The Meat Week has returned in Fallout 76, but players can already look ahead to the next part of cleaning up Appalachia starting on October 1st. Thankfully for meta-humorists, it will not involve cleaning out power armor helmets; instead, your objective will be to take out as many of the Scorched as possible as part of the community. The target goal is 8 million Scorched taken out, which is… disturbing if you think too hard about what that means in terms of the sheer scale, even spread out among multiple players.
For reference, the population of the entirety of New York City is about 8 million people.
Still, the development team isn’t just thinking about wholesale destruction as part of a clean-up project and is already looking ahead to 2020 for numerous quality-of-life improvements. These include multi-factor authentication for your account, perk loadouts, and a public test server for future updates. Combine that with fixes to the social menu and public event improvements and next year should be an even more pleasant time in the ruins of Appalachia.
