The timing ofFallout 4’s resurgence also aligned with its next-gen update, which came with enhancements to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions.

Despite Bethesda’s titles developing a reputation for having glitches that can change a game in various ways, one player claimed that a bug made them the richest Survivor in the Commonwealth. On the r/Fallout subreddit, a Redditor named Arkayne97 said they shot a Raider outside the Corverga Assembly Plant and looted 99,999,999 Bottlecaps from them. Considering thatthe Corvega Assembly Plantis one of the first dungeons thatFallout 4players will delve into, the enemies within usually do not carry many Caps. Arkayne97 shared another screenshot that stated their save file, called Atom, did not use anyFallout 4mods.
