Fallout 76 update 2.18

Just a few days ago, Bethesda released the last major update for Fallout 76 with the Burning Springs update, and this should have been a moment of gaming goodness for the player base, right? Unfortunately, that title update’s release was marred by server outages that lasted for more than 12 hours.

As an apology to the player base, Bethesda is rolling out a gift to the community, and adding an extra challenge too.
