Bethesda Cuts Fallout 76 Infestations Difficulty, Adds UI Hide Option After Player Complaints

Summary
Bethesda has lowered Fallout 76 Infestations difficulty by cutting boss health pools and speeding up fights after players criticized the mode’s punishing balance.
The studio is also letting players hide Infestations from the UI entirely, including notifications and visual overlays, for those who do not want to engage with the feature.
Later this year, Bethesda plans more changes: higher ammo drops, guaranteed legendary items, possible boss mod-box drops, and a clearer map marker replacing the current green circle.
Community reaction remains split, with some players arguing Bethesda is stripping out challenge while others say the bosses’ health was excessive even by endgame standards.
