The state of Fallout 76 seems only able to go from bad to worse, as a new hack is allowing players to steal the inventory of others players on public servers. Since there’s no solution for this issue, the only option is not to play the game at all until it is resolved. Virtually everything is at risk, including player armor and weapons. Caps, scrip, and stash or scrap box items are not vulnerable.
A recent Reddit post describes the situation, and players should note that direct player-to-player trading is safe and unaffected. The hack is performed remotely, which means that a player needs only be within render distance of a hacker and does not need to interact directly to be a victim of theft. Bethesda recently came up scrutiny for offering players the option to pay for private servers, and at the moment, it would seem that only by using a private server can one be safe from the hack. Forget pay-to-win, until a solution is found, this now pay for hacker free zones.
So far, other posters have commented that the hack is being used at varying levels, but all of the results are the same with players losing out on their hard-earned items. If this doesn’t kill Fallout 76, nothing will.
Since the first launching, there have been problems with virtually every aspect of the game. Bugs relating to armor, players banned for playing the game and finding areas they are not supposed to, the collector’s edition canvas bag fiasco, extreme monetization of everything in an incomplete game, and like this hack, other extensive exploits.
The game has been an incomplete mess since day one, and in the lead up to E3, Director of Bethesda Game Studios, Todd Howard, spoke about how Fallout 76 was expected to have a troublesome launch, but that the team was “ready” for such a reaction. Howard rounded out his explanation of the troubles faced by the game by saying, “It’s not how you launch, it’s what it becomes.”
In that sense, Howard is correct, as Fallout 76 began as a mere disappointment, and has become a raging trash fire that continues to let players down even when they expect nothing. Considering how ridiculous the problems have been with the game to date, players can be forgiven if they simply give up and move on to something else – like a functional video game, for example. The video game industry is filled with outstanding, high-quality titles, and there is no excuse for something like Fallout 76 to survive in today’s market.
At this point, those who are still clinging to the game with hopes of improvement should steer clear of public servers to avoid the hack, or pay Bethesda a premium for their subscription to private servers.
