It has left players seeking out some of the game’s various offerings, such as the Atlantic City expansion.

Fallout 76 is an online multiplayer game set before the events of other titles such as Fallout 3 and 4. It was released in 2018 to mixed reviews, with many critics and players highlighting its poor technical issues.

But a recent upturn in attention on the game has resulted in more than 43,000 concurrent people playing it, which is the highest it has been in four years, according to SteamDB.

So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at Fallout 76’s most recent expedition, Atlantic City.
