Fallout 76 features a wide range of events for players to experience. A simple look at the challenges section of the main manu reveals several daily, weekly, and gameplay-based tasks that offer a variety of rewards. While some of these challenges are relatively small, others offer a full narrative and playout much like missions.




The Mothman Equinox’ is one such event, available only as a limited-time seasonal event. This event is good for new Fallout 76 players, as it offers great loot for those just getting started. The game never does much to explain exactly how to begin this event, so this guide will show players exactly where they’ll need to go to complete ‘The Mothman Equinox.’

‘The Mothman Equinox’ begins in Point Pleasant, on the western edge of Fallout 76‘s map. To begin the event, players will want to head to the roof of the Mothman Museum in Point Pleasant. There, players will meet Interpreter Clarence. Clarence is the quest-giver for The Mothman Equinox.

‘The Mothman Equinox’ runs every hour, so players wishing to complete the event should head into Point Pleasant at least a few minutes before the clock hits XX:00. When the clock hits the hour, there will be a game-wide announcement that the event is about to start. Players do not need to be on the roof to take part in the event, but Clarence will give players a general list of instructions.
