Jaret Burkett, who most Fallout 76 players know as the creator of Map 76, also took it upon himself to test exploits and report them to Bethesda to be fixed. One exploit that many players have discovered allowed them to tweak The Purveyor vendor’s currency to use regular bottle caps in order to acquire Legendary items. Burkett picked up on this problem due to lower level players having items they probably should have had at that point.

Naturally, this hasn’t sat well with the community and Bethesda has once again on the defensive. Earlier this week, a Community Representative took to the forums to explain that the company does not ban users for reporting glitches or exploits. The post goes on to condemn those who actively work with third party tools, which is odd considering that testers also use these tools to help the game. The responses to this post have not gone over well with many citing Jaret Burkett’s current situation.
This situation isn’t likely to get resolved any time soon, though it can be argued that Bethesda is in desperate need of a win. Ealier this month ZeniMax, Bethesda’s parent company, added fuel to the fire by admitting to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission that it misled customers regarding refunds from the period of November 24, 2018 through June 1, 2019. The company will be reaching out to those that contacted them for a refund within those dates.
Fallout 76 is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
