The Milepost Zero update for Fallout 76 is available for free to players on PlayStation, Xbox, Game Pass, and PC.
Today's download is massive in size but it's for a good reason. Thanks to various technical improvements, the final install size is smaller than what it used to be. The total size for the game should be around 95GB, but in order to achieve this you will have to redownload the entire game on each platform. You do not need to uninstall the game as each platform will handle the reinstall process automatically.
Highlights for the update beyond the new file size include improved Legendary Crafting, the ability to explore the best builds from users, a vendor history log, and the ability to start your own Caravan. There is also a huge update to combat balance as part of the new title update for Fallout 76.
The full changelog can be found at the Fallout 76 website. We've included a quick look at the highlights and a bit about the combat rebalance below as the full changelog is quite long.
Update Highlights
Milepost Zero continues the work we started in Skyline Valley to update our combat systems. This patch we are focusing on changes to Fire and Poison damage and how the damage over time (DoT) effect works. There is also more rebalancing for creatures and many other changes.
- Legendary Crafting – Craft your ideal weapons and armor with this updated take on crafting that gives you more control over the mods that are on your Legendary items.
- Best Builds – Submit, visit, and rate C.A.M.P.s from across the Wasteland for all to see!
- Vendor History Log – Returning customers are key, so find out who is buying from your vendors and make sure you give them a nice wave when you see them around Appalachia!
- Start your own Caravan – Later this month you will be able to protect your Caravan from raiders and creatures alike as you make deliveries around Skyline Valley.
