Active Events Today
P.R.O.T.E.C.T Protocol - Community Challenge
June 7 – June 15, 2026
The P.R.O.T.E.C.T Protocol Community Challenge is ongoing — keep clearing Infestations across Appalachia to push the server toward the 500,000 target and earn the Brotherhood Protector Power Armor reward before June 15.
Mutated Public Events
June 9 – June 16, 2026
Mutated Public Events begin today at and run through Tuesday June 16 reset. Public Events across Appalachia now have a chance to spawn with random mutations that increase difficulty and boost rewards — directly relevant to today's daily challenge and three weekly challenges.
Minerva (List 14) at Crater — Last Full Day
June 8 – June 10, 2026
Minerva wraps up at The Crater at Wednesday noon ET reset — today is your last full day to shop List 14 plans before she moves on. Full inventory in the Minerva section below.
Today's Daily Ops
| Mode | Decryption |
| Location | Charleston Capitol Building |
| Enemies | Blood Eagles |
| Mutations | Savage Strike, Swift-Footed |
Mutation breakdown:
- Savage Strike: Enemies deal increased melee damage — Blood Eagles that close to melee range hit significantly harder than normal, so keep them at range throughout.
- Swift-Footed: Enemies move at increased speed — Blood Eagles rush the objective faster than their baseline, so securing a choke point before triggering the decryption sequence is critical.
Strategy: Decryption mode requires locating the objective terminal and defending it through the decryption sequence against incoming enemy waves. Charleston Capitol Building's multi-floor layout has several doorways and stairwells — identify a chokepoint near the terminal to funnel Swift-Footed Blood Eagles rather than fighting in open corridors. Blood Eagles are a human faction using ballistic weapons and grenades, so armor with explosive resistance is helpful. Pre-clear the room around the terminal before activating it, then hold the nearest entrance to prevent enemies from flanking the objective.
Today's Daily Challenges
| Challenge | SCORE |
|---|---|
| Gold Star: Complete a Daily Challenge (x6) | 1000 |
| Build a Decoration in a Workshop or C.A.M.P. in Free Cam (x5) | 250 |
| Destroy a Robot (x10) | 250 |
| Collect RadAway or Rad-X (x5) | 250 |
| Complete a Mutated Public Event | 250 |
| Cripple a Human's Head (x2) | 250 |
| Kill a Mutated Enemy (x10) | 250 |
| Mod an Energy Weapon | 250 |
| Scrap junk to produce Ballistic Fiber (x3) | 250 |
Quick completion tips:
- Gold Star: Complete a Daily Challenge (x6): Complete any six of the other eight dailies — chaining the Mutated Public Event, Kill a Mutated Enemy, and Cripple a Human's Head challenges together in one event run knocks out three at once.
- Build a Decoration in a Workshop or C.A.M.P. in Free Cam (x5): Enter Free Cam mode (hold the CAMP placement button until you enter the free-placement view) and place five decorations — candles, paintings, or rugs all count. Placing in a Shelter also works.
- Destroy a Robot (x10): Protectrons, Assaultrons, Mr. Handys, and Robobrains all count. Watoga (Protectron and Assaultron street patrols), RobCo Research Center, and West Tek are reliable spots for 10 quick robot kills.
- Collect RadAway or Rad-X (x5): Loot first aid kits, medicine cabinets, and military footlockers. AVR Medical Center, Morgantown Airport medical tents, and Pleasant Valley Ski Resort's medical areas yield high densities.
- Complete a Mutated Public Event: Mutated Public Events launched today — participate in any Public Event that spawns with the mutated modifier. This simultaneously counts toward the Weekly "Complete a Mutated Public Event (x3)."
- Cripple a Human's Head (x2): Target the head in VATS on any human enemy (Raiders, Blood Eagles, Fanatics). A single heavy rifle shot or sniper round to the head is the fastest method; today's Decryption Daily Ops against Blood Eagles also applies.
- Kill a Mutated Enemy (x10): Any enemy tagged as "mutated" in VATS counts — Mutated Public Events running today produce mutated enemies alongside the event completion challenge, making both completable in a single event.
- Mod an Energy Weapon: Apply any mod at a weapons workbench to any laser, plasma, or gauss weapon — one mod application on any energy weapon completes this. This also counts toward the Weekly "Mod an Energy Weapon (x5)."
- Scrap junk to produce Ballistic Fiber (x3): Ballistic Fiber scraps from Military Grade Duct Tape, Ballistic Fiber scraps, and Military Ammo Bags. Fort Defiance, Camp McClintock, and Watoga military containers are consistent sources.
Weekly Challenges
| Challenge | Reward |
|---|---|
| Complete a Gold Star Daily Challenge! (x3) | 1500 SCORE |
| Repeatable Under Rank 100: Gain XP (x10000) | 100 SCORE |
| Repeatable at Rank 100 or above: Complete a Public Event (x3) | 300 SCORE |
| Build a Decoration in a Shelter (x15) | 1000 SCORE |
| Collect Pre-war Food (x20) | 1000 SCORE |
| Collect RadAway or Rad-X (x15) | 1000 SCORE |
| Collect Soap (x14) | 1000 SCORE |
| Complete a Mutated Public Event (x3) | 1000 SCORE |
| Cripple a Human's Head (x25) | 1000 SCORE |
| Kill a Mutated Enemy (x30) | 1000 SCORE |
| Mod an Energy Weapon (x5) | 1000 SCORE |
| Scrap junk to produce Glass (x30) | 1000 SCORE |
Quick completion hints:
- Complete a Gold Star Daily Challenge! (x3): Earn the daily Gold Star on three separate reset days this week — today's challenge set has multiple stackable tasks that make all six easily completable in a single play session.
- Build a Decoration in a Shelter (x15): Enter a Shelter and place 15 decoration items — candles, rugs, wall art, and furniture all count. Batch-placing in one session is faster than returning daily. Note this is distinct from the daily challenge (which requires Free Cam in a Workshop or CAMP).
- Collect Pre-war Food (x20): Pre-war food items (Sugar Bombs, Pork n' Beans, Cram, Salisbury Steak) spawn in kitchens, diners, and offices. Whitespring Resort kitchen zones and the Mire's abandoned homes are consistent high-density sources.
- Collect RadAway or Rad-X (x15): Overlaps with today's daily (x5) — farm medical cabinets and first aid kits at AVR Medical Center, hospital zones, and military camps to knock out both at once.
- Collect Soap (x14): Soap spawns in bathrooms and kitchen areas of residential buildings. Whitespring Resort suites, Flatwoods houses, and Morgantown residential streets are the most efficient routes.
- Complete a Mutated Public Event (x3): Mutated Public Events are live today through June 16 — run three mutated events across the week. Today's daily challenge "Complete a Mutated Public Event" counts as one completion toward this weekly.
- Cripple a Human's Head (x25): Today's Decryption Daily Ops at Charleston Capitol Building (Blood Eagles) is an efficient source — VATS-targeting heads throughout the run stacks meaningful progress. Any human faction enemy counts.
- Kill a Mutated Enemy (x30): Overlaps with today's daily (x10). Mutated Public Events running all week produce mutated enemies — farming events daily will clear this well before the weekly reset.
- Mod an Energy Weapon (x5): Today's daily "Mod an Energy Weapon" counts as one. Return to a weapons workbench on up to four additional days this week and apply any available mod to an energy weapon to finish the five.
- Scrap junk to produce Glass (x30): Glass scraps from Nuka-Cola bottles, wine bottles, Empty Bottles, and Glass Jars. Kitchen and bar areas at Whitespring Resort and along the Forest highway corridor yield large quantities of glass-bearing junk.
