fallout 76 hinted, where John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads”, the game takes place in West Virginia. The game will be huge in terms of expanse and Bethesda says it is four times bigger than Fallout 4 with six regions for the players to explore. It is a “shared world” like Destiny. Players will form temporary alliances to survive and they will have to watch their backs, allies can quickly become enemies as they want to gain territory to build bases.

In Fallout 76, just like Fallout 4, building settlements is part and parcel of the game. Using the resources found in the game, players can build whatever type of base they want and they’ll be able to defend it as well with weapons. With the Construction and Assembly Mobile Platform, or C.A.M.P., they will be able to build their settlements and put defensive weapons fast.

Now, even in the aftermath of a nuclear war, players will be able to find nuclear facilities in the game to find nuclear codes. Now, players will decide if they want to launch nuclear missiles against other player’s bases. But they will also have to take note that other players may have their own launch codes to nuke back.

Fallout 76 with include mutated beasts that players will need to watch out for, one of these is called a Scorchbeast which looks like a massive bat that fires sonic blasts.

If you want to be one of the first to emerge from Vault 76 and immediately play the game, there is a "Break it Early Test Application" or BETA for short, when you pre-order. Fallout 76 will be available to play in 14 November 2018. Be ready to build your bases and watch for nukes when it gets released.
