As more players downloadFallout 76,the events are only going to get bigger. This article’s aim is to go through all the seasonal events in order of popularity and rewards.
7Invaders From Beyond
Take On Alien Invaders
Invaders From Beyond has been a recurring event inFallout 76for quite a while.While it does have its merits, overall, it isn’t a very well-liked event. Every time the event is live, players seem to struggle with game crashes, severe lagging, and other bugs that make the event difficult to complete.
When the event does work correctly, players will need to take out a total of 90 Alien enemies and four bosses and destroy three beacons. This is a fairly difficult event, as it is also a timed event. If the timer runs out, then the event fails.The event also takes lots of ammo to complete.While the game does get new rewards thrown in every now and again, they aren’t usually that popular. Perhaps this will change in the future, but for now, Invaders From Beyond takes last place.
6Mothman Equinox
Become One With The Mothman
Fallout 76encourages players to join in and celebrate theMothman Equinox eventby warding off hordes of aggressive cultists, dangerous deathclaws, and, of course, the Mothman. This event takes place in Point Pleasant, Home of the Mothman. It’s a fun event that even has its own weather type.
When active, the event covers the area in a dark mist. Incantations are chanted and players will need to keep enemies away from the three sacred pyres. This event can be challenging to complete. It requires lots of players to participate in order to complete it with all the pyres still active. But with a good team and a bit of effort, this can be quite a rewarding event.
5Spooky Scorched
Kill Spooky Scorched
As its name would suggest, this is a Halloween event. It isn’t like the events mentioned above, this doesn’t have a fixed location. Instead, Appalachia is overrun by Spooky Scorched. It’s up to the player to hunt down as many as possible and claim their goody bags. The Spooky Scorched will spawn all over the map. They are easy to find as the player will hear a spooky tune when one is nearby. They are also dressed up in strange, spooky outfits.
Once killed, a Spooky Scorched enemy willdrop a legendary item, mystery candy, and a Spooky Treat Bag. The legendary item is great for those hunting for Scrip. The mystery candy can be deposited in a bowl at the player’s CAMP to give out to fellow players. And the Spooky Treat Bag contains all sorts of cool things. Most players enjoy this event because of the rare plans. There’s a 15% chance that players will receive one of the rare plans when opening a Spooky Treat Bag.
4Festive Scorched
A Festive Treat
Festive Scorched works in the same way as Spooky Scorched; they just have different loot that players can get. This event takes place over the Christmas period, and players are encouraged to head out and kill as many of the Festive Scorched as possible. There is one big difference between the Festive Scorched and the Spooky Scorched: Festive Scorched drop gifts. The gift comes in three possible sizes: small, medium, and large.
As players can imagine, a large gift has the best chance of containing rare items. Just be sure to listen closely as a festive jingle will play when a Festive Scorched is near.Also, unlike the Spooky Treat Bags, players can actually buy gift wrap from robot vendors. This gift wrap can be crafted into Holiday Gifts. This is a way for players with a few extra Caps to get an extra chance at finding something nice.
3Meat Week
Grahm Stands Still For Once
Meat Week is a seasonal event that is hosted by everyone’s favorite Super Mutant, Grahm. This traveling merchant is cooking a feast and players need to help. This is one of the easiest events in the game to complete. Players need to harvest plants, gather animal intestines, and just help Grahm have a successful Meat Cook.
What makes this event really good is that there are multiple events every hour called Primal Cuts. These events allow players to collect Prime Meat. Prime Meat can be handed in during Grahm’s Cook Out for players to receive various buffs, including an XP buff andlegendary Scrip every hour.
2Treasure Hunter Event
Hunt Mole Miners
Similar to Spooky and Festive Scorched, this event centers around players hunting and killing a special enemy. For this event, that enemy is the Treasure Hunter Mole Miner. There will spawn everywhere. Players can hear them before they see them as an electrical interference sound will play. It gets louder the closer the player gets to the Treasure Hunter. These Mole Miners will drop a legendary item when killed. But more importantly, they will drop a Mole Miner Pail.
Just like the Festive Scorched, these come in three sizes: Dusty, Mole Miner Pail (Medium), and Ornate. Players have a chance to get a rare plan when opening a pail. They will also get ammo, some rare junk items, and a chance for some Scrip. This is the perfect event for those who enjoycrafting legendary weaponsas the extra Scrip will come in very handy. While players can buy empty pails from robot vendors, they aren’t able to get Scrip when opening them. Players can only get Scrip from Mole Miner Pails that have been looted off enemy bodies.
1Fasnacht Day
Merry Fasnacht!
Love it or hate it, the Fasnacht event is by far the most popular seasonal event inFallout 76.Based on the real-world event, Fasnacht Day takes place in the town of Helvetia. While it’s called Fasnacht Day, the event typically takes place over a couple of weeks.
The reason why this is the most popular event is because of the collectible masks that are up for grabs.Players have a tiny chance of getting a super rare mask after successfully completing the event. Players will need to help and then defend five festive robots while they parade around the town. The event itself is very easy. However, there is one downside. Lots of players tend to stand still. Players want to get their hands on these rare masks so badly that they will leave their characters spinning on a server to gain rewards while they are away. This makes the event a little harder for everyone who’s actually playing. But, putting the negative aside, this is by far the most popular seasonal event in all ofFallout 76.
