The Fallout 76 Wastelanders update is still less than a month old, and yet players have scarfed down a total of 193,639 pepperoni rolls in-game, nuked the crater settlement multiple times, and been hit 23,961 times by the new boss, the Wendigo Colossus Near Death. It's been a productive month in apocalyptic West Virginia.

These stats come courtesy of Bethesda, who shared some interesting insights from a recent Reddit AMA on their blog, as well as a number of teasing statistics on player trends since Wastelanders was released.

The big takeaway here, aside from players eating a small city's worth of pepperoni rolls of course, is that Bethesda is currently working on the next roadmap for Wastelanders, which may involve the iconic Brotherhood of Steel. These armor-clad techno-zealots have played a major role in nearly every "Fallout" game, but (aside from arbitrary lore reasons) they were less present in "Fallout 76". When asked if future updates might focus on them or The Enclave, the last remnants of the U.S. government, developers Jeff Gardiner and Ferret Bourdain said the Brotherhood is "currently watching the wastelands of West Virginia very closely."

They replied.

Most of the AMA revolved around small features and quality of life issues. The most important of these is a new group recruiting system coming this summer that will allow players to team up with strangers for dungeons and public events. Text chat is also under consideration, Bethesda said, as well as expanding the number of items that can be displayed in a base.

But the real meat (and potatoes) of this developer blog are the pepperoni rolls and other statistics. For example, players sided with the settlers 54% of the time, played over 7 million floating objects, and killed the aforementioned Wendigo Colossus 7,122 times.

Since launching in early April, Wastelanders also helped Fallout 76 finally reach "Mostly Positive" in Steam reviews. According to Chris, Wastelanders has helped Fallout 76 finally feel like a real Fallout game, which is his least favorite game. But hey, progress is progress.
