Pictured here at his camp just before dawn, a trapper wearily cleans and carves a buck for the day’s food and trading. “Between the mentats and the risk of being torn apart by yao-guai, I stay pretty alert most of the time. Not hard to be an early riser when you don’t sleep much.” #Fallout76

Dierdre, 25, hunts for salvage in the remnants of a school bus in the early hours of the morning. “Scrapping isn’t for everyone. It’s a frustrating life, but satisfying, too. You can make it a game, like a treasure hunt. I’ve got the biggest collection of VTU mugs west of the Divide.”

Our camera and repair shop is now open to help fund our journalistic efforts. Snag a roll of film from the vendor bot or get that dusty old ProSnap serviced. Patrons are encouraged to barter before resorting to armed robbery, but that’s probably on us for calling the place “Shoot First” #fallout76

The offices of the Appalachia Observer rise up in the background through the fog. an in game photo of a player character inside the Shoot First Camera and Repair shop. Shelves of old cameras and camera equipment line the walls. The player character has a gun drawn and pointed at the vendor bot. an in game photo of a player character inside the Shoot First Camera and Repair shop.

The Observer’s staff has packed up the old office and we’re movin’ on down the road. From now on, catch us here by the old covered bridge just across from the Wayward so we can say a proper howdy to all the fresh faces turning up in Appalachia. #fallout76
an in-game photo of a roughly cobbled-together newspaper office built from an old monorail car and scrap. a sign illuminated by old street lamps says “The Appalachia Observer.” in the distance, beside a row of skeletal old powerlines, a two story building is barely visible on the fog. an in-game portrait of a staff photographer at the Appalachia Observer. he’s kneeling with his camera atop the old monorail car that serves as the newspaper’s office, dressed in an old t-shirt, jacket, and jeans. behind him sits a tabby cat with a red bowtie. a row of industrial safety lights along the rail behind him illuminates the scene.
