C.A.M.P., crafting, and workshops

Floors: Corrected an issue that caused basic floor objects to consume more C.A.M.P. budget than intended.

Please Note: If you already own the Oval Holiday String Lights, you will now be able to build both the wall and ceiling mounted versions. Players who unlock this item in the Atomic Shop in the future will also be able to build both versions.Misc.: The Scorchbeast Heart Specimen Capsule’s collision no longer persists in the world after the Capsule has been destroyed.Stairs: Addressed an issue that could prevent NPCs from going up or down the Nuka-Cola Metal Stairs.

Items

The Dragon: Applying the Nighthawk skin to The Dragon now correctly renames the weapon to The Nighthawk.Fallout 76 will also be coming to Steam on April 7 when the Wastelanders expansion launches. The game famously bypassed Steam when it released in October 2018, instead opting to launch through Bethesda's own launcher.

　　Wastelanders itself will launch on all platforms as a free update for everybody. The major content expansion finally adds fully-voiced NPCs to the multiplayer-focused RPG, and includes a brand-new main mission campaign to take on, either alone or with other players. Wastelanders also sees you meet and interact with competing factions, with your choices determining who ends up on top.
