UPDATE// The Hotfix will be out today at 3pm EST. Fallout 76 will be unavailable at that time.

Hi everyone,

We are aware that some issues were unintentionally introduced (and reintroduced) in Patch 5, including problems with Bulk Junk autoscrapping, Known Plan/Recipe tags in the UI, Bobby Pin weight to reverting back to 0.10 lb, and others. It appears that a merge of internal development builds failed to execute properly prior to releasing Patch 5. The team is working to identify how this happened so we can prevent this from repeating in the future.

We recognize that some of these issues, like the ones listed above, can critically affect your moment-to-moment gameplay. Because of that, we plan to issue a hotfix on these items as soon as possible. We are currently developing and testing the hotfix, and expect to deploy this update at either the end of this week or the beginning of next. As soon as we have a confirmed date, we will follow up.

Planned fixes include the following:

  • Bobby Pin weight will be reduced once again to 0.001 lb.
  • Bulk Junk will be available for crafting.
  • (Known) Plans/Recipes will no longer show up across characters.

Thank you for your continued feedback and flagging these issues as you see them.

Thank you for the update. Really appreciate it.

I serious hope it's more "the end of this week" and less "the beginning of next".

I think most people could tolerate 1-2 days. 5-6 (factoring in the weekend as well) or more is ridiculous.

I hope people are working over time and weekends to get this fixed cause introducing these problem, particularly the one re-introducing a problem, should just not have happened for a release build.

The team is actively working on it as we speak, but we want to give you as much transparency and honesty as possible regarding timeframes. As soon as we have a more concrete timeline we'll absolutely let you all know.

Okay, this is more like it. I'll be honest, half the reason I was so discouraged by this "update" was the radio silence from the Devs. Really guys, this sort of thing helps; it's a lot easier to forgive a screw up if you know it's actively being worked on, and have received an apology.

Thanks for the feedback - we're working as hard as we can to make sure there's transparency for you all.

As upset as I am with this previous patch, and admittedly I am taking a break from the game due to that, I truly appreciate u/lonevaultwanderer and all the other community managers busting their asses to get issues reported to the devs. You guys rock, keep doing what you do 👍

Giving u/lonevaultwanderer a pat on the shoulder as we speak. Thank you for your kind words and feedback - we really are listening and the dev team are working super hard.

Today alone, I have had 4 legendary mobs that I killed just despawn.

This is an example. corpse was loot able as it was falling and then poof, now its a prop in the world.

This is all within 15 minutes.

I realize now I have several others do the same, but this really caught my attention since they were legendary.

This is on PC.

Thanks for flagging, just confirming that we've passed this one on to the team.
