Trader Red is taking her tour to Point Pleasant, to get a peek at the Mothman Cult...but something strange is brewing on the other side of the Ohio River.

In this special episode, our community gets a special preview of one of the largest expansions of Fallout 76 ever.

Come with us as Trader Red embarks into uncharted territory and learn more about what we'll find in "the Burning Springs."

Something strange is happening in Appalachia...and that's saying something. Brahmin have gone missing from Foundation and folks have been seeing strange lights in the sky.

Trader Red is on the case...and she aims to find out what's causing all the commotion, and if she can, put a stop to it.

Join Trader Red as she finds herself face to face with "Invaders from Beyond!" a Fallout 76 Community Event.

Well, look what the Molerat dragged in. Folks in these parts call me Trader Red, and I heard tell that ya’ll are newcomers to old Appalachia. Mind you, these hills aren’t quite what they used to be…full of Super Mutants, Ghouls…things we call Scorched, and a cryptid or two might cross your path.

But you’re darn lucky to have little old me as your tour guide. See, I ain’t from around these parts…I’m a backwoods Tennessee gal, through and through, but let’s just say that Appalachia is my home away from home.

Figure you guessed the whole Trader part, right? I’m the best at finding the things folks need…guns, ‘shine, and the odd doo-dad and thingamajig that might tickle your fancy.

And finding those things means I go all over…from Morgantown to Lewisburg, and Berkeley Springs to Watoga, no one knows these hills like Trader Red.

So, if you wanna see the sights, learn some history, and not get eaten at the same time, follow old Trader Red here as we wander through the Wasteland of post-war Appalachia, and maybe, just maybe, uncover some juicy tidbits and secrets along the way.

There is an old saying in the Wasteland…War, war never changes.

Humanity’s progress was defined by our conflicts…over land…over ideas…and finally over the resources needed to fuel that very progress.

On October 23rd, 2077, the Great War reached its climax and nuclear fire rolled across the planet.It only took a single day to wipe human civilization from the earth, nearly humanity itself.

Our weapons had become terrifyingly powerful…but war, war never changes.

In the years since, the survivors were caught in a constant struggle against the horrors of mutation and radiation…beset by the rising tide of barbarism…and authoritarian remnants, utilizing technology from the old world to attempt to conquer the new.

A new tune and new dance partners, but war, war never changes.

In the Capital Wasteland, one such conflict pitted the Enclave from Raven Rock against the forces of Elder Lyon’s Brotherhood of Steel to secure the technology of Project Purity and the promise of clean drinking water…and all the power and influence that comes with it.

Ending in the destruction of the Enclave at Adams Air Force Base, it appeared that yet another bloody chapter of human conflict had come to a close…again, without our species learning any meaningful lessons.

Or had it?

Fleeing the destruction, a single damaged Vertibird struggled to maintain altitude as it crossed over the broken landscape…and unknowingly headed to a date with destiny, nearly two hundred years in the making.

On October 23rd, 2102, the residents of Vault 76 stepped out into the new world of post-war Appalachia.

The twenty-five years spent in the safety and security of the Vault could not prepare them for what was to come.

Those same residents became the heroes and villains of a much larger story…one that has finally led us all here, to the final tale of our Appalachia.

As one story ends, it is but the beginning of many others. Putting the blasted and blighted wastes behind them, our characters walk forward into a brand new future.

From the moment the residents of Vault 76 stepped outside into the Wasteland of Appalachia their story has been leading to this moment.

One final, desperate battle is being fought to determine the fate of not only Appalachia, but the future of humanity itself...

Join us as our story reaches its thrilling climax!

"What was that, Spike? Visitors? Oh Wow, I wonder if any of them want to go hug a Deathclaw!"

But seriously, welcome to Top of the World all you wanna-be Raiders & Goons! I’m Rose, the local RaiderBot extraordinaire! It seems like your normal host, that Stuffed Shirt calling himself the Operative appears to have departed this mortal coil or some such nonsense.

From here, y'all have a fantastic view of all the chaos that Appalachia has to offer. While the Whitespring might be a smoking crater, I hear tell that the old missile silos are ready to pop and that tough old Colonel is making one last throw of the dice to do something about it.

Doesn’t matter to me…I’m a bot and all, but hey, if you want to root for her, go right ahead!Vault Town is getting stomped and everyone is running for the Ohio…and old Trader Red and her pet Deathclaw are gonna try to convince the Cult of the Mothman to let them go.

Good luck with that!

Anyway, Appalachia is coming apart at the seams and I am so here for it! So, sit back, join me for a dose or two of Psycho, and we’ll watch the fireworks together!

Plans within plans…moves and countermoves. The PACT unleashes their Oni on Vault Town while finishing their work in the Silos. MODUS has a front row seat to the new apocalypse as he watches from the lens of the Kovac Muldoon.

With one last throw of the dice, Valeria puts her desperate plan into motion to save the future…Stein finds his life coming full circle, allied with SODUS to ensure a final confrontation with MODUS…and the chance at true redemption for the sins of the past.

As the defenders of Vault Town prepare to lay down their lives to give the refugees of Appalachia time to escape, the column of civilians finds itself in even greater danger, caught between the Cultists at Point Pleasant and the Oni now advancing behind them.

It’s up to Trader Red to convince the crazed cultists to let the civilians pass…and if she fails, Point Pleasant will once again become the graveyard of what remains of Appalachia.

And at Silo Bravo, Valeria and her team face nearly insurmountable odds…

In these final hours, “they who sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind.”
