Fallout 76 will offer players private servers and a host of other goodies through Fallout 1st, a new membership model.
Fallout 1st subscribers will be able to set up and host private worlds for up to eight players. Only the host of the private world needs to be a member, and the world will remain active even if the host leaves so long as at least one player on the server is also a member. All gameplay will remain the same between the private and public worlds. Players who join a private world must use preexisting characters.
Bethesda says that it is “excited” to add mod support to private worlds in Fallout 76 at some point in the future.
Fallout 1st membership also comes with an assortment of other bonuses. Members will receive 1,650 Atoms per month to spend at the Atomic Shop on costumes, icons, or whatever else. Subscribers will get an unspecified discount on certain items at the shop as well.
Members will be gifted a Scrapbox and a Survival Tent for use in either public or private servers. The Scrapbox provides unlimited storage for crafting materials, freeing up space in the Stash Box. The Survival Tent will serve as a portable headquarters for players and will feature a Stash, Sleeping Bag, Scrapbox, Cooking Station, and a musical instrument for passing the time. Survival Tents will serve as fast travel points for players.
Finally, Fallout 1st membership will also come with a Ranger Armor Outfit and a handful of unique icons and emotes.
Fallout 1st membership costs $12.99 a month or $99.99 annually.
