We've still not heard much about Fallout 76's Expeditions. Often hinted at only never formally proclaimed, the DLC-like have hopes to one solar day take the gritty beyond the Appalachian Wilderness for more or less atomic vacationing. But new screenshots from a purportedly hacked server advise united of these Crataegus oxycantha take us all the way back to Washington, D.C.—the setting for Bethesda's Side effect debut.

The images were shared via an Imgur link connected the Fallout76 subreddit by cyberRakan, and show few to a great extent work-in-progress environments that numerous tactile property strongly resemble Fallout 3's urban landscape—in item, the unmistakeable rock of Dupont Environ.

Most of the assets are visibly placeholder, particularly the large steeple at the backmost of the icon. While widely believed to be a rough blockout of the Washington Monument, galore contend that it could be anything from a church service steeple to New York's Chrysler Construction.

The shots were supposedly taken by a "friend" of Rakan's on a hacked host. Apparently, parts of the FO76 community consume bashed together their personal servers that, while highly unstable, admit access to parts of the plot otherwise untrod on official servers.

"Its horribly buggy and constantly [crashes to screen background], but you can access overeat you can't get to or would be banned for going to in the constituted server," Rakan told me via DM.

At that place's all reason to be distrustful, mind. These hackers Crataegus oxycantha experience stumbled across some old surround tests, or unused prototypes for present Fallout 76 regions. That's if they're even from a hacked server the least bit—with details light on the ground, these shots could've every bit descend from a plotter casual around in Fallout 4's modding tools.

Deplorably, information technology might cost a piece before we find out. Following Covid-related delays, Expeditions South Korean won't arrive until 2022 at the earliest.
