Fallout 76 had an unexpectedly peaceful New Year’s Day when players discovered the first major bug of 2019: nuke codes were broken. Survivors searching for nuke codes in the wasteland on January 1 discovered they hadn’t been reset, giving the post-apocalyptic West Virginia a respite from the nuclear attacks.
Disabling nukes as a sort of New Year’s armistice sounds like a nice way to kick off 2019, but this wasn’t a planned event or a surprise from Bethesda. It’s just another unanticipated issue. Very much a regular day in Fallout 76, then.
Bethesda confirmed it wasn’t a scheduled event on Twitter yesterday, but there’s been no official update since. A community manager did say that a hotfix should be expected today, however.
