Active Events Today
Two Helpings of Meat Week
June 23 – July 7, 2026
Grahm's Meat-Cook fires every hour at Moonshiner's Shack just south of Vault 76 — push the progress bar past 75% for top-tier reward rolls including Legendary Modules and the Hog Splitter melee weapon. Primal Cuts events spawn map-wide every 15 minutes; turn in stacks of 5 Prime Meat for 5 Legendary Scrip per stack. Bigfoot has a chance to appear after Grahm's Meat-Cook completions — stay after the event timer ends.
Minerva's Big Sale (List 16)
June 25 – June 29, 2026
Minerva is at Whitespring Resort through Monday, June 29 — all Gold Bullion plans carry a 25% discount versus standard vendors. Three days remain on this Big Sale window. See the Minerva section below for her full inventory.
Seasonal Fish Run
June 25 – June 29, 2026
The Seasonal Fish Run continues through . Use this window to stack the Catch a Fish (x21) and Craft Fish Bits (x35) weekly challenges efficiently. Fish in the Mire or Toxic Valley for frequent rain to complete the Catch a Fish while it is Raining (x2) weekly — only 2 rainy catches required.
Today's Daily Ops
| Mode | Uplink |
| Location | Valley Galeria |
| Enemies | Blood Eagles |
| Mutations | Piercing Gaze, Active Camouflage |
Mutation breakdown:
- Piercing Gaze — Blood Eagles detect the player at a significantly increased range; stealth-based approaches will fail early as enemies engage before you have visual confirmation of their positions.
- Active Camouflage — Blood Eagles periodically turn invisible, shimmering briefly before fading; watch for heat-shimmer movement cues and use VATS to highlight hidden targets before they reach the uplink circle.
Strategy: In Uplink mode, stand within the uplink circle to upload data while defending against incoming Blood Eagle waves — drifting too far from the active uplink slows transmission progress. Active Camouflage combined with Piercing Gaze creates a lopsided situation where enemies detect you first and engage unseen; prioritize area-of-effect weapons such as grenade launchers, plasma grenades, or incendiary options to tag invisible enemies clustering near the uplink point. Blood Eagles occasionally use explosives, so Power Armor or high explosive resistance reduces burst damage during the heaviest waves.
Today's Daily Challenges
| Challenge | SCORE |
|---|---|
| Gold Star: Complete a Daily Challenge (x6) | 1000 |
| Build a Floor, Wall, or Roof in a Shelter in Free Cam (x10) | 250 |
| Build Anything in a Shelter in Free Cam (x10) | 250 |
| Collect or Scrap Coal (x5) | 250 |
| Complete the Event: "Grahm's Meat-Cook" | 250 |
| Cripple a Super Mutant's Arm (x2) | 250 |
| Kill a Mutant Hound (x3) | 250 |
| Scrap junk to produce Fertilizer (x5) | 250 |
Quick completion tips:
- Gold Star: Complete a Daily Challenge (x6): Finish any 6 of the 7 non-Gold-Star challenges to claim the full 1000 SCORE bonus.
- Build a Floor, Wall, or Roof in a Shelter in Free Cam (x10): Open your CAMP's Shelter, switch to Free Cam workshop mode, and build 10 floor, wall, or roof pieces — even the cheapest wood variants count. These builds simultaneously satisfy Build Anything in a Shelter in Free Cam (x10) below.
- Build Anything in a Shelter in Free Cam (x10): Covered by the floor/wall/roof challenge above — building 10 floor, wall, or roof items in Free Cam mode completes both challenges at the same time.
- Collect or Scrap Coal (x5): Coal chunks are found throughout the Ash Heap — check mine entrances and coal seam deposits near Mount Blair, Lewisburg, and Big Bend Tunnel East. Coal items also appear in containers near industrial structures in that region.
- Complete the Event: "Grahm's Meat-Cook": Runs every hour at Moonshiner's Shack just south of Vault 76 during Meat Week — join any active instance and push past 75% for full rewards while also counting toward the weekly challenge.
- Cripple a Super Mutant's Arm (x2): Use VATS to target the Arm limb on any Super Mutant. Camp McClintock in the Forest and Huntersville in the Toxic Valley are dense Super Mutant spawn locations.
- Kill a Mutant Hound (x3): Mutant Hounds accompany Super Mutant groups — find them at Huntersville, Vault 94 in the Mire, and random Super Mutant encounters across the Toxic Valley and Savage Divide.
- Scrap junk to produce Fertilizer (x5): Brahmin Dung scraps into Fertilizer — collect it near Brahmin herds at Flatwoods, Silva Homestead, or the Whitespring Golf Course, then scrap at any workbench.
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 |
| Catch a Fish (x21) | 1000 SCORE |
| Catch a Fish while it is Raining (x2) | 1000 SCORE |

| Eat a Meat-based Meal (x25) | 1000 SCORE |
| Scrap Pre-War Money (x50) | 1000 SCORE |
| Scrap junk to produce Lead (x30) | 1000 SCORE |
Quick completion hints:
- Complete a Gold Star Daily Challenge! (x3): Resets daily — completing today's Gold Star counts as one of the three needed across the week.
- Catch a Fish (x21): The Seasonal Fish Run is active through June 29 — fish at any Appalachian fishing hole this weekend to clear all 21 catches efficiently.
- Catch a Fish while it is Raining (x2): Head to the Mire or Toxic Valley where rain is frequent; only 2 rainy catches are required so this is quick. Community testing confirms caves are affected by outdoor weather — cave fishing spots count when it's raining outside.
- Complete the Event: "Grahm's Meat-Cook" (x5): Runs hourly at Moonshiner's Shack during Meat Week through July 7 — attend across multiple days to spread the 5-run count, and today's daily challenge lines up with this one.
- Craft Fish Bits (x35): Cook Fish Bits at any cooking station using Fish Meat from caught fish; batch-crafting during the Seasonal Fish Run (through June 29) while tackling Catch a Fish challenges is the most efficient approach.
- Cripple a Blood Eagle's Leg (x18): Today's Daily Ops sends you to Valley Galeria against Blood Eagles — use VATS to target legs during the run and stack progress toward this weekly. Blood Eagles also spawn at Crater's Edge in the Cranberry Bog and at raider camps throughout the Savage Divide.
- Eat a Meat-based Meal (x25): Cook and eat any meat recipe repeatedly — Brahmin Steak, Yao Guai Ribs, and Radstag Stew all count. Syncs naturally with cooking during Meat Week.
- Scrap Pre-War Money (x50): Farm cash registers and desks in pre-war storefronts — Whitespring Hotel interior and Morgantown shopping district have dense spawn points.
- Scrap junk to produce Lead (x30): Scrap pencils, toy cars, or paint cans at any workbench. Morgantown High School and similar school buildings have dense pencil spawns.
