Pattern and Residuum

General

Terminals: The "Asking Stimpak" Last option has been reworked and renamed "Asking Aid Package"

Choosing this choice now provides iii Stimpaks, one Super Stimpak, two RadAway, and a random Serum. Previously, this option granted 4 Stimpaks or 2 Super Stimpaks.

Developer Note: Previously, this Final pick was non as desirable as the others. Increasing how much Aid y'all receive and adding in RadAway and a Serum greatly increases the value of this selection. This also helps to boost the availability of RadAway.

Vault 51: Rebalanced the Overseer Rank requirements to access certain areas within Vault 51.

Items

Fury: No longer applies a damage bonus to fist weapons or unarmed attacks.

RadAway: Greatly increased the effectiveness of RadAway.

Quick Kits: Added a Staircase Quick Kit that you tin can use to traverse steep terrain or proceeds the loftier ground.

Weapons

Weapon Weights: Rebalanced weights of ranged weapons.

Developer Note: Weapon weights were inconsistent, and it was sometimes hard to tell exactly what was weighing you down the most. We've changed ranged weapon weight values to streamline them. Ranged weapon weights generally follow these principles:

Automatic RAD Burglarize: Slightly reduced recoil when firing the Automated RAD Rifle.

Automatic Handmade Rifle: Increased the Ammo spawned with the weapon from sixty to 90.

Combat Sniper Rifle: Reduced the Gainsay Sniper Rifle's ammo capacity from 10 to 8.

Gatling Gun: Reduced the Gatling Gun's accuracy at long range.

Lever Action Rifle: Increased Lever Action Rifle's reload speed and increased Ammo chapters from 5 to viii.

Minigun: Reduced the Minigun'due south reload speed.

Tesla Rifle: Greatly reduced the Tesla Rifle'south area of effect range.

Developer Notation: The Tesla gun'south AoE attack was too powerful and likewise lenient, which made playing against information technology unfun. Reducing its AoE range volition bring its power back down to a more manageable level.

Perk Carte: Players can remain on the same screen when opening Perk Card Packs to open them more apace.
