Fallout 76’s “The Scientific Forge” Season Introduces The Game’s First Pets

When Fallout 76’s Season 19 – The Scientific Forge drops, it will bring science-based shenanigans to the MMO. The para-military organization known as the Enclave is looking to revitalize the U.S. using the power of science. That doesn’t sound bad in principle, but we all know how these things go. On the bright side, a science-themed season means science-themed goodies, such as an Enclave Lab Coat. Players can also acquire an Enclave Water Cooler, so they have something to stand around and chat during the apocalypse.

Of course, there are weapons as well – like the Tesla Canon. This is a shoulder-mounted energy weapon. Yes, it will look flashy, but it may not bring you as much joy as having your very own doggo or feline friend. Among the many goodies included in the update are a White German Shepherd and a Bombay Cat that can be added to the C.A.M.P. The question is, “Can you pet the dog?”

The new season drops as part of the Gleaming Depths update on December 3. This kicks off four action-packed, event-filled months for the game – as you can see in the calendar below.
