Try not to get irradiated. That's a piece of general life advice for you, free of charge. But those aren't always words of wisdom in Fallout 76. In Bethesda's online RPG, radiation poisoning can lead to desirable mutations which provide your character with buffs. It's not like that in the real world, so don't get any ideas. This is why players were bothered when the gamma gun stopped irradiating them, as it was one of the most consistent ways of guaranteeing yourself a roll on the old mutation roulette. Luckily, Bethesda has fixed that bug in the latest patch, as well as adding a slew of other updates.
