==Fallout 76: Patch 11 notes – July 16, 2019==
Patch 11 is here and brings with it a sizeable list of adjustments and fixes to Adventure Mode and Nuclear Winter.
Grab the punch bowl (it's back!) and settle into the full list of patch notes for today's update.
==Patch highlights==
* Power Armor Improvements: We've made behind-the-scenes improvements to the Power Armor system to help address lots of bugs. As a result, you may notice your Power Armor pieces have moved into your inventory or Stash.
* Item descriptions get a makeover: The descriptions for Legendary items, item mods, and crafting recipes now display all of their current attributes when viewing these items in menus.
* Nuclear Winter balance changes: As mentioned a few weeks ago, Patch 11 addresses some of the concerns we saw being reported in regard to certain Perks, like Frog Legs.
* Better experiences for new players: We've made several changes to help new players ease into the challenges of the Wasteland during the early hours of the game. These adjustments should make stepping out of Vault 76 a breath of fresh air.
* Delicious libations: Patch 11 marks the return of the Punch Bowl. PARTY AT YOUR C.A.M.P.!
==Patch version==
Download sizes for this update will be approximately 5.5 GB for consoles and 2.5 GB for PC.

* PS4: 1.2.1.18
* Xbox: 1.2.1.18
==General==
===Power armor improvements===
We've reworked the underlying systems behind Power Armor to address a ton of Power Armor related bugs, improve performance, and help the entire system function more smoothly overall. While most of these are “under the hood” improvements, we believe these changes will help you have better experiences, and encounter fewer issues, while wearing your favorite set of Power Armor.
As this brings a significant update to our Power Armor systems, some players may notice the following one-time side effects upon logging in after downloading today's patch:
* Power Armor pieces may have been unequipped from Power Armor Chassis you own and moved from your Stash to your inventory, or vice versa. You will need to re-equip those pieces after logging in.
* Some players may receive an extra Power Armor chassis or extra Power Armor pieces in their inventory or Stash that weren't present prior to Patch 11. These are items that didn't save correctly when you originally collected them, and the Power Armor improvements mentioned above have restored them.
* If you had one or more Power Armor Chassis in your Stash before installing Patch 11, your character may have been moved to a Train Station in the world. This was done to help players who became overencumbered due to Power Armor pieces and chassis moving into their inventory transfer those items back into their Stash without needing to walk home from their current location in the world.
===Art and graphics===
