Fasnacht arrives in Fallout 76 starting July 29

[p][/p][p]Take to the streets with your procession of Proctectrons and ring in Appalachia’s latest seasonal public event with a roaring bonfire: Fasnacht has come to Fallout 76![/p][p]Starting July 29, players can find the Master of Ceremonies waiting for them at the top of every hour in Helvetia. This spiffed-up Mr. Handy robot is your ticket to kicking off the Fasnacht celebration, tasking you with recruiting five festive Protectrons for the Fasnacht parade![/p][p][/p][p]You’ll need to complete a task for each Protectron, from collecting wood for the bonfire to putting up decorations, before they’ll join the parade – an event that also needs protecting from any nasty little critters that may interfere (and occasionally, not-so-little creatures like a Super Mutant Behemoth!) The more parading Protectrons you and your crew keep functioning, the more successful the Fasnacht celebration and the better your rewards will be![/p][p]Complete Fasnacht events to earn rewards such as unique plans and recipes, as well as wearable Fasnacht Masks – including designs from past Fasnacht events, plus some brand-new ones![/p][p][/p][p]Join the Fasnacht festivities before this event ends August 12. Visit the Fallout 76 Seasons page for our Community Calendar of upcoming in-game events, including Double S.C.O.R.E. from July 31 – August 4 for a boost during Season 21: Gone Fission![/p][p]Fallout 76 is included with Xbox Game Pass and is available for purchase on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Steam.
