While it doesn’t strike us as wise to take up fishing in an environment polluted with toxic waste and nuclear residue, that’s not going to stop the residents of Fallout 76 from grabbing their rod-and-reel for some down home country angling.
Fishing officially went live in Fallout 76 this past June 3rd with the Gone Fission update. Judges score that pun a 7/10. Players can fish pretty much anywhere they can swim in the game and snag more than 30 varieties of swimmy things.
There’s also a new area to visit and quests to do: “Gone Fission also includes a new location in the Mire region of Appalachia called Fisherman’s Rest. There, players will encounter a trio of unusual characters: the being known only as The Fisherman; the strangely vacant-eyed Captain Raymond Clark; and Linda Lee, an enormous but gentle hermit crab who has taken up residence.”
