Endgame

A former Enclave lab under the Ash Heap, where Ultracite was once researched. It's built for four high-level, well-geared players and has five encounters, each a boss fight with its own co-op mechanics. Encounters checkpoint as you clear them.

• No revives mid-fight. If you go down, you spectate your team until the encounter ends in success or failure.
• No time gating. You can run it back to back; it's the main source of 4-star items and mods.
• Roles matter. Unlike Daily Ops, the raid is designed so a solo build can't carry it; bosses also punish some build types.
• Form a Raid public team before entering for a weapon durability bonus that only works inside.
• The contextual ping system marks enemies, allies and objects if you'd rather not use voice chat.

Infestations take over a location with a tougher faction and an elite boss. You have to find them: the paper map shows the general area, not the exact spot.

Regions

Toxic Valley, the Forest, the Ash Heap, the Savage Divide, the Mire and the Cranberry Bog. Several can be active at once, and one moves on if nobody clears it.

Factions

Blood Eagles, Cultists, Communists, Mole Miners, Scorched, Super Mutants and Robots (plus Slasher cultists during The Slasher event).

Boss

Carries a unique weapon and a random mutation. Boss health was lowered in September 2026.

Rewards

Regular enemies can drop 3-star gear; the boss gives a guaranteed 4-star weapon or armor piece and can drop the Infestation-only Vector and Tarnished mods.

Bounty Hunting runs from the Last Resort saloon in Highway Town, Burning Springs, where The Ghoul hands out contracts. Reach it by crossing the Point Pleasant bridge; the region's questline starts at level 30 from the Ohio Distress Signal on your radio.

Grunt Hunts

Take a poster from the saloon table. The target spawns at a random Burning Springs location with a mutation that spreads to enemies near it. Targets start as 1-star legendaries and climb to 3-star as you complete more. Repeat as often as you like.

Head Hunts

A premium poster (a rare Grunt Hunt reward, or bought from The Ghoul for caps) starts a server-wide public event on the board outside. One runs at a time. The target is always a 3-star legendary with two 2-star posse members, and can drop bounty-only legendary mods.

Instanced, repeatable missions for up to four players. There are two modes, Uplink and Decryption, and each day the location, enemy faction and enemy mutations are randomized. See today's on the map under World Activity.

• Base rewards every time you finish.
• Three timed tiers, once a day each: Initiate, Paladin and Elder. The faster the clear, the better the chance at unique loot.
• Rare pool: The Slasher added 13 uniques, from Acceptable Overkill to The Farmhand, plus Fancy weapon paints.
