If there's one thing that Fallout 76 players have been clamoring for, it's a proper update that can chip away at the game's numerous bugs. Bethesda is on the scene, and the Fallout 76 December 4 update should soon be on its way to platforms all across the globe. The update version 1.0.2.0 is landing on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One with several major tweaks and changes, including a host of fixes for bugs, glitches, and other noteworthy issues.
Fallout 76 December patch notes - update version 1.0.2.0
The December 4 update for Fallout 76 introduces a lot of fixes for problems ranging from inconsequential to devastating. Of note, the team at Bethesda has patched an issue where high framerates lead to increased movememnt speed, and severs now feature several stability improvements. Check on the full list of general fixes provided through the Bethesda blog below, and look for the list of big fixes further down the page.
General fixes:
Performance: PC framerates are once again uncapped. However, reaching very high framerates will no longer cause movement speed to increase. This was originally fixed in the November 19 patch.
Stability: The Fallout 76 game client and servers have received additional stability improvements.
Stash: Maximum stash storage has been increased by 50%, to 600 pounds. This is a conservative adjustment, and we plan to increase the storage cap further in the future once we’ve verified this change does not impact the stability of the game.
Enemies: XP rewards for killing high-level creatures have been reduced.
Bosses: Fixed an issue affecting instanced Boss loot. Players should now correctly receive 2-4 items per boss, depending on the creature’s difficulty and level.
Weapons: Automatic weapon damage has been increased by approximately 20% across the board.
Weapon Effects: Hitting another player with a Cryolator now applies a Chilled, Frosted, or Frozen status based on how many times they are hit. The duration of movement speed reductions applied by these effects have been significantly decreased.
