Not only has this game seen some large changes with this update, but there have also been a handful of smaller bug fixes and balance changes that should improve the game’s overall performance. Over the past few years,Fallout 76has seen some major alterations which have made the game almost unrecognizable when compared to its launch back in 2018.
1Purchase Bobbleheads
Visit Guiseppe For Bobbleheads
Collecting Bobbleheadshas been a part of theFalloutuniverse for a long time. Unlike previousFalloutgames, the effects granted by consuming Bobbleheads are temporary. Before this update, players needed to either purchase Bobbleheads from other players or find them out in the world.
But now, players canvisit Guiseppe and purchase up to six Mystery Bobblehead Boxes each day. This is great for those who find themselves constantly searching for Bobbleheads. This will also help to bring down the inflated price of certain Bobbleheads like Leader Bobbleheads.
2Vendor History Log
Find Out Who Bought What
Before this update, players would only get a small notification anytime somebody purchased something from their C.A.M.P. Vendor.Now players can keep track of what has been sold on any given serverwith this new feature.
This will help players to keep tabs on their best-selling items. It is worth noting that each time the player hops to a new server, the vendor history log is wiped clean. So, it’s important to check this log before leaving a server if the player wants to keep track of their sold items to helpmaximize the amount of Cap they make.
3No More Legendary Cores
Legendary Cores Have Been Removed
Due to the changes to how legendary items are crafted, there is no longer a need for Legendary Cores inFallout 76.This update has removed any Legendary Cores that the player has in their inventory. However, every legendary Core that the player has in their inventory on the day of this update will be converted into Legendary Scrip.For each Legendary Core the player has, they will receive one Legendary Scrip.While it’s not a lot, it is definitely better than nothing.
4A Change To Legendary Crafting
A Controversial Change
Legendary Crafting has remained largely unchanged for a long time. But now, the way that players craft legendary items has changed in a big way. Players can now scrap legendary items for a chance to learn one of its legendary effects. Players can also trade with other players for any desired mods.
Theselegendarymods can then be attached to a piece of armor or weapon of the player’s choosing.Doing this will cost Legendary Modules. However, upon attaching a specific effect to an item, it becomes attached to the player and can’t be dropped, sold, or traded.
5Best Builds
A Chance For Builders to Show Off
There are lots of skilled builders inFallout 76.Players spend lots of time building big and elaborate bases for other players to visit and enjoy. Best Builds isa new system that allows players to submit their C.A.M.P.s for other players to visit and rate.
Not only is this great for those who want to show off their creative builds, but it’s also good for those who are looking for some inspiration tobuild their own cool C.A.M.P.This feature will help bring players closer together.
6Creature Balances
Enemies Now Pose A Real Threat
After reaching a certain point in the game, most of the creatures that the player will come across don’t pose much of a threat. Even tanky enemies like Fog Crawlers and Yao Guai don’t offer much of a challenge to high-level players.
This update has tweaked various enemies. According to thepatch notes, this was done to “smooth out their difficulty from low to high-level play, making them a reasonable threat for all players.“Making the game more balanced for everyonewill help prevent high-level players from dominating events and killing creatures before low-level players have the chance to fire off a single shot.
7Perk Changes
Previously Useless Perks Cards Now Serve A Purpose
There are a handful of perks inFallout 76that are just plain pointless. Perks like Natural Resistance and Vaccinated don’t really do anything useful for players. However, that’s now changed. Some of the most redundant perks in the game have been changed to make them more useful.
The cards that have been changed used to be centered around disease resistance.Getting a disease isn’t really a big deal as it can be cured quickly and easily. Even if the player chooses not to cure their disease, most of the negative effects that come with being diseased aren’t that bad. The perks that have been changed can be seen in the table below:
Natural Resistance
