Overview
- Update 66 is a free release on March 3 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, marking the start of Season 24.
- Roughly 50 public events, now called Activities, gain difficulty scaling up to high-level caps plus higher XP, caps, and improved loot for veteran players.
- A new uninvited guest or Party Crasher system can spawn an extra boss after an Activity, typically a three-star legendary that offers bonus rewards.
- Bigfoot debuts as a rare four-star legendary with a massive club and thrown ticks, drops four-star items including an exclusive mod, and despawns if not defeated within five minutes.
- Developers say Bigfoot will appear more often right after launch before settling to roughly once per hour, while Season 24 adds cryptid-themed cosmetics, events, quests, and broad QoL updates like Pip-Boy performance boosts, armor rebalances, and lighter stored armor.
