What is Fallout 76 like?

Up to four of you team up in Appalachia for quests and events, each building your own camp.

Up to four of you form a team from the Social menu and play on the same Appalachia server, and you don't have to stick together, since teammates can fast travel to each other's C.A.M.P. for free. Each player builds their own camp, while the team shares quests and instanced locations and can share perk cards too. A night together often goes to public events, which pop up on the map every so often, or to Daily Ops, a randomized instanced mission that pays more the faster you clear it. PvP only starts when the player you shot fires back.
