Fallout 76 takes place in Appalachia, has a guitar sword

Fallout 76 is set in West Virginia’s Appalachia, Bethesda recently confirmed.

A single tweet make the confirmation that Fallout 76‘s wasteland will be called Appalachia… and also showcased a strange new weapon.

“How does Appalachia differ from the Commonwealth or Capital Wasteland? It starts with a Guitar Sword,” the tweet stated.

Bethesda’s Pete Hines later took to Twitter to discuss the guitar sword after a fan asked if it could actually be played.

“You can play it like other swords, which is to say you can’t,” Hines said. “Weapons are weapons and musical instruments [are] musical instruments.”

So swinging only. Got it.

Fallout 76 heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 14 November.
