Today’s update is a huge one for the builders!

A reworked Workshop UI makes finding the items you want to build faster. While relaxed build rules in Adventure mode gives everyone more freedom to create the C.A.M.P of their dreams.

We’re also nearing the end of combat rebalancing project that kicked off last year with a significant increase to melee weapon damage, boosts to damage-over-time effects, improving the feel of manual aiming, and some changes to VATs that make the experiences more reliable.

There’s a lot to dig into so go ahead and get started!

• Relaxed Build Rules – Unleash your creativity! With relaxed building rules allowing you to build new styles of C.A.M.P.S.

• Reworked Workshop UI – The Workshop UI has been revamped to make it easier for you to get to the C.A.M.P. items you’re looking for.

• Item Locking – Never accidentally scrap your gear again with this highly requested feature.

• Combat – Improvements to manual aiming and V.A.T.S. plus a bunch of damage and range increases.

• Season 22: Appalachian Modern Living – A modern dweller needs a modern home.

• PC (Steam): 9.9 GB

For those of you who like to build C.A.M.P.S. in Fallout Worlds, you already know the benefits that relaxed build rules provides. Let’s go over some of the more common situations where you’ll experience these relaxed build rules and talk about how they’ll change what you’ll be able to do!

Snapping Items

Items can still snap together in the way that they used to, but now items that used to require snapping are allowed to not snap. Over-snapping your walls to get wallpaper on both sides is also possible now. Walls can also be built beneath the floor, and upper floors can be attached to walls without the need for a staircase.

Placement Mode Toggles

Three placement modes are available to help you place items in your C.A.M.P.:

• Snap Mode (Normal) – Place items the way you’re used to.

• Collision Mode – Items will not auto-snap but will consider collisions.

• Free Mode – No snapping and no collisions.

Placement Restrictions

While there are still some items that require ground placement (e.g. crops, extractors, items that require water to be placed), placement restrictions have been loosened for others. Allowing you to place them freely. Yes, this means in the air too.

Foundations

Items that used to require a foundation to be placed no longer have that requirement. Also, when removing an item, you no longer have to worry about part of your structure being inaccessible.

Power Cables

Can now be built even if the cable intersects with another object!

Blueprints

No changes here in relation to the new build rules. You can build blueprints with intersecting, floating or unsupported objects in it.

Coming along in this update is a complete rework of the Workshop menu! With a refreshed focus on findability and organization, this new UI should make it a lot easier for you to get to the items you need. We’ve been testing this internally and are excited for you to get your hands on it.

New Main and Subcategories

One of the first things you’ll notice (other than the new UI), is the consolidated main categories and new subcategories which will host all your Workshop items. We believe that this new categorization will allow you to get to what you’re looking for a lot quicker than before.

The categories are:

• Quests

  • Objectives (This category only appears when a quest is active and will disappear after the quest is completed.

• Recent

  • Quickly find your last used items.

Modify Menu

The Modify Menu is your main tool for customizing your C.A.M.P. This feature has received a major facelift. Now giving you more direct access to crucial editing features.

• Edit Mode:

  • Pick up and move items

  • Scrap or store things you've already built

• Wallpapers:

  • Add wallpaper to give your C.A.M.P. a fresh style

  • Remove wallpaper if you want to go back to basics

• Locks:

  • Doors

  • Generators

  • Resource collectors

  • This helps prevent other players from taking your things.

• Blueprints:

  • Save your creations

  • Place them again later, even if you move your C.A.M.P.

• Replace:

  • Swap out placed items without needing to scrap and rebuild!

Miscellaneous Notes

We wanted to list out some neat features that we think builders will appreciate that don’t necessarily require a whole section to themselves.

• Build/Modify Mode: On keyboards you can change modes by pressing Q. On a controller you can click the Left Stick.

• New Navigation Option: Use Shift + WSAD to move around menus faster. On controller the left and right bumpers allow you to quickly navigate the categories.

• You can filter by Buildable, Unlockable, and Known items.

• Social Menu is blocked while in Workshop menus giving you more space to work with.

  • Quest Markers and Team List are also hidden while building.

• The menu will remember which mode you were in when you re-enter it.

• In the Options Menu, you can minimize or maximize the Variants panel as well as expand the info card.

We're restructuring the objectives in Caravans to ensure players will get their rewards if the Brahmin is left alive, even if they are unable to complete the route. The event will now take a maximum of 7 minutes to complete.

Caravans will now reward all players with the same number of Supplies, regardless of who started the event.

Say NO to accidental scrapping because you can now protect your favorite items by locking them!

Lock your weapons, lock your armor, lock your Power Armor. Heck, you can even lock your meds too!

This new feature will prevent locked items from being sold, scrapped, traded, and even dropped. Item Locking has been a long-requested quality-of-life request from many in the community. We’re really excited about bringing this feature to you.

Add or remove a lock anywhere you can interact with items including:

• Pip-Boy

• Stash

  • Including looking at your stash through the My C.A.M.P. device.

• Workbench

• Ammo Box

• Player to player trading

• NPC vendors

• Vending machines

• Allies

• Display cases

• Corpses and loot bags

A Few Notes: Locking an item will not prevent loss of junk on death or prevent items from being used as a material for crafting (cooking etc.). Also, by default, locking consumables will prevent their use. You may adjust this in your settings.

We’ve made strong strides towards making sure Fallout 76 is more accessible to more players. If you would like a look at all the accessibility features offered at the time of this update you can find that listed out here. \[Link to Article]

Mischief Night returns on October 7! Prepare to head over to Rapidan Camp in Skyline Valley to enjoy this refreshed take on a fun and chaotic event.

Thanks to community feedback we've decided to flip the Press (currently set to Ping in the live game) and Press and Hold (currently set to bring up the Emote wheel in the live game) command for Ping and Emote. With this update, when playing with a controller, Ping can be activated by Pressing and Holding the Down D-Pad button. Emote is now set to Press on the Down D-Pad button.

---

In the Gone Fission release notes, we shared an update on how we felt the combat rebalancing project we kicked off during Skyline Valley was going. We mentioned that we’ve seen a significant improvement in the variety of ranged weapons being used, fewer difficulty spikes in the early to mid-game experience, and increased build diversity amongst the player base.

Today’s update continues this process with a focus on:

• Improving the manual aiming experience.

• Improvements to the V.A.T.S. formula.

• Providing significant buffs to melee and ranged weapon damage.

• Boosts to damage-over-time effects.

• Increases to weapon ranges.

There’s a lot to dig into. If you’re interested, head over to our Fallout 76: C.A.M.P. Revamp Combat Release Notes article for all the nitty and gritty details.

We’re going to keep things high-level here.

Manual Aim Improvements

We’ve made changes to all ranged weapons to improve players’ ability to hit targets outside of VATS.

These changes vary by weapon and include:

• Smaller cone of fire.

• Reduced recoil.

• Additional shots can be fired before reaching peak recoil.

• Cone of fire now increases less as a result of moving.

• Reduced cone of fire while crouching/sneaking.

• Reduced cone of fire while aiming down sights.

• Spin-up weapons such as the Minigun and Gatling Laser now have reduced recoil after firing for a short period of time.

• Reduced camera movement for many weapons’ actions in First Person view.

  • This includes firing, reloading, and post-fire actions such as bolt-action animations.

• Medium and long scopes have additional zoom levels. Press the VATS button to toggler between 2 or 3 zoom levels, depending on the scope.

V.A.T.S.

The formula for calculating hit chances in VATS has been rewritten to be more consistent and intuitive. Overall, hit chances with most weapons will be higher. Distant, smaller, and more difficult enemies will sometimes be harder to hit.

Here’s a basic overview of how it works:

• The formula begins with an assumption of max hit chance (95%).

• Various factors reduce your hit chance, such as distance to the target, visibility of the target, difficulty of hitting each of the target’s body parts, your weapon’s range, cone of fire, recoil, fire rate, etc.

  • Perks, weapon mods, etc. can improve each of these factors or directly increase your hit chance.

  • Perception reduces some of the penalties of a large cone of fire and long distance to the target relative to your weapon’s maximum range.

• Beyond about half of a weapon’s range, hit chance steadily decreases to 0%.

• Below about half of a weapon’s range, penalties to hit chance are reduced. As you close in on point blank range, hit chance will increase until you have a very high chance of hitting the target.

Weapon Mods

The vast majority of melee and ranged weapon mods have been updated to have more consistent and intuitive effects, and to offer additional choices for a variety of play styles.

There are far too many changes to list (well over 1,000 mods updated), so instead here’s some highlights for common mods.

Stub Barrels

Stub barrels now make a weapon easier to use while moving at short range.

Medium & Long Barrels

While the longer range for Medium and Long barrels makes it easier to hit targets both in manual aim and VATS and preserve more of your damage when firing at distant targets, they’re now a bit more difficult to use on the go.

Weapon Scopes & Sights

• Glow sights now increase VATS accuracy and reduce a weapon’s AP cost by 20%.

• Front sight rings now make a weapon more precise while aiming and reduce the weapon’s maximum cone of fire.

Muzzle Mods

• Compensators now reduce a weapon’s initial recoil and greatly increase the amount of shots that can be fired before reaching maximum recoil.

• Muzzle Brakes reduce a weapon’s minimum and maximum recoil and reduce the amount of lateral movement from recoil.

• Along with reducing the volume of each shot and slightly reducing recoil, Suppressors now grant a 50% bonus to sneak attack damage.

Bleed, Fire, and Poison Mods

Changes have been made to Fire and Poison mods to offer better damage over time. We’ve also made changes to some of these mods to convert more of their original damage to Fire or Poison.

Mods that add blades to weapons now more consistently have a Bleed (physical) damage over time effect. The damage from this effect has been greatly increased.

Receiver Mods

Mods which change the ammo type of a weapon have been modified to better reflect the increase or decrease in ammo strength. Stronger ammo will typically have higher AP costs, lower durability, and be harder to control in manual aim. Weaker ammo will typically have lower AP costs and be easier to control and maintain. Now the choice of which ammo to use on a weapon is more about whether you want a more comfortable, lower-maintenance experience with a weaker ammo type – or instead push the weapon further with stronger ammo at the cost of increased difficulty of use and more expensive maintenance.

Similar to ammo type conversion mods which use a stronger ammo type, Hardened receivers now have additional recoil and higher AP costs. Critical receivers now also increase a weapon’s AP cost.

Stocks and Bayonets

Paired with the damage increases on the weapons themselves, switching from a Grip to a Stock or adding a Bayonet (or both!) will greatly improve Bash Damage.

Prime Receivers

Prime Receivers went through a lot of changes during the Public Test Server. We wanted to outline where we landed for these mods.

Prime Receivers provide the following in addition to their increased damage to Scorched enemies:

• +35% bonus damage

• 20% longer range

• +15% AP cost

• +30% Weight

• +50 Value

• Higher recoil and maximum cone of fire.

• 10% slower rate of fire.

Semi-Automatic to Automatic Weapon Mods

In addition to the earlier Base Damage, Sneak Damage, and VATS Critical Attack damage changes from the Gone Fission update, Automatic mods for Semi-Automatic weapons also have the following changes (relative to the un-modded weapon):

• 50% higher ammo capacity.

• 17.5% reduced range.

• 7.5% increased weight.

• 7.5% reduced durability.

• 30% increased value.

• 10% reduction to reload speed

• Higher maximum recoil and cone of fire.

Adjustments to Hardened Receivers:

Note: This does not apply to Hardened receivers and similar mods on weapons which are automatic by default (.50 Cal Machine Gun Heavy Barrel, etc.)

• Bonus Damage: +25% -> +35%

• Recoil: +10% -> +15%

• AP Cost: +10% -> +15%

• Weight: +25% -> +30%

• Durability: -7% -> -12.5%

• Value: +35% -> +40%

**Plasma Gun, Enclave Plasma Gun, and Gatling Plasma Splitter mod changes: **

• Base Damage: Now +40%

• Removed 25% additive damage bonus

• Fire Rate: Now -35%

• Range: Set to 59 -> Reduce by 35%

• Durability: -7.5% -> -15%

• Fire Rate: Now -35% Adjustments to Cone of Fire, Recoil, etc. now are relative to the weapon's base properties rather than set to specific values regardless of weapon.

**Laser Gun and Ultracite Laser Gun Splitter mod changes: **

• Base Damage: Now +40%

• Removed +50% additive damage bonus

**Laser Gun and Ultracite Laser Gun Sniper mod changes: **

• Base Damage: +25% -> +35%

• Fire Rate: Now -40%

• AP Cost: +35% -> +55%

**Plasma Gun and Enclave Plasma Gun Sniper mod changes: **

• Base Damage: Now +35%

• Removed +100% additive damage bonus

• AP Cost: +35% -> +55%

This is all we’re going to cover here, but the Fallout 76: C.A.M.P. Revamp Combat Notes article has a LOT more detail. So please check that article out for more information.

In this update, we are finishing up our re-balancing of weapon Perks which include the heavy, melee, thrown, and bow weapons.

At a high level, then Perk changes touch:

• Heavy Gunner Perks are being replaced with Perks that focus on spending ammo to gain bonuses along with a highly requested Perk to decrease the spin up time on weapons.

• Melee Perks are moving away from 1-hand and 2-hand designations and instead these Perks will lean into more general properties of melee weapons, such as bleed and power attacks.

• Bow Perks will be benefiting thrown melee as well as the bow weapons with new ways to take down groups of enemies.

We are also standardizing Perks and Mods that grant the ability to automatically revive. Perks with these effects now bypass going into the downed state, have a 100% chance to occur, have a cooldown, and require the use of a healing item such as a Stimpak.

Starting July 29, players can find the Master of Ceremonies waiting for them at the top of every hour in Helvetia. This spiffed-up Mr. Handy robot is your ticket to kicking off the Fasnacht celebration, tasking you with recruiting five festive Protectrons for the Fasnacht parade!

You’ll need to complete a task for each Protectron, from collecting wood for the bonfire to putting up decorations, before they’ll join the parade – an event that also needs protecting from any nasty little critters that may interfere (and occasionally, not-so-little creatures like a Super Mutant Behemoth!) The more parading Protectrons you and your crew keep functioning, the more successful the Fasnacht celebration and the better your rewards will be!

Complete Fasnacht events to earn rewards such as unique plans and recipes, as well as wearable Fasnacht Masks – including designs from past Fasnacht events, plus some brand-new ones!

Put on your most comfortable outfit and drop your C.A.M.P. next to some serene water. You’ve got some fishing to do.

The irradiated Appalachian waters now play host to a variety of different fish of different rarities.

Remember. Anywhere you can swim, you can fish.

---

• Casting Off – Make your way over to The Mire to start your fishing adventure!
  
• Mystery of the Axolotol – Every month an axolotl will be available to catch in two zones around Appalachia.
  
• Local Legends – Big game awaits! Haul them in and show them off in your C.A.M.P.
  
• Season 21: Gone Fission – A brand new season with rewards that are fishtacular.

---

Head over to Fisherman’s Rest, a new location in the Mire where you’ll begin your fishing journey. Here you will meet a new trio of new characters. The disoriented Captain Raymond Clark, a mysterious new figure who goes by the name The Fisherman, and Linda-Lee, the Fisherman’s adorable pet hermit crab.

During the “Casting Off” questline you’ll receive a working Fishing Rod - allowing you to walk up to any body of water and start fishing. When deciding where you can fish, remember the mantra: “If you can swim in it, you can fish in it.”

Do note that the Fishing Rod won’t appear in your Pip-Boy menu as it’s not an item you need to equip. When you’re standing next to and looking at a body of water, the “Fish” command will appear on your screen. The Fishing Rod will show up in your Tinkers Workbench menu so you can modify it though.


You can find the pieces needed to upgrade your fishing rod by completing the new fishing challenges and daily fishing quests. These will reward you with rod styles, bobbers, and linear reels to fine tune your fishing experience and help you catch the mysterious creatures living in the irradiated waters of the wasteland.

It’s important to know that some fish will be near impossible to catch until you upgrade your fishing rod, so get out there and complete those fishing challenges!


You can have the best-looking fishing rod in Appalachia, but it won’t help you catch any fish if you’re not using bait.

There are three types of bait to gather, and each one increases your chances of enticing rarer fish to bite down on your hook.

Common Bait

Gives you the chance to catch generic fish, scrapable junk, and common regional fish.
Common Bait is purchasable from The Fisherman and Captain Raymond Clark in Fisherman’s Rest. You also have a chance to receive this bait after completing the daily fishing quest.

Improved Bait

This bait gives you an increased chance of catching uncommon fish. While it’s not purchasable from any vendor, you can trade Improved Bait with other players. You can also get more from the daily fishing quest, public events, and finding it in lootable containers around the world.

Superb Bait

Earnable as rewards in Season 21, this bait gives you the best chance to catch very rare fish.

Weather

Weather also influences your odds of catching specific types of fish. Naturally occurring weather, as well as modified weather from a Weather Control Station in your C.A.M.P. will affect the type of fish that bite down on your hook.

Clear Weather:

Best suited for catching common fish that can be found in any region.

Rainy Weather:

Rainy weather has an increased chance of catching region-specific fish, as well as the elusive Axolotls.

Radstorm/Nuke Weather:

Radstorms and weather caused by nukes increase the chance of catching Glowing Fish.
We’ll leave it to you all to figure out which combination of bait and weather will give you the highest chance of helping you find the fish you want.


Now that you’ve captured a few fish, what can you do with them?

Of course, you can eat them directly out of your inventory to restore some Hunger and Health. The larger the fish, the more you’ll regain.

You can also turn fish into...

Fish Bits

When you obtain a fish by fishing or trading with players, you immediately learn the recipe to convert that fish into Fish Bits at a Cooking Station. Fish Bits can restore small amounts of Hunger/Health on their own, but that’s not the best way to utilize this new material.

When at a cooking station, you’ll notice a new food recipe. The Grilled Fish recipe becomes available after completing the main fishing questline. When eaten it provides you with an effect that reduces the time to hook a fish for 20 minutes, which is perfect because you’re about to do a whole lot of fishing.

Completing fishing daily quests will give you the chance to earn other food recipes that utilize Fish Bits such as Fish and Tatos and Fish Chowder.

There’s one other location where you can use Fish Bits. If you feed Linda-Lee Fish Bits she’ll give you a random Legendary item- just don’t ask where it came from.


With the addition of fishing there is now a lot of aquatic life for you to find.
Common fish can be found across the map, but there are a ton of region-specific fish to discover along with their glowing variants.

There are also 12 adorable Axolotls to find. One of these glorious amphibians will be available for you to catch every month throughout the year. Keep an eye on our social channels for hints on where they’re located every month.

Lastly, Local Legends. These are the fish you’ll be bragging about catching. That’s all we’ll say about them for now.


Completing fishing challenges and dailies will reward you with new C.A.M.P. items along with upgrades for your fishing rod. One of these items is a curved fish display so you can show off that rare local legend or Axolotl you were able to catch!




Speaking of flaunting. Season 21 brings a whole suite of new fishing-themed rewards for you to unlock.

Watch the trailer above and then head over to our Season 21: Gone Fission article for more information.

Starting today, unused Season Tickets will be turned into Gold Bullion when the next season starts. This retroactively applies to your unused tickets from the previous three seasons.

When you log in after today’s update, you’ll be greeted with a message asking you to confirm the transfer of Gold Bullion to your character inventory. If you’re not sure you have the space, deny the transfer and check your character. The next time you launch the game you’ll be greeted with the same message.


Last year we kicked off our long-term combat rebalancing project with the Skyline Valley update.
We started this work wanting to make sure:

• combat felt interesting and engaging.
  
• most/if not all weapons felt satisfying to use.
  
• all builds and weapons should have a reasonable amount of viability.
  
• manual aim should be satisfying and effective while still allowing VATS to perform well in specialized builds.
  
• majority of players should have an opportunity to participate in group content.
  
  • reduce the need for “tag the mob” play styles.

With the changes made so far, we’ve seen significant improvement in the variety of ranged weapons being used. There are also fewer difficulty spikes in early to mid-game locations which makes the leveling experience smoother for our newer players. Build diversity has also increased as we see people exploring the new opportunities that the Perk card changes have provided.

While we've already made significant progress, the next few updates will include a few larger and more impactful changes and represent the culmination of much of the balancing work we've done. This gives us a solid new foundation for the future content we have planned.

After these updates, we plan on slowing down to let things settle and evaluate how things shake out.

We are making changes to the way that enemy limbs are affected by various effects. The mods, perks, and weapons mentioned below previously had a chance to instantly cripple a target, but now they deal a percentage increase to the amount of limb damage dealt.

We expect that these changes will make most enemies easier to cripple while making limb damage more consistent and predictable. It will also result in making crippling enemies like Region Bosses more difficult, requiring more focused fire.

These changes will also allow us to remove cripple immunity from many creatures and leverage limb and crippling in more engaging ways moving forward.

Spring has sprung in Appalachia and that means verdant, rolling hills, warm sunshine and, best of all, flowers! Spring also means pollen, allergies and pollinators.

Starting today, May 6, and running until May 20, The Big Bloom is a new seasonal event inspired by the beauty of Springtime.

There is no more avid a floral arranger than Black-Eyed Susan, a polite, older woman who is spending her retirement in Skyline Valley. Unfortunately for Susan, the meadow where she picks the flowers for her arrangements has a thorny problem: “Plant Monsters,” as she calls them.

The Overgrown have overtaken Susan’s meadow, and since you’re out enjoying the sunshine, Susan’s going to make it your problem too. But she’s no pushover, Black-Eyed Susan is armed, dangerous and has your back.

At the top of every hour, head to Susan’s favorite meadow in Skyline Valley. There, help her pick some flowers and deal with the Overgrown. Although, you’ll want to mind your step. Your next one could be your last. Susan’s favorite meadow also happens to be chock full of buried landmines.

Other dangers in the meadow are the pollinators of those flowers you’re picking: the bees! There’s one buzzing devil in particular who makes all other Appalachian bees look like ants. Or just normal-sized bees. Don’t get stung.



Completing The Big Bloom will net you experience, caps, Legendary Weapons and recipes for springtime-inspired outfits and C.A.M.P items.

The first time you complete The Big Bloom, you will be rewarded with a recipe book, from which you can learn flower crown crafting recipes. Flower crowns are a new headwear introduced with The Big Bloom that you can craft from three base flowers: Carnal Weepers, Radlilies and Crystalcups.

Combining two base flowers crafts a hybrid flower which you will need for more advanced flower crowns, like the Starlace Flower Crown, pictured below.

In addition, you can display all your flowers inside new glazed flowerpots in your C.A.M.P. Running short on flowers? You can even harvest more flowers from some C.A.M.P. items, such as the Pot o' Radlily. Certain outfits, like the Flower Suit and Flower-Printed Sundress, require hybrid flowers to craft.
