Becoming 'Wanted' in Fallout 76 isn't a lifetime sentence. You either wait out the storm for 60 minutes, or get caught by a bounty hunter player. Pro tip: Sometimes, it's easier to just let a friend take you out and split the bounty. Keeps things friendly and your in-game wallet a bit fatter.
In Fallout 76, if you get slapped with a 'Wanted' status, you're looking at holding onto that notorious title for a whole hour, or until another player decides to collect the bounty on your head. So, maybe don't pick that lock in someone else's camp unless you're ready for some PVP action.
Wanted level lasts too long IMO. Just one hour of hiding or getting hunted, feels like forever in game time. They should make it shorter.
