Just recently, the Fallout developers made another update go live for Fallout 4. The main intent of the 1.7 update is to prime the game up for the upcoming Nuka World DLC release. But as you can see by the patch notes, there’s more to it than that. There’s a variety of small fixes to help touch-up the game and alleviate of headaches that you encountered here and there. Including Jun and Marcy Long. Now you can kill them. For now it’s only live on PC. 1.7 is coming to consoles too, but it has to go through the mandatory certification process involved with that first.
