Fallout 76 Patch 6 Brings a Variety of Changes and Bug-Fixes
The latest Fallout 76 patch notes were recently shared online by Bethesda on the company’s official website. It details five core features as the “Patch Highlights,” with the Stash Limit first on the list. In addition, player icons will now display on the game map; “whenever you hover over a player or an owned Workshop on the Map, as well as when you view Turrets created by someone else”; additionally, a change has been made to the game’s Scorchbeasts, reducing the frequency of their sonic attacks. Finally, the key features include a change which will prevent players from becoming ‘Wanted’ when they destroy objects in another player’s C.A.M.P. or Workshop. Plus, players will now be able to contest Workshops from anywhere within the Workshop’s area.
Along with the core features, Patch 6 brings with it a lot of server maintenance. Bethesda also state that they will be carrying out server maintenance more frequently now; “You may receive an in-game message alerting you to this maintenance when it occurs,” the studio explains; “and you may be asked to join another world. This should improve the play experience for everyone during your adventures in Appalachia.”
