The Fallout 76 Break-it-Early-Test-Application (B.E.T.A.) has been going as expected: Pretty well with some bugs added to the mix. One such issue even deleted the entire game from players’ machines, which prompted Bethesda to extend the testing phase on one of the days. That said, there is one final push in the beta, and the developer has implemented quite the hefty patch to address many concerns from fans.

Before the final two B.E.T.A. sessions for Fallout 76, Bethesda brought in a 30 GB patch to tackle some of the bugs that have been popping up, and we’re not talking about all of the critters roaming the wasteland. Stability improvements and balance changes have been introduced as well as many bug fixes. Check out everything that’s new below:

GENERAL

• Stability: The Fallout 76 game client and servers have received significant stability improvements.
• Performance: Several issues have been addressed to resolve hitches during gameplay and other performance issues.

BALANCE CHANGES

Many mid and high-level enemies have received additional balance adjustments. Some notable changes include:

• Scorched: Health and Damage Resistance have been increased for mid- and high-level Scorched.
• Super Mutants: Health and Damage Resistance have been slightly decreased for mid- and high-level Super Mutants.
• Melee Damage: Melee damage has been increased across many mid- and high-level enemies, particularly Mirelurks and Mirelurk Hunters.

C.A.M.P., WORKSHOPS, AND CRAFTING

• Crafting: Material requirements to craft Throwing Knives and Tomahawks have been increased. Additionally, Throwing Knives and Tomahawks can no longer be sold to vendors.

QUESTS

• Event Quests: The time required to restart a previously completed Event Quest has been increased from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 12 minutes.

BUG FIXES
