Grab your team and prepare to face the challenges that await in Mutation Invasion, available now and free to download for all Fallout 76 players. The update also ushers in Season 12: Rip Daring and the Cryptid Hunt, plus improvements to Daily Ops and more! Mutated Public EventsMutations are strange evolutionary buffs that make your foes even deadlier. At the top of the hour, every hour, a Mutated Public Event will appear. A special icon will indicate the Public Event is Mutated, with regular Public Events appearing for the remainder of the hour. Mutated Public Events can include certain conditions such as: • Volatile: Enemies explode upon death • Active Camouflage: Enemies are cloaked when not attacking • Resilient: Enemies can only be slain with a melee attack • Freezing Touch: Slow targets down upon attack • Toxic Blood: Enemies leave behind small poisonous hazard upon death • Group regeneration: Enemies heal each other when within radius • Swift Footed: Increased movement and attack speed While Mutations increase the challenge of Public Events, surviving brings plenty of rewards. Completing Mutated Public Events will earn players loot including XP, Legendary items, Treasury Notes or even a Mutated Package, containing a chance for some rare goodies. Earn additional rewards by completing Mutated Public Events with Fallout 1st members, regardless of whether or not you’re subscribed!
