Bethesda has just rolled out their latest Fallout 76 update, and it’s a big one. The headline feature is Steel Reign, the final chapter in the Brotherhood of Steel storyline that kicked off last year. Along with the new story content, Fallout 76 is also adding a new K.D. Inkwell scoreboard to work through, the ability to craft Legendary weapons, armor, and power armor, and more. You can check out a trailer for the Fallout 76: Steel Reign update, below.

　　Here’s a rundown of all the major content included in the Steel Reign update:

　　Steel Reign Questline

　　This update brings all-new quests to Fallout 76 with the Steel Reign questline, which picks up right where you left off with the Brotherhood of Steel at the end of Steel Dawn.

　　Steel Reign’s questline is available to any player over level 20 who has completed “The Best Defense”.Players who have completed that quest will then see the quest “A Knights Penance”, which will lead them to speak with Russell Dorsey in Fort Atlas.Completion of the Steel Reign questline will award the player with brand new items.

　　Legendary Crafting

　　With this update, we’re implementing the Legendary Crafting system, which you can use to turn normal items into legendary items, re-roll your existing legendary items’ attributes, and even upgrade or downgrade their star-ratings.

　　Using a new crafting component, called Legendary Cores, along with a few Legendary Modules, you can now craft “Legendary Upgrades” for your items.Visit Weapon and Armor Workbenches, and then open the Modify menu to get started with Legendary Crafting.You can earn Legendary Cores as rewards by completing Seasonal Events, Public Events, and Daily Ops.As always, Legendary Modules are available from Purveyor Murmrgh in exchange for some Legendary Scrips.You can craft 1-, 2-, and 3-star Legendary Upgrades for your gear, and the materials required to craft them increase based on the Legendary Upgrade tier you choose.Applying a Legendary Upgrade to a normal item will turn it into a legendary version of that item, with 1, 2, or 3 randomly assigned legendary attributes, depending on the tier of Legendary Upgrade you applied.Applying a Legendary Upgrade to an existing Legendary Item can increase or decrease the number of legendary attributes that item has, again depending on the tier of Legendary Upgrade you apply. Here are examples of each option:Upgrade: Modding a 1-star item with a 3-star Legendary Upgrade will turn it into a 3-star version of that item with 3 random attributes.Downgrade: Modding a 3-star item with a 2-star Legendary Upgrade will result in a 2-star version of that item with 2 random attributes.Re-roll: Modding a 3-star item with a 3-star Legendary Upgrade replace all 3 of the existing item’s attributes and apply 3 news ones at random.Legendary Power Armor

　　In addition to weapons and normal armor, Legendary Crafting can also be used to create pieces of Legendary Power Armor.

　　Like weapons and armor, Legendary Power Armor pieces can also be upgraded, downgraded, and re-rolled.Visit any Power Armor Station and modify your favorite set of Power Armor to apply some Legendary Upgrades.The vast majority of Legendary attributes that are available to normal armor can also be applied to Power Armor, with the following exceptions:1-StarAuto-Revive: Chance to revive using a Stimpak3-StarAcrobat’s: Reduced fall damageImproved Sneaking: Harder to detect while sneakingDiver’s: Grants underwater breathingUnyielding: +3 to all stats (except END) when low healthWeightless: 90% less carry weight, does not affect that Chameleon mutationLimb Damage: Reduced Limb DamageSeason 5: K.D.
