In a comedy of errors, a Fallout 76 “hotfix” patch meant to re-fix points that Bethesda beforehand fastened then unintentionally undid has seemingly launched an entire new nasty downside. Something went awry in the course of the growth of this week’s Patch 5, which means not all modifications from Patch four carried over so all of the sudden lockpicking bobby pins had been heavy once more, amongst different points.
