Fallout 76: 10 Things You Must Do First

6. Hit Level 5 As Soon As Possible

Even those playing at a fairly leisurely pace shouldn't take too long to reach level 5: the early tutorial-esque missions are extremely generous with XP, and within a couple of hours you'll probably be there.

While you shouldn't rush around like a maniac, it's definitely advisable to make a timely pace towards level 5, because that's when the game truly opens up, with PVP options becoming available and Perk Cards being liberally doled out from the level prior.

The appeal of PVP speaks for itself, of course, but even if you're aiming to take the game slow and relaxed, you're only really seeing a small slice of the game until you hit level 5.

In the event you do want to rush your way there, it'll take just under an hour if you stick to the most critical path.
