October, 2024. The servers go down, an update gets injected into our gaming systems like a strain of the FEV virus. Will we gain some sort of mutation that will benefit us or will we go absolutely feral in the process of a better future? While most tackled the task of herding Brahmin that developed the idea of “walking in a circle”, Blue Ridge company was heavily underpaying their guards and dwellers still have no idea on how to properly use their Stone Ovens. Seriously, how have they not fixed this yet? What kind of scary “bug stuff” are we in for this spooky season?

Minigun goes brrrrrrrr. The people got a tad excited about this one, veterans cringed reading about it. Ever heard the infamous minigun shooting off in the distance that just never seems to run out of ammunition? Well supposedly it’s now fixed! For the 5th time… Actually it wasn’t fixed, from the reports, it seems like it got worse. Have you experienced the phantom super mutant still sprayin’ and prayin’ from the after life since today’s update?

Spooky loot disappears if disconnected. Multiple reports of locals getting disconnected mid season, only to rejoin and find all their valuable spooky rewards that they previously earned prior to the disconnection have essentially disappeared. This includes legendary items, plans and other goodies. It might be safer to put that loot into your stash to avoid this bug. The loot goblins are back at it again!

Inventory sort feature is broken. Again.. Deja Vu like I’ve been here before. The sort feature within the Pipboys is broken once again. Everyone remembers this one from the Holiday Scorched event 2 months ago. Now it’s made a comeback during the Spooky Scorched event. Coincidence? Is the Scorched plague is behind this bug? Is the Institute infecting our Pipboys with Viruses during events? We may need to look into these rumors further…

Who’s that over there? I can’t see their name! Well looks like player names have simply vanished for some people. Reports of folk going to public events and just traveling through the wasteland only to find out they can no longer see other player names. This can turn into a pain as you may not realize other locals are at an event and simply leave or you may have someone standing right behind you sniffing your hair. Fantastic, the local dwellers are now turning into NPC’s.

Cement Truck has left for the day. Multiple reports of locals have misplaced their cement trucks. Some that have purchased the cement truck can’t place that damn thing at their camp because it’s nonexistent in the build menu, but it’s not just them, it seems like those who also own the cement trucks can’t place them either. How are people going to get their precious concrete now!? We’re pretty sure we said something about Deja Vu earlier… weird..

No Score points for you! Many locals have stated they have not been earning Score points after completing various tasks today. This is a major issue! Especially if you’ve completed one of those juicy weekly tasks. We need a fix ASAP!

VATS is broken. Again… Yup, you heard that right. From shotguns to carbines and even some melee weapons. VATS is back to being busted for a handful of weapons, some may even be your favorite weapons. It might be safe to put those poor weapons into storage until this bug is eventually resolved… Just when you thought VATS got fixed..

Settings sent back to default. Some locals have stated their ingame settings have reverted back to its original state as if the game is brand new. Not a major bug but could be a solution for some that may be experiencing some issues in regards to controller sensitivity, keyboard binds not working, screen shake enabled, depth of field and many other adjusted settings. Just when we finally hit that sweet spot of adjusting our settings to perfection, they go and hit the factory reset. Magnificent.




Skyline Valley weather machine, Pitch black edition. Locals have been asking for darker nights like the good old days, however not being able to see what’s directly in front of you may result in injuries. The Skyline Valley weather machine appears to be bugged and makes your camp darker than 76 in 2018. Which brings us to the next topic.

Visual glitches give day one players flashbacks. From the dark depths of being indoors in the Skyline Valley region on a cloudy day, to an almost unbearable sun glare, the visual side of the game seems to be busted. Most locals have stated the weather seems to be off, visually their eye sights have gone blurry and shelters have started to tear apart worse than before. Seems like the Institute needs to start selling some special glasses for the local residents. We wanted darker nights, but I don’t think not being able to see right in front of you was what we wanted. Terrific stuff.

Caravans are still calling it quits despite fixes. Well this is rather silly, seems like caravans are still broken. Multiple reports are stating that there’s even new bugs and stoppages during the event. From complete freezes, walking in circles and just doing a grand tour of the Skyline Valley seems like the usual standard for this mess. The patch notes must’ve been talking about a future update..

Snow-globes are still broken. Seems to be an ongoing issue. Locals are still receiving Snow-globes despite already having them. And some are stating that aren’t getting the ones they need. Others have said this is due to specific characters not having a dialogue that triggers the reward. Should be an easy fix right? Maybe another day.

Power Armor HUD causes crashes underwater. This one pretty much explains itself, don’t go under water while inside the tin can. Copy?

Invincible and invisible enemies make another comeback. Just like during the Scorched Holiday event 2 months ago, we’re now facing the same issues once again in the form of immortal scorched enemies. One resident was also attacked by an invisible Molerat earlier today. If you come across an invincible creature, please retreat and do not engage!

Spawn rates of enemies during events are bugged. Again.. Well it seems like this bug has made a comeback also since it was featured during the Holiday Scorched event. The spawn rates are down, which means specific public events are failing due to not enough kills. Some locals stating that the enemies are spawning in walls/underground or aren’t spawning at all. There’s that Deja Vu feeling again..

Playstation users get the boot, again.. Multiple reports of PlayStation users are once again suffering crashes, freezes and infinite loading screens once again. Unfortunately this seems like it’s back to the original state it was last month.

The most terrible expedition. Yup, The Most Sensational Game is still broken. We’re honestly thinking this will never get fixed anytime soon.

Locals take up pitchforks due to ongoing nerfs. Once again, history repeats itself with these unnecessary nerfs but here we are. This time it seems like the Institute decided to target residents magazine collections. Let’s hope they don’t come after Newsletters next…

Broadsider is still broken. No word on when this will be fixed. I think we’re all getting rather tired of waiting for this one to get fixed.

We here at Wasteland Weekly did not expect to update so soon after the initial post but it seems like the dumpster is engulfed in flames. We shall continue to look into future reports and keep ya’ll posted!

Happy hunting!
