Fallout 76 Update Addresses Game-Breaking Enemy Bug

It is no secret that any new Bethesda game is expected to have its fair share of bugs. As the developer’s notoriety for bugs has grown over the years, so too has the community’s humor in dealing with them, to the point where many players consider some bugs ‘features.’ Unfortunately, the latest bug to surface in Fallout 76 skips being inconvenient and ramps up right to game-breaking status. Thankfully, Bethesda has released a new update to resolve the issue.

The bug in question involves enemies either not taking damage, or healing their damage immediately after it is taken. Naturally, this is a problem, and as such Bethesda has released a new update addressing this bug, as well as a few others. The full patch notes can be seen below:
