Fishing
To unlock fishing, you must complete the new quest "Casting Off." Your task is to catch some fish and cook up some fish bites. Fishing will be unlocked during the quest. After the quest, the new daily will also be available. Numerous new rewards await you there.
You stand by a body of water. If you now look at the water, you'll have a new option to cast your line. Hold down the fishing button and you'll be in fishing mode. Here you can change the view, change the bait, and cast your line.
There are three types of bait: Common, Improved, and Superb.
You can obtain common bait from Captain Raymond Clark and the Fisherman, as well as from new collectors in your camp.
Improved bait can be obtained from the following activities: all public events such as Encryptid, Scorched Earth (Queen), A Colossal Problem (Earle Williams), Seismic Activity (Ultacite Titan), Neurological Warfare, and also from the caravans in Milestone Zero.
Superb bait is only available during the season. It may also be available later in the Atom Shop. So be sparing with it.
There are numerous skins for fishing rods in the Atom Shop and the season, as well as various bobbers.
There are also various mods for reels, hooks, bobbers, and rods. You can use a tinker workbench to change the mods.
There are basically three different weather conditions relevant for fishing.
- Clear Sky
- Rain
- Nuke Zone / Rad Storm
You can not only use these conditions from the surroundings, but also create them yourself with a weather control station in your camp.
Depending on the weather conditions and the bait used, there are very different chances of catching rare fish or axolotls.
New Location
The new Anglers Rest location is located right next to Valley Galleria in the far east of Appalachia.
You'll find three new NPCs at this location:
Linda Lee: A giant hermit crab and pet of the "Fisherman." If you give her fish bits while she's hungry, you can receive legendary weapons, armor, and power armor as rewards (1-3 Stars).
The Fisherman: A quiet, strange "fish-man" who likes to sharpen his knives. Here you can buy common fishing bait.
Captain Raymond Clark: The old sailor is the most talkative of the three NPCs. He gives you tasks for the new quest and also provides you with the new daily. You can also buy common fishing bait from him.
Fish
There are numerous different fish you can catch. You can see the different categories in the drop chance table. Depending on the bait, location, and weather conditions, you can catch the following types of fish:
- Generic Fish
- Common Fish
- Uncommon Fish
- Glowing Fish
- Local Legends
- Axolotl
- No Fish: Junk (10% chance with Common Bait)
Important: Fish does not spoil when caught. You can display it, sell it or just keep it in your inventory.
Here's a small selection. You can see the full list in the article linked under the Axolotl section.
Axolotl
Axolotls are a rare catch in Fallout 76. Only one type of axolotl appears per month and can only be caught in specific regions. As you can see from the drop chance table, rain and super bait are the best ways to catch axolotls.
You can find a video about it here:

Changed Perks
This update brings numerous changes to the perks, especially in Perception. Essentially, all Commando and Rifleman perk cards are changing. The perks are no longer specialized for rifles, but have other advantages that can be combined in any way. At the same time, all rifles have been buffed (see section). This now enables entirely new builds and actually plays very well, as you could already test on the PTS. Here on Nuka Knights, there will also be new build guides with the new perk cards.
Here you can see a few examples of changed perk cards. A complete overview can be found in the full post.

Bully’s (4th Star)
Changed to +25% damage per crippled limb the target has
Conductor’s (4th Star)
Critical Hits Restore 10 Health & Action Points instantly and 100 more over 5 seconds for Player & Teammates Within a 100ft radius.
Added 10 instant HP and AP to the effect and increased the radius.
Now restores 100 HP and AP over 5 seconds for the player and nearby teammates (20 HP/AP per second, refreshes the duration on subsequent applications).
Dev Note: The original effect was granting more HP/AP than intended, even after our fix. After evaluating multiple playstyles, we found there was too much variance in build performance with some weapons benefiting vastly more than others. While trying to bring up the performance on the low end and maintain a strong but reasonable top end, we landed on a flat value instead of a percentage with a duration so more playstyles can benefit from this effect.
Pin Pointer’s (4th Star)
Changed to +20% Weak Spot Damage
Changed Mutations
Adrenal Reaction
Now grants +5% damage per kill (6.25% with Stranger in Numbers)
Idle:
After 10 Kills:
New Killstreak Icon (bottom right):
No more Immunity to crippling for many enemies
Some of the crippling and limb damage changed already made it to the live game in the last patch.
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.Perks

Cannery Workbench
With this workbench you can produce canned food that doesn't spoil. This will probably make it possible in the future to get by without the "Good with Salt" perk and the cryo-freezer.
Introducing the Cannery! Can your food and it'll last forever!
All canned food crafted at the workbench requires only two ingredients: the prepared food and a clean can.
Cannery Workbench

Exact HP Bar
The HP bar is now divided into five sections of 20% each, and the exact percentage is displayed to the right. This allows you to see at a glance whether certain effects or perks are currently active without having to check the Pipboy. This display was previously only available to PC players through mods. Now it's finally standard for everyone.
Option: Stimpak Priority
In the settings, you can now set the Stimpack priority. This means you can decide whether Healing Salve or Super Stimpacks are applied first when autohealing or using QuickHeal.
