Update Version 1.7.14.15 & Sizes
Fallout 76’s overall file size is getting smaller! Thanks to the work of our tech team, we now expect the total size of Fallout 76 to be around 95 GB (with some variance for the different platforms).
To reach this new size, all players will have to redownload the game. This is why you may notice that update size for Milepost Zero is larger than normal. Thanks in advance for your patience!
Please Note: You do not need to uninstall the game to receive the Milepost Zero patch. You will notice a large update that you will have to download. The platform you're playing on will do the rest.
Check the download sizes below for today’s update on your platform of choice:
PC (Steam): 82.07 GB
PC (Microsoft Store): 96.53 GB
Xbox: 96.6 GB
PlayStation: 92.67 GB
Legendary Crafting
We are excited to introduce this new iteration of Legendary Crafting that gives you more direct control over the Legendary Mods that appear on your Legendary items.
Before you can start swapping Legendary Mods onto your gear, you will need to obtain the mod you want to craft in one of two ways:
Trading for the mod with another player;
Scrapping Legendary items with your desired mod on it.
Every time you scrap a Legendary item you will get Legendary Scrip and have a chance at receiving Legendary Mods in the form of a crafting item. There is also a chance that you will permanently learn how to craft one of the mods on the item you scrapped too. Those loose Legendary Mods can be traded with other players, but once you craft that mod onto an item that item becomes character bound. Meaning it cannot be traded, sold, nor dropped in the world.
Once you obtain your desired mod, you can head over to your Armor or Weapons workbench to attach it to a legendary item in exchange for Legendary Scrip. Each time you replace a mod on an item, the cost to replace another will increase.
If you are lucky enough to learn how to craft the mod, head over to your Tinker’s workbench to craft it. The crafting cost will vary depending on the mod. Mods require Legendary Modules and various other items to craft that you can find around the Wasteland.
To aid in the exploration of new mod combinations, we have relaxed the Legendary Mod restrictions on weapons. We are excited to see what you craft!
Legendary Cores Discontinued
In August, we announced that Legendary Cores will be discontinued as we consolidated the currencies used in Legendary Crafting. This means Legendary Cores will no longer be usable across Appalachia. When you login after downloading the patch, any remaining Legendary Cores will be converted into Legendary Scrip at a 1:1 conversion ratio.
Best Builds
Best Builds is a new social system that allows you to submit, visit, and rate C.A.M.P.s. The C.A.M.P.s with the most votes will be shared and populated though out wasteland for all players in Adventure Mode to see. You will be able to visit these amazing creations and enjoy the comforts, design, and unique tastes the builder has in store for its visitors. While visiting, if you happen to appreciate the builders C.A.M.P., you can show your support by leaving a 'Like'. We hope this allows our dedicated player builders an opportunity to show off their creations as well as inspire other players to create and submit their own Best Builds.
Submitting Your Camp
Once you have a C.A.M.P. that you would like to show off to the wasteland, you can submit your C.A.M.P. though the Best Builds Submission option. This is found by opening the 'C.A.M.P. Slots' list on the Paper Map and selecting the C.A.M.P. you wish to submit. Once you have entered the submission window, you will be able to take a few photos and tag your C.A.M.P. with the appropriate identifiers, to help make it stand out from the crowd. Once you are happy with how your C.A.M.P. is represented, you can submit your Best Build. The Best Build will be added to list of other players created Best Builds.
If you happen to make changes to your Best Build, you can easily resubmit the newly remodeled C.A.M.P. without losing any Likes previously earned. You can resubmit you Best Build by going to the 'Manage Best Builds' option also found activated 'C.A.M.P. Slots' list on the paper map.
Visit
Upon your travels in the wasteland, you will notice a few new locations with a blue ribbon on the paper map and on the compass. These are player created Best Builds. You will be able to fast travel to these C.A.M.P.s the same as you would any other C.A.M.P. While visiting, please take time to sit down, relax, and enjoy the experience the builder has instore for you. Do not delay on checking out a C.A.M.P. that piques your interest. Best Builds rotate in and out every hour.
Rate
If you happen to find a Best Builds that you fancy, feel free to show your support to the builder by giving them a Like. You can 'Like' a Best Build by going to the Best Build icon on the paper map and selecting 'Like'. Giving the builder a Like will help show other players that this C.A.M.P. is indeed a Best Build.
Vendor History Log
Learn about the hottest items at your C.A.M.P. Vendor with the Vendor History Log. Accessible from the Paper Map or your vendor, this log shows you what items were sold, their price, and who bought it.
The Vendor History log only stores transactions that happen during your current play session. After your session ends the log will be cleared so you receive a fresh log when you start playing again.
“A Bump in the Road” - Arriving Later this Month!
Near the border of Skyline Valley, you will come across the ruins of an abandoned headquarters once owned by the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. They have had a challenging time operating within the presence of the storm, but luckily for them you arrive! A seasoned traveler of the region, well-versed in all forms of combat and even a few forms of diplomacy (although that will not work here). The company decides to give you franchising rights to start your own caravan branch under their flag.
Once setup, you will escort caravans across the Shenandoah region and recruit a strong crew of varying professions. This crew will help you build up your own personal outpost where new rewards await you.
While you are traveling across Skyline Valley make sure you take a beat to help your fellow aspiring business dwellers with their own caravans. Events Public Team bonuses apply to Caravan events and helping someone else will get you back to starting your own caravans that much quicker.

Combat Rebalance
Milepost Zero continues the work we started in Skyline Valley to update our combat systems. This patch we are focusing on changes to Fire and Poison damage and how the damage over time (DoT) effect works. There is also more rebalancing for creatures and many other changes.
There is a lot to dig into, so grab a cup of coffee or tea and dig in.
Player Weapons
Fire/Poison Weapons and Mods
Fire and Poison damage will typically include a DoT effect, with Fire damage trending towards shorter durations and higher Damage Per Second (DPS), with Poison trending towards longer durations and higher overall damage.
The following weapons, armor, and mods have been updated to align with this Fire and Poison Dot adjustment. Paired with the creature adjustments further below, this generally represents an increase in damage dealt:
Increased the damage for Floater Freezer Grenades.
Reduced the Damage over Time for the Cremator’s burn to account for it now scaling with weapon damage bonuses. (More info in the “Bug Fixes & Improvements” section below)
Reduced the self-damage dealt to the player when firing the Kabloom at close range.
Reduced the recoil and base AP cost for the Railway Rifle.
Reduced the fire rate and removed the AP cost reduction for the Railway Rifle Automatic Piston Receiver.
Headhunter Scythe’s damage type has been changed to Bleed.
Adjusted the damage dealt by Electrified legendary armor.
Creature Balance
Like the adjustments made in the Skyline Valley update, the following creatures have updated Health, Resistances, and Damage. Our goal is to smooth out their difficulty from low to high level play making them a reasonable threat for all players.
Be sure to try some of the updated Fire and Poison weapons against these creatures as there is now more contrast in their resistances to each damage type:
Alien
Alien Invader
Attack Dog
Bee Swarm
Bloatfly
Deathclaw
Eyebot
Fog Crawler
Honeybeast
Mega Sloth
Radrat
Robobrain
Scorchbeast
Snallygaster
Stingwing
Tick
Vicious Dog
Wolf
Yao Guai
Creature Weapons
Weapons used by the following creatures have also been updated. Like the updates to Fire and Poison damage on players’ weapons, creature weapons with Fire damage will typically have a DoT which has higher DPS, and weapons with Poison damage will typically have a DoT which deals more overall damage per hit:
Angler: Spit Attack
Assaultron: Shishkebab
Blood Eagle: Flamer
Competitor Blazer: Flamer
Cultist: Flamer
Fanatic Warden: Flamer
Fanatic: Shishkebab
Floater Flamer Fireball
Floater Flamer Flamethrower
Floater Gnasher Bite
Harvestron (Test Your Metal): Flamer
Juchi Batsuuri: Flamer
Mirelurk Hunter: Spit Attack
Mirelurk King Melee Attack
Municipal Auditor: Flamer
Scorched Exterminator: Plasma Launcher
Sentry Bot: Flamer
Showman: Flamer
Trog Superior: Acid Reflux
Wendigo Colossus/Earle: Poison Spit
Perk Changes
Vaccinated: Increases Disease Resistance from all sources, based on your END stat.
Thirst Quencher: Increases Action Points while not diseased, based on your END stat.
Iron Stomach: Increases Damage Reduction while not diseased, based on your END stat.
Natural Resistance: Increases your Energy, Fire, Cryo, and Poison Resistances while not diseased, based on your END stat.
Region Bosses
The following creatures have had an adjustment to how incoming damage is reduced. This primarily affects cases where V.A.T.S. Critical Attacks and Damage over Time effects would bypass a portion of the intended damage reduction.
Scorchbeast Queen
Wendigo Colossus and Earle
Ultracite Titan
