Fallout 76 patch notes for version 1.7.11.12 (April 30, 2024)

The Fallout 76 patch notes for today's (April 30, 2024) update went live recently, listing all the bug fixes and changes in update 1.7.11.12. The sizeable update surprisingly doesn't bring any new content to the game, instead focusing on fixes and a handful of quality-of-life changes.

While most bug fixes listed on today's Fallout 76 patch notes are miscellaneous, one particular point of interest is The Cremator. Players will find this explosive weapon weaker than it used to be, as some unintentional and buggy interactions with specific explosive-related perk cards have been fixed now.

The quality-of-life changes in Fallout 76 update 1.7.11.12 include a new "maximum" option when bartering goods in high quantities, and a new "ammo per shot" stat on weapon to accurately represent ammo economy.

Here are the official patch notes for today's Fallout 76 update (version 1.7.11.12).

Weapons

Made several adjustments to the Cremator and its mods.

A developer note addressing this specific change says:

"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
