That's only the community calender with upcoming events and the start of season 7.

Zetans and 4*s will most likely be announced a couple of days before the next PTS version goes up. So, early January or so.

Quick reminder:

It's patch day, end of season 6 and start of season 7 so make sure you claim your open rewards.

Also, it's likely that the auto complete bug for weeklies is still there so I'd honestly play something else until it's confirmed that it works as intended.

Season 7 Begins: Dr. Zorbo will have his revenge against Captain Cosmos—and you’re going to help! Rank up and claim stellar new rewards on the Season 7 Scoreboard, all while traveling the stars to aid Zorbo in assembling a devious crew.

Quality-of-Life Improvements: We’ve added Legendary Loot Sharing, Nearby Corpse Looting, a Pip-Boy Keyring, and many more community-requested improvements to the game.

Public Event Updates: We’ve made some improvements to help streamline our Public Event system and implemented balance changes for a variety of Public Events.

Pirate Radio: A rogue broadcast is invading Appalachia’s airwaves! Tune your Pip-Boy to Pirate Radio to tap your toes to new tunes, catch radio dramas, and commercials.

Update Version 1.6.2.16
Check the download sizes below for today’s patch on your platform of choice:

PlayStation: 18.5 GB

New Seasonal Event: Mothman Equinox
A group of robed travelers have just arrived in Appalachia, and they’ve taken up residence at Point Pleasant to celebrate a dubious occasion known as the Mothman Equinox. Calling themselves “The Enlightened,” this sect of the Wise Mothman’s most devoted followers plan to summon the cryptid through an elaborate ritual. Aid their dark endeavors and fend off rival cultists to earn the Wise Mothman’s favor!

Until December 21, the Mothman Equinox Seasonal Event will take place every hour at the top of the hour at Point Pleasant in the Forest region of Appalachia.

Begin the event by speaking with Interpreter Clarence on the roof of the Mothman Museum.

Join other Dwellers to aid the Enlightened in completing ceremonial tasks around Point Pleasant, lighting ritual bonfires, and defending against an onslaught of rival Mothman Cultists.

If you manage to finish each objective before its timer expires, head back to the Mothman Museum’s roof to complete the final step of the summoning, commune with the Wise Mothman, and have a chance to earn new themed plans.

While you’re in Point Pleasant, don’t forget to hunt around for ways to learn more about the origins of the mysterious Enlightened.

As long the Mothman Equinox Seasonal Event is live, you’ll also encounter Cultist High Priests during your adventures throughout Appalachia. Hunt down and dispatch them for more chances to earn Mothman Cult themed rewards, but watch out for their shadow creatures!

Fallout 76 Season 7: Zorbo’s Revenge
Former (and self-proclaimed) Emperor of the Universe, Dr. Zorbo, has never forgotten his crushing defeat at the hands of Captain Cosmos during “The Legendary Run.” Now, Zorbo seeks to enact revenge by assembling a villainous crew, who will help him build a massive war machine he’ll use to obliterate the Captain. Here’s what’s headed your way during Fallout 76 Season 7, which begins today:

New Scoreboard: Join forces with Dr. Zorbo on the “Zorbo’s Revenge” Scoreboard as he travels from planet to plant to recruit a crack team that will help him take down Captain Cosmos. Along the way, you’ll be able to earn a host of new in-game rewards this Season, including cosmetics, in-game currencies, consumables, C.A.M.P. objects, and much more!

New Allies: As you rank up on the Scoreboard, you will also unlock Xerxo and Katherine, two new Allies who can join you in your C.A.M.P., sell you their wares, and offer a daily buff.

To Rank 100, and Beyond!: As with the previous Season, you can once again surpass Rank 100 to continue earning additional rank-up rewards through the end of Season 7. Each rank you achieve after 100 will award items like Perk Card Packs, consumables, Atoms, and more.

Quality-of-Life Improvements
Community feedback plays an important role in how we approach shaping and leveling-up Fallout 76, and we love reading all of your ideas about what you’d like to see added to the game. With today’s update, we’re implementing a number quality-of-life improvements that have been suggested to us by many of you in the community. We hope you enjoy digging into them in-game, and that you will continue sharing your thoughts with us.

Nearby Corpse Looting: Unlike many of the creatures who cross your path in the Wasteland, you’re a born survivor! Whenever corpses start to pile up, you’ll no longer need to pick through each and every one to grab your loot. When viewing a fallen enemy’s inventory, you can now see and collect all the goodies that the creatures around you have dropped by hitting the “Nearby Corpses” button. Happy looting!

Legendary Loot Sharing: Going forward, if you’re within sight range of a legendary creature when it’s killed, you’ll be able to loot it. With this improvement, the days of trying to hit legendary enemies before they die, are over.

Team XP Sharing: Sharing is caring, and leveling-up as you adventure with your team is about to get easier than ever. Every enemy that you or a teammate takes down will now grant XP to everyone on the team, so long as they are within sight range of the creature when it dies.

Build Menu “New” Tab: We’re adding a “New” tab to your C.A.M.P. build menu that will display any new C.A.M.P. item plans you’ve learned during your current play session, as well as new C.A.M.P. items you’ve unlocked in the Atomic Shop.

Pip-Boy Keyring: Tired of all those keys cluttering up your Pip-Boy? Get organized with the Keyring, which is a new item in your “Misc.” inventory tab that stores all of the keys you’ve collected from your adventures in the Wasteland. Click it to view or access any keys in your collection as needed.

Pip-Boy Menu Color Customization: Show your true colors by changing the hue of your Pip-Boy menus using a new set of customization sliders that we’ve added to the game’s settings.

Ammo Everywhere: The contextual ammo system has been a very popular aspect of Daily Ops, and so we’d like to bring it to all of Appalachia. Now, all existing sources of ammo, like containers and creature loot, have a chance to drop a small amount of ammo for your currently equipped weapon.

Public Event Updates
We’re bringing a variety of improvements to Public Events through some adjustments to the Public Event system itself, the addition of a reward preview to Public Event map descriptions, and a number of balance change across many of the events that are currently available in-game.

Public Event System Updates
We’ve streamlined the way that Public Events become available in-game by making the cooldown times between events much more consistent.

Public Event start times are now based on real-world time, and a new one will begin every 20 minutes across all worlds.

Each world’s next Public Event is selected at random. In addition, a Public Event can no longer appear twice in a row in the same world.

Seasonal Public Events that begin every hour, like Grahm’s Meat-Cook or Mothman Equinox, will take priority over normal Public Events.

We’ve adjusted the timers for the following Public Events to help them fit within the 20-minute Public Event time cadence:

Campfire Tales

Distinguished Guests

Feed the People

Heart of the Swamp

Line in the Sand

One Violent Night

Path to Enlightenment

Project Paradise

Radiation Rumble

Tea Time

The Motherlode

Uranium Fever

A few Public Events, like Scorched Earth and A Colossal Problem, have special requirements in order to start and can be triggered at any time. That has not changed, and these events are not part of the timed Public Event rotation.

Public Event Reward Previews
As mentioned above, you can now preview the rewards that are up for grabs at each Public Event directly from the event’s description on the Map.

Select an available Public Event on the Map to display its description, and view some of the big-ticket items that are possible to earn if you manage to complete that event successfully.

Public Event Balance Adjustments
Previously, some of our Public Events could be a little too difficult, end in failure too suddenly, or even last too long. We’re implementing balance changes for a number of Public Events to help smooth out some of these rough spots and improve the experience of playing through them.

Campfire Tales

The campfire often died down too quickly, which could cause the event to fail more easily than we’d like. Now, the campfire will burn a little longer, giving you and your event mates some more time to feed the flames.

Free Range

The Brahmin during Free Range were too fragile, so we’ve beefed up their resistances to help them survive more easily (though they will still need you to defend them).

Guided Meditation

Feral Ghouls now consistently run toward and attack the speakers, preventing an issue where they could remain idle in the parking lot.

Ghouls may sometimes still stand around if they don’t sniff out new prey right away, but they will always be much closer to the action.

We’ve reduced Ghouls’ overall difficulty during Guided Meditation to account for their increased speaker-busting effectiveness.

Line in the Sand

Line in the Sand was taking a bit too long to come to an end. It now has an overall time limit of 10 minutes, and uses timers to determine how long Scorched attack waves last, rather than requiring you to kill all enemies in a given wave. These changes should help the event flow more smoothly and reduce downtime throughout.

Upon reaching the event’s time limit, it will not fail so long as the generator is still standing. You will receive more rewards, however, if you managed to defeat all of the enemy waves.

Project Paradise

To help reduce the event’s difficulty, we’re lowering the amount of food required to level-up each biome’s creatures to 15 per rank.

We’re also adding some more resistances to friendly creatures that spawn during the event.

Project Paradise no longer ends in failure if you do not manage to kill the Alpha creatures. To succeed, players only need to defend the friendly creatures. However, rewards will be reduced if the Alphas are still alive at the end of the event.

Radiation Rumble

To encourage players to participate in the ore collection objective more often, we’re lowering the requirements to 5, 15, 30, and 50 ore for reward tiers one through four, respectively.

Radiation Rumble now has an overall time limit of 8 minutes, even if you have already reached the final ore collection tier. This way, you can continue defending against enemy attack waves until the event concludes.

We’ve also lowered the spawn rate of non-Ghoul enemies at certain Ore thresholds to prevent overwhelming enemy numbers.

Finally, we’ve doubled the Scavengers’ resistances to make them more survivable.

Swarm of Suitors

We’ve addressed a number of bugs that could prevent players from receiving the highest tier of rewards and from successfully completing the event. We’ve also made some design adjustments to streamline the event.

Swarm of Suitors has been redesigned to focus on killing Mirelurks within a certain amount of time, rather than preventing them from reaching the island.

Now, players must kill all Mirelurks in each of three attack waves before the objective timer expires. If they don’t manage to defeat an attack wave in time, a Mirelurk Queen will spawn and the event will end in failure.

Tea Time

Tea Time could end in failure too quickly at times, in part due to some of the pipes breaking too easily. As a result, we’ve increased the health for two of the three pipes so that they match the sturdiest one.

We’ve also tuned enemy attack waves to spawn creatures at a more consistent frequency to keep up the action.

Additionally, Rad Ants and Ticks no longer spawn enemy waves that attack the pipes. However, Rad Ants and Bloatflies now spawn in separate enemy waves that focus their attacks on players.

Tune Into Pirate Radio!
It seems someone out there in the Wasteland has found a way to hijack the airwaves to begin broadcasting their very own Pirate Radio Station! Open your Pip-Boy and tune into the new station to tap your toes to hours of new jingles, and catch a blast from the past with radio dramas and commercials from life before the bombs dropped. The audio interloper behind this rogue station has yet to reveal their identity, and until they do, you can at least enjoy some fresh tunes during your adventures in Appalachia.

Mothman event is fun, but definitely do it before monday. There's a part where you have to defend 3 brittle pyres and unless you have a team of three competent people with good gear or an entire server to brute force this part, it's almost impossible to get the best result from that part of the event.

In my limited experience (started 76 last december) with Fasnatch and other similar events, there's a huge amount of players the first couple of days and the first weekend after the update. Beyond that there's usually a lot less players, which is a problem if the same thing happens with the Mothman Equinox.

That shouldn't be a problem anymore. The latest patch significantly reduced the amount of damage you take from your own explosives so Fireproof 3 should do the trick. :)

Logged for the first time since weeks because I was burnt out after the last season blitz.

The only thing that annoys me about this update is that the AP fix to some weapons is rear end and inconsistent. Before this patch I could mag dump my Q Fixer and still have ~10% AP left. Now? 25 bullets seems the new normal before I'm out of AP. Sometimes half a mag. Rarely a full mag. Really weird.

Might as well store my Q Fixers and get out the Bloodied ones again. Or pack some coffee. Oh well, moving on.

The Mothman event owns and the fact that stealth doesn't work makes it a decent challenge. Feels balanced, doesn't take too bloody long and the atmosphere during it is incredibly well done. Love it.

For even more fun, and as a surprise to those who don't know it yet, put the Perfect Mothman Egg in the altar behind the statue. Doing this allows Mothman Hatchlings to spawn during the waves. :allears:

Tried to solo it, succeeded, got the Throne plan as reward. That actually felt like a reward but the running between the three pyres is a bit much.

Is it doable, yes. Is it fun, not for long.

Did a DO afterwards and got a 1* and gently caress all else. Can't wait for the plans to be sold by Minerva. The armor sucks compared to the SS armor but I need ALL the plans. :v:

Area looting is great.

The contextual ammo system needs to be expanded to match the DO version. Finding more .45 in ammo boxes is cool but it's just not enough. Guess they feared that making it like in the DOs no one would run them anymore and, quite frankly, they'd be right.

Found some legendary cultists out in the wild. Seems like a waste as the spawn rate is low and there is nothing but 2 apparel items to find.

The correct answer to which Cultist outfit you want as reward from the event is:

Cultist whatever Robe with Cultist Incarnate Helmet. :colbert:

Not sure I care enough to really bother with the season, there isn't much on the scoreboard I'd want.

I sold my spare but if I ever find a new one that's not rear end I'll get back to you.

However, I wouldn't focus too much on Bloodied. Pretty much any Fixer is good at low health, especially if you can find one with Faster Fire Rate as secondary and Faster Crit Refill, 25% Less AP Cost, or Faster Reload as tertiary.

Plus, I didn't even know that you could play this game without a Beth account in the first place. :confused:

I wish you could dual wield all the stupid one handed weapons. Double rolling pins would be very funny.

At least all those useless T-45 pieces you get from legendaries in West Tek sell for decent scrip. :v:

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?
how's 76 run on pc nowadays? i'm pretty happy with the performance i get with fallout 4, but 76 is a whole different animal. (for reference I have a gtx 970 with a 11600k)

surprisingly stable tbh, you can tell there's a lot of tech fixes they applied to the engine in F76 that they never bothered to try to apply to F4. Much easier to get decent FPS, crashes are much less frequent.

Yeah, they did a lot to improve the stability.

In my experience, there are 3 reasons for a crash.

When you fast travel A LOT in quick succession and over different biomes.

Scorched Earth is on and you have a bunch of weirdos who rock up with rocket launchers and fatmans. That can lead to a crash although it's really rare.

The server shits the bed. This is, by a significant margin, the biggest crash reason. Lag is normal when someone runs a silo and is in the launch prep stage, Death from Above has started and the assets are prepared or the hourly main event is starting.

If the lag persists for more than a minute or two, hop servers because if the server isn't making GBS threads the bed immediately it will do so during the event.

All of this is rare, though. I played a lot over the last week and I crashed twice.

client/server sync jank is really my biggest complaint about F76, it's very bad and you are kept in the dark exactly how bad it is because there's no gauge for what your current latency/ping is except the "server not responding, controls disabled" ultimate backstop. nothing to be done about this when the game is this far along though.
