Bethesda has called for cooperation with players diving into Fallout 76s beta, warning therell be spectacular issues the company want help in pinpointing once it releases.
Fallout 76 represents new territory for the franchise being an online survival game, with previous titles offline RPG affairs which dont rely on a constant internet connection.
Ahead of the games beta, the company released a note candidly warning players about how their reputation for buggy games may reach new heights.
In a statement, Bethesda wrote: We all know with the scale of our games, and the systems we let you use, that unforeseen bugs and issues always come up.
Given what were doing with 76, we know were opening everyone up to all new spectacular issues none of us have encountered. Some were aware of, such as areas where performance needs to improve with lots of players.

They added: We cant thank all of you enough for your support over the years, and your support while we try something very new.

Its incredibly exciting to finally jump into the world of Fallout and experience it together with you. This is just the start. We cant wait to see you out there.
While its refreshing to see a major developer be so honest, the fact betas are commonly known to test for bugs does make you wonder whether advanced warning is needed in the first place.
Either way, we should probably prepare for some excellent viral clips in the coming days.
The B.E.T.A. (Break-it Early Test Application) for Fallout 76 kicks off on 23 October for Xbox One, and will arrive later on 30 October for PS4 and PC.
