While recent patches have focused on adding new quests and legendary vendors or tweaking the player vending machine system, the impending June update will see a major overhaul to the entire combat system.
In addition to big changes making combat faster with fewer reductions in speed through animations, the update will also see a handful of mouse and controller sensitivity options implemented that players have been asking for lately.
The show damage numbers toggle in action
While there’s no release date yet for Fallout 76 Patch 10, these are the major additions we can look forward to when it arrives later this month. It reportedly will:
show damage numbers during combat toggle (set to “off” by default) cancel the holster and draw weapon animation by pressing the fire button greatly reduced time to look down iron sights or zoom with a scope targeting reticle added to a wide variety of weapons, from the Gatling gun to the auto grenade launcher and even the paddle ball sprinting will be available immediately after firing a ranged weapon, and the reload animation can be canceled by sprinting temporary sensitivity reduction for sprinting players using controllers will be removed VATS will immediately close if any hit is a killing shot invert X and Y axis option will be added horizontal and vertical sensitivity can be changed independently of one another
