Bethesda is plowing ahead with their roadmap for Fallout 76, with today being the release of Wild Appalachia Patch 9.5.  The patch is 5.5GB for console, and 1GB for PC, and will introduce a new Player Event, some new Vending machines and a whole bunch of big fixes.

First up is the Project Paradise Event, which brings about the explorations and experiments at Biome Labs below Arktos Pharma building in the Forest region of Appalachia.  One warning from Bethesda, there are multiple enemies that are level 50+, so you may not want to stroll into the lab without building up your character first.

Second is the update to vending machines that allow players to "Inspect" vending machines to track down even better items and making it easier to find Legendary items for your collection.

Lastly, there are a total of 16 Bug fixes across five separate areas within the game, which you can check out the details after the jump or on the official release notes post.

Wild Appalachia

Project Paradise Event
  • Sink your teeth into some experimental testing by joining the Project Paradise event, which takes place in cavernous Biome Labs that are now available for exploration beneath Arktos Pharma.
    • To start Project Paradise, head to the Arktos Pharma building in the Forest region of Appalachia. Enter the building’s lobby, and then use the elevator to descend into the labs.
  • Product research has never been so wild! Aid Arktos Pharma with their experiments on the Appalachian creatures that inhabit the labs and you’ll be rewarded with new loot and XP.
    • All three Biome Labs will require your attention if you’d like to claim the best rewards, so most adventurers will find it beneficial to form a group.
  • Note: This event will be dauting for Dwellers who are fresh from the Vault, as you will encounter enemies who are level 50+.
Player Vending Machines
  • The “Inspect” option can now be used to view additional details about items in other players’ Vending Machines, making it easier to find that perfect Legendary for your collection.
