Fallout 76: The Slasher Update Out Today

We can look forward to The Slasher Update Today. What can we expect?

The Slasher is a horror-themed fall update for Fallout 76 centered around a gruesome murder mystery in Appalachia. Creative Director Jon Rush outlined that the storyline focuses on the legend of the infamous pre-War serial killer, the Pint-Sized Slasher, after a string of identical murders shakes the wasteland.

Unlike standard single-drop events, The Slasher unfolds over several weeks:

  • Weekly Emergency Broadcasts: Players tune into in-game radio transmissions for breaking news, plot developments, and target locations.
  • Investigative Gameplay: Activities include tracking down clues, digging up unmarked graves, clearing out cultist infestations, and tackling new Daily Ops challenges.

Players who piece together the clues and survive the final showdown at the end of the multi-week campaign unlock exclusive seasonal gear:

  • A brand-new Power Armor set
  • A heavy-hitting Auto Axe weapon skin

The update launches alongside Season 26: Beware the Blood Moon. The new season brings horror-themed C.A.M.P. items, weapon cosmetics, and new S.C.O.R.E. progression tracks.
