Fallout 76 Is Down and Offline on April 22

Update: The complete patch notes for today’s update is now available and it’s a big one!

Bethesda’s announcement confirmed that a server outage will take place today, April 22, during which a new patch will be released. The servers are expected to be affected from 10 am ET/7 am PT/10 pm HKT and should last for at least 2-4 hours, depending on Bethesda’s needs.

As for the update, while the patch notes aren’t out yet, a Bethesda rep has confirmed it is a smaller patch aimed more at bug fixes than anything else.
“About a month from every patch we typically have an update which includes bug fixes and more. This is one of those updates,” the rep shared on the game’s subreddit.

Once the patch notes are out, we’ll update the article to provide a link to the article housing it. If anything changes regarding the maintenance, or it gets extended, we’ll be sure to let our readers know as well.

The latest patch released at the start of April housed the following fixes:

• Fixed situations where Rad Specialist caused other perks to unequip.
• The Catalyst questline no longer enters a state where it becomes incompletable.
• Players no longer get stuck as a human when completing “A Fresh Pair of Genes” Ghoul questline.
• Addressed an issue with Daily Ops which caused them to not rotate as expected.

While we expect a bigger list of fixes in today’s patch, don’t expect anything close to the Ghoul Within update in terms of bug fixes and improvements.
