Campfire Tales

Overview

Campfire Tales is a public event in Fallout 76 where players gather at a campfire and take part in Scout Leader Penny's story. The event includes several camp activities before changing into one of a few possible final encounters.

The event takes place at Camp Adams in the Forest region.

Walkthrough

  1. 1

    Gather around the campfire

    Start by gathering around the campfire and listening to Scout Leader Penny.

  2. 2

    Destroy the shadows

    Destroy the shadows around the camp — black wooden cutouts with glowing eyes. Damage them until they disappear.

  3. 3

    Eat, drink, and emote

    Eat, drink, and emote near the campfire to progress.

  4. 4

    Collect dry kindling

    Collect dry kindling from nearby areas and add it to the fire. Avoid wet kindling — it can spawn extra enemies such as radants, ticks, and radroaches.

  5. 5

    Find the missing camper's items

    Search for the missing camper's items. These can appear in the locker room, picnic area, showers, tents, camp office, or near the water pump.

  6. 6

    Final encounter

    The final encounter depends on which camper holotape is found. Keep the campfire burning by adding kindling — the event fails if the fire goes out before the boss is defeated.
