Fallout 76 Update - New Cryptids appear Once in a Blue Moon

In the Fallout 76 universe post-apocalyptic Appachalia is chalk full of some of our favorite cryptids. From the elusive Mothman to the alien-like Flatwoods Monster, you can trek across the land to have encounters with some creatures of real life myth and even use Photomode to make sure you have evidence of the encounter with decorative frames. Bethesda’s game dev’s seem to be really aiming to please the cryptid lovers among us playing through the “Rip Daring and the Cryptid Hunt” scoreboard, as we just received news in the last few days about two new cryptids that are being introduced in the next upcoming update on April 18th. I know as something of a cryptid lover myself I’m really excited to see these two new introductions to the family in-game, so here we’re going to look a little closer at the information we have on them so far and what else we’re getting in the update.

Yesterday, April 13th, Bethesda announced that with the “Once in a Blue Moon” update this Summer 2023 we will see the introduction of two new cryptids to the Fallout 76 family. Along with the two new cryptids we will also be getting a new Daily Ops mutation, public events, rewards, side quests and more (depending on how long you’ve been hunting in post-apocalyptic Appalachia).

For daily quests specifically Bethesda has said that we’ll be getting a series of 7 quests that can only be completed once, listed as the “Costa Business Daily Quests” in their announcement. They appear to all be based around the Blue Ridge Caravan Company and Vinny Costa’s desire to get his employees to perform better. With them being one off quests they are going to be giving unique Blue Ridge Caravan themed rewards, ranging from C.A.M.P items to apparel for your hunter to sport in their travels. Bethesda also seems to be hinting that for long time players of Fallout 76 that completing all of these “Costa Daily Business Quests” may then grant the player access to a special side quest. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to specify how far back a player has to have completed content from to gain access to the special quest once they are done with Costa Business, so we may have to wait to find that out once players have early access.

There are also two other possible side quests listed in the announcement, “Safe and Sound” and “Beasts of Burden”. While both appear to be dealing with sects of people settling in our in-game Appalachia that are relevant to the new update, they appear to be totally separate from the Daily Costa Business Quests.

The first possible quest, “Beasts of Burden”, is described as Vinny Costa’s nephew, Luca, finding himself in a spot of trouble when the local Cultists steal his Brahman and his explosive cargo - and he knows that Vinny will be unhappy if he hears about it. When we go about helping him it sounds like we have the Cultists to thank oddly enough for being aware of the “strange rumblings in the woods nearby” and knowing not to disturb the wildlife.

On the other hand we have the quest “Safe and Sound” which deals more primarily with the other major group of players in our update, the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. In this possible side quest we see the Middle Mountain Cabins renovated by Blue Ridge as their newest Braman pit-stop. Unfortunately, they have trouble keeping the local wildlife at bay because their Repeller Speaker system has been damaged. To help them retake the pit-stop we’re tasked with helping to clear out the pests and defending the Repeller, with a reward from Blue Caravan of course for the assist.

Even with the introduction of two new cryptids into the family Bethesda is also making sure to give some love to one of the best known cryptids already in the gang, our resident Mothman. Starting April 25th (12:00pm Eastern Time) until May 9th (12:00pm Eastern Time) we’ll have the “Path to Enlightenment'' event to participate in at the top of every hour. For anyone who doesn’t already have them, the rewards for the event will include the Cultists Intricate Helmet, the Wise Mothman Throne, and more Mothman themed rewards. I know I’ll be making sure my camp is themed well after “the Winged One” as Stephen Scarberry would say.

Last, but most certainly not least, let’s get into our two new cryptids and what we know about them so far. The first of the two new cryptids that we see in the announcement is the “Blue Devil”. In description with, “glowing eyes”, “hooked claws”, a “long muzzle” and “glistening needle-like teeth” and the Blue Devil seems to be a werewolf, so we may need to start paying more attention to the moon cycle in-game if they hold true to real world lore. I’m guessing that we’ll see the Devil in the more forested areas of the map, based on the image provided so far, and I for one am looking forward to my first werewolf encounter.

Our second new cryptid inductee to the game has been dubbed “The Ogua” by Bethesda. The encounter described in the announcement in the Cranberry Glade indicates that it appears to blend in with its environment, so while it may stand out some, it will look like we’ve come across a strange rock until we interact with it. Once it’s up and going the Ogua looks almost dinosaur-like with the rocky spines on its back and is described as five times a vault-dweller's height while sporting a hooked beak. While Bethesda may be right that curiosity killed the Atom Cat, the Ogua may find that satisfaction brought it back.

Unfortunately, some of us may have to wait a bit before we get our claws on the new content in the game. Bethesda does not appear to list a specific date for the content in the “Once in a Blue Moon” update to be available to everyone on every platform in their announcement, but it seems like it could be assumed that it would be in June when Season 13, Shoot for the Stars starts, is launched based on the information on the Community Calendar. Anyone who has a copy of Fallout 76 on Steam will be lucky enough to be able to get a jump start in their adventure though starting April 20th through the Public Test Server. More information on how to add yourself to the PTS if you aren’t already on it can be found in Bethesda's official announcement here. You can also check out the Community Calendar, if you haven't seen it already here, for more information on specific perks for each week in June when Season 18 starts. Until then happy Cryptid hunting vault dwellers!

#FlashbackFriday to DragonCon 2013 and this fantastic photo taken by @testedcom My partner and I were both enamored with Fallout 3. He cosplayed as the Vault 77 dweller (the puppet master) and I cosplayed as the terminally optimistic Ghoul Moira. Also this was my first silicone mask. It was a disaster on pretty much every level, but an extremely educational experience. I like to think I’ve improved since then 😊 #fallout #fallout3 #wasteland #vaultboy #vaultdweller #vault77 #moira #ghoul #ghoulmoira #cosplay #costume #dragoncon #tested #makeup #art #videogames #zombie #radioactive #apocalypse #mask #nerds #thefamilythatcosplaystogetherstaystogether https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5CrA2OOIy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

❝ ANSWERS ❞

Vault 62, DC, Capital Wasteland

Aug 7, 2288, 1700

— “HOW ON EARTH COULD RIOT GO MISSING IN A VAULT?” Heartley’s mother questioned, shaking her head as she dissected something that looked vaguely like a brain. Heartley decided she wasn’t going to stare at it much. Instead, she sat at her mother’s desk, spinning around and around in the desk chair. That was most of what she did working with her mom.

“I dunno, but Alec was a massive dick about it. He hit Scout,” She explained. The incident had only been an hour ago, and it was still fresh in her mind.

Her mother glanced up at her, eyes wide. “He what?”

“He punched Scout in the face and made his nose bleed,” Heartley reiterated, spinning around in a circle. “Made Simon cry, too, I’m pretty sure. Disappeared after Alec blabbed about his mom.”

“Good grief,” The woman in the lab coat sighed, picking at the floppy pink thing on her table. “What a massive man child. If only he wasn’t our leader. Corrupted leadership is a definite way to destroy a group like the Enclave.”

Heartley huffed. “Why won’t he just believe us when we say we don’t know?”

Her mother shrugged from her spot, focused on her dissecting. “You guys aren’t exactly the most popular people in the vault. And, no offense, but Scout, Riot, and Chicago are pretty sketchy. I would understand why he didn’t believe you.”

“But Tuesday runs with us, and he’s, like, more morally upright than most adults in this place,”

“He’s also a teenager. Teenagers are fickle and unpredictable. And really good at hiding things.”

Heartley groaned like a child, tilting her head back against the back of the chair. “I mean, I’m glad you and Alec got all happy-slappy and had me, but I hate him on literally every other level.”

“Me, too.” Her mother stated simply. She poked at the brain a few more times.

“I’m… slightly worried for the answer, but I must ask: why are you playing patty-cake with someone’s brain?” Heartley questioned, scrunching her nose as she focused too hard on the gross, floppy thing across the room.

“It’s for Courser studies, honey,” Her mother sighed. “Oh, by the way, Dr. Jones stopped by for an evening check over. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that, would you?”

Heartley shrugged. “I just… uh, you deserve to be happy, mom.” She deadpanned.

“No, you were trying to get your hands on Tuesday and Simon. I wasn’t born yesterday,” Her mom chuckled. “I don’t mind his company, but it would at least be nice if I got a little warning.”

“Sorry,” Heartley snickered. But her smile quickly faded into a blank stare, and she continued: “…mom?”

At the change of tone, her mother looked up and paused what she was doing. “What is it, baby?”

Heartley spun slightly, pulling at her vibrant red curls. “Do you think Riot’s dead? He has a lot of people in here that don’t like him.”

“Oh, honey…” Her mother cooed, dropping her tools and peeling off her gloves, heading over to the desk Heartley was sitting at. She seemed troubled, deep in thought and calculative with her words. “I… I wish I had an answer for you. The best I have is… I don’t know.”

Heartley may have been two years shy of Riot’s age, but she could remember meeting him when she was ten. That’s when they got moved into the vault, when their little friend group formed because they were the only nine kids in the whole place. She remembered sitting in the boring classroom with him, flipping pencils back and forth when the teacher wasn’t looking. She remembered when they were thirteen and fifteen, and he gave her her first cigarette. (She almost died.) He started drug dealing with they were fourteen and sixteen, and she always covered for him because he wasn’t sly back then. She had her first kiss with him when they were seventeen and nineteen — something she didn’t necessarily regret but definitely wouldn’t do again.

She knew everyone had their memories with him: Markus, Scout, Chicago, Mercury, Jericho, Tuesday, and Simon. They all loved him like a brother. A sketchy, drug-dealing brother, but a brother nonetheless. A brother that might be dead.

Heartley’s mother rubbed her shoulder gently. “Riot is resourceful. If he got out of the vault, like Alec thinks, he’ll survive.”

Heartley shook her head. “I don’t think he left, mom. I think someone killed him.”

Her mother stiffened. “Honey…”

“If the vault door opened there would’ve been sirens and lights and crap. And there wasn’t anything. Unless he climbed out through a hole somewhere, there’s no way out without alerting literally everyone inside. I don’t know why I didn’t realize that earlier…” Heartley trailed off, looking down at her lap. “I think he’s dead, mom.”

“Don’t jump to conclusions, sweetheart, it isn’t good for your mind,” She stated, brushing a hand through Heartley’s hair. “He could be hiding for whatever reason. He’ll probably come out of hiding and tell one of you guys what’s going on soon enough.”

Heartley sighed, rising from the chair. “I’m going to bed.”

“Okay, hon. Come get me if you need me, okay?”

Heartley nodded, and her mother gave her a quick peck on the cheek before she left the lab and headed toward the residential sector.

Surely Alec realized the lights and alarms would’ve gone off if the door was opened. Was he hiding something?

As she thudded down the stairs, she caught sight of Simon, by himself, in the medbay, cleaning. She took a quick detour and drifted up into the doorframe, leaning against the metal without him noticing.

“…You okay?”

He flinched, but when his eyes landed on her, his expression softened. He wasn’t even pretending to hide the dullness in his eyes. He had his lab coat on even though he was alone.

“Yeah,” He replied, turning back around and silently organizing supplies in the drawers of a starkly-clean worktop. She bit the inside of her cheek and sucked in a breath.

“I’m really sorry about your mom. I had no idea,” Heartley said softly, fiddling with her fingers a bit.

“It’s fine,” He murmured, not peeling his eyes away from the supplies ahead of him. “It was a long time ago.”

She tapped her fingers against her thighs, turning and pushing the button that shut the door of the medbay. Simon turned and looked at her in confusion.

“Where do you think Riot actually is?” She deadpanned.

Simon sighed, shrugging. “I don’t have a clue. Did you hear that Alec put out a vault-wide message about him? Showed up on my dads terminal earlier.”

“Yeah, my mom got it in her lab. Pretty funny that he labeled him ‘DNI, potentially dangerous’.” Heartley stated, glancing down. “Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks he… maybe…”

“Made a few too many enemies? I hate to admit it, but it’s been floating around in the back of my mind, too,” He said slowly, leaning lightly against one of the rolling stretchers.

“Yeah…” Heartley muttered. “If he left the vault, there would be-“

“Alarms and stuff? Yeah, I thought about that when Alec was taking out his pent up anger on us,” Simon ran a hand through his dark hair, huffing. “Scout usually knows where Riot is even if he goes dark to the rest of us. And the fact that Scout doesn’t know worries me.”

Riot did have a habit of going dark. He had ever since they entered the vault. Scout always knew why and where, but he didn’t this time, which made it all the worse. Made Heartley and Simon’s deepest, darkest assumptions feel a little closer to reality.

“You know, we could… check the security terminal. See if the vault door was opened recently or not. Check if they have any files on Riot…”

Simon glanced up at her, creasing his brow. “You want to break in to the security office?”

She shifted. “No, I want answers. How I get them is different. At least if we know the door hasn’t been opened then he has to be inside.”

Simon ran a hand through his hair again. “How do you expect us to do that? Security is riddled with Coursers.”

“We just need to get them out of the room for a little bit, not slay them like Grognak. There are plenty of ways to do that.”

Simon snorted. “Like what?”

Heartley threw her arms up. “Like, we could blow something up.”

“With what?”

“Or we could… cause a power outage,”

“And shut off the terminal we need?”

“We can… poison them all!”

“If you want to be a spy, go ahead,” Simon chuckled. “But I just thought of a fool-proof way to get them running wherever we want.”

Heartley put her hands on her hips, raising a skeptical eyebrow. “And what’s that?”

—

Bela Devaroux, in all her black bob and blue eyed glory, pounded on the security room door at the front of the vault with as much urgent force as she could muster. It was night, ten pm on a Thursday, so the squad inside was short by two. “Hey! Hey!”

The metal door slid open, revealing two men in a white security uniform like Jackson Hannigan. There was a third, a Courser in the back corner, waiting for orders like an attack dog.

“What do you need, lady?”

“I just saw- I just saw Riot Kildare! And he had… he had a gun and… and something that looked like a bomb! Going into the residential sector! Please!” Bela’s bright blue eyes were wide and brimming at the bottom with fear as she pointed. “Please, I’m scared he’s gonna hurt people!”

The guards looked at one another skeptically. “Look, are you sure it was him?”

“Yes, I’m sure, he’s one of my regulars!” She shouted, sounding almost crazed. “Please, please, go!”

The security officers shared another glance, until the one at the door finally muttered. “Come on, Z9. Stay here until we come back, ma’am.”

The three of them jogged past a frantic Bela, heading back toward the Atrium. Once their footsteps echoed away, the girl snickered and cocked a hip, glancing at her nails. “Too easy.”

Heartley and Simon drifted out of the shadows, and Heartley handed Bela a bag of caps. “Thanks, you’re the best.”

Bela took the bag and weighed it slightly. “Hey, I’m doing it for Riot. I hope you find out where he is.”

Heartley smiled lightly, and Bela did, too, disappearing back into the main area of the vault. Simon nudged Heartley’s shoulder.

“Go. I’m sure they won’t leave this place empty for long,”

Heartley, without a reply, walked into the security room, steel gray eyes bouncing from the lockers, to the row of desks, to the terminal that sat on a nearby table.

“You better know how to unlock this thing,” She stated, crossing her arms as Simon hunched over the terminal in his lab coat.

“Trust me, terminal security is not the most secure thing in the world. A kid could break it if they payed enough attention to the words,” He replied. “It might take a minute, though.”

Heartley sighed, walking around the small security room, glancing at the empty coffee cups and clipboards that sat around. She wondered if Coursers drank coffee.

After a high-pitched, happy beep echoed through the room, Simon stated: “I’m in.”

Heartley drifted up by Simon’s side, bumping her shoulder against his. “That took way less than a minute.”

“Just preparing you for the worst,” He snickered. Heartley glanced down at the terminal screen ahead of them. There were four separate categories.

[INCIDENT LOGS]

[VAULT ACCESS LOGS]

[OPEN EVACUATION TUNNEL]

[MANUAL DOOR OVERRIDE]

Simon quickly navigated down to the Vault Access logs, clicking the file open. A blur of green words danced across the screen.

VAULT OPENED - 8/22/2077

VAULT SEALED - 8/22/2077

VAULT OPENED - 4/12/2217

VAULT SEALED - 2/1/2278

Heartley’s heart sunk as she scanned the worlds, and Simon sucked in a sudden breath.

“2278 was ten years ago, when we arrived. It… hasn’t been opened since then. Since they closed us in,”

Heartley stood up straight and ran a hand through her hair. That meant Riot was inside. Which meant, the odds of him having been killed raised exponentially. She got kind of dizzy thinking about it.

“But that… doesn’t mean he’s dead,” Simon clarified, backing out of the logs on the terminal. “He’s probably just… hiding. Or something. Riot’s weird.”

Heartley nodded in response even though he wasn’t looking at her. He navigated to the Incident Logs and opened them, and a huge list of names popped up. People who’d been put in confinement, she supposed. It was no surprise most of her friend group was at the top.

SCOUT BANELLI RIOT KILDARE TUESDAY JONES CHICAGO DUNBAR JERICHO AVANS BELA DEVAROUX JOHNNY HAILEN SANDY DEANGELO JUNE HOLLAND

She scrunched her nose. “Tuesday was in confinement?”

Is that how he knew Scout was, too?

Simon had the same look on his face. “I didn’t know he got in trouble. He’s like, the epitome of best-behavior.”

He clicked on the most recent file, Scout’s, and an entry almost ten pages long appeared.

“Geez, Scout sure has his hands dirty,” Simon stated, clicking all the way to the end for the most recent infringement.

8/5/2288

SCOUT BANELLI AND TUESDAY JONES WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AT 0300 HOURS FOR THE ALLEGED ASSAULT AND BATTERY OF SCOUT’S FATHER, HENRY BANELLI. HE SUFFERED SEVERAL BLOWS TO THE HEAD AND TORSO. TUESDAY IS TO BE RELEASED AT 0800 HOURS ON THE SAME DAY, SCOUT IS TO BE RELEASED AT 1200 HOURS AFTER TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS IN CONFINEMENT. NO FURTHER ACTIONS ARE TO BE TAKEN REGARDING THIS CASE.

Heartley quickly scanned the file. “Why didn’t they tell us?”

“Because Tuesdays scared,” Simon stated simply. “He’s never gotten in trouble before. Saying our fathers reaction would be catastrophic would be putting it lightly.”

“Does he think we’ll tattle?”

“No,” He huffed, backing out of the file and clicking on Tuesday’s. It had the exact same message on the screen. “He’s just afraid to tell anybody. Don’t know why I’d be included in that.”

She could hear the annoyance building in his tone as he backed out of the file and clicked on Riot’s. He also had a hefty amount of pages, so Simon navigated to the most recent one.

8/3/2288

RIOT KILDARE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AT 2100 HOURS FOR THE ALLEGED ASSAULT AND BATTERY OF DR. LEANNE HATHAWAY. SHE SUFFERED MINOR BLOWS TO THE HEAD AND TORSO. RIOT IS TO BE RELEASED AT 1200 HOURS AFTER ONE DAY IN CONFINEMENT.

“Uh, Heartley?” Simon questioned. As she finished reading the report, she leaned forward against the desk to read it again.

“Riot beat up my mom? And she didn’t say anything?” She questioned, brown knitted together in the center.

“She probably didn’t want you to be mad at him.”

“Why in the world would he do that?”

“Could’ve been high, I guess,”

Heartley huffed. “Riot doesn’t get high anymore, only Scout.”

“Could’ve relapsed,” Simon suggested, clicking off the file and navigating down to Chicago’s.

8/1/2288 CHARLIE “CHICAGO” DUNBAR WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AT 2300 HOURS FOR THE USE OF ILLEGAL PRE-WAR CIGARETTES INSIDE OF THE VAULT. SHE IS TO BE RELEASED AT 1200 HOURS ON THE SAME DAY.

“Too bad. I always thought Scout or Riot would be the one that got caught with cigarettes,” Simon hummed, backing out and clicking on Jericho’s, hopefully more interesting, file.

8/4/2288

JERICHO AVANS WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AT 0100 HOURS FOR CAUSING A DISTURBANCE ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE ATRIUM. HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS WHEN TAKEN TO CONFINEMENT, AND STAYED THAT WAY UNTIL HIS RELEASE AT 1200 HOURS THE NEXT DAY. WE WERE UNABLE TO GET A TESTIMONIAL FROM HIM OR ANYBODY ELSE ON THE DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT.

“That’s not vague at all,” Heartley snickered, running a hand through her hair. “So now we know that Riot has to be inside the vault, and that he supposedly tried to beat up my mom a couple days ago. I’d be lying if I said any of this makes his disappearance clearer.”

“Yeah, I feel you,” Simon replied, backing out of the terminal and locking it back up. “C’mon, let’s get out of here before-“

“Before someone sees what you’re up to?”

Both Heartley and Simon flinched, whirling around to face the door. Heartley hoped it was a trick, that it was one of their friends prancing them, but when her eyes met the ugly, dark ones of Jackson Hannigan, SRB Head of Security, all hope died in her veins.

The man chuckled coldly. “Looks like we’ll be adding two more names to those reports, huh?”

Marcus was crouched sneaking up on one of the twins. He was going to pickpocket them. He didn't like the thought of it but he needed the caps. He looked like a normal vault dweller besides having cat ears and cat tail. Now he was close enough to pickpocket them. So he tried too.

Fallout - Sole Survivor and X6 (revisited) This time did a bit more during "revisit" than re-colour. Also used a sneaky tactic during progress and asked feedback from a Bethesda employee, who did make me re-do it in parts. Had to change background for one from falloutastically orange to more contrast as well have it a bit more vibrant. Those, who know me (or seen my patterns here) can guess that next should be Assassins Creed and likely one with Shay. Yeah... it is going to be a Templar, but instead 2022 revisit I am going way back. And no, its not Haytham either. I found an old work I had done with a mouse. I am curious to see if I have improved since... maybe. Shay's jump gets re-done too, but not next.

Fallout 76 - Mole Miners are back - A route to find them on and ways to farm Mole Miner Pails before they’re gone!

One thing most players of the game Fallout 76 likely have in common is a shared love for loot. From seasonal events that drop gear and plans only found within them to triggered events that come with event-specific rewards, there are tons of venues that players can take to rack up their loot, and some of the better in-game currencies. One of the best ones that can come up within a season though are the Treasure Hunter Mole Miners. Occasionally Bethesda will announce for a few days or weeks that players will be able to locate these NPC’s will show up around the map, and if you hunt them you can take their Mole Miner Pail. The pail can range from “dusty” or a lower tier, to “ornate” where you have a better chance at some of the rarer loot. You can also craft these pails during this time generally, as the NPC bot vendors will sell empty ones that a player can use with other scrap at a tinker bench to craft into one of these pails. For the rest of today, Sunday, it seems that we currently have Mole Miners running amok in Fallouts Appalachia and here we’ll talk about one of the easiest runs to find them on, how else you can leverage the in-game system to hoard pails for your use, and what all can be obtained from these elusive pails.

First things first, let’s talk about where and how you can find these sneaky moles. There are a bunch of locations on the map that you can go to and check for Mole Miners at, as they are known to spawn there when active. While you can find them at places all over the map, the run we are going to talk about here will keep you mostly in the center of the map, with a couple of outliers around the Ash Heap and the top-right corner of the map. As far as how you go about locating these miners, you’ll want to keep your ears open. When you are close to them you will hear what sounds like a radio frequency tuning in and out. As you get closer to the miner this noise will get louder until you should be able to hear the miner themselves and hopefully see them.

For this run of locations the best place to start is with one of our outliers in the top right-hand corner of the map, Wavy Willards. This abandoned water park can be hiding mole miners in a few places - the entrance in the corners, between rides and stands, as well as down in the tunnels below. After Wavy Willards the next stop on our tour is Bolton Green. This club can have Mole Miners spawn within the building, on the second and third floors, as well as outside next to the building or on the range to the side of the building. Next we’ll jump to our third location, Pleasant Valley Cabins. Throughout the halls of the various cabins left here you can often locate Mole Miners. It can be important to note that it’s worth exploring all the cabins, starting where you spawn in for the Cabins when you fast-travel to them and following the path all the way up the hill. While the exploration of this location in full can take a few minutes if you haven’t explored it often, there can sometimes be more than one miner between the cabins here, so it’s worth the time and effort. Next we’ll head to the National Isolated Radio Array. Similar to the cabins, with the National Isolated Radio Array you have a fair amount of distance and buildings to cover, between where you may spawn in and the array itself, but you can sometimes find multiple miners here if you check all the buildings out to the left of the array. After visiting the radio array you’ll head to West Tek. You’ll likely have to fight through the supermutants guarding the entrance, but there are often Mole miners that will spawn in this area, both near the doors to the West Tek building and the guarded entrance. Ending the locations in the center of the map is Huntersville. This location is down a little bit from West Tek on the center of the map. While the small block of Huntersville that you first enter is where you’ll typically find the mole miners here, there is a large group of supermutants that spawns here as well, so again be prepared for a fight if you run into them during your hunt. Lastly, our run ends at Camden Park, in the Ash Heap. When you enter the park there can be mole miners near the Dross Toss, back further near the bumper cars, as well as underneath the rollercoaster and back to the right of the vendor bot. This area shouldn’t take much time to explore and again there can be multiple that spawn here. One last point of note for hunting down miners, it does seem that they will respawn after some time in each of these locations, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t see any miners when you hit these spots, they may be there later.

Now we did say that you can buy empty versions of these pails to craft, didn’t we? These empty pails will appear in the Misc section for the vendor bots that you can purchase items from at train stations. Generally the vendor should have one each version of the pails empty, but sometimes you can get lucky and the vendor will have two of some empty pails. Each vendor bot should also have their own stack of them, so you can travel to multiple train stations and stock up on them if you have enough caps. One way that you can make the system work better for you here, if you aren't already aware, is by using the Hard Bargain perk card, so that you can get better buying prices on the empty pails. Unfortunately, the Super Duper perk does not work when crafting these, so you’ll only get as many as you purchased, but they can total up quickly if you’re buying them from multiple vendor bots! To craft a pail you’ll want to use a tinker bench and select the chest category to craft within. That category should let you craft any of the three pails that you might have the materials for.

Last, let’s talk about what you can get from the pails these treasure goblin-like creatures drop. There’s an array of things that you can get from them - scrap of various kinds, currency, ammo for the gun you have equipped when opening them and an assortment of usable items like healing items, grenades and drinks.You also have a chance with each pail to get a Treasure Hunter item. All of the treasure hunter items should have the same drop rate, though the chance to get treasure hunter items varies with each pail. Let’s cover what loot is included in the Treasure Hunter items pool first.
