Wasteland Status Report

Massive combat & perk changes are on the horizon in the next PTS. Melee is back on the menu, and your favorite guns might feel completely different.

Highlights from the developer holotape include:

• MELEE OVERHAUL: Huge base damage increases and new bleed effects for bladed weapons. Power attacks are getting a serious boost.
• V.A.T.S. REWRITTEN: The hit-chance formula has been rebuilt from the ground up for a more intuitive feel.
• HEAVY GUNNER PERKS: Say goodbye to the old perks and hello to a new "Bullet Storm" stacking damage system.
• MANUAL AIM IMPROVED: Recoil and cone-of-fire have been adjusted across the board for better non-V.A.T.S. gameplay.
