Fallout 76: “The Slasher” Cuts In on September 15

Appalachian Adventurers are in for a Fall full of FRIGHT, as the legendary name of the Pint-Sized Slasher is taken up by a murderous lunatic and his cadre of Slasher fanatics.

“The Slasher” is a frightening experience that unravels over the weeks spanning our Fall updates.  Players will need to hunt for clues, dig up unmarked graves, and fight off fanatics INFESTING the map.  Finally, a confrontation with the “Pint-Sized” imposter himself, where players have a chance to earn a unique Power Armor set as well as a new instrument of murder, the “Super Slasher.”

These activities are layered over the top of one another- as an additional layer is unlocked, the intensity builds and builds!

“The Slasher” is a first of its kind update for Fallout 76.

Along with this content, our Gen 9 boost that benefits players on XBOX Series S/X, PS5, and older consoles will arrive. All console players will enjoy better performance, stability, and visual fidelity. This upgrade also affords our team the opportunity to optimize each platform individually down the road.

Unique weapon crafting also makes its way to workbenches, allowing players to fully unlock their potential with the ability to change Legendary mods on any of the 80+ uniquely named weapons found across the Wasteland.

Seasons are getting an upgrade as well! From “Beware of the Blood Moon” and onwards, players will now get to participate in both a current season and a storied season from the past that they may have missed with Legacy Seasons. Check out our Legacy Seasons article for a more in-depth look at what that new feature entails.

We hope you’re ready for everything these Pint-Sized Fanatics have in store for Appalachia.
