9 Ways Bethesda Can Fix Fallout 76

6. Make Survival Mechanics Optional

Fallout 76 sees the series' signature survival mechanics being ramped up to levels that many players are finding frustrating and unnecessarily obstructive to exploring the game's sprawling wasteland.

As it stands, just moving around the world and finding resources feels like more of a chore than it probably should, but a few simple sliders could change that.
