【2008 Archives】

Sure008 Archives you can ramble around Wild Appalachia scrounging in crates for old dusty beers in Fallout 76, but what if you could brew your own?

Bethesda has announced the arrival of a new brewing and distilling feature for the online multiplayer game, which for the first time ever allows you to craft your own booze.

From March 12, as part of Bethesda's new roadmap additions, players will be able to become "the Wasteland’s premiere bartender" with the help of Appalachia’s biggest boozehound of a robot, Biv, who'll teach you to craft illicit Nukashine using the shiny new brewing station.

How do you start? Head to Vault-Tec University, the blog post recommends, where you'll "relive the glory days of VTU’s finest and discover the mischief they got up to outside of the classroom."

That's where you can find boozy Biv, and get started on the 'Wasted on Nukashine' quest. You'll gain access to the brewing station, a new kind of workbench akin to those you can already use to create or improve weapons and armor. Drop one in your C.A.M.P. and whip up different kinds of booze, like beers, spirits, and wines, as well as fancy cocktails.

You'll need to build a fermenter as well, and some beverages will require longer fermentation than others – like your homemade wines and spirits, which will need to change from "fresh" to "vintage" to become legit. The longer you allow them to sit in their own juices, the more intense their effects will be on your tired, tired wasteland-wandering body.

So, what kind of shitty booze can we get started on? You'll learn new recipes completing tasks with Biv, and you're going to have to taste a lot of your own terrible makings.

But once you're all learned up, there's Firecracker Whiskey, which has the potential effect of setting your enemies on fire with melee attacks. Beer-wise, you can brew up a Hoppy Hunter for increased scope stability and damage against wild animals.

Try a thick-sounding Tick Blood Tequila Sunrise...

Cocktails? Try a thick-sounding Tick Blood Tequila Sunrise, a cheeky little roll of the dice that may pair your melee attacks with a tasty disease, but at least your hunger meter will be filled.

Of course, everything you consume in Fallout 76has an effect on your health and wellbeing. When you're crafting illegal, dodgy booze in your own home, expect a "temporary buff" followed by the inevitable hangover.

Bethesda said it plans to roll out more boozy options in future, and encouraged players to consume Nukashine responsibly.

"It may make you feel like taking on the world, but you just never know where those Nuka-fueled adventures may lead," the post reads.
