The official patch notes aren’t out yet, but here are the weapon improvements included in today’s title update per Bethesda:
What does this mean for my weapons?
For a great majority of our player base, you will not notice any changes to your weapons. This system will detect weapon mod attachments placed on weapons that they don’t naturally belong to and cannot be obtained through gameplay. In addition to this, weapons with mods that we have removed from the drop pool previously in balance adjustments will also be impacted. This includes weapons such as Stalkers Shovel’s and Explosive Energy Weapons.
This implementation is to ensure that all players have the same advantages as you, whether this be in Events, Daily Op’s, Scorched Earth and more. All players must adhere to the EULA rules and regulations, and the terms of our TOS.
Weapon Improvements
Additionally, we’re making a few changes to existing weapons. A few of these changes being:
- Assault Rifles will now correctly have the Rifle classification regardless of how it is modded.
- Explosive bullets now only apply to bullets. (Railway Spikes excluded.)
- Handy Buzz Blade’s will have greatly reduced VATS AP consumption.
- Radium Rifles will have an increased rate to learn mods when scrapping.
- Gunpowder is now categorized as junk/scrap.
Once the full patch notes are out, we’ll update the article.
