Fallout 76 Addresses Year-Old Issue, But Only Temporarily

Sure thing, here we go:

So, Fallout 76 and those caravans, right? If you’ve been playing, you probably know how Brahmin herding went from a quirky detail to a full-on migraine since Milepost Zero dropped. Been about a year, I think? Anyway, Bethesda’s got some fixes—kind of. It’s like putting a band-aid over a crack in the wall, but hey, maybe it’ll hold for a bit.

There’s this artwork they released, and I don’t know why but looking at it somehow reminds me of those old comic book covers. Maybe it’s the colors? Or the placement of the logo? Who knows what’s happening in my brain sometimes.

Right. Caravans. They’re those animal escort missions introduced in Season 18. They were doomed from the start. I mean, imagine a cow running in circles—yup, that was a legit thing. And they’d get stuck on, like, invisible walls? Random rocks? Fun times.

Bethesda announced they’re tackling this mess. Well, indirectly. They’re cutting the mission timer from 30 minutes to 7. I gotta say, I chuckled a bit—it’s like deciding to shorten a bad movie so it’s over quicker. Anyway! Stuck Brahmins should waste less of our precious gaming hours now. They don’t seem to elaborate on why they’re not fixing the cause, though. Maybe it’s a lost cause, or maybe they’re just keeping secrets. Who knows.

And if you think the grind was getting to be too much, you’re not alone. Folks have been grumbling about how getting rewards in these missions was unbalanced as heck. Like, if you were the one who started the event, you’d get more loot. Now, it’s supposed to be equal for everyone. Finally!

Bethesda has this test server thing going, and apparently, everything’s being shuffled around there since July. The big changes are supposed to roll out by the time Fallout 76 Season 22 hits. Appalachian Modern Living sounds like some HGTV special, but it’s what they’re calling it. Fingers crossed it’s all smooth by September 2025.

So, stuck Brahmins, bizarre fixes, and maybe a bit less grindy—just another day in the wasteland.
