Frequently Asked Questions

- How do I know if a console has an exploitable firmware version? Well, looks like KiiWii has once again heard your pleas and has got you covered. PS4IDENT is a tool that aims to make identifying PS4's with vulnerable firmware easy. Please check it out, and if you find any of his tools/contributions helpful show your appreciation. The only other way to reliably identify lower firmware consoles is by the particular console bundle. There are various incomplete lists around the internet such as this GBAtemp thread. You can also check the release date of a firmware here and compare it to the release or "stock date" of a console you're looking to buy to determine what firmware it may come with. None of these options are guaranteed. You will ultimately have to do your own footwork, but this gives you a couple ways to start.
- Is there a Guide? There will be many guides available both on the wider internet and posted in this subreddit, this one on GBAtemp is well maintained. You can also subscribe to ModdedWarfare on youtube. Keep in mind most 'guides' on youtube are fake so watch out. Right now the 6.72 exploit is fairly new so things will be updated as time goes on and more guides will be out.
- Can I download/play games for free? We neither condone nor support piracy. Any links to pirated material will result in a ban. Piracy may be discussed in the meta, but any questions regarding where to find pirated materials or how to use them will be removed and could result in a temporary ban.
- Can I play "X" game? How do I know what firmware a game requires? Check out kiiwii's tool here for a list of games and thier respective firmwares. Alternatively you can just google the release date of a game and compare it to the release date of a firmware which you can find here. This won't be perfectly accurate, but it should give you a good idea.
- Is there a 6.72+ exploit/When will there be one? No system is entirely secure. It is a cat and mouse game with security researchers and hackers constantly playing catch-up. As long as interest remains (which is almost certain for the PS4, long past its EOL) newer firmware will be exploited. If Jailbreaks/HomeBrew are important to you, the golden rule is, do not update.
- Is it possible to downgrade from {my firmware version} to {insert exploitable version here}?
Yes. Only under specific circumstances though. You can find information about that from this thread and this tweet. The main points are that you need to have backed up some data from your ps4 before you updated to whatever firmware you are on right now. Also this method requires some soldering skills and some extra equipment at the very least. A full explanation is a little beyond this FAQ.
- How do I update to 6.72? Download the relevant file (available here) and copy it to a USB drive, then update your console from the downloaded .pup. This is not a tutorial, for detailed instructions see here.
- Can I play Online still? You can not access the PlayStation Network without being on the current firmware. You can use Linux and access Steam, that may be some consolation.
- Should I try the ☆Delete Save Function on my games thumbnail? No.
- What's the difference between Mira and Hen? HEN means Homebrew ENabler and is a piece of software that allows your system to run unofficial software (or homebrew).
The Mira Project/MiraCFW is a set of tools that aim to grant you more power and control over your jailbroken PlayStation 4. Like HEN, Mira also enables you to run unsigned software but will include other features such as an app store like interface to download homebrew directly from your PS4. So Mira is a homebrew enabler, but HEN is not Mira.
-Help my console says it's on a higher firmware, but HEN is still running, what do I do? There is a spoofer payload that now runs automatically with some versions of HEN. If you restart your console then it will go back to whatever firmware you were previously on. There is no way for your console to update without restarting.
- Where Can I Get an ESP8266? These chips are both inexpensive and incredibly common. They're usually around $5-10 USD and a quick search on Amazon, AliExpress, eBay or Google will bring up pages of them. Here is one from SeeedStudio for ~$9.00 USD and one from GearBest for less than $4.00 USD as examples.
- How Can I Help? I know it may surprise you, but this is not a frequently asked question. You can help by subscribing (if you haven`t already) and becoming part of our community. For those of you who have already subscribed, this subreddit is what we as a community make it. If you see something that is interesting to you regarding PS4 hacks it is likely interesting to most of us as well, so don`t be afraid to post it. If you learn something new, make a quick post or even better, write a guide.
Console hacking comes with no guarantees, voids your warranty, breaks Sony's user agreement (EULA) and could even lead to PSN bans. Use at your own risk.

THIS POST CONTAINS VALID INFORMATION AND IS KEPT UP-TO-DATE (July 07, 2020)

BREAKING NEWS!! DO NOT UPDATE! HOPE IS ON THE HORIZON!

TheFl0w's exploit for firmware 7.02 has been made public and a new jailbreak should be available in the near future for firmware at least as high as 6.72. See this post for discussion.
It is not possible to downgrade. There is no jailbreak for 7.50 (or any firmware higher than 5.07) currently available. If you see claims of this they are very likely a scam. See** this post **for more information.

- Is there a Guide? CFWaifu's PS4 Homebrew Guide There are many guides available both on the wider internet (LMGTFY) and posted in this subreddit, this one on GBAtemp is well maintained. There is also more than one possible method, for beginners I recommend using Al-Azif's DNS servers. There are Android and online hosted solutions as discussed at PlayStationHax.xyz.
- Can I download/play games for free? We neither condone nor support piracy. Any links to pirated material will result in a ban. Piracy may be discussed in the meta, but any questions regarding where to find pirated materials or how to use them will be removed and could result in a temporary ban.
- Can I play "X" game? How do I know what firmware a game requires? Here is a non-comprehensive list of PS4 games that are playable on firmware 5.05. If you are wondering about a particular game, check Metacritic for the date the game was released. If it is before April 2018, it's more than likely below 5.05 and after April 2018, not playable. If you don't know which game you're looking for and just want to see a list of games that you can play, go to Metacritic, choose "Games" and choose "New Releases" then find "By Platform PS4" and then select "All Releases" from the bar at the top of the list. It sorts them by date, so you just start checking at April 2018 (which starts on about page 3 right now). There may be a few small games in May that are playable, and there is a bit of variation over the regions
- Is there a 5.05+ exploit/When will there be one? No system is entirely secure. It is a cat and mouse game with security researchers and hackers constantly playing catch-up. As long as interest remains (which is almost certain for the PS4, long past its EOL) newer firmware will be exploited. If Jailbreaks/HomeBrew are important to you, the golden rule is, do not update. For more information on firmware 5.5x see this page at wololo.net.
- Is it possible to downgrade from {my firmware version} to {insert exploitable version here}?
No. Sorry, it is not possible to downgrade any regular firmware version on a retail console.

Hey guys, just want to ask ur opinion. I just bought PS4 pro bundle god of walast of us remastered. Unfortunately my ps4 is on firmware 7.02, but i had seen on wiki web that it supposed to come with 6.72. it's kind of bummer for me as the seller does not accept return because i already unsealed the box.
As you guys already know the kex for 7.02 is already out but not webkit exploit, should i just stay on 7.02 or should i just update it to latest version?
I don't really care about online features on latest firmware, but i want to use ps4 Wizard so much that i have been thinking this for days.
Should i wait for webkit exploit and jailbreak to use ps4cheater or should i update firmware to latest and buy ps4wizard???
Its hard to say that webkit exploit coming anytime soon as theflow0 already out of the scene... Sad sad
Ps: yeah i am a cheater so what? I just play single player game anyway, never care about online features...
(Guys now i had sell my ps4 pro and bought ps4 fat with jailbreak for cheap. thank goodness i sell my ps4 pro with the same price i bought it, at most my monitor is at 1080p, btw the money saved i can ready for ps5 LOL)

Hi everyone,
Please find the full list of patch notes below for today's PC (and Thursday's console) update. These are also available on fallout.com.
Patch Version:
Download sizes for this update will be approximately 5GB for consoles, and around 3GB for PC.

• PC: 1.0.3.10

Highlights

• C.A.M.P. Construction Improvements: Small obstructions will now be automatically removed when you place objects on top of them, allowing you to more easily build when and where you want.
• C.A.M.P. Placement Improvements: You will now be notified when you log into a world and your current C.A.M.P. location is occupied by another player. If you stay in that world, you can place your C.A.M.P. back down for free. If you decide not to place your C.A.M.P. and join a new world where your space is unoccupied, it will be automatically placed in its original spot.
• SPECIAL Re-speccing: Upon reaching level 51, and every level thereafter, you’ll be able to choose whether you want to unlock a new Perk Card or reallocate one SPECIAL point.
• Push-to-Talk: We’ve implemented a push-to-talk hotkey for Voice Chat on PC so that you can decide when to speak up and when to remain silent.
• New PC Settings: We’ve added Field of View and Depth of Field sliders so that you can further customize your view in-game.
• 21:9 Resolution Support: On PC, you can catch an even wider view from those gorgeous Appalachian vistas, because Fallout 76 now supports monitors that use 21:9 aspect ratios.

General

• Performance: Several improvements have been made to in-game performance.
• Stability: The Fallout 76 game client and servers have received additional stability improvements.

Art

• Lighting: Exposure values have been adjusted for exterior environments, allowing them to appear brighter in dark conditions.

Balance

• Loot: .308 Ammo dropped by creatures has been reduced. Players will now receive .308 Ammo in stacks of 1 – 5, rather than up to 12 for a single kill.
• Loot: Super Mutants will now drop Gunpowder half as often, and the chance for additional loot has been reduced. Caps are guaranteed loot on Super Mutants until level 16.
• Scorchbeast Queen: Will now land on the ground more often.
• Workshops: Players no longer gain XP when crafting at a public Workshop.

C.A.M.P., Crafting, and Workshops
NEW – Automatically remove obstructions in C.A.M.P.s:

• Rocks, small trees, and other small objects no longer prevent players from building items in those locations.
• These obstructions are now automatically removed upon constructing objects and structures in C.A.M.P., such as Foundations.
• Placing an object to remove an obstruction and then removing that object, will cause that obstruction to reappear after some time or upon logging back in.

NEW – C.A.M.P. placement improvements:

• A notification will now be displayed to players upon logging into a world if their current C.A.M.P. location is occupied by someone else.
• If they choose to remain in that world, they will be able to place their C.A.M.P. in a new location for free.
• Alternatively, if the player decides not to place their C.A.M.P. in a new location, and instead joins a new world, their C.A.M.P. will be automatically placed back in its original location—as long as that spot is unoccupied.

Additional C.A.M.P., Crafting, and Workshop updates:

• C.A.M.P.: The percentage of a C.A.M.P.’s Budget that is being taken up by stored items and Blueprints will now appear in the Budget bar.
• C.A.M.P.: While in build mode, players can now toggle the left joystick on controllers, or press “Q” on PC, to switch view between objects that can be built and those that cannot.
• Windmill: The power produced by the Windmill has been increased from 3 to 12.
• Workshops: Players can now purchase Atomic Shop items directly from the Workshop menu.

Progression
NEW – SPECIAL Re-speccing:

• Every time a player levels-up after level 50, they can now choose whether to unlock a new Perk Card or transfer one previously allocated SPECIAL point from one category to another.
• This change is not retroactive for characters that have already progressed beyond level 50 but will apply to every level-up they achieve going forward.
• If a player chooses to reallocate a SPECIAL point on leveling-up, they will be unable to select a new Perk Card for that level, and vice-versa.
• Re-speccing details have also been added to the “Perks” section of the in-game Help menu.

Quests
Event Quests: A 15-minute cooldown timer has been added at the end of each Enclave Event Quest.
Event Quests: XP reward amounts have been reduced for the following Event Quests:

• Additionally, the cooldown timer that begins after starting each of these Events has been increased from 48 minutes to 1 hour and 12 minutes.

User Interface
NEW – Push-to-Talk Setting (PC):

• A Push-to-Talk setting has been added for Voice Chat, and is set to the Caps Lock key by default.
• The “Toggle Always Run” hotkey, which used to be set on Caps Lock, has been moved to the “/” key by default.
• Both the Caps Lock and “/” hotkeys can be rebound in the Controls Menu.

NEW – Depth of Field Setting (PC):

• A Depth of Field slider has been added and can be adjusted in the game’s display settings menu.

NEW – Field of View Setting (PC):

NEW – 21:9 Resolution Support (PC):

• Additionally, various 21:9 resolutions can be selected in the game’s display settings menu.

Additional User Interface Updates:

• Atomic Shop: Items that have recently been added to the Atomic Shop now display a “New” icon, and new items will now sort to the front of their associated subsections.
• Atomic Shop: Item subtitles in the Atomic Shop have been moved to the top of item images.
• Compass: Maximums have been implemented for each type of marker that can appear in the compass, and up to 60 markers in total can be visible at once:

Exploitable Firmware Versions

Currently, there are only 4 firmware versions with publicly available exploits. Firmware versions above 5.07 are not supported and are not likely to be for some time. It is currently not possible to downgrade. Subscribe and visit frequently for news.
- 5.05 (5.07 is compatible as well, although it is not common. Do not update to 5.07)
- 4.55 (Updating to 5.05 is recommended as it is the current target for homebrew development.)
- 4.05 (Updating to 5.05 is recommended as it is the current target for homebrew development.)
- 1.76 (Version 1.76 and lower may be valuable for research purposes.)

Frequently Asked Questions

- How do I know if a console has an exploitable firmware version? Well, looks like KiiWii has once again heard your pleas and has got you covered, Fam. PS4IDENT is a tool that aims to make identifying PS4's with vulnerable firmware easy. Please check it out, and if you find any of his tools/contributions helpful show your appreciation. The only other way to reliably identify lower firmware consoles is by the particular console bundle. There are various incomplete lists around the internet such as this GBAtemp thread. You will have to do your own footwork, a Google search is a good start though.
- Is there a Guide? CFWaifu's PS4 Homebrew Guide There are many guides available both on the wider internet (LMGTFY) and posted in this subreddit, this one on GBAtemp is well maintained. There is also more than one possible method, for beginners I recommend using Al-Azif's DNS servers. There are Android and online hosted solutions as discussed at PlayStationHax.xyz.
- Can I download/play games for free? We neither condone nor support piracy. Any links to pirated material will result in a ban. Piracy may be discussed in the meta, but any questions regarding where to find pirated materials or how to use them will be removed and could result in a temporary ban.
- Can I play "X" game? How do I know what firmware a game requires? Here is a non-comprehensive list of PS4 games that are playable on firmware 5.05. If you are wondering about a particular game, check Metacritic for the date the game was released. If it is before April 2018, it's more than likely below 5.05 and after April 2018, not playable. If you don't know which game you're looking for and just want to see a list of games that you can play, go to Metacritic, choose "Games" and choose "New Releases" then find "By Platform PS4" and then select "All Releases" from the bar at the top of the list. It sorts them by date, so you just start checking at April 2018 (which starts on about page 3 right now). There may be a few small games in May that are playable, and there is a bit of variation over the regions
- Is there a 5.05+ exploit/When will there be one? No system is entirely secure. It is a cat and mouse game with security researchers and hackers constantly playing catch-up. As long as interest remains (which is almost certain for the PS4, long past its EOL) newer firmware will be exploited. If Jailbreaks/HomeBrew are important to you, the golden rule is, do not update. For more information on firmware 5.5x see this page at wololo.net.
- Is it possible to downgrade from {my firmware version} to {insert exploitable version here}?
No. Sorry, it is not possible to downgrade any regular firmware version on a retail console.
- How do I update to 5.05? Download the relevant file (available here) and copy it to a USB drive, then update your console from the downloaded .pup. This is not a tutorial, for detailed instructions see here.
- Can I play Online still? You can not access the PlayStation Network without being on the current firmware (5.55). You can use Linux and access Steam, that may be some consolation.
- Should I try the ☆Delete Save Function on my games thumbnail? No.
- What's the difference between Mira and Hen? HEN means Homebrew ENabler and is a piece of software that allows your system to run unofficial software (or homebrew).
The Mira Project is a set of tools that aim to grant you more power and control over your jailbroken PlayStation 4. Like HEN, Mira also enables you to run unsigned software but will include other features such as an app store like interface to download homebrew directly from your PS4. So Mira is a homebrew enabler, but HEN is not Mira.
- Where Can I Get an ESP8266? These chips are both inexpensive and incredibly common. They're usually around $5-10 USD and a quick search on Amazon, AliExpress, eBay or Google will bring up pages of them. Here is one from SeeedStudio for ~$9.00 USD and one from GearBest for less than $4.00 USD as examples.
- How Can I Help? I know it may surprise you, but this is not a frequently asked question. You can help by subscribing (if you haven`t already) and becoming part of our community. For those of you who have already subscribed, this subreddit is what we as a community make it. If you see something that is interesting to you regarding PS4 hacks it is likely interesting to most of us as well, so don`t be afraid to post it. If you learn something new, make a quick post or even better, write a guide.
Console hacking comes with no guarantees, voids your warranty, breaks Sony's user agreement (EULA) and could even lead to PSN bans. Use at your own risk.
Thanks For Reading,
The Moderation Team.

I see the same questions asked every day on this sub. So I will try to answer as many as I will remember here. If I left anything out please leave a comment. It would help if this was pinned, otherwise, I did that for nothing, but anyways here we go.
1 - What PAID menu should I get?
Impulse or Disturbed. Disturbed is easier to buy, also Imulse has recovery disabled and Disturbed standard is down by 6.5.2020. People in the comments have recommended some other menus too. Check out the comments.
2 - What FREE menu should I get?
If you ask me none. I used Sylent for like a week and recovery options are terrible, but I have to admit I wasn't banned. Kiddion from what I heard has decent recovery options, but you will get banned. Just spend like 10 bucks on a better menu.
3 - Can I get a recovery on Xbox ONE or PS4?
Short answer: NO
Long answer: No, but I think you can get some offline mods. Guys, you have GOOGLE!!!
You can mod PS3 and Xbox 360 if you jailbreak it.
4 - How do I avoid getting banned?
Drop money only to people you know in an invite-only session. If you really have to troll use every protection your menu offers you. First RID spoofer and if I was you I would change my Gamertag too, just in case someone messages rockstar later.
5 - What is recovery?
Recovery is when I log into your gta online account and launch the game with my menu injected. Then I use the casino or nightclub method to give you a ton of money. Watch this video to learn more about it.
Also everyone who is skeptical about giving their account to a stranger, just change a password. And there is literary NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING in your rockstar account that anyone would need.
6 - How do I buy a menu.
Impulse: you need to buy it with bitcoin sadly.
Disturbed: bitcoin or message their dev on discord. He hasn't responded to me so I bought it here.
7 - Is dropping money safe?
Safe or not, it's a waste of time and you get these annoying rockstar messages. I've been dropped a lot of money through 3 years of playing this game before starting to mod and never got a ban. Just do it at your own risk.
​
I think that's all. Comment if I forgot anything important and please folks scroll for 2 seconds before asking a fucking question that's been answered like 10 times in the last hour.
EDIT; To be honest I don't give a shit about Kiddions and if you got banned or not, I'm just getting all the posts other people made into one. But what I do give a shit about is people posting "What free menu should I get?" every 5 minutes without scrolling down for 2 seconds to find your answer. Download whatever the fuck you want and risk getting banned or not getting banned. I don't give a single fuck.
EDIT2: This post is more posts made by different people combined into one post. I haven't tried kiddion's I'm just telling you what literally everyone is posting here. The only free menu I ever used is Sylent and I can confirm that I wasn't banned. The only paid menu I ever used is Disturbed. I can stand behind these menus because, to be honest I kinda miss some features from Sylent, but recovery is the most important thing in a menu, if you ask me. Sylent just fails there completely. Thanks for everyone's comments. I know the pain where there's nothing in your PayPal and you just can't afford a paid menu. If you like Kiddion's use it, as we learned in the past days even the best of the best can break and cause massive ban waves. Use whatever you want, just be careful.

hello everyone just jailed break my PS3 for the first time. now i got some questions about it.
can i store and play games from a external hard drive like the PS4 or do i have to use something different?
also can i trun ISO files to PKG files?
i have an alt account (never touched online with it and jailbreak it on a different account and erased that account the other account and never touched online and a main account with PSN games bought. if use my alt count with not going online with it what is the chance with a ban. but if i do go online with my main account such has to play online and put digital games on there i bought. the only reason i got the jail break is to try some games before i buy them. what i'm saying is that i want to know if putting an ALT account with no online with games from HDD and if i should mix it with my main account.

I just got a PS4 Slim, and I’m currently playing thru some of the games I’ve never got a chance to play. Last Sony system I had was a PS2, so I have a TON of games to catch up on. Anyways, I’m not new to modding/hacking/jailbreaking. I’ve modded every Nintendo system since the Wii, but normally I do this after the life cycle of the system ends (except the Switch, which I currently have Custom Firmware on). That’s actually why I’m curious on the down side of running homebrew on a PS4. I was inpatient and didn’t run a proper DNS block on my Switch and got MAC address banned on my Switch so I’ll need to get a second one for playing online and such.
So I suppose my title is a little bit wrong, as I pretty much know the upside of running homebrew on the PS4, but what all kinds of cons are there to doing it? Like, is it better to have 2 systems? I don’t play a ton of online games, but I like having the ability to. And I also have a full year of PS+ and PS Now.
If anybody can give me a bit of a rundown on the general things I might need to know before committing to doing it, I would be forever in your debt.

Current State Of Affairs/Quick Questions Thread

Please use the search function before posting a question. Most relevant topics are discussed in the PS4Homebrew Wiki & FAQ. Please confine basic questions to this thread. I will update it reasonably often. Redditors who would like to answer questions will be appreciated, please visit this thread frequently and help us keep the subreddit clean. I will update this post as questions are asked and answered.
If you have a technical question that you feel merits more visibility you may post it in the main subreddit but keep in mind it may be removed and repeatedly doing so may result in further action. Feel free to use modmail to pre-approve technical questions.

Exploitable Firmware Versions

Currently, there are only 4 firmware versions with publicly available exploits. Firmware versions above 5.07 are not supported and are not likely to be for some time. It is currently not possible to downgrade. Subscribe and visit frequently for news.
- 5.05 (5.07 is compatible as well, although it is not common. Do not update to 5.07)
- 4.55 (Updating to 5.05 is recommended as it is the current target for homebrew development.)
- 4.05 (Updating to 5.05 is recommended as it is the current target for homebrew development.)
- 1.76 (Version 1.76 and lower may be valuable for research purposes.)

Frequently Asked Questions

- How do I know if a console has an exploitable firmware version? Well, looks like KiiWii has once again heard your pleas and has got you covered, Fam. PS4IDENT is a tool that aims to make identifying PS4's with vulnerable firmware easy. Please check it out, and if you find any of his tools/contributions helpful show your appreciation. The only other way to reliably identify lower firmware consoles is by the particular console bundle. There are various incomplete lists around the internet such as this GBAtemp thread. You will have to do your own footwork, a Google search is a good start though.
- Can I download/play games for free? We neither condone nor support piracy. Any links to pirated material will result in a ban. Piracy may be discussed in the meta, but any questions regarding where to find pirated materials or how to use them will be removed and could result in a temporary ban.
- Can I play "X" game? How do I know what firmware a game requires? If you are wondering about a particular game, check Metacritic for the date the game was released. If it is before April 2018, it's more than likely below 5.05 and after April 2018, not playable. If you don't know which game you're looking for and just want to see a list of games that you can play, go to Metacritic, choose "Games" and choose "New Releases" then find "By Platform PS4" and then select "All Releases" from the bar at the top of the list. It sorts them by date, so you just start checking at April 2018 (which starts on about page 3 right now). There may be a few small games in May that are playable, and there is a bit of variation over the regions
- Is there a 5.05+ exploit/When will there be one? No system is entirely secure. It is a cat and mouse game with security researchers and hackers constantly playing catch-up. As long as interest remains (which is almost certain for the PS4, long past its EOL) newer firmware will be exploited. If Jailbreaks/HomeBrew are important to you, the golden rule is, do not update. For more information on firmware 5.5x see this page at wololo.net.
- Is it possible to downgrade from {my firmware version} to {insert exploitable version here}?
No. Sorry, it is not possible to downgrade any regular firmware version on a retail console.
- Is there a Guide? There are now several guides available both on the wider internet (LMGTFY) and posted in this subreddit, this one on GBAtemp is well maintained. There is more than one possible method, for beginners I recommend using Al-Azif's DNS servers. There are also Android and online hosted solutions as discussed at PlayStationHax.xyz.
- How do I update to 5.05? Download the relevant file (available here) and copy it to a USB drive, then update your console from the downloaded .pup. This is not a tutorial, for detailed instructions see here.
- Can I play Online still? You can not access the PlayStation Network without being on the current firmware (5.55). You can use Linux and access Steam, that may be some consolation.
- Should I try the ☆Delete Save Function on my games thumbnail? No.
- What's the difference between Mira and Hen? HEN means Homebrew ENabler and is a piece of software that allows your system to run unofficial software (or homebrew).
The Mira Project is a set of tools that aim to grant you more power and control over your jailbroken PlayStation 4. Like HEN, Mira also enables you to run unsigned software but will include other features such as an app store like interface to download homebrew directly from your PS4. So Mira is a homebrew enabler, but HEN is not Mira.
- Where Can I Get an ESP8266? These chips are both inexpensive and incredibly common. They're usually around $5-10 USD and a quick search on Amazon, AliExpress, eBay or Google will bring up pages of them. Here is one from SeeedStudio for ~$9.00 USD and one from GearBest for less than $4.00 USD as examples.
- How Can I Help? I know it may surprise you, but this is not a frequently asked question. You can help by subscribing (if you haven`t already) and becoming part of our community. For those of you who have already subscribed, this subreddit is what we as a community make it. If you see something that is interesting to you regarding PS4 hacks it is likely interesting to most of us as well, so don`t be afraid to post it. If you learn something new, make a quick post or even better, write a guide.

Hi everyone,
Please find the full list of patch notes below for today's PC (and Thursday's console) update. These are also available on fallout.com.
Patch Version:
Download sizes for this update will be approximately 5GB for consoles, and around 3GB for PC.

• PC: 1.0.3.10

Highlights

• C.A.M.P. Construction Improvements: Small obstructions will now be automatically removed when you place objects on top of them, allowing you to more easily build when and where you want.
• C.A.M.P. Placement Improvements: You will now be notified when you log into a world and your current C.A.M.P. location is occupied by another player. If you stay in that world, you can place your C.A.M.P. back down for free. If you decide not to place your C.A.M.P. and join a new world where your space is unoccupied, it will be automatically placed in its original spot.
• SPECIAL Re-speccing: Upon reaching level 51, and every level thereafter, you’ll be able to choose whether you want to unlock a new Perk Card or reallocate one SPECIAL point.
• Push-to-Talk: We’ve implemented a push-to-talk hotkey for Voice Chat on PC so that you can decide when to speak up and when to remain silent.
• New PC Settings: We’ve added Field of View and Depth of Field sliders so that you can further customize your view in-game.
• 21:9 Resolution Support: On PC, you can catch an even wider view from those gorgeous Appalachian vistas, because Fallout 76 now supports monitors that use 21:9 aspect ratios.

General

• Performance: Several improvements have been made to in-game performance.
• Stability: The Fallout 76 game client and servers have received additional stability improvements.

Art

• Lighting: Exposure values have been adjusted for exterior environments, allowing them to appear brighter in dark conditions.

Balance

• Loot: .308 Ammo dropped by creatures has been reduced. Players will now receive .308 Ammo in stacks of 1 – 5, rather than up to 12 for a single kill.
• Loot: Super Mutants will now drop Gunpowder half as often, and the chance for additional loot has been reduced. Caps are guaranteed loot on Super Mutants until level 16.
• Scorchbeast Queen: Will now land on the ground more often.
• Workshops: Players no longer gain XP when crafting at a public Workshop.

C.A.M.P., Crafting, and Workshops
NEW – Automatically remove obstructions in C.A.M.P.s:

• Rocks, small trees, and other small objects no longer prevent players from building items in those locations.
• These obstructions are now automatically removed upon constructing objects and structures in C.A.M.P., such as Foundations.
• Placing an object to remove an obstruction and then removing that object, will cause that obstruction to reappear after some time or upon logging back in.

NEW – C.A.M.P. placement improvements:

• A notification will now be displayed to players upon logging into a world if their current C.A.M.P. location is occupied by someone else.
• If they choose to remain in that world, they will be able to place their C.A.M.P. in a new location for free.
• Alternatively, if the player decides not to place their C.A.M.P. in a new location, and instead joins a new world, their C.A.M.P. will be automatically placed back in its original location—as long as that spot is unoccupied.

Additional C.A.M.P., Crafting, and Workshop updates:

• C.A.M.P.: The percentage of a C.A.M.P.’s Budget that is being taken up by stored items and Blueprints will now appear in the Budget bar.

• Windmill: The power produced by the Windmill has been increased from 3 to 12.
• Workshops: Players can now purchase Atomic Shop items directly from the Workshop menu.

Progression
NEW – SPECIAL Re-speccing:

• Every time a player levels-up after level 50, they can now choose whether to unlock a new Perk Card or transfer one previously allocated SPECIAL point from one category to another.
• This change is not retroactive for characters that have already progressed beyond level 50 but will apply to every level-up they achieve going forward.
• If a player chooses to reallocate a SPECIAL point on leveling-up, they will be unable to select a new Perk Card for that level, and vice-versa.
• Re-speccing details have also been added to the “Perks” section of the in-game Help menu.
