As more players download Fallout 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.

7 Invaders From Beyond

Take On Alien Invaders

Alien Blaster Plan & Mods
Alien Disintegrator Plan & Mods
Electro-Enforced Plan & Mods
Alien-themed CAMP Items

Invaders From Beyond has been a recurring event in Fallout 76 for 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.

6 Mothman Equinox

Become One With The Mothman

XP Buffs
Mothman-Themed CAMP Items
Cultist Outfits
Goody Bag

Fallout 76 encourages players to join in and celebrate the Mothman Equinox event by 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.

5 Spooky Scorched

Kill Spooky Scorched

Legendary Items
Rare CAMP Plans
Rare Weapon Plans
Rare Armor Plans

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 will drop 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.

4 Festive Scorched

A Festive Treat

Holiday Junk
Rare Taxidermy Plan
Rare CAMP Plans
Collectible Outfits
Legendary Items

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.

3 Meat Week

Grahm Stands Still For Once

Rare CAMP Plans
Rare Outfits
The Pepper Shaker Weapon Plan
The Tenderizer Plan

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.

Fallout 76 Pepper Shaker Legendary Weapon on CAMP Display Rack

How to create and use an endgame build for one of Fallout 76’s most unique weapons, the pepper shaker heavy weapon-shotgun hybrid.

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 and legendary Scrip every hour.

2 Treasure Hunter Event

Hunt Mole Miners

Rare Player Plans
Junk Components
Ammo
Scrip
Legendary Items

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 enjoy crafting legendary weapons as 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.

1 Fasnacht Day

Merry Fasnacht!

0.333% Chance Of A Specific Rare Mask

Love it or hate it, the Fasnacht event is by far the most popular seasonal event in Fallout 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.

From the BOS Jumpsuit to the Leather Coat, these are the rarest apparel items in Fallout 76.

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 of Fallout 76.
