POWER ARMOR IMPROVEMENTS
We’ve reworked the underlying systems behind Power Armor to address a ton of Power Armor related bugs, improve performance, and help the entire system function more smoothly overall. While most of these are “under the hood” improvements, we believe these changes will help you have better experiences, and encounter fewer issues, while wearing your favorite set of Power Armor.
GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS FOR NEW PLAYERS
We’ve made a number of changes to the early-game to help Dwellers who are just stepping out of Vault 76 better adapt to life in the Wasteland.
- C.A.M.P. Deployment: Redeploying a camp shortly after a deployment no longer incurs a Caps penalty.
- Challenges: The rewards for many early-game Challenges have been reworked and now award items that will help a new player survive, such as Aid, Weapons, Armor, and etc., instead of Atoms.
- Diseases: Players must now be level 15 or higher to receive a disease.
NUCLEAR WINTER BALANCE
PERKS
- Frog Legs: Jumping in rapid succession now temporarily reduces maximum jump height and requires a short rest to recuperate.
- Master Perk Cards: Select Master Perk Cards have received bonus damage reductions.
- Commando Master
- Heavy Gunner Master
- Guerrilla Master
- Rifleman Master
- Shotgun Master
- Demolition Expert
- Dev Note: In general, these Perk Cards were too powerful and began to feel more like required picks than options. So, we’ve balanced them out to better reflect their cost value.
