Many games have launched new seasons or events this September, some even preparing for Halloween at the end of October, and Fallout 76 is joining the lineup.

It has been confirmed that on September 15, the game will launch Season 26, Beware the Blood Moon, alongside Patch 70 The Slasher and a host of related new events and gameplay features.

Since this update dictates what content will be available in Fallout 76 for at least the next three months, and how you might plan your playtime around it, we've put together a reliable overview for you.

Fallout 76 Season 26 Beware the Blood Moon and Patch 70 The Slasher Bring Legacy Seasons Feature, Weapon Overhaul, and More New Content!

Season 26 schedule breakdown

While an end date hasn't been announced yet, based on Fallout 76's typical seasonal update cycle, Season 26 is expected to conclude in mid-to-late December.

Starting on September 15, The Slasher update will go live. That same weekend, Caps of Plenty event is expected to take place, allowing you to quickly amass more Fallout 76 Bottle Caps right at the start of the new season.

Additionally, September will see the rollout of seasonal fishing events, Hunt for the Treasure Hunter, and Double Mutations, wrapping up the month with Mutated Public Events.

October will be the highlight of Season 26, driven by Halloween festivities at the end of the month. You can look forward to a Double S.C.O.R.E. weekend, The Slasher C.A.M.P. contest, Mischief Night, Double Mutations, Spooky Scorched, and a Legendary sale.

In November, alongside the return of Double S.C.O.R.E. / Mutations and Caps of Plenty, Fallout 76 will host its anniversary celebration and Gold Rush.

As for December, the specific events are harder to predict since the season's end date is uncertain. To ensure you don't miss anything, it's best to log in daily and check the in-game schedule.

The return of Pint-Sized Slasher?

As the title of Patch 70, The Slasher, suggests, it appears a group of dangerous criminals is making a comeback in Fallout 76. According to the game's lore, a group of diminutive serial killers terrorized the Appalachia region in the pre-war era.

Now, whether these individuals have returned or copycats have emerged, bodies bearing the signature marks of these killers are appearing across the region.

To help you and other players track down and investigate this mystery, Fallout 76 will launch the new The Debunker Radio station at the start of Season 26 to guide your efforts.

Additionally, starting September 15, the game will roll out the four-part Pint-Sized Slasher questline and associated events on a weekly basis.

Eliminate Pint-Sized Phantom for rewards

Beyond the main event questline, you may randomly encounter Pint-Sized Phantom enemies while exploring Appalachia or completing daily missions during Season 26. Defeating them offers a 10% chance to drop loot similar to Halloween treat bags.

The loot pool includes legendary gear of various tiers, the all-new Ghost Boy item (which grants invisibility for 200 seconds upon use), various rare chems, and more.

Since these items drop at different rates, you will need to invest time and optimize your farming efficiency to secure the items you desire.

Introducing Legacy Seasons

In addition to new content, Season 26 Beware the Blood Moon introduces Legacy Seasons mechanic to Fallout 76. This allows past seasons to run concurrently with the current season, giving you the opportunity to earn rewards from previous seasons.

Past and current seasons share a unified Season Ticket pool; you can choose whether to consume the tickets earned through gameplay on rewards from the current season or items from past seasons.

However, unlike the flexible unlocking process of the current season, Legacy Seasons require rewards to be claimed in a strict, linear order.

If you had already unlocked specific rewards during a previous season's initial run, those items will be automatically marked as claimed, allowing you to proceed directly to the next available item.

New season rewards and items

To celebrate Halloween and align with the season's theme, Fallout 76 Season 26 introduces a new Blood Moon option for Weather Station, allowing you to bathe your C.A.M.P. in the eerie red glow of a blood moon.

In addition, your C.A.M.P. can now feature new themed prefabs and kits, such as Vault of Terror house kit, Cultist Mansion prefab, and Blood Spore Plant Bed. You'll even find killer-themed posters, tombstones, and spray-paint workbenches.

By completing new challenges during Season 26, you can also earn Bloody Nurse Hat, Batty Skirt, and Bloody Nurse Outfit as apparel rewards.

Other available rewards include:

  • Cryolator Mod Rewards
  • Paint Rewards
  • Title Prefixes & Suffixes
  • Player Icon Rewards
  • Emote Rewards

More improvements in Patch 70

Beyond the new season and its associated content, Patch 70 brings significant adjustments to Fallout 76's underlying mechanics and weapon systems.

First, over 80 classic unique weapons with fixed legendary effects have undergone a comprehensive overhaul, with their inherent effects adjusted.

More specifically, starting in Season 26, you can freely modify most unique weapons with Legendary Mods, vastly improving the utility and build variety of these older unique items.

Additionally, adjustments have been made to Infestations: the traditional green circle marker has been replaced with a dark cloud visual effect, and bosses defeated within these zones will drop exclusive items and titles.

That covers the key details regarding Fallout 76 Season 26 and Patch 70, launching next Tuesday. Get ready to face an Appalachia shrouded in the blood-red moon!
