Those thieving NPCs shouldn’t bother you anymore
Not long after the Wastelanders update dropped,Fallout 76players started noticing that some of their weapons were disappearing after they died. But it wasn’t that they were vanishing into thin air - it turns out some opportunistic new human NPCs were looting players' corpses, and nicking the best guns from their bodies. Then would just wander round using the stolen goods right in front of them like nothing happened. The perfect crime.
Thankfully this was definitely a bug, not a feature, and Bethesda have released a hotfix to sort it out.
You should be safe to venture back out now though, as Bethesda say they’ve addressed the problem.
“We just released a hotfix forFallout 76to address a rare issue where NPCs could take items from a dead player under certain circumstances,“they saidon Tuesday. “We did not need to take the game offline to do this, and the hotfix has now been applied to all worlds.”
If you were robbed before the fix, unfortunately there’s no mention of whether or not you’ll get your stuff back.
