New Weapons and Bug Fixes in Fallout 76

Patch
Quick Take6 changes

The April 12, 2022 Fallout 76 update is a bug-fix patch covering weapons, C.A.M.P. building, combat systems, and the user interface.

  • Fixed: Thorn Armor's bleed effect was stacking unintentionally; it now deals five times its previous damage to compensate.
  • Fixed: Multiple VATS issues, including a black screen during third-person melee and two client crashes tied to rapid scrapping near the build budget cap.
  • Fixed: Two exploits allowing cheaters to place NPCs in the world and weapons to deal inflated damage; a third exploit let players farm magazines from the same location.
  • Fixed: Missile Launchers now take condition damage and are no longer unbreakable; Alien Blaster projectiles now correctly impact terrain.
  • Fixed: Photomode Dr. Zorbo poses restored, pose list sync corrected, and console Scoreboard Atom balance now updates immediately after purchases.
  • Updated: "Complete Different Daily Quests" World Challenge requirement reduced from 23 to 22.
