Bethesda has today revealed the brand new patch notes for the games next big update coming to the game next week.
This update should be arriving on December 4th, next Tuesday, but ahead of the update going live, we now have a clearer idea of the changes that the developers plan to make to the game.
"Our latest patch for Fallout 76 will bring an increase to maximum stash storage, additional performance and stability improvements, balance changes, and many bug fixes to the game." Bethesda explained on a new blog post.
"As mentioned in our recent Inside the Vault article, were also planning to release another patch on December 11 that will include C.A.M.P. improvements, SPECIAL respeccing, additional settings for PC, and more!"
Another piece of good news is that this new patch is expected to be approximately 3GB on consoles and just 36MB for PC. Which is a huge decrease compared to the whopping 47GB first patch for the game.
Keep reading for the full lowdown on the upcoming changes and the official patch notes.
