Fallout 4 is turning 10! Well. Let’s not dwell on the finite resource that is time, but instead reflect on how great of a game Fallout 4 is. Sure, there are some rough edges still to critique, but its spacious world, interesting story beats, and surprisingly accurate gunplay made for a memorable RPG. And let’s not forget the GOAT himself, Dogmeat. But heads up: if you’re running any mods on your existing copy of Fallout 4, you might want to disable them ahead of an update the developer is pushing out next week. Perhaps more importantly, the update is bringing with it some gameplay tweaks that should make the game’s VATS system a bit more consistent and honest.
If you own the original Fallout 4, you can expect a patch arriving in a few days that adds the “Creations Menu” as well as a few gameplay tweaks. Most importantly, however, Bethesda is asking folks to “disable any mods which change the main menu,” as they might break once the patch arrives. You can expect this patch to land on November 10, the tenth anniversary of the game’s release.
When the update arrives, you can also expect some minor adjustments to your Vault 111 escapee’s aim. VATS, the game’s aiming system which slows down time and shows your percentage hit chances on specific enemy body parts, will be “consistent across platforms and [will] no longer drop to 0-percent or show incorrect values.”
In addition, the update will address a host of issues and include proper ultrawide and super ultrawide support, so you can explore the Commonwealth with all of your peripheral vision.
