Fallout 76: Inside the Vault - Introducing Legacy Seasons
We’re excited to introduce Legacy Seasons and yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.
Starting with “The Slasher” update this Fall, we will be bringing back one past season to sit alongside the current season so that everyone has a chance to earn rewards that they might have missed out on. Currently, a Legacy Season is planned to last for the span of one full season.
Legacy Seasons utilize the same ticket pool as normal seasons. This means where you spend your tickets is completely up to you. See something you like in the current season? Focus claiming rewards there. Did you miss out on an item you really wanted from a previous season? You can spend your tickets there as well.
The main difference between the two is that rewards in the Legacy Season must be claimed linearly. Current seasons will maintain their unlock flow.
For our veteran wastelanders, any reward that you claimed when the season originally ran (or any seasonal items you might have purchased through the Atomic Shop) will already be marked as claimed. Allowing you to immediately move onto the next reward. We have included a few new rewards in this Legacy Season, so make sure to take a quick browse to see what’s waiting for you.
We’ve put together the FAQ below to help answer some specific questions you might have.
FAQ
Will there be a new type of Season ticket for Legacy Seasons?
No new currency is being introduced for Legacy Seasons.
Can I progress in the current season and the Legacy Season at the same time?
Yes! You can use your tickets for rewards in the current season and/or the Legacy Season.
How long do Legacy Seasons run for?
Legacy Seasons are currently planned to run for the full length of the season.
Will the original game board be claimable as a reward for the Legacy Seasons?
We view the unique seasonal game boards as a special commemorable item. And because they’re great indicators of who was there when the season originally ran, we are choosing not to include them as a reward for returning legacy seasons.
Will there be changes to Daily and Weekly Challenges?
There are no changes currently planned for Daily and Weekly challenges alongside this first run of Legacy Seasons.
Will Legacy Seasons continue to rotate in the future? Will this be the last chance to claim rewards for Armor Ace and the Power Patrol in Cold Steel?
Our current plan is to rotate through Legacy Seasons. So, while this won’t be your last time to claim rewards from this season, it may be a while before it reappears.
Can you let us vote on what the next Legacy Season will be?
Yes, we can! Head over to the Bethesda Game Studios Discord or the Fallout 76 Subreddit to cast your vote between August 18, 2026, at 1 PM ET until August 21, 2026, at 1 PM ET!
Results from both spaces will be combined over the weekend, and we’ll announce the winning Legacy Season on August 25! The winning Legacy Season will begin alongside the release of our Winter update later this year.
What happens if I have already claimed all the rewards in the Legacy Season when it initially ran? Is there a bonus page?
There won’t be a bonus page for this first run of Legacy Seasons, but there is potential for us to add them in the future. Let us know what type of items you would like to see on a bonus page for Legacy Seasons.
Don’t forget, if you’ve claimed all the rewards from the initial run of a Legacy Season you should still check the page rewards. You might find a new reward or two added.
Will Legacy Season’s have their old gameboard art style and music?
Our goal is to maintain as much of the original experience as possible with the addition of a few new rewards. The music and art of the returning seasons will return, but the gameboard claiming experience will not.
