Daily Fallout 76 Briefing - February 02, 2026

Mothman Equinox is live today, with an Uplink Daily Op in West Tek (Reflective Skin) and a challenge list that pairs perfectly with event farming.

Active Events Today

  • Mothman Equinox (Public Event)
    • Active until:
    • Actionable: Keep an eye on the World Activity list for The Mothman Equinox and join to progress today's Cultist-kill daily and the weekly "Complete the Event" challenge.

Today's Daily Ops

Uplink - West Tek - Scorched
Active since: (resets: )

  • Default Mutation: Piercing Gaze (stealth is ineffective)
  • Mutation: Reflective Skin (enemies periodically reflect incoming damage)

Quick run tips:

  • Don't rely on stealth: sprint objective-to-objective with a tankier setup and stay inside the uplink radius.
  • For Reflective Skin, stop firing when enemies enter their reflective window; swap targets, use DoT/area damage, or wait a beat before bursting again.

Today's Daily Challenges

Resets:

  • 1ˢᵗ Collect Energy Ammo (10)
  • ⭐ Gold Star: Complete a Daily Challenge (6)
  • Cook Mole Rat Chunks (3)
  • Craft a Grenade, Mine, or Thrown Weapon (5)
  • Cripple a Human's Head (2)
  • Eat a Cooked Meal (10)
  • Kill Cultists during The Mothman Equinox event (10)
  • Level up!

Helpful completion hints:

  • Collect Energy Ammo (10): Loot energy-ammo containers and enemies using laser/plasma weapons; crafting a small batch of fusion cells/plasma cartridges can also finish this fast if you're stocked on materials.
  • Cook Mole Rat Chunks (3): Farm Mole Rats (reliable spawns include Welch Station area and Riverside Manor exterior), loot the meat, then cook at any Cooking Station.
  • Craft a Grenade/Mine/Thrown (5): Use a Tinker's Workbench → Explosives; frag grenades are usually the cheapest if you have steel.
  • Cripple a Human's Head (2): Hit Blood Eagles/Cultists/Raiders; VATS + Concentrated Fire makes this painless (automatic weapons/shotguns help).
  • Eat a Cooked Meal (10): Cook a stack of simple meats (Radstag, Brahmin, etc.) and spam-eat; soups/steaks count as long as they're cooked.
  • Kill Cultists during Mothman Equinox (10): Join The Mothman Equinox and focus on tagged Cultists during the objective waves.
  • Level up!: West Tek grinding works well today (and lines up with the Daily Op location theme).
