Fallout 76's duped-weapon purge looks like a good results!

For any alter, items look to become seeking up in Appalachia. Fallout 76's managers completed their purge of duplicated things today, and also the initial neighborhood reaction is very good that Bethesda Game Studios' actions worked as intended. There's also news of some unrelated quality-of-life fixes coming with the next patch early subsequent week.

1st, the purge: This afternoon a Bethesda community manager explained what had happened immediately after Fallout 76's servers were brought Fallout 76 Bottle Caps on-line. Bethesda went immediately after "a list of more than 400 weapon and armor items we identified as prevalent duplication targets." Any one with multiples of these items now have only one, no matter if they obtained them by exploit or one more player.

Energy Armor was not subject towards the de-duping passover (but; developers are looking at a different purge to address these dupes later). But if a player had various copies of certain items, Bethesda went back into their inventories to look for "very massive amounts of Nuka-Cola," and zapped those also.

Item duplication has been exploited virtually since the game's launch. Though Bethesda has tried to curb it with weight limits, weapon nerfs and also other spot options, not until these days had developers attempted the straight removal of duplicated products, several of which had been incredibly high-powered weapons that threatened the fairness of Fallout 76's opt-in PvP program.

Bethesda's neighborhood manager noted that, within the investigation major as much as the purge, "we determined that much less than 1 percent of all Fallout 76 accounts combined across all three platforms needed to possess duped items removed." When the 1 percent who did have copious amounts of valuable and powerful stuff still had an outsize influence on the game's balance and economy, dupers themselves seemed to be a distinctly smaller and outcast minority.

Patch 6 would be the last patch prior to a series of weekly updates that Bethesda Game Studios is calling "Wild Appalachia," which will roll out about the time the tougher PvP Survival mode is introduced towards the game. That's slotted to get Fallout 76 Caps a March rollout however the date could change. At any price, "Wild Appalachia" are going to be the first massive content material drop of 2019, supplying new quests and events at the same time as new CAMP items and crafting recipes.
