The first of the two-part Atlantic City updates and Season 15 are essentially one and the same, both arriving in Fallout 76 on December 5, 2023, at the game’s weekly reset. With new expeditions, another Season and Scoreboard, and more, there’s a lot to get excited about for upcoming Fallout 76 content based on what’s been revealed ahead of its release.

Players have already gotten a strong taste of what’s to come from the recent Developer Diary interviews with some of the game’s developers, as well as a brief hands-on experience play testing some of the new content in Fallout 76’s Public Test Server. Not everything from the new update has been revealed ahead of time though, so there are still plenty of surprises in store. At the same time, recent datamines and leaks from a trusted source have uncovered even more of what players can expect to see in the upcoming content update and new Season for Fallout 76.

Fallout 76 Atlantic City Update and Season 15 Content Speculation

There have been many controversies in Fallout 76 surrounding paid CAMP furnishings that generate resources, and one item from the Season 15 leaks will seemingly continue this trend. Gathering resources is a core part of Fallout 76’s survival elements and overall gameplay experience, so automating this process has always been a slippery slope subject, especially when it’s a matter of spending real money to obtain these resource generators. It’s hard to say exactly what resource this new CAMP item will generate ahead of its release, but it does appear to be this kind of item based on its appearance.

From what players have already seen from the latest PTS for Fallout 76 and the Developer Diary interviews, there will be new endgame armor sets in the Fallout 76 Atlantic City update. Like in past Seasons though, Season 15 will also introduce new armor and Power Armor paints for some of the existing armor sets in Fallout 76, including at least one paint for each of the different Power Armor variants.

On top of the new skins for armor and Power Armor in Fallout 76, there will be various additional cosmetic items. Specifically, there will be new outfits, headwear, backpacks, and backpack flairs inspired by Atlantic City’s luxurious casino life. One particular outfit that stands out from the rest though is a custom of a mysterious scaled creature, with speculation being that the costume is based on a dragon.

It’s hard to tell if the trident melee weapon revealed in the leaks for the upcoming content will be a new weapon or if it will be a paint that can be applied to existing melee weapons in Fallout 76. At the same time, several other weapons will be getting new paint jobs:

• 10mm Pistol
• Auto Grenade Launcher
• Chainsaw
• Combat Rifle
• Combat Shotgun
• Gatling Laser (Ultracite and Standard variant)
• Gatling Plasma
• Gauss Minigun
• Plasma Rifle

A new Mystery Bobblehead package will likely be a common reward throughout the new Scoreboards in Fallout 76 going forward, as well as an item that players can indefinitely purchase from the Atom Shop, similar to the existing Lunchbox and Scout’s Banner consumable buffs. Bobbleheads provide players with a unique temporary buff, and among other new changes from the Atlantic City update, this could be a game-changer for new players getting into Fallout 76 for the first time.

Players already had a chance to test devices that can change the weather in Fallout 76’s CAMPS during the recent PTS, so it’s no surprise that they are coming as soon as Season 15. During the PTS, these devices were capable of producing snow, dark clouds, and clear weather although more effects are bound to come in the near future, possibly as early as the first Atlantic City update/Season 15.

Fallout 76 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
