1.76

**1.76E – December 6, 2016:**

2. **Raw Ghoul Meat will now reduce your strength and endurance if you lack the cannibal perks, but now also offer twice the rads and healing effects.**

4. **Afterburner Gum can now be crafted at a chemistry station, requires 1 Bubblegum and 1 Jet.**
5. **Reduced the level requirement of the Crude Blowback to 4 or 5 (it's effectively a 9mm machine gun)**

15. **Added NCR 1st Recon Beret. This item will be sold by Fallon's too but also by Lucas the caravan trader, as well as the QASmoke Armor Chest. Increases Crit Chance outside of V.A.T.S. and perception, like the original.**

5. **Fixed the Crude Blowback's .38 Advanced Receiver (incorrectly stated it was converted to .308)**

**1.76 – November 24, 2016:**

**This one changed a lot hopefully for the better, will still need testing though:**

1. **Demolition Expert has been redesigned, now increases damage in increments of 15% (max 60%). This was done to diminish an issue where weapons with the Explosive perk would rapidly become overpowered at high levels.**

13. **The Lucky legendary affix on a weapon stated double critical hit damage, but in fact only increased it by 50%**
14. **Meanwhile, calibrated receivers on weapons would double or even quadruple the crit damage they did! This has been corrected to be additive, not multiply the damage.**
15. **The Anti-Materiel calibrated receiver was missing its intended crit boost.**
16. **Better Criticals has been redesigned: Now when you take the perk, you can score critical hits outside of V.A.T.S. similar to older Fallout 4 games. The chance is dependent on your luck stat but also on the weapon's multiplier.**
17. **Tiers 2 and 3 of Better Criticals now give +50% and +100% crit damage, to better balance critical hits.**
18. **Redid all Securitron paint jobs to better match original in game palettes.**
