New Fallout 76 Update Released by Bethesda, Patch Notes Revealed
Fallout 76's latest update is rolling out now.
Bethesda has let loose a new update for Fallout 76 across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. In the wake of Prime Video's TV adaptation of Fallout going live, Fallout 76 has seen a major resurgence of players. So much so, in fact, that it's been one of the most-played games on Steam and other platforms in recent weeks. Now, to further capitalize on this success, Bethesda is releasing a new patch that should improve the core experience just a bit.
Downloadable right now, patch 1.7.11.12 for Fallout 76 is mainly meant to resolve a number of bugs that have continued to exist in the game. Bethesda has pushed out fixes not only for some specific quests, but has also rectified some tied to Power Armor and other weapons. Beyond these tweaks, the latest Fallout 76 update has only received a handful of quality of life improvements to go along with one sizable overhaul to the Cremator.
You can get a full look at the patch notes for today's Fallout 76 update attached at the bottom of the page.

QUALITY OF LIFE UPDATES

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!
