Seasonal Event

Treasure Hunter

Last updated: 2026-05-13

Description

Treasure Hunter is a limited-time seasonal event in Fallout 76 where special Treasure Hunter mole miners spawn across all regions of Appalachia. Killing these enemies drops mole miner pails — loot containers that can be opened for randomized rewards.

Treasure Hunter mole miners emit an audible beeping sound when a player is nearby, making them easier to locate while exploring. This sound registers as an effect, so turning Effects volume up and lowering other audio settings can help when hunting them. See the video at the bottom of the page to hear it.

Different pail tiers have different reward pools. Plans, apparel, and cosmetics are distributed across those pools. Pails can also be crafted at a Tinker's Workbench.

Notable Rewards

Apparel & Weapon Drops

Crafting

During the Treasure Hunter event, empty pail variants can be purchased from eligible vendors. Each variant is used to craft its respective pail at a Tinker's Workbench. The finished pail can be opened for event rewards and is consumed on use.
