‘Fallout 76’ B.E.T.A. Launches This October
Fallout 76 fans who sprung for the pre-order for a chance to participate in the game’s B.E.T.A. (Break-It Early Test Application) test now have a date (sort of) for when they’ll get their hands on a post-nuclear West Virginia.
In a post on the Bethesda forums, Community Admin Jurassica stated the following: “Starting in October we’ll be selecting people who have pre-ordered the game from a participating retailer to enter our B.E.T.A. We’ll start small and grow over time as we prepare for launch”. They then clarified their statement, saying that “everyone who pre-orders at a participating retailer will be included in the B.E.T.A.”.
Of course, there’s a process to actually getting in on the fun. In lieu of reading the FAQ, here’s the gist of it: First, pre-order the game. After that, find the redemption code on your receipt or email confirmation. Take that to bethesda.net, log in (or sign up, if you haven’t) and enter the code. Bethesda will contact you with the details when they’re available. As mentioned previously, the beta will begin first on Xbox One, and come to other platforms later.
For PC users, it’s interesting to note that while you can pre-order Fallout 76 from Gamestop, Best Buy, Target, Amazon, Walmart, Bethesda.net, and the Windows Store, there’s currently no Steam listing. That will probably change down the road, but if you want to get in on the beta, you’ll have to order from the above-mentioned retailers instead of waiting.
Fallout 76 launches November 14th.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
