The recent release of the Fallout TV show has resulted in a huge surge in popularity for the Fallout video game series. Thousands of new fans have flocked to the Fallout games, with Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 benefitting most from the increased player counts. To coincide with the renewed interest in the game, Bethesda has released a big new update for online multiplayer game Fallout 76. The April 30 Fallout 76 update makes a ton of crucial changes and fixes, including a fix for the Opportunity Knocking mission, which was disappearing for some players. Likewise, the new update fixes issues with the Fancy Revolver, Tesla Rifles, Power Armor, the Garrahan Mining Poster and lots more.
As you can see from the patch notes below, Bethesda has also made some quality of life improvements to Fallout 76.
This includes adding a new Max option when buying from and selling to NPCs.
Elsewhere, the World Activity list now sorts alphabetically, while a new Ammo Per Shot stat has been added to weapons.
Speaking of weapons, Bethesda has fixed some of the problems with The Cremator, which was released with a bug that made it stronger than intended.
“Players who had certain perks and mods on it did much higher damage than intended,” Bethesda explains.
“We’ve fixed that bug, which has decreased the damage for that specific setup, but we made multiple tweaks and changes to buff it in different ways. Now, the Damage Over Time (DoT) should be a force to be reckoned with.”
