Fallout 76 Addresses Year-Old Issue with Temporary Fix

Sure, let’s dive into the chaotic world of Fallout 76. And honestly, this whole Milepost Zero caravan debacle? It’s been a mess, let’s be real. Bethesda’s finally doing something—well, sort of. They’ve slapped a band-aid over this glitchy mess, trying to make it look all shiny.

So, imagine this: Brahmin caravans zig-zagging all over since Fallout 76 Season 18 kicked off in September 2024. Yeah, that’s when this all started going downhill. The poor pathfinding had these Brahmins running in circles—I kid you not. It’s like they signed up for a race but got confused and thought they were in a merry-go-round. The collisions? That’s a whole other story. It’s like watching a bad dance routine—one of those you cringe at but can’t look away from.

Anyway, or, wait—where was I going with this? Oh yeah, Bethesda’s coming around with a fix. Well, sort of. There’s this new update in testing. They’ve taken the timer down from 30 minutes to 7. Quick math—76% reduction. (Haha, see what they did there? 76.) But getting stuck isn’t as big a deal now. I mean, who wants to babysit a stuck Brahmin for half an hour, right?

And here’s the kicker—enemies vanish when caravans get stuck. Like poof, gone! Bethesda didn’t really explain why they’re tackling symptoms instead of the bug itself. Maybe it’s like when your car makes a weird noise and you just turn up the radio. Pretend it’s not there. Resources, priorities, who knows?

But hey, not all doom and gloom. This update is supposed to smooth things over, sort of. Less grindy, they say. It’s like they’re giving out party favors—more equal rewards now. Before, the caravan owner got all the goodies. Now everyone gets the same. Sharing is caring, or so they say.

So, when does all this hit the scene? The whole update has been chilling on the PTS since July 11. They’re rolling it out in the next big update—Season 22, Appalachian Modern Living. Rumor has it, September 2025 is the date to circle on your calendar.

There you have it, a peek into the wild ride of Fallout 76’s caravan chaos. Are they fixing it or just patching the cracks? Guess we’ll see.
