Bethesda addressed how they plan to tackle griefing (also courtesy of Gamespot). When one player attacks another minimal damage will occur. Howard compared this to slapping someone to see if they wished to fight. Players can choose to ignore or retaliate. Should they decide to fight back, they start doing full damage. For anyone who kills another player who elects not to respond, the guilty party becomes a “Wanted Murderer.” Along with gaining no rewards for their kill, their position on the map is revealed with a red star and a bounty is placed on their heads with money from the player’s own pool. Additionally, should a player be killed, they will only lose any junk they’ve collected, not their weapons or armory. But with hidden stashes around the map, players will quickly learn to hide anything valuable.
Fans will have to wait until November 14 to try their hand at Fallout 76’s new multiplayer game. Unless, of course, they are one of the lucky players to take part in the B.E.T.A. this October. Whenever a game is made multiplayer, it always opens itself up to potential abuses by griefers. But Bethesda appears to be taking creative steps to address the issue without taking away the danger that makes PVP fun. Hopefully the steps the developer has taken will help take the sting out of griefing as well as give guilty players a taste of their own medicine.
