Infestation Overview

Infestations are a new form of content that serves as an additional source of 4-Star Legendary items for those brave enough to hunt down and clear out these challenging pockets of enemies. Meant for experienced Appalachian Dwellers, Infestations must be discovered as you’re exploring the world. Looking at your Paper Map will show the general area that one can be found, but it will be up to you to find its exact location.

If you want to hunt for Infestations, we recommend you create or join an Exploration Public Team because on an active server full of hunters, you might find them difficult to find. Being on a team will increase your chances by giving you the opportunity to Fast Travel directly to a teammate who has found one.

Locations

Infestations can appear across the Toxic Valley, Forest, Ash Heap, Savage Divide, Mire, and Cranberry Bog regions. Multiple Infestations can be active across Appalachia at any given time, but if nobody comes to clear them out, the faction infesting the area will leave and head off to another area.

Enemies

When an infestation takes over a location, the enemies that usually ruled that area are pushed out and overtaken by a new faction. At launch, the Blood Eagles, Cultists, Communists, Mole Miners, Scorched, Super Mutants, and Robots all have the chance of being the new ruling faction in the area.

These new enemies will hit harder and be tougher to take down. There will also be accompanied by an elite-level boss.

Each Infestation boss will have their own unique weapon and be afflicted by a random Mutation to alter the fight even further. If you’re heading out to find an Infestation, make sure you’re well geared and ready for a fight.

More factions may also find their way into infesting Appalachia in the future.

Rewards

When clearing an Infestation, you should expect to get standard loot and a chance of a 3-Star Legendary weapon or armor from the lower-tier faction enemies. Defeating the boss leading the infestation is where the bigger rewards come into play.

Beating the Infestation boss will earn you a guaranteed 4-Star Legendary weapon or armor piece. This update also introduces new 4-Star mods that can only be obtained through clearing Infestations.

Here’s a sneak peek at two of the exclusive Infestation 4-Star Mods:

Vector (Armor Mod): Increase accuracy in V.A.T.S. from a very long distance by 10% (up to 50%)

Tarnished (Weapon Mod): The lower the equipped item condition, the greater the weapon damage (up to 120%).

Infestation Frenzy

To celebrate the launch of today’s update, Infestations will appear at a faster than standard rate for the first two weeks. After which, the rate at which Infestations appear will be returned to their intended values.

Don’t get swept up in the frenzy!
