Reclamation Day is 23 October 2102, twenty-five years after the bombs fell on 23 October 2077. Fallout 76 is the earliest game on the timeline, set in Appalachia before the wastelands of the later entries. You leave as a Vault 76 resident tasked with rebuilding, and the Overseer's trail is the spine of the original main quest. Human settlers were absent at launch and returned with Wastelanders on 14 April 2020.
No. This is an independent fan desk. Guides, patch notes, and rumor checks are written for players. We do not sell Fallout 76, Atoms, Fallout 1st, or in-game items, and we will never ask for your Bethesda account password. Buy and play the game only through official storefronts.
Open the patch tracker, enter the note reference from our desk mail, and you will see whether a write-up is drafted, checked against the public release notes, or published. Your reading history keeps earlier seasons you saved, from Steel Reign and Nuka-World on Tour through Skyline Valley, Burning Springs, and the 2026 updates.
Never. Reader passes on the passes page are desk bookmarks for guide collections, not Bethesda currency. If a message promises free Atoms, legacy weapons, or a "mod menu" for your account, it is not from us. Report it and keep playing through the official client.
