Bethesda is working to “address some of the topics that appeared” after the Fallout 76 update released earlier this week.
The update was supposed to address a number of issues across quests, localisation, armour, and more. However, the team has already had to disable the Weekly Raid Challenge due to reports that “the challenge was automatically completing, which resulted in rewards not being obtainable”.
The developer says it is now “looking into” your reports and is using community feedback to identify a list of topics that “we plan to address in an update that is currently planned for release during the first week of February”.
Here’s the full list of changes known so far:
- Build Menu appearing empty due to a skin applied to the C.A.M.P. Module.
- The “New” category of the Pip-Boy acting erratically.
- Grunt and Head Hunts only providing 1-Star enemies.
- C.A.M.P. items that were purchased with Gold Bullion not appearing
- Cryo Status effects and damage not applying to enemies.
We’re continuing to investigate reports on other topics such as, Armor resistances not applying unless re-equipped and players feeling “squishier” when fighting enemies in the Burring Springs region.
There were a couple of changes that went undocumented in our release notes on Tuesday. We wanted to highlight these changes to make sure everyone knows that they were intended.
- New 4-Star Legendary Mod “Charged” has been added to items awarded in the Gleaming Depths raid.
- This Melee only mod charges up the weapon with primary attacks. You can release this explosive charge with a power attack.
- Dom Pedro has received two new mods. Reflex Sight and a Long Barrel mod. These mods are available for all owners of the weapon.
- Known Issue: The Weekly Raid Challenge has been temporarily disabled due to reports that the challenge was automatically completing which resulted in rewards not being obtainable.
Beyond that mention of the first week of February, as yet there’s no firm commitment to a release date.
As Victoria reminded us in the week, the Fallout games are seeing resurgence of late, thanks to the season two debut of Amazon’s Fallout TV series. Picking up after the events of season one, we have all been reunited with Lucy, The Ghoul and Maximus, as they continue to make their way through the post-apocalyptic wasteland, with varying degrees of success.
Along with returning faces like Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins, Macaulay Culkin and Kumail Nanjiani have also joined the show for season two. Filming for the third season of Fallout is expected to begin this May.
