Fallout 76 has been having a bit of a moment of late. Following the release of Amazon's hit TV adaptation, the MMO's player numbers have surged, with Bethesda recently announcing that over one million of us were all making our way around the Appalachia wasteland in a single day.

Now, following this fresh influx of players, the studio has released a rather hefty patch for Fallout 76 that takes aim at bugs, quality of life improvements and more.

First up, the file sizes for this Fallout 76 update are relatively substantial, so make sure you have all the space you need. They are as follows:
  • PC (Steam): 12.1 GB
  • PC (Microsoft Store): 19.8 GB
  • Xbox: 23.1 GB
  • PlayStation: 19.2 GB
And, now, on to what this update actually sorts.

On the bug fix front, Bethesda has made sure that the Garrahan Mining Poster is now present at both the Rusty Pick and Camden Park. It has also sorted an issue during the Sins of the Father quest, where the quest itself could be blocked if players exited the dialogue scene between Abbie and Antonio at a specific point. Also within this same quest, the team has addressed an issue which could prevent Antonio from actually speaking to the player, which I can imagine being very frustrating.
Looking at the latest Quality of Life adjustments for Fallout 76, players will now see a 'Max' option when buying from and selling to NPCs with this update in force. The studio has also added an 'Ammo Per Shot' stat for weapons.
That is by far from all that has been sorted, however, so please find the full Fallout 76 patch notes from Bethesda below:

  • Fixed an issue where Small Presents were not dropping contextual ammo
  • Fixed weather stations not being able to be placed in a camp workshop located very close to a public workshop.
  • Fixed modern home kitchen sink not being able to snap to other modern home items on a foundation

  • Lights now function properly on the Devils Wings Jetpack
  • Pollinators no longer receive the Group Heal Regeneration effect in Daily Ops
  • Fixed several paints that were no longer updating the dynamic name of modified Power Armor pieces.
  • Speculative fix for items in the Cryo-freezer randomly selling for 0 caps in the vendor.
  • Big Boss Advertisement Poster no longer turns into a Mothman poster when broken.
  • Fire Rate now shows increase/decrease arrows when comparing potential mods to what players have currently equipped.
  • Story Time now properly removes itself from the PipBoy if you kill Miss Nanny.
  • Fixed an issue with Buried Treasure not properly completing.
  • Players are no longer blocked from completing Honor Bound if they exit the conversation with Vin and Gene.
  • Scrolling the mouse-wheel down now properly shrinks selected body parts in the character generator.

Quality of Life Updates

  • Added a Max option when buying from and selling to NPCs
  • World Activity list now sorts alphabetically
  • Improved behaviour of the inventory scrollbar
  • Added a new "Ammo Per Shot" stat entry to weapons

Weapons

  • Made several adjustments to the Cremator and its mods
Dev Note: The Cremator released with a bug that made it stronger than we intended it to be due to the way damage was calculated with its explosion. Players who had certain perks and mods on it did much higher damage than intended. 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.

Seasonal Events

  • Recipes and some items dropped by these events will continue to drop after you have learned them. These items are now also tradeable to help you get all the plans you want!

Earlier this week, Bethesda's own Todd Howard shared a few titbits on the Fallout series, including the importance of its Americana setting.
"Part of the Fallout schtick is on the Americana naïveté," he explained, before adding: "For us right now it's ok to acknowledge some of those other areas but our plans are to predominantly keep it in the US."

Meanwhile, on the newly-minted TV side of the franchise, Amazon's Fallout was officially announced to be getting a second season earlier this month, with Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy - who executive produce the show via Kilter Films - saying they "can't wait to blow up the world all over again".

If you are already itching to know more, Fallout's showrunners recently gave us all the briefest of teasers for what's coming in season two.
 
Ai esta Bethesda a tentar ter sucesso no fallout76, eu diria "de arrasto" com a serie TV.
sucesso? o sucesso é claro no trabalho feito no projeto pós lançamento e o fato de ter a base saudável desde lá.
o reconhecimento? esse sim é mérito na série como complemente de marketing para os produtos, esses que não teriam estes MAUs (ou DAUs) contínuos e sustido se não tivessem esta quladidade no produto, comparativamente com o lançamento.
