10 Video Game Secrets You Weren't Supposed To Find
5. The Secret Developer Room (Fallout 76)
The video game industry's favourite punching bag lately, Fallout 76 had a messy launch, a messy post-launch, and, well... it's just a bit of a mess overall, really.
From Bethesda accidentally releasing customer information to the general lack of polish within the game itself, it's been a rough ride for the studio and its product, full of regretful decisions and embarrassing moments - like, for example, that time when players cracked open a secret room full of unreleased content.
Obviously, Fallout 76 users were never supposed to be able to find this room, but a few skilled hackers managed to get in. They were able to access every single item in the game, as well as unreleased (at the time) stuff like human NPCs and fresh power armour paints. Bethesda started issuing bans, but players just resorted to dummy accounts to avoid that punishment. It was a right old shambles.
All sorts of games have developer rooms, but they're meant to be inaccessible to players (it's in the name after all - "developer" room). But what makes this secret area stand out from the rest is the fact that it granted access to content that wasn't supposed to be available for several months. Fail.
