There is one thing Fallout 76 has been missing from the get-go: exploring the wasteland with Dogmeat. But that might be remedied in the future thanks to a recent datamine of the game.
According to Windows Central, a dataminer called SugarBombsRADS shared on the Fallout 76 Datamining Discord community info on a new pets companion system, including a tutorial image featuring a dog and cat. While there is rudimentary pet taming in Fallout 76, this revamped edition seems more in line with what franchise players expect.
Back in 2021, a Fallout 76 roadmap teased CAMP pets, though this feature never launched in the game. Last month, Fallout 76 received a huge Skyline Valley expansion, bringing a new area and questline to the online RPG. Skyline Valley is a first for Fallout 76, since it actually expands the map of the game. The area is based on Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
