Read on to catch the patch notes for today’s update.

Hi everyone,

We are investigating reports of a PC-only exploit that could be abused by cheaters, which may have resulted in a few players losing items that their characters had equipped. We have been actively working toward a solution for this and have a fix that we are currently evaluating for release today.

While we’ve determined that only a small number of characters have been negatively affected, we are taking this very seriously and resolving this is currently our top priority.

We would like to apologize to those of you who were impacted by this exploit. We want to make this right, and we are currently looking into ways we may be able to compensate you. If you believe you have been affected, please let us know by submitting a ticket to our Customer Support team. ...

We are actively working to address the reload issue as soon as we possibly can. Currently, we are looking to revert the original Patch 16 change that was intended to fix the +250 Damage Resist While Reloading issue, which as some of you have already mentioned, is the source for this new bug. Today's Inside the Vault will also have information on this, and we will have more details to share on our timing for reverting the fix soon--likely today.

Thank you for your reports of reloading affecting bonuses provided by Armor. We are investigating this now, and we will let you know as soon as we have more information to share.

We are aware of reports about the issue where Turrets may attack the owner's other C.A.M.P. objects and we are investigating. Unfortunately, we were unable to get a fix in time for this patch but we plan to address it in a future update.

The issue with heavy guns failing to fire sometimes while spinning up was a fix we wanted to move out of our Wastelanders update and into Update 16, but we determined it could not be done safely. Rather than potentially create a new issue there, we kept it where it is. We're still planning to address this one in Wastelanders.

We’re releasing Update 16 today, which includes a number of limited-time holiday events and activities, and brings a number of additional improvements and bug fixes to Fallout 76. Read on for today's patch notes or catch them on Fallout.com.

Update 16 Highlights

• Holiday Scorched: Starting December 12, some of the Scorched will be spreading holiday cheer throughout Appalachia. Take them down to get a Holiday Gift, which you can unwrap to claim ...

To follow up on /u/LadyDevann’s earlier comment, the fix for the jet pack issue is part of a large list of bug fixes currently slated for release with our Wastelanders update. We know that fixing the jet pack bug is important to the community, and we are working to move the fix into our December patch instead so that it can go out sooner. We will let you know as soon as we have confirmed the timing on this one.

Hello! We have an update to share on this issue and more generally on upcoming fixes in future patches.

We’ve been working to address a large list of issues across all areas of the game in our upcoming Wastelanders update, including many of the community’s most-requested bug fixes, like the +250 DR legendary effect issue.

Right now, we’re looking to pull some of these community reported bugs, including this one, into an earlier patch. However, we need to be sure we can do this safely, without creating new issues where there weren’t any before. We know this one is a priority for the community, and we’ll share more firm details with you on timing as soon as that's locked in.

We’re releasing Update 15 today, which brings a number of improvements and bug fixes to Fallout 76. Read on to catch the patch notes for today’s update.

We’ve been seeing rumors flying around about the notion that players who report issues are banned. We want to assure you this is without a doubt NOT true. Players are absolutely encouraged to report issues, especially through a Customer Support ticket so we can better track it. Reported issues are critical in helping us find and fix the things you are seeing, whether that’s a minor bug to a problematic exploit. We are so grateful to those that take the time to point these out and let us know about them. We would NEVER ban a player for reporting issues or exploits.

There have been cases where players have used third-party software to take advantage of an exploit usually in excess of hundreds of times. In cases where this has happened, this is a violation of our Terms of Service and i...

Hi everyone,

We have been looking into recent reports from a few players who lost items from their inventories after participating in Vault 94 Missions. Following our investigation, we found that a very small number of players lost items in this way. Thank you to those who reported this to us after noticing that their character had lost items, our Customer Support team will soon be reaching out to owners of the affected characters to make things right.

Even though only a few characters were affected, we take issues like this seriously. Alongside the release of Patch 13 yesterday, we included an improvement that will mitigate this issue going forward, and we’ll continue to monitor.
