March 17, 2026

Our latest update for Fallout 76 brings improvements to Appalachia.

 

Hey Vault Dwellers,

Today we’re releasing an update to address some of the emergent topics brought up by the community after the release of The Backwoods update.

---

Gameplay

• Fixed an issue where the Chainsaw Flamer would hit its target too fast resulting in more damage than intended being delt.
• Fixed an issue where reflected damage could kill the Scorchbeast Queen in one hit.

Pip-Boy

• Fixed an issue that prevented players from using shortcuts to increase the quantity of items they want to drop.
• Fixed an issue that prevented players from closing the Pip-Boy with the expected “B” key bind.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the scrolling feature from going back to the top of the list after reaching the bottom.
• Fixed an issue that caused the inventory sorting feature to revert to default after exiting the Pip-Boy.
• Fixed an issue where deployed Power Armor could be put into the stash by using the “New” Pip-Boy tab.
• Fixed an issue where item stats were missing from the “Item” tab.

UI

• Changed the Open Season Menu key bind on PC from “CTRL” to “Y”.
• Adjusted the naming of several mutation effects that were confusingly worded.

Miscellaneous

• Fixed an issue that caused Emotes, Loot Bags, and Survival Tents to be unequipped whenever the game is launched.
• Players will no longer receive frequent “Waiting for response from server” messages when there are no server issues.
• Fixed an issue which prevented players from extracting DNA from the Scorchbeast Queen during the “Heart of the Enemy” daily mission.
• Fixed instances where the game could crash while scrapping legendary items or while in a Workbench.
• Fixed an issue where replica Pip-Boy's did not show when placed in the Pip-Boy Display.
