Now Playing: Fallout 76 Update Brings Bug Fixes And Gameplay Changes - GS News Update

In terms of bug fixes, most of the update addresses issues with combat. An issue where certain enemies were able to chase players further than intended has been fixed, as has a glitch that prevented Ghoul and Scorched Officers from dropping nuke codes upon being killed. For PvP play, you'll now see the correct cap reward whether you're seeking revenge or someone else is hunting you down. Respawning after dying in PvP play will now correctly clear your hostile status towards other players if you don't click the "Seek Revenge" option.

For the full list of changes implemented in Fallout 76's new update, check out the full patch notes on Bethesda's main website. We've also outlined them below.
