Mischief Night is a limited-time seasonal public event in Fallout 76. After being absent for years, it makes its return in the C.A.M.P. Revamp update (Patch 1.7.21.25). The event has been moved to Rapidan Camp and kicks off on October 7, 2025, running until October 21, 2025.

Fallout Mischief Night (2025) Quick Walkthrough

• Light the Mischief Pyre to start the event.

• Light additional Mischief Pyres along the route to push the chaos further.
• Defeat the Rapidan Elite Security Force and their robot reinforcements.
• Optional: Wear a costume for bonus progress and extra rewards.

Fallout Mischief Night (2025) Full Walkthrough

Step 1: Light the Mischief Pyre

The event begins when you activate the Mischief Pyre. JES-2R will appear to guide you through the camp. Like before, there may be a costume chest nearby—wearing at least one costume item grants double progress on objectives and bonus rewards.

Step 2: Sow Mayhem

As JES-2R floats through Rapidan Camp, you’ll need to fill the Mayhem Meter by completing different tasks:

• Fight security robots (Protectrons, Assaultrons, and possibly Sentry Bots).
• Blow up vehicles and nearby hazards.
• Light bonfires scattered across the camp.
• Raid candy bowls for trick-or-treat progress.
• Graffiti walls with Fallout-themed designs.
• Fork lawns with decorative chaos.

Each area of the camp has its own Mischief Pyre to light before moving on.

Step 3: Final Showdown

Once you’ve completed enough mayhem tasks, JES-2R will lead you to the final Mischief Pyre. Lighting it will summon waves of security forces. Prepare for a legendary boss fight—in 2019 it was a Sentry Bot, so expect a similar high-level enemy here.

Fallout 76 Mischief Night (2025) Rewards

Rewards scale with participation, with costumes boosting progress and loot quality. Based on the 2019 event, players can expect:

Tips for Success

• Wear a costume: Double progress and better loot.
• Bring explosives: Many objectives require blowing up cars and causing chaos.
