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....

Fans will likely never know exactly what happened with the development of Fallout 76, since the process and climates for AAA games is often a closely guarded secret that gets influenced by dozens of outside sources.

The installation process is also rather straightforward, with players needing to make a backup of the original SeventySix - Startup....

The incident took place among multiple characters on a Fallout 76 server. According to one of the victims, AJ, who initially reported the incident online, a player by the name of NathanTheHicc approached AJ’s group to ask for a Disease Cure item. After the group offered a compliment that either NathanTheHicc’s character or outfit was “cute,” NathanTheHicc responded with an anti-gay slur and left the area. Just ten minutes later, AJ explains that NathanTheHicc returned in a group, spouting off more homophobic slurs in the area chat, claiming that his group was coming to “decontaminate the AIDS,” among other inflammatory things....

For those who still haven’t played Fallout 76, or hasn’t been able to log in for a while, the December 11 update introduced significant changes in the game that include C.A.M.P. construction and placement improvements, Push-to-Talk hotkey for voice chat, and 21:9 Resolution support on the PC.

Take modder Urania, for example. Recently, they released an add-on for Fallout 4 that aims to overhaul one major, though somewhat lacking, feature of the game. Called “Stealth and Detection System,” this mod does exactly what it says on the tin. It makes some adjustments to the game’s more stealthy aspects. Essentially, it works by changing the way enemies can detect a player who is trying to be sneaky. Now, instead of every single raider knowing exactly where the vault dweller is, even if they haven’t seen them, the mod makes it possible for players to take out enemies without alerting others....

One Fallout 4 fan has answered that question, creating a parody of “Hello” within the context of the game’s story.

The video is embedded below, but be warned that it does contain some spoilers for Fallout 4’s story....

As seen below in the YouTuber tomatoanus’ video, the speedrunner manages to complete all of the aforementioned games in an incredibly fast time of 1 hour, 37 minutes, and 54 seconds, which would likely take months, if not years of playtime for those who are simply playing through the titles without the intention of beating them as rapidly as possible. This run in particular, though, sees the player taking on each game consecutively from Interplay Entertainment’s Fallout to Bethesda’s Fallout 4 with no breaks, earning them the number one spot in the Fallout Anthology speedrun....

The U.K. government declared a bank holiday on Monday, September 19, to mark the queen’s funeral.
