No more using copper for wires.
Last week, Fallout 4‘s patch 1.3 hit PC, bringing with it a number of fixes and changes. Included in the patch are: correcting an issue where your character became dismembered while still alive, issues with NPCs getting stuck in Power Armor, and you no longer have to tap into your copper supply in order to build wires. Also fixed was an issue where Minutemen quests were “repeating improperly.”
The patch has now made its way to consoles, and Bethesda has celebrated the patch’s release by sharing a video that details a fix that “dramatically increases object fading distances,” which you can check out below.
The full Fallout 4 1.3 patch notes are listed below, but be warned: there are some minor spoilers.
