Fallout 76 is ready for players to rebuild with the new Camp update
Bethesda have announced that the latest update for Fallout 76 has been released, which is focused on the new C.A.M.P. experience, which improves a lot, including reworking the rules around what you can build.
The focus of the update is on the overhauled building experience, so the highlights of the update are:
Relaxed Build Rules – Unleash your creativity! With relaxed building rules allowing you to build new styles of C.A.M.P.S.
Reworked Workshop UI – The Workshop UI has been revamped to make it easier for you to get to the C.A.M.P. items you’re looking for.
Item Locking – Never accidentally scrap your gear again with this highly requested feature.
Combat – Improvements to manual aiming and V.A.T.S. plus a bunch of damage and range increases.
Season 22: Appalachian Modern Living – A modern dweller needs a modern home.
Those are the highlights, the most important aspects are below, but the full update notes can be found here.
-
Items can still snap together in the way that they used to, but now items that used to require snapping are allowed to not snap. Over-snapping your walls to get wallpaper on both sides is also possible now. Walls can also be built beneath the floor, and upper floors can be attached to walls without the need for a staircase.
-
Three placement modes are available to help you place items in your C.A.M.P.:
Snap Mode (Normal) – Place items the way you’re used to.
Collision Mode – Items will not auto-snap but will consider collisions.
Free Mode – No snapping and no collisions.
-
While there are still some items that require ground placement (e.g. crops, extractors, items that require water to be placed), placement restrictions have been loosened for others. Allowing you to place them freely. Yes, this means in the air too.
-
Items that used to require a foundation to be placed no longer have that requirement. Also, when removing an item, you no longer have to worry about part of your structure being inaccessible.
-
Can now be built even if the cable intersects with another object!
-
No changes here in relation to the new build rules. You can build blueprints with intersecting, floating or unsupported objects in it.
The update is not all about building, as there are a lot of changes to the way guns work, including aiming, ammo, explosions and much more, the full patch notes can be found here.
Fallout 76 is available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
