Daily Fallout 76 Briefing - March 26, 2026
Today's Daily Ops send you into West Tek on Decryption duty against Super Mutants with Savage Strike and Danger Cloud mutations active.
Today's Daily Ops
| Mode | Decryption |
| Location | West Tek |
| Enemies | Super Mutants |
| Mutations | Savage Strike, Danger Cloud |
Mutation breakdown:
- Savage Strike: Enemies deal significantly increased melee damage — avoid letting Super Mutants close the gap
- Danger Cloud: Enemies release a toxic cloud on death — back away immediately after each kill to avoid standing in the lingering hazard
Strategy: West Tek's open research floors give you plenty of room to engage at range, which is ideal for both mutations today. Prioritize ranged builds and keep moving after kills to stay out of the Danger Cloud. Super Mutants with Savage Strike are lethal up close, so use doorframes and lab equipment as cover to force them into chokepoints where you can pick them off safely.
