Fallout 76

• Bethesda reveals a new PvP mode that will come to Fallout 76 known as Survival mode. While many of the PvP features will stay the same, there will be a few differences in terms of restrictions.
• Survival Mode will be coming to the Fallout 76 beta sometime during March 2019, which will feature the same quests, events and story however, the current PvP rules will be more laid back. It introduces a new rule that marks all teammates or event groupmates  automatically as hostile to each other by default. While in current standard play you need to invite players to PvP, Survival mode will not require invitations.
• This means players in this mode can attack each other and do normal damage from the first shot. There is also level scaling, meaning new characters have a chance to survive against higher level ones to help even the playing field.
• The developer is also is planning to add a death mechanic which means in Survival mode players will be unable to choose to seek revenge respawn option that is currently in standard play. The options for the new mode will allow for players to respawn at either your camp or Vault 76.
• Reward changes have also been planned by Bethesda, double caps will be awarded for a kill, those who die may also have a chance to drop their aid or other items as well as junk.
• Nothing is confirmed yet as Bethesda assure fans on the Fallout 76 subreddit which has seen a lot of suggestions from the player base, that they will continue to improve Survival according to feedback.
