how does the multiplayer work?

Is it like gta5 or Rust? i read there is some kind of pacifist mode, but the article said you can still be attacked and killed.

I played almost every fallout game, and i was wondering if i should try this, i just want the usual single experience with quests, no pvp

76 has one of the most chill communities.
When you first start out you cannot be killed by PVP up to level 11 or so. Then you can enter pacifist mode by going into your settings which most people do.
If you claim a workshop you can be killed when at it by another player, but this rarely happens. Most players don't PVP.


If you played every Fallout game, this is a must play for the lore. The stories aren't as engaging- mediocre at best and quests seem like a chore instead of meaningful.
You can play the game without interacting with other players, but you will when you enter an event. Events are the fastest way to level up, so you will see others around and if you are about to die, they will stimpack you

Definitely get it, I was loving Fallout 4, then I saw a bunch of reviews and things about how much 76 has been fixed since its horrible launch so I decided $10 on sale was worth it even if it turned out to be a waste. Now I absolutely love the game, am trying to do 100% of everything available in the game.

How old were the stories you read about being attacked? Since the game dropped the possibilities of PvP interactions have been reduced to almost nil.

I would say that 99.999% of the players you meet will have zero interest in killing you.

People will either ignore you or offer to help.

What Bizarre Man said.
I have nothing to add beyond that, lol.

Ppl are garbage, use them and then throw them like toilet paper, also a bit of correction, usually players wont kill you, but if they know you are carrying flux then they see you as a walking pinata.

So now I am a Fat Mole Pinata...I see your Flux and Raise you 50 Glowing Mass.

Beside "Workshop" area, there's no PVP once you have learned the game mechanics.

Just server hop if you don't like a situation with other players, that's it.
