What's Changed in Fallout 76 for Returning Players?

-

Hey everyone, I’ve been away from Fallout 76 for about a year and a half. The last big thing I remember was the introduction of Legendary Cores, but I’ve heard they’re no longer in the game? I know there are a ton of changes and new mechanics since I last played, and I’m looking for guidance on what’s new. Any advice or resources would really help me get back into the swing of things. Thanks!

Welcome back! The Cores are gone; now it’s all about modules. You can build your own legendary items too, and scrapping gives you a small chance to get mods. Just remember that once you mod an item, it becomes locked to your character. Let me know if you have specific questions or want to team up!

You really laid out what I was curious about! Sounds like I’m in for a lot of grinding for those legendary weapons, haha!
