The launch of Fallout 76, was a disaster. The once-lauded series went from controversy to controversy and according to most, was dead on arrival. But 4 years later, not only are vault dwellers still emerging, but they’re being extremely weird.

From black markets, Shakespeare troupes and full-time courier services, all the way to roleplaying cannibals and trap-camp serial killers, we get to the bottom of why Fallout diehards are not only still playing the once ridiculed game, but why their Fallout 76 obsession is taking the MMO further than was ever intended.

This is the IGN Inside Story of the weird and wonderful fans still playing Fallout 76.
