14 DAY TRIAL // Bethesda released the first official patch for Fallout 4 a few days ago, and users are now discovering that the developers fixed more than they announced in the official notes. Among the fixes, there's also one for the infinite caps glitch.
Fallout 4 players figured out pretty fast that there was a glitch in the game that allowed them to gather as many Caps as they wanted. Caps are the current in the game. As you can imagine, the opinion is split on this one. Some consider it cheating, others say that it's available for everyone and, therefore, not cheating. The bottom line is that it's a single-player experience, and it doesn't really matter.
The funny thing is that the patch for Fallout 4 had some release notes, but they didn't mention anything about fixing any of the multiple glitches that were present in the game. Since Fallout is an open-world game, these kinds of problems are pretty common, and many of them are actually left alone by the devs.
Community confirms the glitch being fixed
Reports have started to come in from the official forums that it's no longer possible to take advantage of the Caps glitch. Some other problems are still available, for the settlement, for teleportation, and even one that lets people use their companions to carry an infinite amount of items.
To be fair, if a user really wants more Caps, they don't have to use a glitch for that. They can very well use the console to spawn items that can be sold for huge prices or can increase the size of the inventory, thus selling more stuff in the city.
Since Bethesda has been careful to close this particular glitch, it's very likely that they will fix the rest. It would be nice if they also mentioned this in the release notes.
