While wandering the wasteland of Appalachia, you might notice what looks like a strangely dressed ghoul stumbling across the cracked pavement towards you. It’s actually a Scorched, which isn’t anything special, but you might have seen them dressed in holiday attire recently. The Scorched Wanderer’s radiant red and white gown stands out in the grim post-apocalypse, and if you can get ahead of the other survivors, you can actually farm Holiday Scorched in Fallout76 for fantastic rewards. Why would you want to? Well, read on.
As part of the Holiday Scorched event in Fallout76numerous points of interest in Appalachia are now hosting Festive Scorched, which you may want to farm. If you do, you’ll be rewarded with Small Holiday Gifts, Regular Holiday Gifts, and Large Holiday Gifts. The bigger the gift box, the better the rewards inside. Oh, and you can craft Gifts, too. But more on that in a moment!
Here are the places to get Holiday Scorched until August 6, 2024, when the event ends!
Where to Grow Holiday Scorched
First and foremost, to recognize the Holiday Scorched, look for radiant colors, especially red and white jackets and dresses. When you are near one of the holiday enemies, they will play holiday music. Honestly, it is strenuous to miss them.
But most importantly, you need to farm in the right places, such as:
- Morgantown Airport (exterior)
- Tyler County Fairgrounds
- Bolton Greens
- Helvetia
- Wavy Willard Waterpark
- Camden Park
Festive Scorched can be found anywhere regular Scorched usually spawn, but these six locations have the best luck.
That said, they are also the most visited by the community. You can end up traveling to the Morgantown airport, as I did this morning, only to find the entire camp clear of hostiles. Then the same thing happened at Bolton Greens. People seem to want to participate in this event, more than usual, so expect company.
Alternatively, if you subscribe to Fallout 1st, you can enter a Private World. This is the best way to farm Holiday Scorched without competing with an entire server of interested players.
How to make your own Christmas gifts
As mentioned earlier, instead of farming Holiday Scorched, you can craft Holiday Gifts yourself. First, you need to buy gift wrapping paper from vendors at train stations or Grahm. They sell you:
- Low quality gift wrapping
- Medium quality gift wrapping paper
- High quality gift wrapping
These items are quite costly, however. For example, a High-Quality Gift Wrap can cost over 2,000 caps or more, and the potential rewards vary greatly.
Once you have the Gift Wrap, visit Tinker’s Workbench in your CAMP to craft a holiday gift. You’ll need to spend resources as well as the Gift Wrap, so stock up on materials ahead of time!
