How to Save in Fallout 76?
To save the game,fast-travel to another location, complete missions, or quit the game to the main menu. These actions trigger an auto-save inFallout 76which preserves the progress by uploading it to the server. Note thatFallout 76is anMMORPG requiring an internet connectionto save data.
Fast Travel to Another Location
Open the menu, hover over a location or interest point, and select Fast Travel. This will force the game to save.
Since fast travel inFallout 76needs CAPS, consider traveling to the following free locations:
Do a Daily Mission or Complete Side Quests
In the menu, press right on the D-pad to see thedaily and weekly missions. Get any of these done to save the game or finish one of the main objectives for the same effect.
Quit the Game to the Main Menu
Open Map and select Quit in the menu. Wait for the game to load the title screen and save the date. Do not use this method if the internet connection is unstable.
Restarting the game after an auto-save doesn’t guarantee it to spawn in the same area. Players might be forced to continue their progress in a nearby location. But this doesn’t affect their stats, collectibles, and other saved details.
