The Skyline Valley update was only available on the Test Server in April and May. During this time, some areas were added, others removed, and many changes were made throughout the testing period. Thus, there is a possibility that some locations may not be released yet. However, as of now, Skyline Valley has added approximately 26 points of interest to the map in Fallout 76.

The new map also brings new enemies, like giant mutated North American turkeys called Thrashers and a trio of coordinated Robobrains named Storm Goliath. In a new event, you will get to fight with Storm Goliath robots and face various new enemies, including the Lost, who are electrified ghouls from the Vault 63.
