Fallout 76’s Burning Springs Launch Tripped Up by Server Outage

Overview

• Update 2.15 went live today to kick off Season 23: Blood x Rust, billed as the game’s largest map expansion since Wastelanders.
• Servers briefly reopened at about 2:40 p.m. EST per Bethesda’s Discord before a full outage was posted, with many players stuck at the loading screen.
• The release adds an on-demand Bounty Hunting loop—Grunt Hunts and Head Hunts—as a new path to earn Legendary items and multi-star mods.
• New content includes two public events, fresh quests, the Dom Pedro seasonal hand cannon, a Radhog C.A.M.P. pet, and The Ghoul voiced by Walton Goggins.
• Patch notes list extensive fixes and known issues, including an overtuned Head Hunt target set for a future fix, and the download is about 41 GB on PS4/PS5 and 25 GB on PC.
