Bethesda Game Studios dropped a massive update for Fallout 76 with the aim of resolving a number of issues that have plagued the game.
Build Some C.A.M.P Objects
Some Fallout 76 players were unable to construct certain C.A.M.P objects in the game because they were removed from the build menu. These are the Jewelry Flair Display, Flamer Napalm Tank, Mounted Wendigo, Communist Bunker, and Communist Fence.
Although Bethesda did not disclose the reason why it removed these things from the build menu over a month ago, the good news is that players can now build them once again. They just have to update their game clients to the latest version.

Various Improvements
Update 1.7.9.7 also brought a myriad of improvements to Fallout 76. For one, the Collateral Damage legendary perk, which gives players a chance to make enemies explode by killing them while unarmed, now works with melee weapons as well.
Another improvement worth noting is that modifying the Ultracite Laser Gun using the "Beam Focuser" mod no longer removes the weapon's visual effects. This has made some people happy, with one Redditor saying: "Not having cool green lasers ruined the immersion for me."
Mork Work Needs to Be Done
While it is nice that some issues have been resolved in Update 1.7.9.7, it seems that Bethesda still has a lot of work to do.
According to Redditor MyAnswerSucks, they have experienced frequent crashes on the PS5 version of the game for quite some time now. Another Redditor had a similar experience in that they've suffered from a couple of crashes even after downloading the latest patch.
