The patch, which is said to improve the game's performance and stability, comes in at around 47GB on PlayStation 4, with Xbox One users facing a similar download. PC users fair a bit better, just 15GB for that version of the game.

​As well as improving performance and fixing a menu instability issue for Xbox users, the patch also tackles a number of bugs, including one where aggroed enemies would chase players farther than intended and one that prevents C.A.M.P Blueprints from breaking into smaller parts when players log out.

Other notable fixes are:​
​

• Ghoul and Scorched Officers now correctly drop nuke code pieces upon being killed by a player.
• Fixed an issue that could cause an item to return to a broken state after being repaired.
• Placed items no longer leave behind shadow outlines after being picked up.
• The Prickett’s Fort Token Dispenser can now be repaired, and players can no longer walk through it.
• Players with Pacifist Mode enabled who engage in PVP by contesting a Workshop owned by another player will now correctly deal full damage to that player as long as they remain hostile.
• Choosing the "Respawn" option after dying during PVP combat will now correctly clear any active hostile status toward other players.
• Cap rewards will now display correctly when choosing the “Seek Revenge” respawn option after being killed by another player.
• When targeted by another player who is seeking revenge, the reward amount will now display the correct number of Caps that can be earned by killing that player.
