Bethesda Game Studio recently revealed the new update for Fallout 4. Meanwhile, the audio files that surfaced hinted the possible contents of the upcoming DLC.

Express UK shared that Fallout series game developer Bethesda Game Studio disclosed to fans that their new update 1.3.45 which still in beta form is available for download at Steam. However, Bethesda cautioned players to back-up their files in the possibility that it could spoil their prevailing play-through.

Although the update is still in the beta phase, fans will be delighted with the improvements the update brings. It includes new ambient occlusion setting, HBAO+; new weapon debris effects (NVIDIA cards only); added status menu for settlers in the settlements; added ability to rotate an object; and improved "ESDF" keys remapping support while in Workshop mode, the source said.

Aside from the improvements, Express UK also noted that the update 1.3.45 fixes memory and stability, performance and gameplay issues and Stimpaks.

In addition, fans can look forward to changelog on gameplay, workshop and fixes for quest as held by International Business Times Australia. Quest fixes may include trapped in an area of Fallout 4 such as Dogmeat stuck in Fort Hagen after Reunions, players stuck in the cryopod or untouchable characters stuck in combat.  

Meanwhile, Fallout 4 fans found audio clips that may give hints of possible contents of upcoming DLC. Reports via Inquisitr told that the audio clips apparently appear for the Combat Zombie ring announcer Tommy Lonegan at the Combat Zone. The Tommy Lonegan audio files suggested the possibility for NPC to give options for players to fight for Nuka-Cola caps through tournaments in the Combat Zone.

This concept is not yet seen in Fallout. The site added that Bethesda can add the Combat Zone contents in a DLC. Another Fallout 4 DLC game possibility speculated would be Operation Anchorage, as there is a backstory involving the warring factions over resources. Another option of DLC related to underwater adventures.

With the beta update, fans are eagerly awaiting for the first Fallout 4 DLC for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
