Fallout 76 opens World Pets test server to let CAMP pets roam Appalachia

Bethesda launches a World Pets Public Test Server (Pspsps-TS) for Fallout 76, allowing players with Steam to trial traveling with CAMP pets.

Pets cannot enter raids, shelters, or swim, and progress on the PTS won’t carry over to live game. A second Pspsps-TS phase will later test combat and the full update. The patch also includes extensive weapon, perk, and legendary-mod changes, with unique items gaining more customization.
