Bethesda has dropped the official launch trailer for its latest free update, Fallout 76: Infestations, giving dwellers a gritty, action-packed look at the new chaos taking over Appalachia. If you thought the wasteland was already dangerous, it’s time to stock up on RadAway and grab your best weapons—things are about to get a lot more crowded.
What Is Fallout 76: Infestations?
The Infestations update introduces a dynamic twist to exploration. Familiar locations across the West Virginia map are being overrun by “infested” zones. These areas become hotbeds for high-level, aggressive enemy variants that will test the mettle of even the most seasoned Vault dwellers.
If you’re willing to brave the swarm, the risks come with some seriously massive rewards.
Key Features In The Update:
- Infested Zones: Dynamic map events where familiar landmarks are taken over by hordes of high-level foes.
- 4-Star Legendary Gear: For the first time, players can hunt down elite enemies to secure highly coveted 4-Star Legendary weapons and armour mods.
- Free Daily Rewards: To celebrate the launch, Bethesda is offering free daily in-game rewards for players logging in between June 7 and June 15.
The trailer perfectly captures the frantic energy of squad-based combat, showcasing players defending their C.A.M.P.s and raiding infested zones with everything from heavy plasma rifles to modified melee weapons. It’s clear that teamwork—or an incredibly overpowered build—is going to be essential to survive the outbreak.
