Fallout 76 'Weapon Weight Reduction' not working 'Plasma Fallout 76 Items gun forced to reload constantly' issues after latest update acknowledged
Fallout 76 arrived in 2018 as an ambitious multiplayer installment in the iconic Fallout franchise. Although its beginnings were somewhat difficult, successive updates improved the situation.
The game’s community is usually very active, so they find issues quickly. In the past we have covered reports of rewards not being granted for some events, VATS-related bugs, among others.
Now, a new update brought a couple of severe glitches. After the update, Fallout 76 ‘Weapon Weight Reduction’ builds effects are not working, and the Plasma gun is forced to reload constantly.
Fallout 76 ‘Weapon Weight Reduction’ builds effects not working after recent update
Fallout 76 offers a wide range of items and armor with different advantages and effects. Players who prefer agility often go for ‘Weapon Weight Reduction’ builds.
However, multiple reports indicate that the ‘Weapon Weight Reduction’ effects of builds designed for that are no longer working after the recent update.
This means that players’ weapons maintain their original weight, even if they equip reduced weight builds. This can hurt the entire experience for those accustomed to fast-paced gameplay.
Plasma gun forced to reload constantly after the update too.
The other bug brought by the update is directly affecting Plasma guns. These types of weapons allow you to shoot long bursts until all the core capacity is used.
However, the recent update is forcing players to constantly reload the Plasma gun after every few shots even if the core capacity has not been fully depleted.

When I fire my gatling plasma, it reduces my clip size to Fallout 76 Bottle Caps 10% (normal core: 250/250, when I start firing, it drops to 25/25, overcharged core starts at 350/350, when I start firing, drops to 35/35). Then it forces a reload with only 10% taken out of the core.

Fusion and plasma core glitch.
So it seems that god has punished me for exploiting the infinite ammo glitch by making all my Gatling laser ammo go from 1000 rounds to 25, same with my plasma Gatling.

This particular bug is quite annoying since it forces you to constantly reload the Plasma gun. It can be the difference between winning or losing a battle since you won’t even be sure when you’ll need to reload.
Both glitches already under investigation.
Fortunately, the Bethesda team is already aware of both issues and investigating. However, there is still no ETA for a fix.
