In the latest “Inside the Vault” blog post from the studio, it was mentioned that a new title update will be released as part of today’s maintenance. There won’t be any new content but rather, the patch will focus on bug fixes and will also include the removal of the illegal weapon mod.

Once the patch is out, we’ll update this article to provide a proper link out (or you can check our FO76 game hub once it’s live). As for the schedule, expect it to last for a few hours. Unfortunately, Bethesda rarely gives any proper timeframe on these things, so we can’t say whether it’ll take more than an hour or two. We’ll be updating the article for any new developments regarding the server outages, so refresh it from time to time.
