==Design changes & improvements==
===Weapon changes===
Although we are playing in a post-apocalyptic world, we still want to keep that world fair, fun, and inviting to all. While you have been exploring and rebuilding, we have been working on a new system that works behind the scenes to remove illegal attachment combinations that violate the EULA to ensure that every single player is using and trading the same items and has the same advantages as you.
In today's update, we are implementing a system that will remove illegal mods attached to weapons that cannot be obtained in-game. Most players will not notice any change to their existing weapons, however, players who are in possession of a weapon with a mod that cannot be equipped naturally to the weapon may notice a damage decrease to the weapon, and the mod will no longer exist.

==New bugs and subsequent hotfixes==
As a result of the update, two known bugs were created:
* The "Weight reduction" legendary effect on armor did not work. This resulted in armor labelled with the effect in the player's inventory reverting to their normal weight.
* Weapons utilizing cores as ammunition had bugged ammo capacities. The load sizes were only equal to the amount of cores the player had in their inventory.
These bugs were patched in a hotfix released on January 27, 2023, three days after the release of the update (v1.7.2.19). This hotfix introduced another issue, in which client crashes significantly increased. The crashes were addressed in a second hotfix released on January 30, 2023, for PC, and the following day for PlayStation and Xbox (v1.7.2.22).
