Fallout 76 is getting very close to release, and Bethesda has started talking more about their upcoming game in the past few days, revealing some new details on it.
A few hours ago, the official Fallout 76 Twitter profile shared a new screenshot from the game, showcasing a rather peculiar weapon, a Guitar Sword. The accompanying comment revealed the name of the new map, which will be Appalachia.

Pete Hines further elaborated on the new weapon, saying that it's, sadly, just a weapon, and cannot be used as a musical instrument
You can play it like other swords, which is to say you can’t. 🙂
Weapons are weapons and musical instruments and musical instruments.

Sleeping and logging out of the game have been confirmed to be separate, so players won't have to worry about their character being defenseless when away.
If they log off their character goes away. Even if they are asleep.
