For a change, things seem to be looking up in Appalachia. Fallout 76’s managers completed their purge of duplicated items today, and the initial community reaction is very positive that Bethesda Game Studios’ actions worked as intended. There’s also news of some unrelated quality-of-life fixes coming with the next patch early next week.

First, the purge: This afternoon a Bethesda community manager explained what had happened after Fallout 76’s servers were brought online. Bethesda went after “a list of over 400 weapon and armor items we identified as common duplication targets.” Anyone with multiples of these items now have only one, whether they obtained them by exploit or another player.
