Season 9 – Rewards & Scoreboard
Season 9 “A Dread Island Tale” will start sometime in June 2022. The Scoreboard and Season 9 rewards are already included in the new PTS files.
Visit our dedicated Fallout 76 Season 9 Guide to learn all about the new rewards (screenshots included).
New Public Events
The Test Your Metal Update features three new Public Events:
- Test Your Metal: Appears at the Metal Dome. Once it begins, you will join three members of the Brotherhood Field Team to compete as gladiators against the Rust Eagles’ deadly machines.
- Eviction Notice: Appears at a crater east of Foundation. Find and activate the Rad Scrubber within the crater, and then prepare for a fight!
- Moonshine Jamboree: Takes place inside Sunday Brothers cabin in The Mire. Light the Jamboree Bonfire, and then keep your guard up. Hordes of vicious Gulpers who are curious about the raucous Jamboree will soon flood the area.
Visit our Test Your Metal Update Guide for full reward lists as well as walkthroughs for the new Public Events.
Corpse Highlights
In this update, Corpse Highlighting returns to the Public Test Server with some additional bug fixing and polish so that you can easily spot nearby creature corpses and claim your hard-earned loot.
Corpse Highlights will be enabled by default on the Display tab in the game’s Settings menu.
You can now toggle the setting to decide when you’d like Corpse Highlights to disappear from a fallen enemy: After hovering your crosshairs over the corpse to view their quick inventory, or after inspecting the corpse by viewing their full inventory menu.

Season 9 Atomic Shop Items
A lot of new items have been discovered for the Update 34/35 patch cycle. Some of them will become available in the Atomic Shop, while some of them will be Season 9 rewards. According to 76DataminesDSJ, there are two separate file archives so we’re likely to see a patch in April or May before the major June update.

All of this data-mined information can still be subject to change. It is possible that not all of the discovered items will eventually end up in the Atomic Shop or in the game at all.
