Fallout 76 Season 17 Scoreboard Adjustments Stir Community Backlash
New, NormalPublic

Description

Bethesda has quietly rolled out further adjustments to the Fallout 76 Scoreboard system, including a tweak that renders some rewards on its final page non-repeatable. Although these alterations were implemented without fanfare, they were swiftly noticed by the Fallout 76 community and have already sparked significant criticism from players.

The live-service RPG overhauled its previous Scoreboard system with the introduction of Season 16, Duel with the Devil, which spanned from late March to June 12. This update replaced the linear Scoreboard with a multi-page system akin to a battle pass, allowing players to selectively claim rewards of their choice. Season 16's Scoreboard proved contentious within Fallout 76 due to its perceived grindiness, which made acquiring all seasonal rewards a daunting task for players.

Season 17 of Fallout 76 continues to adhere to this design philosophy but introduces subtle adjustments that Bethesda appears to have implemented quietly. One notable change concerns the rewards on its final page, which, at first glance, resemble those of Season 16, focusing largely on utility rewards like Perk Coins and Lunchboxes. However, it has been discovered that not all of these rewards can be claimed multiple times, contrary to the previous season. As observed by Reddit user tauhrashul, bundles containing Perk Coins, Legendary Modules, and Legendary Cores are now restricted to a single claim.

While this adjustment could be construed as Bethesda's effort to balance the seasonal reward structure in Fallout 76, many players who have weighed in on the discovery criticize the lack of transparency. Instead of clearly communicating which final page rewards are repeatable and which are not, the game presents them similarly to Season 16. Players are only able to discern this information organically upon reaching Rank 150.

Additionally, another change observed in the Season 17 Scoreboard is the ability to purchase up to 150 Fallout 76 S.C.O.R.E. ranks, up from the previous cap of 100 ranks. This adjustment now allows players to bypass the entirety of Season 17's grind by purchasing ranks.

These adjustments to the Season 17 Scoreboard have stirred backlash within the Fallout 76 community, highlighting ongoing concerns about transparency and fairness in the game's reward structure.
