Bethesda is gearing up to release Fallout 76 Patch 7 this week, which will contain the first batch of Wild Appalachia content, including the new Brewing and Distilling features.
As part of the update, the studio will be making adjustments to energy and heavy weapons to increase their durability and damage.

Patch 7 highlights, as detailed by Bethesda, are as follows:

Energy Weapons

For heavy and semi-auto energy weapons, we?ve greatly reduced the amount of condition damage they take per shot. Your heavy energy weapons should now last four to five times longer, and semi-auto energy weapons should last twice as long before needing repairs.
We?ve also given semi-auto energy weapons an additional damage boost of +10% so they have a little more bite.
 

Heavy Weapons

We?ve reduced the fire-rate for high rate-of-fire automatic heavy weapons across the board and increased their damage by +10%. Adjusting these weapons? fire-rates gave us more room for a damage increase, which will help them punch through armor more effectively without increasing their baseline damage per second too high.
Weapon damage for all other automatic heavy weapons has been increased by 10% to 20%.
Like energy weapons above, we?ve significantly reduced the condition damage that automatic ballistic heavy weapons take per shot, and they should now last about four times longer before they need to visit a weapons workbench.
