It’s time to put on your festive Fasnacht masks and parade through the streets of Helvetia in the apocalyptic world of Fallout 76! This long-awaited seasonal event brings together players to honor an old-world tradition with a uniquely wasteland twist.
Fasnacht 2024 Event Dates
Mark your calendars! Fasnacht runs from February 18 to March 4, giving players ample time to participate, earn rewards, and enjoy the festivities.
How to Join the Fasnacht Celebration
Every hour, a notification about the public event will appear on your map. Head over to Helvetia, a small town still clinging to the traditions of the past, and speak with the Master of Ceremonies, an ever-enthusiastic Mr. Handy robot who oversees the festival preparations.
Completing the Festival Preparations
Before the parade can begin, you and your fellow Wastelanders must assist the Protectrons with various festival tasks. These can include:
- Saving the bees – Because even in the post-apocalypse, nature must thrive!
- Playing musical instruments – No parade is complete without a proper soundtrack.
- Adding wood to the fire – Keep the ceremonial bonfire burning bright.
- Gathering ingredients for the feast – After all, no celebration is complete without food!
Once at least five Protectrons are ready, the parade will commence, bringing a lively procession through the streets of Helvetia.
Protecting the Parade
The festivities won’t go unchallenged. As the Fasnacht Protectrons march, hostile creatures may attack, threatening to disrupt the event. Your mission is to defend the parade participants from these threats, ensuring the celebration continues uninterrupted. The more robots that survive, the greater your final rewards.
Rewards and Collectibles
Successfully completing the Fasnacht event will earn you unique rewards, including:
- The “Masked” title prefix for your character.
- A chance to receive the “Glowing” prefix.
- Exclusive Fasnacht masks – highly sought-after collectibles that vary in rarity.
- Other festive-themed rewards, including decorations and apparel.
Why Participate in Fasnacht?
Beyond the fun and camaraderie, Fasnacht offers an opportunity to earn unique, limited-time loot, show off rare cosmetics, and immerse yourself in one of Fallout 76‘s most beloved seasonal traditions. Whether you’re a seasoned Wastelander or a newcomer, this event is a great way to experience the lighter side of life in the post-apocalyptic world.
Final Thoughts
Fasnacht is more than just an event – it’s a celebration of community, perseverance, and the enduring spirit of the Wasteland. Gather your friends, don your most festive mask, and march through the remnants of old-world Helvetia.
