The Nuclear Winter battle royale mode of Fallout 76 is in the process of being shut down due to low player interest. Bethesda will be offering new ways to earn its exclusive rewards.
Two years ago, Bethesda introduced a battle royale mode to Fallout 76, transforming the multiplayer survival game into a 52-player shooter as another way to experience PVP action. The developer has now announced that later this year the mode is being axed from the title, with low player counts and needing more resources for the main game mode being given as reasons behind the decision. “When we first introduced Nuclear Winter, we were thrilled to watch so many players from our community, as well as many newcomers, dive head first into our take on the ruthless last-player-standing Battle Royale genre,” says Bethesda in its blog.
