The Invaders from Beyond seasonal event is live through October 18

At this point,Fallout 76has a formidable host of seasonal events, quality of life updates, and major patches. We just got The Pitt when it comes to the latter approach, and now another seasonal event is coming back in the rotation: Invaders from Beyond.

The gist is that literal aliens have come to West Virginia for research purposes, and it’s your job to take various quests/partake in public events to take them down, in a wave-based format. It’s a fun arcadey little diversion that goes along with the cheeky alien references in various prior Fallout games.

Invaders from Beyond

Bethesda has hosted this event before,including earlier this year (twice),which features “all-new Public Events and even random encounters (of a third kind) as you fend off the alien threat with your teammates.”
