Fallout 76 Intel: Update Notes: July, 21 2026

TL;DR | Key Highlights

• Balancing & Infestations: All Fasnacht Bosses are now 3-star legendaries with increased health, legendary drop chances from non-boss enemies have been decreased, and several adjustments have been made to Infestations based on player feedback.
• Events & Activities: Fixed an issue causing Head Hunts to fail despite killing the target, ensured correct boss-tier loot for The Foreman and Corporal Jane, and greatly reduced the health of the Mirelurk Queen during the Heart of the Swamp event.
• Weapons & Pip-Boy Fixes: Weapon mods that affect base damage now correctly reflect those changes in the Pip-Boy and Examine Menu, and the LMG Critical .308 Receiver mod now properly changes ammo type to .308.
• Known Issue: Due to production difficulties, voiceover support for the Burning Springs Update is temporarily unavailable in French, and players are recommended to enable subtitles.

The latest Fallout76 update is now live across all platforms, bringing new quality-of-life improvements to Appalachia alongside a progress report on the native Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions.

Development on the native current-gen versions is actively ongoing, with preparations underway for a dedicated console testing phase for existing game owners. This upcoming milestone introduces console players to the Public Test Server (PTS) program for the first time, with all coordination and feedback taking place via the official Fallout Discord server. While a definitive release date is not yet set, developers note that once testing clears, the rollout will happen swiftly.
