Daily Fallout 76 Briefing - February 03, 2026
Mothman Equinox is still live and the Love Hurts Mini Season kicks off at today's reset, alongside a Decryption Daily Op in The Burning Mine and fresh daily/weekly challenges.
Active Events Today
- Mothman Equinox - active until
- Actionable: Watch for the hourly public event at Point Pleasant (join via the map when it pops) for easy XP, loot, and challenge progress.
- Love Hurts Mini Season - starts and runs until
- Actionable: After reset, check the Event/Season challenges so you can start banking progress immediately.
Today's Daily Ops
Active: →
- Mode: Decryption
- Location: The Burning Mine
- Enemy: Super Mutants
- Mutations: Savage Strike, Volatile
Quick tips
- Volatile: Don't face-tank kills-back up before the last shots land; explosive resistance (e.g., Fireproof/Dense) helps.
- Savage Strike: Expect hits to hurt; prioritize staying mobile, using cover, and running a sustain weapon (e.g., Vampire's) or strong healing.
Today's Daily Challenges
Resets at:
- (Fallout 1st) Scrap junk to produce Springs (5)
- ⭐ Gold Star: Complete a Daily Challenge (6)
- Complete the Event: "The Mothman Equinox"
- Consume any Chems (2)
- Eat a Cake, Pie, or Candy (10)
- Kill a Mole Miner (10)
- Kill a Mole Rat (5)
- Scrap junk to produce Antiseptic (5)
Concrete completion hints
- Springs (5): Loot-and-scrap battered clipboards (great in Camp McClintock / Sugar Grove) and junk like alarm clocks/typewriters; scrapping a Giddyup Buttercup also pays out springs.
- Mothman Equinox completion: If the event looks under-populated, server hop right before the top of the hour and join the busiest instance you can find.
- Chems (2): Easiest: pop RadAway/Rad-X (including diluted) or any common combat chem you already carry.
- Cake/Pie/Candy (10): "Cake" can be as simple as Fancy Lads Snack Cakes; candy is often available from player CAMP candy bowls if you're short.
- Mole Miners (10): Fast routes: Welch → Mount Blair Trainyard (or Blackwater Mine if you prefer an interior clear).
- Mole Rats (5): Reliable spawns include Green Country Lodge and areas south of Flatwoods; some events (like Tea Time) also spawn them.
- Antiseptic (5): Scrap junk such as Abraxo Cleaner, Turpentine, Toothpaste, and (Tick) Blood Sacs.
