In an “Inside the Vault” post published on Jan. 1, Bethesda briefly announced some of the new features coming to Fallout 76 in 2019. We won’t know the details on these features until the full patch notes are published, but Bethesda said it aims to add player vending to the game and reveal details on a new player-versus-player mode. These sound like excellent additions to the game, except for Fallout 76’s economic crisis, which looms large over any new kind of progression.

Everything about Fallout 76’s economy has made headlines so far, from the bags shipped with the Collector’s Edition of the game, to the cost of in-game microtransactions in a $59.99 buy-to-play title. This time, the crisis brewing for Fallout 76’s economy is inside the game, and it comes from item duping and caps hoarding.
