Today's Daily Ops
| Mode | Uplink |
| Location | Charleston Capitol Building |
| Enemies | Mothman Cultists |
| Mutations | Piercing Gaze, Danger Cloud |
Mutation breakdown:
- Piercing Gaze: Enemies can detect players through stealth — sneak-based positioning and Stealth Boy tactics are ineffective this run.
- Danger Cloud: A toxic cloud trails players dealing poison damage over time — stay mobile and avoid lingering in any one spot.
Strategy: Charleston Capitol Building is a multi-floor interior location; Uplink mode requires activating signal terminals while Mothman Cultists spawn in waves to interrupt progress. With Piercing Gaze active, enemies engage immediately regardless of stealth, so use direct combat builds and expect pressure from the start. Keep moving between terminal activations to stay ahead of Danger Cloud's poison tick — complete each terminal quickly, then reposition. Fire and energy damage both perform well against Mothman Cultists.

- Kill a Blood Eagle (x30): Blood Eagles are concentrated in the Ash Heap and Cranberry Bog; the Converted Munitions Factory area and Lewisburg have consistent spawns.
- Kill a Super Mutant (x30): Super Mutants cluster at Huntersville, Grafton Steel Mill, and the Savage Divide — server-hop to reset spawns if camps are cleared.
- Mod an Energy Weapon (x5): Apply any mod to an energy weapon at a Weapons Workbench — laser pistols and plasma guns have inexpensive early mods using common components.
- Scrap junk to produce Circuitry (x15): High-tech junk like biometric scanners, sensor modules, and alarm clocks yield circuitry; the Whitespring Bunker area and RobCo Research Center are reliable tech-junk sources.

Updates
Fallout 76 Update Notes – April 21, 2026 (Patch 67)
Patch 67 (Version 1.7.24.12) deployed today with a sweeping armor durability overhaul — armor now degrades based on damage actually mitigated rather than raw damage taken, meaning gear lasts significantly longer in most combat situations. Explosive damage also received changes so blasts retain more damage when not directly hitting targets, and multi-projectile weapons like the Gauss Shotgun should better penetrate high-resistance enemies.

NukaKnights published a complete build guide today for a Dom Pedro-focused Ghoul Bounty Hunter playstyle, timed alongside Patch 67's fix to Dom Pedro grip mods — Aligned and Stabilized grips now have their correct properties.
