Fallout fans thrilled as Bethesda drops 'largest expansion' to date, available now

Bethesda is, once again, providing Fallout fans with everything they could have possibly asked for (except Fallout 5).

As revealed on the official Bethesda website, Fallout 76 is getting its “largest expansion to the endgame experience yet” in the freshly released “Gleaming Depths” update.

The new update is “so large" that Bethesda actually notes in the press release that they’ve had to move the least important "additional information” into a separate article, which is already a great sign.

The most important stuff they’ve added are new pets (this is a 10/10 update already), weapons and armour, bosses, perk cards, player titles, and most importantly (other than the cute dogs and cats) a brand new endgame area for players to explore.

The Gleaming Depths update also marks the start of Fallout 76’s 19th season, which is adding some new content that focuses on a classic Fallout faction to the game; the Enclave.

Next year, Fallout 76 players will be able to take on the role of a ghoul.

Season 19 includes content that’s themed “around the paramilitary organisation the Enclave, once known as a deep-state faction of the United States government, comprised mostly of our favourite artificially intelligent supercomputer, M.O.D.U.S.”

“The Enclave’s mission? The revitalisation of America through the power of science!”

Alright but, let’s focus on the best part of the update: C.A.M.P pets.

The new update will introduce cats and dogs as new Dwellers that you can spawn through the workshop. And before you ask, as stated by Bethesda themselves, “Yes, you can pet them.”

Don’t worry if you’re not a dog or a cat person though (you monster) as Bethesda specified that they’re only “starting with” these two pets, which hopefully implies that a deathclaw companion will be available in the next update.

Hope you’ve got enough space on your hard drive though, as the new update is 38.9 GB on Xbox and 37.6 GB PlayStation. Those high-def pet models don’t come cheap.

See you back here in 24 hours when we figure out all of the stuff that Bethesda broke with the new update.
