Rip Daring vs Aliens C.A.M.P. Showdown
April 2 – April 27, 2026 Build and defend your C.A.M.P. against alien invaders as part of the Rip Daring seasonal tie-in. Plenty of time remains, but pair it with today's daily and weekly challenges to maximize your SCORE gains.
Mutated Public Events
April 7 – April 14, 2026 Mutated Public Events are active through on Tuesday. Every run counts toward both the daily challenge and the weekly "Complete a Mutated Public Event (x3)" — clear your weekly stack before it closes.
Gold Rush
April 9 – April 13, 2026 Gold Rush ends at tomorrow. Today is your last full day to turn in Treasury Notes for increased gold bullion. Head to a purveyor or stockpile notes before the Monday reset wipes the bonus.
Today's Daily Ops
| Mode | Uplink |
| Location | Vault 96 |
| Enemies | Fanatics |
| Mutations | Piercing Gaze, Resilient |
Mutation breakdown:
- Piercing Gaze — Enemies have enhanced detection and can spot and engage players through stealth; sneaky approaches are significantly less effective than normal.
- Resilient — Enemies regenerate health when not actively taking damage; any pause in your damage output gives them time to recover.
Strategy: Uplink mode requires maintaining position at objective terminals while Fanatic waves push in — don't chase enemies far from the uplink or you'll stall the upload timer. The Resilient mutation demands sustained, uninterrupted damage output, so high-fire-rate automatic weapons or any build that avoids long reload gaps are preferable. Focus one enemy fully before switching targets; spreading light damage across several Resilient enemies lets them all heal simultaneously and drags the run out.
Today's Daily Challenges
| Challenge | SCORE |
|---|---|
| Gold Star: Complete a Daily Challenge (x6) | 1000 |
| Drink Nuka-Cherry (x2) | 250 |
| Complete a Mutated Public Event | 250 |
| Cook Mole Rat Chunks (x3) | 250 |
| Cook a Meat-Based Meal (x5) | 250 |
| Craft a Grenade, Mine, or Thrown Weapon (x5) | 250 |
| Deal a Critical Hit to a Sentry Bot in VATS (x8) | 250 |
| Kill a Mole Rat (x5) | 250 |
Quick completion tips:
- Cook Mole Rat Chunks (x3) and Cook a Meat-Based Meal (x5) overlap — Mole Rat Chunks is a meat-based meal, so crafting it at a cooking station counts toward both simultaneously.
- Kill a Mole Rat (x5) chains directly into the cooking challenges; hunt Mole Rats in common dens (Grafton area, Pleasant Valley) to knock out all three in one loop.
- Complete a Mutated Public Event also advances the weekly "Complete a Mutated Public Event (x3)" challenge — get it done today while the event boost is still active.
- Craft a Grenade, Mine, or Thrown Weapon (x5) — craft the cheapest recipe you have unlocked; even basic frag grenades count toward all five.
