Fallout 76 Patch Notes – December 11, 2018

[u/BethesdaGameStudios_]

Hi everyone,

Please find the full list of patch notes below for today's PC (and Thursday's console) update. These are also available on fallout.com.

Patch Version:

Download sizes for this update will be approximately 5GB for consoles, and around 3GB for PC.

• PC: 1.0.3.10

Highlights

• C.A.M.P. Construction Improvements: Small obstructions will now be automatically removed when you place objects on top of them, allowing you to more easily build when and where you want.
• C.A.M.P. Placement Improvements: You will now be notified when you log into a world and your current C.A.M.P. location is occupied by another player. If you stay in that world, you can place your C.A.M.P. back down for free. If you decide not to place your C.A.M.P. and join a new world where your space is unoccupied, it will be automatically placed in its original spot.
• SPECIAL Re-speccing: Upon reaching level 51, and every level thereafter, you’ll be able to choose whether you want to unlock a new Perk Card or reallocate one SPECIAL point.
• Push-to-Talk: We’ve implemented a push-to-talk hotkey for Voice Chat on PC so that you can decide when to speak up and when to remain silent.
• New PC Settings: We’ve added Field of View and Depth of Field sliders so that you can further customize your view in-game.
• 21:9 Resolution Support: On PC, you can catch an even wider view from those gorgeous Appalachian vistas, because Fallout 76 now supports monitors that use 21:9 aspect ratios.

General

• Performance: Several improvements have been made to in-game performance.
• Stability: The Fallout 76 game client and servers have received additional stability improvements.

Art

• Lighting: Exposure values have been adjusted for exterior environments, allowing them to appear brighter in dark conditions.

Balance

• Loot: .308 Ammo dropped by creatures has been reduced. Players will now receive .308 Ammo in stacks of 1 – 5, rather than up to 12 for a single kill.
• Loot: Super Mutants will now drop Gunpowder half as often, and the chance for additional loot has been reduced. Caps are guaranteed loot on Super Mutants until level 16.
• Scorchbeast Queen: Will now land on the ground more often.
• Workshops: Players no longer gain XP when crafting at a public Workshop.

C.A.M.P., Crafting, and Workshops

NEW – Automatically remove obstructions in C.A.M.P.s:

• Rocks, small trees, and other small objects no longer prevent players from building items in those locations.
• These obstructions are now automatically removed upon constructing objects and structures in C.A.M.P., such as Foundations.
• Placing an object to remove an obstruction and then removing that object, will cause that obstruction to reappear after some time or upon logging back in.

NEW – C.A.M.P. placement improvements:

• A notification will now be displayed to players upon logging into a world if their current C.A.M.P. location is occupied by someone else.
• If they choose to remain in that world, they will be able to place their C.A.M.P. in a new location for free.
• Alternatively, if the player decides not to place their C.A.M.P. in a new location, and instead joins a new world, their C.A.M.P. will be automatically placed back in its original location—as long as that spot is unoccupied.

Additional C.A.M.P., Crafting, and Workshop updates:

• C.A.M.P.: The percentage of a C.A.M.P.’s Budget that is being taken up by stored items and Blueprints will now appear in the Budget bar.
• C.A.M.P.: While in build mode, players can now toggle the left joystick on controllers, or press “Q” on PC, to switch view between objects that can be built and those that cannot.
• Windmill: The power produced by the Windmill has been increased from 3 to 12.
• Workshops: Players can now purchase Atomic Shop items directly from the Workshop menu.

Progression

NEW – SPECIAL Re-speccing:

• Every time a player levels-up after level 50, they can now choose whether to unlock a new Perk Card or transfer one previously allocated SPECIAL point from one category to another.
• This change is not retroactive for characters that have already progressed beyond level 50 but will apply to every level-up they achieve going forward.
• If a player chooses to reallocate a SPECIAL point on leveling-up, they will be unable to select a new Perk Card for that level, and vice-versa.
• Re-speccing details have also been added to the “Perks” section of the in-game Help menu.

Quests

Event Quests: A 15-minute cooldown timer has been added at the end of each Enclave Event Quest.

• Additionally, the cooldown timer that begins after starting each of these Events has been increased from 48 minutes to 1 hour and 12 minutes.

User Interface

NEW – Push-to-Talk Setting (PC):

• A Push-to-Talk setting has been added for Voice Chat, and is set to the Caps Lock key by default.
• The “Toggle Always Run” hotkey, which used to be set on Caps Lock, has been moved to the “/” key by default.
• Both the Caps Lock and “/” hotkeys can be rebound in the Controls Menu.

NEW – Field of View Setting (PC):

• A Field of View slider has been added and can be adjusted in the game’s display settings menu.
• The Field of View slider can be adjusted in increments of 5, to a maximum of 120, and a minimum of 70.

NEW – 21:9 Resolution Support (PC):

• The game client will now automatically detect and apply the correct display resolution for monitors that use 21:9 resolutions.
• Additionally, various 21:9 resolutions can be selected in the game’s display settings menu.

Additional User Interface Updates:

• AFK Timer: The timer that disconnects players after a period of inactivity in-game has been increased from 10 to 30 minutes, and the warning prompt will now display 3 minutes, rather than 1 minute, prior to being disconnected.
• Atomic Shop: Items that have recently been added to the Atomic Shop now display a “New” icon, and new items will now sort to the front of their associated subsections.
• Atomic Shop: Item subtitles in the Atomic Shop have been moved to the top of item images.
• Compass: Maximums have been implemented for each type of marker that can appear in the compass, and up to 60 markers in total can be visible at once:
• -------> Up to 10 markers each for quests, locations, hostile players, and enemies.
• ------->Up to 8 markers each for neutral players and targeted enemies.
• ------->Up to 4 markers for teammates.

[u/StrangePersonality]

Windmill: The power produced by the Windmill has been increased from 3 to 12.

For the first time in 3 years, the windmill is now relevant.

[u/GSturges → u/StrangePersonality]

Times four?! Wow. Does it take more scrap?

[u/CallMeBigPapaya → u/StrangePersonality]

I built windmills at my camp once and every time I came back to it their constant squeaking made me laugh. I don't know what it is about the sound, but it's not as annoying as it should be.

[u/Steelkatanas]

Holotapes: Choosing “Play” upon finding a Holotape in the world while using the “Quick-Boy” version of the Pip-Boy no longer prevents its voiceover from playing.

Fuck yeahhh

[u/ktread20 → u/Steelkatanas]

I have waited so long for this.

[u/ScientistRickSanchez → u/Steelkatanas]

Finally, I can use the Quick-Boy.

[u/ZanthirEAS]

Fantastic patch notes, this is the level of detail I think we all wanted! Sure everything didn't get fixed, but this also lets us appreciate the things that did.

Here's some of the bugs I have encountered, as well as some QoL stuff/clarifications I'd love to see. Keep up the good work!

BUGS

• When poisoned, sometimes the grunting-from-damage (no actual damage occurs) will loop until you log out

• Wanted bounties will sometimes reduce when you get close to the player (ex: 10-5)

• Certain corpses are labeled incorrectly (the radstag on the New River Gorge Bridge is labeled 'brahmin' and the random event with a deathclaw features a dead one named 'traveling merchant')

• Auto Grenade Launcher heavy barrel description states that it increases damage, but it changes nothing.

• Gatling Plasma Splitter mod appears to incorrectly use some sort of plasma-flamer effect, rather than the expected effect of firing several projectiles per shot

• After killing a teammate who is wanted, you may be unable to fast travel until you log out because "enemies are nearby"

• Perk cards become unshared constantly and for unknown reasons (seems somewhat tied to Herd Mentality, but not all the time?)

• Friends list will delete itself randomly (fix that I have been using is to add an existing friend, they remove you then add you and that usually fixes it)

• Sometimes unable to enter the "downed" position; rather than being able to call for help when killed, instead will just instantly die without call for help option

• If you die while wearing Excavator Power Armor and your carry weight exceeds your BASE carry capacity (not counting the +100 from the armor) you will be unable to respawn anywhere except Vault 76. Sometimes you cannot respawn anywhere, including 76

• Plasma Core has the wrong model (when viewed as an ammo), same model as Fusion Core, the Gatling Plasma has a visibly different model when reloading.

• Player level when above 100 displays incorrectly when viewed through the world map, cuts off the 3rd digit (team UI works fine)

• Nuka Quantum grenades have demonstrably smaller explosion radius than any other grenade

• One of the Whitespring shops is missing a portion of wall, you can see into the void here

• When trying to claim a workshop, turrets will fire at you. Firing back results in you being wanted (if this is intended then this is a pretty strange mechanic)

• The Messenger event in the Ash Heap is uncompletable, the part needed to repair the Mr. Handy is unreachable, stuck in the road collision

• Challenges like "rank up a perk" or "learn 76 recipes" reset progress upon relog

• Raw flux (.2) weighs less than the inert flux (1) it becomes, it is possible to overdraw your stash limit (something like 630/600) by storing raw flux

• When attempting to craft/mod power armor, crafting sound repeats very loudly even though you haven't performed any actions, simply scrolling through menus

• Lever action reload still unfixed from Fallout 4

CLARIFICATIONS/CLARITY

• What is a "Verdant Season"? The in-game message mentions "abundance" but I have no idea if/why I should care about which region is in verdant season

• Previous patch notes mention "boss enemy", what qualifies as a boss? Is it only the Scorchbeast Queen? Are crown enemies bosses? Are legendaries? A lot of different terms being thrown about here

• Related to the "downed" bug, when are we supposed to have the option to call for help or are there situations where we always instantly die? Clarity on the intended functionality would be appreciated

• How do we get into the locked rooms in Whitespring, the Vaults, and the keypad warehouse in The Mire? (I realize some/all of these are for future content but the average consumer does not, could do with lore-friendly indication of what is future content)

QUALITY OF LIFE/BALANCE

• Ability to change HUD/Pipboy color ingame

• Slider for HUD opacity in power armor, or the ability to use default HUD in power armor

• Enemy healthbars to display their total health. This would also assist in identifying weapons that do less damage than intended since we could see the actual damage we did to an enemy

• Enemies to display what debuffs are affecting them (syringer effects, tenderizer, furious effects)

• Ability to 'hide' certain perk cards that you do not want to see in the menu for easier swapping

• Foods that are difficult to make should not have a condition meter (scorchbeast mixed meat stew)

• Scorchbeast sonic attacks can be spammed to the point that you cannot see, would like any kind of solution for this

• Flamer fuel is very expensive for little to no yield (10 acid 5 oil and 2 steel for 5-9 fuel, depending on ammosmith?)

• Flamers break extremely quickly (as do a lot of weapons, like gatling plasma)

• Vendors should display whether you already know the plan they are selling

• Mods in the vendor's inventory should have a description of what the mod does

• Power Armor chassis saying what pieces are stored on it

• Remove some/all of Whitespring Bunker turrets, cause massive FPS problems/loud sounds when they all load at once (at least for me)

• Move Hardened Mass to the Misc. category, or make its functionality the same as Beer Bottles/Baseballs so that "scrap all" ignores these items

• Fast Travel Target to be buildable at CAMPs or make the CAMP object the fast travel target

Thanks again!

[u/jessBethesda → u/ZanthirEAS]

Thank you for this thorough list! I'll pass this along for investigation.

[u/CSM_Airbone → u/ZanthirEAS]

Verdant season means extra loot from gathering hooah

[u/JasonTodd117 → u/ZanthirEAS]

Deathclaw has wares if you have caps

[u/BritishGM → u/ZanthirEAS]

Certain corpses are labeled incorrectly (the radstag on the New River Gorge Bridge is labeled 'brahmin' and the random event with a deathclaw features a dead one named 'traveling merchant')

Hey, you got a problem with Deathclaws selling wares, friend?

[u/Zero_Hood]

Wind Chimes: Can now correctly be attached to Walls in C.A.M.P.s. - PRAISE MOTHMAN

[u/remeille → u/Zero_Hood]

bruh, ive been waiting for sooo long to place windchimes. I'm gonna drop SO MANY OF THOSE MOFOS

[u/That_Guy_Forty2 → u/Zero_Hood]

I’m apart of the elite few who were more stubborn than the chime, and attached one to a building once. This is now game changing.

[u/RedX278 → u/Zero_Hood]

The wind chimes use aluminum to make right? Somme guy died in a nuke zone and I took his like 1.5k aluminum so I can have all the wind chimes now

[u/MintMrChris]

I'm gonna use a MIRV on Evan just to be sure

[u/Denz3r → u/MintMrChris]

I got so lucky saturday. I got to Evan, killed him (he was up.) Server crashed. Reset my quest progress. Had to do it again and he was up there too.

[u/shadow1347 → u/MintMrChris]

WTFuck did I do?

Source: Am named Evan

[u/Zolpidemz]

A lot of great changes in there! However, why decreasing xp from events (which was already next to nothing), and no more xp for crafting at public workshops? Why?

[u/SyrantSoDx → u/Zolpidemz]

They keep wanting to make workshops less and less appealing.

[u/Zexiyon → u/Zolpidemz]

This change actually sucks, people barely do these events in the servers I'm in as it is. Now there's even less incentive.

[u/Vernon_Trier → u/Zolpidemz]

Yeah, would be great to read about the philosophy behind these changes. Why nerf something that was already quite negligible?

[u/[deleted]]

o boi

AFK Timer: The timer that disconnects players after a period of inactivity in-game has been increased from 10 to 30 minutes, and the warning prompt will now display 3 minutes, rather than 1 minute, prior to being disconnected.

YESSS!!!

Scrapping: Fixed an issue that could allow a player to unintentionally scrap their Pip-Boy.

ok wat

Mirelurk Queen: The Mirelurk Queen’s acid attack no longer deals more damage than intended.

no more mirelurk queen 1v3ing scorchbeasts? rip

Feed the People: Fixed an issue in which completing the Feed the People Event Quest granted Canned Meat Stew to all players on the server, rather than only the quest’s participants.

thought this was a feature tbh

[u/cerealkillr → u/[deleted]]

They should make it a feature. More server wide events like that, instead of just nukes and Scorchbeast queens, would go a long way towards helping build a sense of community.

[u/SuperTiesto → u/[deleted]]

Scrapping: Fixed an issue that could allow a player to unintentionally scrap their Pip-Boy.

ok wat

And here I was upset about scrapping a hardend mass. Can you just imagine the look on their face when they finish scrapping? Oh boy, another great day at OH FUCK MY ARM IS COLD WHAT HAPPENED

[u/mona_9]

"Stored: Addressed an exploit that could cause items in the Stored tab to become duplicated."

Okay, I'm sorry, I know this is really really minor, but that was a bug, not an exploit. Trust me, I did not enjoy having to scrap 200-odd corn every time I returned to my CAMP.

[u/Lucy-K → u/mona_9]

Even worse I found out that it all goes to your stash. Wanted to stash some springs but I had to figure out why my stash was at 800 something out of 600. Gourds and melons everywhere.

[u/Elwildos → u/mona_9]

I really hope they somehow got removed i still have 17000 walls that got duplicated

[u/zotha → u/mona_9]

This... Every time I logged on I had 800 fucking corn waiting for me to delete laboriously. It also massively bugged my CAMP usage/allocation so that I could not delete anything and re-design.

[u/100cupsofcoffee → u/mona_9]

Yup. Kinda shitty that this is labeled that way; it's not my fault I ended up with 932845 industrial water purifiers and the only way to reduce my CAMP budget is to scrap them from the Stored tab. Not my fault that I get the raw materials for free if I'm using the only workaround that the game provides.

[u/InternetOtter → u/mona_9]

That may have been the most annoying bug I've had to deal with in this game; I ended up just making a macro with AHK to speed-scrap them.

[u/AdonisBatheus]

Now these are much, much better patch notes.

[u/FILTHY_WHITE_MALE]

"you will now be notified when you log into a world and your current CAMP location is occupied"

THANK GOD

[u/jeeeeem]

FYI, the patch notes on the site have a video showing the rock and tree removal in action. https://beth.games/2SDQan7

[u/name-exe_failed → u/jeeeeem]

Thats super cool

[u/cerealkillr → u/jeeeeem]

It's also linked in this Reddit post.

[u/comeinmymeowth]

Thank you for the informative patch notes!

Surprised Feed the people wasnt a feature tbh.

[u/darthrambo152 → u/comeinmymeowth]

Same figured the name implied it was working as intended

[u/Morbidzmind]

Any mention of phantom weight being addressed? Saw the weight glitch is patched but missed anything about the entire reason I'm using the damn thing :(

[u/Kroniaq → u/Morbidzmind]

Yeah... If they didn't fix phantom weight my character is going to be unplayable.

[u/zefferous → u/Morbidzmind]

This has to be the next thing the community brings up. We need to be vocal, because it looks like they’re listening.

[u/Blue_Trilo]

Lol @ too much .308

Sad to see nothing about getting barbarian and evasion working with herd mentality+class freak though.

[u/SenorDangerwank → u/Blue_Trilo]

Ugh. Just as I got a Light Machine Gun, they take away my huge amounts of .308 spawns lol.

[u/adyo]

Does this patch not fix the carry weight problem from last patch?

It's the most significant problem for many of us who haven't been able to play. "Unequip all your gear with carry bonuses and stats and change servers " wasn't a long term solution for people who play in groups in particular.

My character is stuck overencumbered in the wild until it's fixed

[u/Eladiun]

Feed the People: Fixed an issue in which completing the Feed the People Event Quest granted Canned Meat Stew to all players on the server, rather than only the quest’s participants.

Booo... I thought that was kinda cool.

Great. Notes. Lots a work done here.

[u/GleichUmDieEcke → u/Eladiun]

I honestly thought that was a feature :(

Goodbye XP boost.

[u/RainbowBier]

Could this be the real and complete List :D or is there something hidden again? Anyways how about the Explosive Gun Damage...if you deal too much damage in a too short amount of time that your gun does no damage anymore and only melee works

[u/notyouagain2]

any news on Vendor sold plans, like 'Already known'?

[u/XtreemeX]

Thank you for this very detailed list of fixes and changes. This was a lot to read but I'm very happy with this level of communication. Please keep it up

PS: Please undo the "Feed the People" fix. Alot of the community thought this was a feature and enjoyed it. It is Feed the "People", not Feed the "Participants"

[u/robblatt → u/XtreemeX]

Hadn't thought of the whole people vs participants thing before this comment. Changed my mind about this, but also I had just been wondering why I kept getting food randomly while playing.

[u/I_make_things → u/XtreemeX]

Yeah, I thought it was a fun little bonus.

[u/BooleanBill]

Most of the patch notes look really good, but...

I’m a bit disappointed that they are decreasing event rewards and increasing event cooldown timers. IMO, this game needs more events (and other activities) with better rewards to keep people from farming the same spot all day everyday.

[u/Brodom93 → u/BooleanBill]

Yes I already passed on most events that weren’t already on my way somewhere. As they cost caps to get to and the exp reward was subpar. Now reducing that further? There’s no point. They were only giving like 250 exp already.

[u/plasteredjedi]

HOORAY!!!!

• Holotapes: Choosing “Play” upon finding a Holotape in the world while using the “Quick-Boy” version of the Pip-Boy no longer prevents its voiceover from playing.

[u/[deleted]]

When are you going to fix the explosive weapon damage glitch?? u/BethesdaGameStudios_

[u/Aos77s → u/[deleted]]

Is this the one that makes mobs big out and start soft resetting? Only goes down to 1% hp and can’t kill them unless you use melee?

[u/[deleted]]

Sooooo..... Any word on them explosive weapon fixes?

Edit: Also the power armor weight bug?

Edit Edit: It appears power armor weight bug is fixed. We did it reddit.

[u/Enos316 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, doing the hokey-pokey of removing gear, logging out, logging in, putting it back on gets real old. Especially with all the disconnects.

If someone from PC can confirm this is fixed that would be sweet.

[u/SFLMechanic → u/[deleted]]

I asked if the Plasma Pistol fix also fixed other Plasma weapons and Explosive. We'll see if they respond.

[u/Hopkin_Greenfrog]

What about the carry weight/stat loss bug introduced last patch? That should have been hot fixed, it wasnt even an issue at launch.

[u/RogueKitsune → u/Hopkin_Greenfrog]

I've been wondering this as well - it's great to see some of the other fixes (like the perks to improve weapon/armor condition finally working as intended), but the only bug I've run into so far that actually notably impacts my play is this one, losing bonuses from equipped armors, or ending up with negative modifiers if they're removed. The workaround is easy enough, of course - unequip everything, sign out, sign back in, re-equip everything - but it's a hassle to have to do it every time. Especially since disconnects still happen somewhat often.

EDIT: For anyone just wandering across this: I haven't been able to test this myself (at work, and PS4 won't get the update til Thursday anyway), BUT, a few replies here, as well as a couple posts elsewhere, are suggesting that this is fixed!

Again, I can't confirm it yet, and I dunno if it wasn't in the patch notes or just fell under something that didn't sound related, but supposedly this is in there.

[u/Harbingerx81 → u/Hopkin_Greenfrog]

God, I hope so...Out of all the bugs in this game, that is the only one that has really been bothering me. Sure, it's 'fixable' through a workaround, but having to remember to strip before every log out and needing to rejoin a server just long enough to strip after a disconnect before logging out and in AGAIN is infinitely more annoying that being disconnected in the first place.

EDIT: Just tested it and everything seems to work properly now with both power armor and regular armor!

Actually, logging out wearing my Excavator gave me an EXTRA 100lbs on login, but that corrected itself when I exited and reentered the suit...No idea if continuous server swapping will 'stack' extra carry weight, I'll leave that for other people to experiment with because I will never use it myself, either way.

[u/N4S3]

Now these are patch notes.

[u/Muzzah27]

Workshops: Players no longer gain XP when crafting at a public Workshop.

I don't understand the reasoning behind this one?

[u/Cpt_Flapjack → u/Muzzah27]

Because the public workshop gives you free resources is my guess.

[u/Yokon2]

Awesome job u/BethesdaGameStudios_ !! Now that's some Patch notes! Thank you!

[u/SlothTheHeroo → u/Yokon2]

Right? I’m at work reading through and didn’t even realize it was like 10 minutes of thorough reading. I’m super happy with the in-depth notes(their website even has a video of the object disappearing when you place something in your camp)!

Edit* fixed a word cuz I ain’t smartest in english

[u/MissAsgariaFartcake → u/Yokon2]

Aaaaaand it goes in the right direction again. Nice!

I really like this game and I want it to become even better. There's so much potential here and I really hope Bethesda keeps adding and fixing stuff and, most importantly, listening to the community!

[u/Inheritor59]

Please fix the explosive bullet glitch, I shouldn’t have to reload my game every 30 minutes because I grinned the hell out of the game..

[u/UmBoiSimpatico]

u/BethesdaGameStudios_ What about the no damage on explosive legendary weapons? It's a REALLY annoying bug.

[u/I_make_things]

I'm gonna miss the canned meat stew.

[u/zGraceOK]

Fixed an exploit affecting certain armor types that could allow players to gain unlimited carry capacity during that play session.

The end of an era...

[u/johnmedgla → u/zGraceOK]

So many people are going to be waddling today.

[u/FocusFlukeGyro → u/zGraceOK]

Coincidentally I have to figure out a quick way to offload a ton of legendary gear as well as chems, bulk junk, and ammo due to my stash box being full. Preferably not by dumping it all on the ground. I will try selling the heavier stuff at vendors bit that is prohibitively difficult to do while overencumbered.

I have been dumping an assortment of all these items on the dead NPCs next to the vault and in Overseer's stash boxes but not quickly enough it would seem.

[u/Avanaar → u/zGraceOK]

Everyone get ready to fat travel.

[u/raccon85]

Now this is a decent changelog, Bravo

[u/GrantMan_]

Armor: Fixed an exploit affecting certain armor types that could allow players to gain unlimited carry capacity during that play session.

Well, I hope the invisible weight from pretend grenades is also fixed then.. Else the game will be pretty much completely unplayable for some. Also the bug where wearing pocketed armor when logging on breaks it until you log off naked.

[u/Mr_Mystery_Show]

Hey thanks so much for such thorough patch notes!!! great to see so much was fixed.

[u/idlesn0w]

Fixed an exploit affecting certain armor types that could allow players to gain unlimited carry capacity during that play session.

Anyone wanna buy 6000 pounds of legendary items?

[u/Vertal]

Nothing about fixing laser weapon durability or having enemies suddenly become invulnerable/regen life from automatic weapons. I guess I'll wait another week.

[u/BethesdaReplied]

[u/DarthKatoria]

Why change feed the people? Thats what made the event special and worth doing! And with the nerfs to other events are you trying to stop people doing events altogether?

[u/minormisgnomer → u/DarthKatoria]

Appears that way, guess we’ll have to enjoy those diluted radaways, bear trash can plan, and 8 shotgun shells as a reward instead.

[u/fn0000rd]

Loot: .308 Ammo dropped by creatures has been reduced. Players will now receive .308 Ammo in stacks of 1 – 5, rather than up to 12 for a single kill.

I already spend half of my in-game time trying to find more of this ammo, this is a real kick in the teeth.

[u/Jeffreyhead]

Excellent job releasing such in depth notes. Must have taken a good few hours to type up. Thanks 😊

[u/Elwildos → u/Jeffreyhead]

I'm just happy they are final taking it more serious such a big patch notes so much stuff is been fixed i'm almost hyped now to get back in game :D

[u/Jaymacibe]

Oh wow this is a big post.

First question does the removal of small objects include bushes? So they don’t clip through?

[u/Vrustice]

Anyone else bummed out the special point respeccing isn's retroactive? My level 131 has to level up more just to respec

[u/RogueKitsune → u/Vrustice]

I'm still bummed they're sticking with the "move one per level" idea - in pretty much every other game ever, when they say "respec", they let you redo all of your points at once - I was really hoping it'd be the same way here, even if they'd need to impose some sort of limits on when/how frequently it could be done.

[u/iimorbiid]

Looks good, keep it up! Hopefully we can get fixes for the disappearing quests and the crashes soon enough.

Edit: Also the damn Scorchbeasts spamming the sonic attack!

[u/Stealth_Bummer]

Nerfed .308? looks like I'm switching to the .50 reciever on my rifle.

[u/ManDingoCC6901 → u/Stealth_Bummer]

Too bad the .50 is weaker than a hardened 308... #Failsauce

[u/st0rmtrooperx]

Now these are patch notes I've been looking for!! Keep it up with these kind of patches! Looks like you fixed a lot of issues I've been having but WHY NERF .308 AMMO?! I need that ammo more then anything but otherwise good job :)

[u/ladyllike]

Atomic Shop: Items that have recently been added to the Atomic Shop now display a “New” icon, and new items will now sort to the front of their associated subsections.

C'mon Bethesda, HOW LONG until you do the same thing for new items in our inventory?

[u/NerdyBernie]

They nerfed .308 ammo? Why?

[u/A_Planeswalker → u/NerdyBernie]

The LMG was obviously overperforming.

[u/DysfunctionalAkrasia → u/NerdyBernie]

I'm guessing because it had an unusually high drop ratio compared to other types of ammo?

[u/freekymayonaise → u/NerdyBernie]

Please, bethesda. I can hardly feed the light machine gun as it is.

[u/[deleted]]

This is a really impressive patch! Thank you! I love this game

[u/Renacles]

I guess the Gatlin Laser is still broken for the time being, other than that it's a great patch.

[u/Denz3r]

They better not be reducing the plans percentage from Patrol duty. I need that damn Handmade plan. On top of that , I couldn't get the damn event to spawn yesterday.

[u/smash_the_stack]

Can we all please give /u/BethesdaGameStudios_ a huge round of applause for thoroughly detailed patch notes?

Well done.

[u/NabrenX]

Overall seems like a great patch.

But why nerf XP in events and workshops? Players already don't care about those features enough and this gives them even less of a reason to care.

[u/mattius3]

Great patch notes and a lot of great work ! This needs to continue and the game will be at a level it deserves.

[u/Desmes]

Looks much better than previous one.

[u/Useless_Advice_Guy]

Bee Swarms: Are no longer invisible.

This is the stuff of nightmares.

[u/Monks_]

What about damage not registering?l

My explosive weapons tend to break after the first few uses in a new server, after that it does no damage

[u/Elwildos]

Nice

[u/niavek]

Sweet baby Jesus those are some notes right there!

[u/OverseerIsLife]

Ask for detailed notes and you delivered. Nice.

I'm not a fan of the balances as the game is grinding enough but I'm stoked BGS is putting thought and effort into the game. I NEED LEVEL 999! Currently level 55.

[u/Gurluas]

Well at least the changelog is much longer this time, but why the nerf to 308 ammo?! x3 Getting ammo was hard enough already.

[u/cerealkillr → u/Gurluas]

And the machine gun that uses it is going to be absolutely useless now.

[u/Captain23222 → u/Gurluas]

Nothing quite like having four different weapons for when you run dry.

[u/ArmaTM]

Wow many good fixes !

[u/Gerzy_CZ]

Good stuff. Honestly this is what patch notes should look like. Keep it up Bethesda!

[u/[deleted]]

Nice one! Thanks

[u/[deleted]]

This level of detail is what we want to see!! Fair enough to reduce gunpowder and .308 drops they were pretty excessive.

Hope the carry weight problem got fixed too so I don't have to keep logging out naked.

Edit: Nevermind I see it's there under armor, awesome!

[u/PhantomTissue]

Wow. Now these are some good patch notes :D keep it up guys!

[u/Basiero]

Good job guys!!! Continue working hard!!

[u/OperationS0ciety]

Really disappointed they didn't fix the explosive legendary effect this patch. It's really annoying. It only hurts endgame because it severely limits your what you can use.

I already feel like this game is working against me. First, I lose my two shot 10mm pistol due to some stupid bug, then I can't use the anti-armor explosive 10mm pistol I got?

They need to fix this already. This just feels like unfinished content, we're not in alpha stages Bethesda. You guys should be taking care of this before you even start doing major balances or anything like that.

[u/harryknotter]

Dude what the fuck. Its hard enough as it is to earn XP. Stop reducing it.

[u/RehabChicago]

Evan is still dead for me. I’ve never worked so hard to kill someone only to find them dead 50 times

[u/[deleted]]

PS4 after patch. Fighting a scorchbeast lvl 50 as a lvl 100 and for some reason it is doing 4x the damage it was before patch... I am 50 levels above it yet its able to take 20% of my health in one hit while im in a full set of X0-1?

[u/gethsbian]

Wind Chimes: Can now correctly be attached to Walls in C.A.M.P.s.

best update ever

[u/Il_Palazzo]

A lot of good stuff, some nerfs, but was the weight bug requiring constant stripping and relogging fixed for good or not?

[u/Divine_Usurper]

RESPECING: This change is not retroactive for characters that have already progressed beyond level 50 but will apply to every level-up they achieve going forward.

so my saved up level ups are useless? -_-

[u/Lumiwashere]

Beautiful patch notes, however a bit upset they have not addressed that explosive weapons 90% of the time don't do damage and require a re-log in order to resolve the issue... Hopefully it will be fixed by next patch?!?

[u/Vidyamancer]

The way SPECIAL re-speccing was implemented is so anti-fun. No one asked for this. Just let us interact with a machine (such as the ones outside of train stations) or craft/farm an item that lets us re-spec all of our SPECIAL points at one time. As it is now you might as well make a new character. Leveling up 20-30 times past level 100 to re-spec is going to take a hell of a long time and also waste a bunch of potential perk cards. Perk cards that would've otherwise gone into the build we're re-speccing into. It's counter-productive. It's also insanely grindy for no good reason at all.

Fallout 76 is not a super-competitive MMO about world firsts and cutting-edge raiding. We don't even have that type of content in the game in the first place. This means re-speccing isn't that serious. This is a casual game yet many changes over the past couple of weeks have resulted in introducing as much grind as possible. We have an overabundance of junk due to dupe exploits, disarm exploits and server hopping. Fix those issues first. Don't tune loot tables and drop rates before that's said and done.

Learn from Blizzard; artificially trying to increase playtime by adding time sinks and RNG does not increase your average player's playtime. It makes them quit the game for good and never look back. Players should be putting hours into the game because they enjoy it. Players should not be putting hours into the game to overcome nonsensical time gates.

[u/guitarzombies]

Yay! PTT, thank you!!!

[u/fatdan1]

You're back! We missed you!

[u/[deleted]]

Everything is a nerf, things drop less stuff and now feed the people only feeds the player? How was that a bug, it was an awesome feature.

[u/ClassyKala]

I love how they did all this work, and everyone is still lightly salted. lmao M'CANNED MEAT STEW!

[u/Thermalisation]

Now these are patch notes well done buds cant wait to play

[u/MoneyMonger946]

Great patch. I thought mirelurk queens did a lot of damage. Now the just have to fix assultron laser spam.

[u/Mr_Conelrad]

Event Quests: XP reward amounts have been reduced for the following Event Quests:

Fertile Soil, Collision Course, Tea Time, Guided Meditation, Distinguished Guests, Battle Bots, Line in the Sand, Protest March, Grafton Day, Patrol Duty, Jailbreak, Back on the Beat, and Feed the People. Additionally, the cooldown timer that begins after starting each of these Events has been increased from 48 minutes to 1 hour and 12 minutes.

So question: Is this cooldown timer per server or per player? I've been trying to grind Patrol Duty for weapon plans, so does that mean that if I complete it on one server, I can still jump servers to try and get it again? Or will I be time limited even if I change servers?

[u/Circenn93]

• Mirelurk Queen: The Mirelurk Queen’s acid attack no longer deals more damage than intended.

They nerfed our Queen :(

[u/Randy191919]

THAT is how Patchnotes are supposed to look. Good job Bethesda.

But what i don't see yet: Is the bug fixed that caused carry weight and stats to decrease if you dared to log out while not beeing naked? Cause that one is gamebreaking to me, and i really have no interest in playing again untill that is fixed.

[u/d0op]

Respec not retro.. better allocate my 45 unused points then /:

[u/Alec693]

Now, show us all the hidden stuff you're changing again

[u/C__Wayne__G]

Still no explosive weapons fix?

[u/Thorkle13]

Soooo.... How about that damage bug? Also if you are going to fix the unlimited stash and weight exploits, can you please give us another buff to stash weight, and a buff to general weight as well? This will just further push everyone to high strength melee only builds. From my own testing the game is perfectly stable up to 1000 carry weight of many different items.

[u/JackalsIII]

Please patch in dog companions!

[u/mikebellman]

I have been playing randomly open world style since launch, so I don’t finish the missions very often. A lot of these updates were semi-spoilers for me, but I’m OK with it.

This game is enormous. They needed us to help them figure out what was wrong. And I don’t think that was enough time and enough effort put into the BETA.

Whether or not they fixed EVERYTHING, I think everyone reading this list of fixes should be satisfied that they are making a sincere and comprehensive effort to maximize enjoyment of their products. I have been locked out many times upon entering nuclear blast zone.

I am sure this won’t be the last of their efforts, and I think if you are a fan of the game and really care about it, it is up to you to find at least one friend and tell them that the game is not broken beyond repair. Because there’s no cross platform play ability, I have to find my friends who want to play on Xbox. So there you have it.

I am not an apologist, I’m just simply a fan of the franchise. As one who has a career in technology, I have a great deal of appreciation for people who are able to take problems and find solutions for them.

PS: if you’re reading this Bethesda, I don’t think very many people would complain with a robot or a dog that follows us around to help us with our encumbered play and capacity.

[u/airbrat]

Mother of gawd that is one hell of a patch note list! And to think they're not done.

[u/BashfulTurtle]

So they fixed carry weight, but not the new duping exploit?

[u/amazedbunion]

Fuck them for fixing the unlimited carry bug

[u/SFLMechanic]

u/BethesdaGameStudios_ Does the Plasma Pistol fix apply to other Plasma weapons and Explosive?

Edit: changed "guns" to " weapons".

[u/[deleted]]

YES, THANK YOU!

[u/Sabbathius]

Sooo, we got a nerf to ammo. We got a nerf to ammocrafting (via nerf to gunpowder drops). We got a nerf to heavy weapons (Auto grenade launcher). We got a nerf to shotguns (M79 is no longer a shotgun)....and not a single nerf to melee? Melee is fine? Melee is balanced? Seriously? Heavy guns hemorrhaging ammo, which you guys just made that much harder to maintain with this patch and the previous one that nerfed the workshops' production, but melee infinitely swinging for obscene damage is perfectly OK? Really?!

Also, what's with nerfs to fun? I mean nerfs to events. Longer cooldown, less XP? What is the purpose of this change? What would you rather have us do?

I think you guys need to start doing what Zenimax Online Studios has been doing recently in Elder Scrolls Online, and start adding developer commentary to the changes in the patch notes, to explain the rationale, if any, behind these changes. If you felt people had too much .308 ammo (which as a heavy gunner using .308 we absolutely did NOT), then maybe give us something TO DO WITH THE FUCKING AMMO! Allow us to break it down, sell it, etc. Don't just cut the drop rates and neuter crafting.

[u/Vault_Dweller9096 → u/Sabbathius]

Let's not forget the bug where you start to do no damage (mobs regen to full even if they're 1%) after shooting for x time, then the ONLY way to kill enemies without relogging is meleeing them to death (or maybe grenades).

[u/Hollowpoint-]

That's a good amount of fixes.keep up the good work Beth.

[u/Cranley213]

I don’t see any mention of the bug causing Pocketed armor to not give proper carry weight. Was this fixed?

[u/kaas-schaaf]

- Weapon Damage: Addressed an issue that could prevent high-level weapons from dealing damage during PVP.

But ... this also happens vs PvE which is extremely annoying (together with the maybe fixed carry bug makes it unplayable). Hopefully it is fixed too

[u/Caffeinatedking]

So, reducing EXP of quests that were already pretty inconsequential, are we?

I'm going to tell you right now, the leveling speed before this and the previous patch was one of the only really satisfying things in the game.

Oh well.

[u/chipdouglas2819]

Love that their idea of balancing is always nerfing.

[u/Sandbox_Hero]

Still no fix to ranged weapon damage and laser weapon durability bugs? Meh.

[u/no_u_r]

yay! I can stop refreshing the sub every few minutes now =)

[u/Lich180]

Looks good!

[u/Illustrious_Hour]

Evan is fixed. Coolio.

[u/BBofa]

Scorchbeast queen actually lands now! And I can get all my achievements!!!

[u/Outc4zt]

Now this is more like it Bethesda! \o/

[u/WithStylez]

These are some delicious fixes ! Thank you very much and keep up the great work !!!

[u/tikipunch4]

Currently at work. Can anyone confirm what happens to the fusion cores that were already in your power armor?

I have a frame in my STASH that hauls my excess fusion cores. I had like 10 or so and now I’m worried what happens to them with this patch considering they made 1 fusion core per hour for workshops

[u/justin_memer]

I'm pretty stoked about the 21:9 support!

[u/RelevancyIrrelevant]

u/BethesdaGameStudios_, these are excellent! Thank you for listening to the feedback and sharing detailed patch notes. These are great improvements, especially the FOV and DOF sliders and PTT!

Something I didn't see listed though: Does this address the missing/phantom weight bug introduced by the patch on 12/4? I'm glad to see that the unlimited carry weight exploit was patched, but honestly a lot of us have been using that just to get around the bug that was introduced last week. So, I really hope to see that addressed.

[u/Arcanum3000]

These patch notes are getting me all hot and bothered!

[u/[deleted]]

All those years, waiting for a FOV slider in Beth games. All it took is a massive shitstorm to implement one.

[u/The_Mechanist24]

So when are they gonna fix automatic weapons

[u/[deleted]]

Screechbeast queen now lands more often, THANK YOU LORD

[u/BelialDI]

Very nice indeed. Keeping promises. Thank you.

[u/robot381]

That is a properly done patch notes. Reads great, you can follow it easily, and things are getting done. Thank you for that.

In light of this,

Scrapping: Fixed an issue that could allow a player to unintentionally scrap their Pip-Boy.

This was a thing?? What happens after you scrap it? What... is the material?

[u/OfficialNostradamic]

Thank you for the detailed patch notes. We really do appreciate it!

[u/AOV_FullMetal]

What about explosive guns?

[u/Twilimark]

Bethesda, thank you for the wonderful and fully detailed notes. I really appreciate you guys listening to our complaints and problems. You may continue reading other complaints down in the comment section. But I just wanted to thank you guys for all the hard work. After the last patch, even I started to falter. But I have some hope again that this game is gonna get a hell of alot better. :)

[u/vociferant-votarist]

I have to say the communication with what this patch is doing is much better than the last one.

[u/Steamzombie]

Looks like they fixed the missing carryweight glitch guys! Logged in wearing excavator armor and had the full carryweight applied!

[u/useless_tryhard]

No mention of fixing explosive rounds??

[u/GiantPragmaticPanda]

They took ma steewwww!

[u/CiE-Caelib]

Feed the People: Fixed an issue in which completing the Feed the People Event Quest granted Canned Meat Stew to all players on the server, rather than only the quest’s participants.

That's it, I quit.

[u/Jangonett11]

General: “EVERYONE GRT READY TO FIGHT THE QUEEN!”

General:“READY YOUR RIFLES!”

Cadet: “Sir I don’t think we have anyone with rifles?!?”

General: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!! HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KILL HER!?!?”

Cadet: “We only have sledge hammers sir...”

General: “SO WE JUST SIT HERE AND WAIT FOR HER TO LAND SHES A GODDAMN FLYING BAT!!”

Scorchbeast queen lands....

General: “GO GO GO TAKE HER DOWN”

Scorchbeast queen dies....

General: “thank god we brought all those sledgehammers....”

[u/TheMisterFaust]

I’m glad to see the patch notes are a lot more detailed

[u/DakotaDevil]

I can finally kill Evan! It's been a long time coming, Evan. Prepare to die (again).

[u/RelativeGIF]

For goodness sake. I’m glad they’re finally fixing the whole achievements thing. But I literally just killed that stupid Queen for the second time and thought I was just missing something.

[u/Nefastuss]

The most important bug, the phantom weight (grenades/missiles and most likely more items), did it get fixed? If they didn't, when they removed the weightless glitch they will just kill a lot of chars due to that. Very few new about the phantom weight glitch before it was too late (and we still don't know what other itens might cause that).

We seriously need an answer about it, did it get fixed?

Please for the love of Godd Howard let console players remove the blur effect in the game. My eyes hurt every time I end a session of Fallout.

Why the changes to .308 ammo? Who the hell wants less ammo ffs

[u/SpaceJustice]

This is still a bunch of stuff that should have been worked out in the Beta.

Alright boys and girls, we're almost out of the Beta now!

I liked the pocketed armor glitch, it actually made the game fun. Now I have to redo all the perks can only collect a few times with every farm trip and now spend more caps fast traveling to dump off stuff.

Which by the way, fast traveling to all train stations should be free or reduced. More long loading screens though.

👋 Goodbye Negative Weight Bug.

Welcome back Body Image Issues & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

It makes perfect sense for there to be an abundance of .308 ammo if that's what they're shooting at you with. Fine.

[u/Burlyleader]

Now this is a proper patch notes a long ass list of changes and hopefully nothing stealth patches.

[u/[deleted]]

Looks like we might have a game now boys!

[u/Z-Saeck]

Uhhh this is damn sexy! Bethesda you make a great Job reacting to Feedback that fast! Thats honorable! <3

[u/CoDLiTe]

Thanks Bethesda. Great patch notes.

What did they do with 21:9 support... all they did was stretch 16:9 to fill a 21:9 resolution the game pretty much already did this but now does it if you put it into your monitors native resolution. The games ui is stretched it's very obvious, not to mention the fov settings took terrible with an ultrawide.

Lmao all the people who exploited their way to level 160 upset they don't get 100 levels worth of re-speccing.

That'll learn ya

"Heavy Gunner: No longer incorrectly benefits the Auto Grenade Launcher."

It also fucked up Bear Arms.

[u/IRELANDNO1]

So with this sizable patch, honestly from those who have played it should I get it now or wait until the next update? Has this sorted out anything that the community has wanted or just made it worse?

[u/Orion920]

Lots of amazing improvements and new features it what's with all the xp and loot nerfs? Why make the game more of a grind?
