Important information about trophies in Fallout 76

1. While playing on a PC, you can only earn achievements if you have purchased the game version available in Steam Store. Unfortunately, the game edition sold on Bethesda.net doesn't have any trophies system.
2. Achievements can be easily earned on both consoles - PS4 and XONE. They are identical regardless of the hardware platform (except for the platinum trophy).
3. Fallout 76 has 51 trophies - 1 platinum trophy (only available on PlayStation 4), 1 gold, 15 silver and 34 bronze. Unfortunately, the authors didn't decide to add any new achievements after releasing some major updates to Fallout 76 (released after the game's premiere).
4. A permanent Internet connection is required in order to earn trophies and achievements. This is simply due to the design of the game, which is an 'always online' title. Even if you plan to travel the wilderness alone, you still need to be connected to the game servers permanently. The loss of Internet connection will prevent you from further gameplay.
5. Console versions require a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription. Fortunately, this requirement does not apply to the personal computer version.
6. The platinum trophy in Fallout 76 is not extremely difficult, but it can be very time consuming. It can take you a lot of time to get promoted to the 100 level of experience or to hack dozens of terminals.
7. Some achievements concern interaction with other players. You can get them for killing or resurrecting players you encounter. Fortunately, most trophies can also be unlocked during a single player gameplay.
8. It's impossible to miss a trophy. The good news is that you can get all achievements during the same gameplay. You don't have to start playing again at any time to earn missed or overlooked trophies.

Comment: As a reminder, events in Fallout 76 are random quests and are available for all players currently playing on a particular server. Getting near to an event is equivalent to confirming your desire to participate in it. Missed or interrupted events can be reactivated.

This particular event required you to visit Watoga High School's location in the Cranberry Bog region. It is theoretically a PvP event, although you can also join it alone.

All that matters is not to interrupt the event prematurely.

Second Skin

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Craft 5 pieces of armor.

Comment: This is one of the achievements related to item crafting. We have described this matter in more detail in our survival guide. In order to create a piece of armor, you have to use the crafting table. You can build a crafting station in your own base or find it in the game world. You also have complete freedom in what you want to produce - it's best to choose the simplest pieces of armor that don't require rare plans or rare materials.

A Fighting Chance

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Craft a weapon.

Comment: This is one of the achievements related to item crafting. We have described this matter in more detail in our survival guide.

LITerally

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Read 20 magazines.

Comment: You can treat magazines as collectibles in Fallout 76. There are many more of them than 20 in the game world.

Before you get that perk, just carefully search all newly visited locations.

Ground Zero

Trophy type: Silver

How to unlock: Get in the middle of nuclear explosion.

Comment: Nuclear explosion can occur by activating the side quest Death From Above!. It's worth noting that you don't have to activate it by yourself. The game may also inform you that another player is currently performing this quest.

This mission is about launching a "nuke" and a red circle will appear on the world map symbolizing the place of explosion. You have to get there before the explosion happens - you have 3 minutes to get to the explosion area (after you have received the message). Your character will die due to the explosion. However, you will earn a trophy as a reward.

Perked Up

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Fully rank up one perk.

Comment: Another page of our guide - How perks work and how to earn them? includes all key information about this topic. You can develop Perks by combining them with each other (you must have identical cards!). In order to make it easier to earn this trophy, it is worth choosing a perk that can be more easily developed up to 100% efficiency. In other words, select a perk that can be ranked up just in a few steps (2, 3 or 4 stars).

Code Cruncher

Trophy type: Silver

How to unlock: Hack 50 terminals.

Comment: Hacking terminals consists in finding proper words in strings of signs. Some terminals have higher security levels and require specific perks. We discussed this topic in more detail on a separate page of our guide - Hacking. It will take you a lot of time to get the trophy.

Monet of Murder

Trophy type: Silver

How to unlock: Modify 50 weapons.

Comment: It's a similar trophy to A Fighting Chance trophy. In this case, you have to modify existing weapons - not create or craft entirely new weapons. As a reminder, you need to use the gunsmith's workshop - you can build a suitable station at your base or find it in the game world. This topic has been discussed in more detail on another page of our guide - Crafting. You can choose any weapon modification, preferably one that does not require rare plans or rare materials.

Tested Mettle

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Complete 5 challenges.

Comment: Challenges in Fallout 76 can be compared to achievements to a certain extent - they may concern, for example, advancing the character to higher experience levels, killing specific types of enemies, crafting items, picking locks, collecting caps, discovering new locations or joining other players. The available challenges can be viewed and checked in the pause menu. Choose any five of them.

Note - You can deal with always available challenges and those of a temporary nature, such as daily or weekly challenges. All types of challenges are counted and allow you to earn the trophy faster.

A Real Challenger

Trophy type: Bronze

Field Medic

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Resurrect 20 fallen players.

Comment: This trophy forces you to interact with other players. It is best to play in a group of several people, so you won't have to waste time looking for players who require medical aid. You can resurrect a knocked-down player by approaching him, pressing the interaction button and using the Stimpack (you must have at least one such item in your inventory). Alternatively, if you have an active Quack Surgeon perk, then you can cure a dying player by using any type of alcohol. More information about interactions with other players can be found in the Multiplayer section.

Moneybags

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Collect 10 000 caps.

Comment: As a reminder, the caps act as currency in Fallout 76 and the best way to earn more 'money' in the game has been described in another section of our guide - How to earn caps easily?. Some example ways of getting more caps consist in selling eggs, killing supermutants, and joining quests and events.

Note - You don't need to have 10,000 caps in your inventory at any time. This trophy counts all caps found or received throughout the game. This makes it much easier to unlock.

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Play a Holotape game.

Comment: You can play the first game (Nuka Tapper) in a room of Vault 76, where you start the whole gameplay. If you missed this game, you can create a new character to get to Vault 76.

1. Atomic Command
2. Automatron
3. Grognak and the Ruby Ruins
4. Nuka Tapper

Bounty Hunter

Trophy type: Bronze

How to unlock: Kill a wanted player.

Comment: This trophy forces you to interact with other players. You have to wait for a notification that one of the players, who plays on your server, has received a wanted status.

Comment: This trophy forces you to interact with other players. To attack other players you have to wait until you reach level 5, because only then the PvP mechanics gets unlocked.
