Fallout 76 Down on February 9 to Apply an Update

Not able to enter the Wasteland in Fallout 76? If so, it’s not just you, as Bethesda has taken the game’s servers down on February 9 on all platforms.

This is an hours-long maintenance period where gamers won’t be able to connect online or even check their base. There is an update rolling out that requires a download.

Read on for more details on the game’s downtime and what’s included in the update.

Fallout 76 Servers Down on a Monday, February 9

Bethesda has confirmed the downtime starts at 10 am ET/7 am PT/11 am HKT. While no specific schedule has been given, the downtime for the game usually lasts for 3-5 hours, which means we can expect the game’s servers to be up at 1 pm ET the soonest (give or take).

While the patch notes aren’t available yet, Bethesda has said that there is an update set for release on February 11, which will address the following:

• Build Menu appearing empty due to a skin applied to the C.A.M.P. Module.
• The “New” category of the Pip-Boy acting erratically.
• Grunt and Head Hunts only providing 1-Star enemies.
• C.A.M.P. items that were purchased with Gold Bullion not appearing.
• Cryo Status effects and damage not applying to enemies.

Given the timing, chances are, the February 11 update is the one we’re about to download and install today. Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll provide a link to it within this article.

If anything changes regarding the downtime, or if it gets extended, we’ll be sure to update the article with more info.
