Summary
Fallout 76fans appear to be loving the latest iteration of the Mothman Equinox event, having repeatedly said as much online over the third week of May 2024. The ongoing activity is offeringFallout 76players another chance to grab some rare and useful plans, on top of other notable rewards.
Mothman Equinox was initially introduced as part of the Night of the Moth update, which launched alongsideFallout 76Season 7. The latest completed iteration of the seasonal activity took place in the first half of April 2024. That was only the fourth time that the event took place since its December 2021 debut. But its April edition did not end up working as intended due to a bugged reward mechanic that didn’t allow the event to drop any duplicate crafting plans. While the bug helped many dedicated players to easily obtain the entirety of the activity’s reward lineup, it also prevented them from reselling dupes to others, which can be a significant source of in-game income.
Fallout 76 Players Praise Mothman Equinox Treasury Note Rewards
Bethesda consequently opted to hold a bonus Mothman Equinox event as an apology for this mishap. The rerun kicked off on May 14 and is scheduled to conclude on Tuesday, May 21. Despite being half as long as a regular Mothman Equinox, many fans still welcomed the opportunity to do the event again, stating that they’ve been thoroughly enjoying the latest iteration of the activity. That’s in no small part thanks to its generous rewards, which include five or seven Treasury Notes, depending on whether the server manages to protect at least two of the three pyres that the event revolves around. That reward is all the more significant in light of the fact that the Mothman Equinox rerun overlaps with Minverva’s Big Sale, which is currently offering players a chance toexchange Treasury Notes for many rareFallout 76plans at a hefty discount.
While a lot of the positive buzz surrounding the event stems from it being such an efficient way to farm Treasury Notes, some fans have also praised it for offering a welcome change of pace. Namely, the first half of May 2024 revolved around thelatest edition of theFallout 76Invaders from Beyond event, whose very existence led to Zeta Aliens invading most other public activities. Some players subsequently said that they have developed alien fatigue during this period, thus welcoming the opportunity to deal with less challenging enemies like Cultist Prophets and Albino Radstags starring in Mothman Equinox.
The positive reactions to the Mothman Equinox rerun serve to counterbalance the recent influx of unrelated player complaints. A lot of those grievances are centered on anuptick inFallout 76griefingthat some fans have been observing since the game started blowing up in popularity due to Amazon’sFallouttelevision series premiere.
