Patch notes for today's Fallout 76 Hotfix

by: Dan -
More On: Fallout 76

 

It has been on the schedule for a few weeks now as part of the roadmap for updating Fallout 76, but after a one-day delay we finally have the latest update.  Bethesda posted the Hotfix notes a little bit ago, and as expected, it was primarily an under-the-hood update and very minor one at that.

With the Korean language support going on Consoles yesterday, it was added to PC today along with two bug fixes for PC, a duplicate item exploit being shut down and correcting an issue with high-damage weapons not doing any...damage.  So with the Holidays approaching, this was a small targeted patch and will be the last until 2019 unless something become completely broken over the next few weeks.  Check out the patch details after the jump or on the official site.

[UPDATE: DAN]  Maintenance is completed and servers back online.
