Bethesda details Fallout 76’s next two patches

It’s an understatement to say that Fallout 76 released in a poor state on PC, shipping without support for ultra-wide resolutions, in-game physics which were tied to the game’s framerate and no FOV options. 

Over time things have improved for Fallout 76, as Bethesda continues to squash bugs and enhance the game’s online elements, though a lot of work still needs to be done to bring the game in line with other AAA experiences. 

Over the next two weeks, Bethesda plans to work on two new updates for the game, with release dates of December 4th and December 11th respectively, both of which will address contentious aspects of the game and add new features to the game. 

On December 4th, Fallout 76 will have its stash limit increased from 400 to 600 (potentially more if servers remain stable), better boss loot, better Cryolator effects when used against players, improved respawning for overencumbered players and a fix for the “stuck in power armor” bug.  

On December 11th, PC gamers will finally receive Push-to-Talk settings, 21:9 resolutions support and FOV (Field of View) adjustment options, all of which were requested during the B.E.T.A. After level 50, players will also be able to respec their character by moving SPECIAL points to other locations and allow players to move to a server where their C.A.M.P placement is available. A new “Bulldozer” options will also be available to remove small trees, rocks and other obstructions, which will make C.A.M.P building easier.
