There's so much Fallout going on right now that it almost feels like we should be talking about a brand-new entry in the franchise, but nevertheless, Bethesda's existing releases are still being patched and updated in 2024. We just got our first taste of new-gen Fallout 4 with its 'next-gen' update, and now Fallout 76 has just gotten its first update since the TV show arrived as well.
Admittedly, this update for 76 isn't quite as interesting as what's going with Fallout 4, but alas, we thought we'd bring you the news as we know that lots of new and returning players are currently jumping into Bethesda's live service Fallout game!
Anyway, here are the full 1.7.11.12 patch notes for Fallout 76:

WEAPONS
- Made several adjustments to the Cremator and its mods
- Dev Note: The Cremator released with a bug that made it stronger than we intended it to be due to the way damage was calculated with its explosion. Players who had certain perks and mods on it did much higher damage than intended. We’ve fixed that bug, which has decreased the damage for that specific setup, but we made multiple tweaks and changes to buff it in different ways. Now, the Damage Over Time (DoT) should be a force to be reckoned with
SEASONAL EVENTS
- Recipes and some items dropped by these events will continue to drop after you have learned them. These items are now also tradeable to help you get all the plans you want!
