Fallout 76 got an update this week, but it was a pretty small one in terms of what it changed. Players knew that’d be the case anyway, however, since Bethesda said as much recently, but what this update also did was usher in the start of some limited-time events players can take advantage of now. Of course, a set of patch notes was also shared to detail all the limited changes the update made.

For those who haven’t been keeping up with the Inside the Vault posts, the two events live now are the 25th Anniversary Event and the Spooky Scorched Halloween festivities. The former means players can collect free mystery items and work towards a rifle prefab while the latter means going trick-or-treating and shooting Spooky Scorched enemies. More details on those events can be found here.
As for the update itself, you can check out the patch notes for the latest release below:
