BETHESDA have spoken more on the new Fallout 4 DLC content planned as fans discovered a new way to get rich quick in the wastelands

 

UPDATE ONE: As Bethesda focus on their plans to deliver the future content updates to Fallout 4, performance analysis is still being done to gather more information on the current state of the game on Xbox One and PS4.

A new performance review has been conducted by NX Gamer, apparently showing that the Xbox One version of the game is more stable frame rate wise then its PS4 counterpart, although both are noted as running at an adequate level.

The PS4 version of Fallout 4 was seen to drop 141 frames in its first contact performance test, while the Xbox One version dropped 41 in comparison.

Entering sector points results in frame drops on both consoles, as well as auto-saving. Where it differs most is when firing your weapon on the PS4, yotime u reportedly drop a frame, possibly connected with how the game was developed first on the Xbox One, although none of this has been confirmed by Bethesda.

A further more in-depth analysis has been promised to fully explore performance in the future, while it will be interesting to see how Bethesda will look to improve on Fallout 4 through planned updates.

 



Fallout 4 will be updated with new content in 2016



Game director Todd Howard has revealed that multiple Fallout 4 DLC packs are set to land in 2016 and will likely include a high number as they will continue to launch well into the year.

Fallout 3 included five DLC packs that saw fans fight in a pre-war simulation, discover a new Raider city, explore a murky swampland along the coast of Maryland and finally be launched into space.

Bethesda confirmed earlier this year that they planned to support the game post launch with new content and various game updates.

Howard explained more this week on how those new packs will be shaped, revealing that the Bethesda team will be looking at fan feedback for inspiration.

"What they bring to it is important, and then we're going to see what people like, what they want more of, what they want different, and then we're going to do that," he said during Fallout 4's red carpet event.

"Our fans are amazing. They're super smart. And this is as important to them as it is to us."

Fans meanwhile, have been busy looking at how to get rich quick in the Fallout 4 wastelands.

A new Caps exploit has been found, allowing fans to purchase a vendor's entire inventory via a bartering glitch.

The glitch will only supply the total amount of caps a vendor has but has the added bonus of giving you all their stock too.

Head to a vendor, choose an ammo type, then purchase all of that ammo stock WITHOUT finalising the deal, instead sell back all the ammo you just bought.

Returning just one, you then accept the deal but again, don’t finalise, this will mean he should have one and you should have the rest of the ammo.

Select the same ammo again from you inventory and sell them all back again, the glitch has worked if you still have one left. start pressing sell and the caps you have will go up while the vendor's goes down until in the negative.

Head back to the ammo you bought earlier and buy it all again, making sure you have the amount needed in bottle caps that it would cost in your inventory. if you keep buying the ammo back you’ll see the vendor's debt rise, when you have enough to buy his entire stock, do it and finalise the deal.
