The wait is finally over – the largest update to Fallout 76 since 2020 is now available, and best of all it’s free. Set in a dry and burned region of post-nuclear Ohio, Burning Springs offers new factions and challenges, brand-new weapons and gear, and a host of bounty-hunting missions from everyone’s favourite character ‘The Ghoul’. Let’s dig in and find out exactly what’s going down, as the Fallout 76: Burning Springs update is live now.
Per the developers:
“Bounty Hunting
New with this update, players can now undertake the ruthless pursuit of Bounty Hunting, an endless series of missions from ‘The Ghoul’. Players can find the iconic character at ‘The Last Resort’ in Highway Town and pick up a bounty mission unique to Burning Springs. New Grunt Hunt and tougher Head Hunt bounties will always be rolling in, so players should check in with ‘The Ghoul’ often to pick up the latest bounties – and their rewards upon completion.
Burning Springs
Burning Springs is Fallout 76’s largest update since 2020, introducing players to an arid and charred region of post-nuclear Ohio, complete with new factions, challenges, unique weapons and gear, and even new fish to catch.
In this new location, players can find the Rust King, an intelligent Super Mutant who has no shortage of work for them across Burning Springs. The region brings public events, workshops, and even a wild local menace called the Rad Hog, which can become a C.A.M.P. Pet for those brave enough to tame it.
We first reported on this free update back in October, you can check out the article here.
