October means Halloween and Halloween means an surge of spooky-themes content, and Fallout 76 is no different. In the recently released patch notes (October 19th, 2021), Bethesda shared all their plans to add some Halloween spirit to the game.

This latest update adds an assortment of new content, with new Scorched, trick-or-treating and some much-needed bug fixes and improvements. If you want to read the full details on the latest Fallout 76 Patch, you can read it directly here, but I’ll be highlighting the more important and interesting additions here.

F76

Spooky Scorched

From now until November 2nd: some of the Scorched will be getting into the Halloween season by dressing in their favourite costumes as they creep around Appalachia. These Spooky Scorched will spawn regularly, and you might encounter them randomly or you’ll hear their holiday sounds.

Sppoky Scorched drops

  • Spooky Scorched will spawn as 1, 2, or 3-star legendaries, which means you’ll receive a legendary item every time you take one down.
  • You’ll also receive a Spooky Treat Bag, which you can open to get some goodies like consumables, ammo, and a chance at some Halloween themed Plans.
  • You’ll receive a piece of Mystery Candy that you can eat to receive one of five random buffs, which may include stat boosts, or even Nukashine-like effects.
  • TIP: While it can be tempting to devour all your Mystery Candy right away, you may want to hold on to a few pieces so that you can take part in the Trick-or-Treating event this year (more on that below).
  • Spooky Scorched will not spawn inside of interiors.

Trick or Treat

From now until November 2nd: you can dress up in costume and go trick-or-treating around Appalachia with friends. You can also give candy to players who visit your home too. There will also be new challenges to complete to earn some rewards.

Pass Out Candy to Trick-or-Treaters

  • Visit the Atomic Shop to claim a free Spooky Candy Bowl before November 2, build it in your C.A.M.P., and fill it with Mystery Candy for trick-or-treaters to enjoy.
  • Get your hands on Mystery Candy by looting Spooky Scorched, or buying some with Caps from train station vendors around Appalachia.
  • TIP: Place your Spooky Candy Bowl in an obvious spot in your C.A.M.P. where trick-or-treaters can easily find it.
  • Please also note that Spooky Candy Bowls cannot be placed inside Shelters.
  • Your C.A.M.P. will display a pumpkin icon on the Map once you’ve added Mystery Candy to your Spooky Candy Bowl, which will let other Dwellers know they are welcome to stop by for a treat.
  • If your candy bowl is empty, the pumpkin icon will stop appearing for your C.A.M.P. until you refill it.
  • Each trick-or-treater can only take one piece of candy per hour from your candy bowl, so there’s no need to worry about anyone swiping more than their fair share.
  • Over the next two weeks, you will receive Daily and Weekly Challenges to give out candy, which you can complete to earn rewards!
  • Daily Challenges will grant you one of several possible rewards, like a consumable item, Perk Card Pack, Lunchbox, Repair Kit, or some S.C.O.R.E.
  • Weekly Challenges to give candy to trick-or-treaters can award S.C.O.R.E., rare crafting materials, or even Halloween costumes. Complete both Weekly Challenges and you’ll also receive a new Popcorn Machine for your C.A.M.P.!

Go On the Hunt for Candy!

  • Dust off your favorite costume, grab a few friends, and leave space in your pack for plenty of candy, because it’s time to trick or treat your way around the Wasteland!
  • Open the Map to spot C.A.M.P.s that have a pumpkin icon, which indicates that the owner currently has a Spooky Candy Bowl stocked up with Mystery Candy.
  • Each day until November 2, you will receive a new Daily Challenge to trick or treat at other Dwellers’ C.A.M.P.s.
  • Like the Daily Challenges to give out candy, completing each trick-or-treating Daily will net you one of several rewards, including consumables, a Perk Card Pack, Lunchbox, Repair Kit, or some S.C.O.R.E.
  • Make sure you’re wearing a costume when you take Mystery Candy from someone else’s Spooky Candy Bowl to ensure you’ll receive Challenge credit.
  • There are many different costume options available in-game, such as those you can find during your adventures, a variety of Unstoppables-themed rank-up rewards from the Season 6 Scoreboard, as well as costumes you can purchase in the Atomic Shop.

Bug fixes

The rest of the update involved fixing various bugs across the game. Particularly in art, C.A.M.Ps & workshops, daily ops, events & quests, items, localization, performance & stability, sound, UI and world. To read the finer details about these fixes, you can check them out here.
