Fallout 76‘s latest update marks the start of Season 21: Gone Fission and unsurprisingly, it’s all about fish. The update adds a new questline, new recipes, rare fish to collect and display in your C.A.M.P., and of course, a chill new pastime that can be enjoyed anywhere across the map.
Fishing can be unlocked through the new Casting Off questline, which can be accessed through a new location in the Mire known as Fisherman’s Rest. The questline will give players the base-level fishing rod, which can then be upgraded through Tinker’s Workbench.
The fishing rod isn’t an item that needs to be manually equipped; instead, just go up to any body of water and select the “Fish” command when it shows up on screen. Fishing isn’t contained to just the new area. You can fish anywhere across the map with a handy mantra: If you can swim in it, you can fish in it.
