How to Join the Fasnacht Parade Event

Every hour, players can participate by heading to Helvetia, located in the Forest Region, or by using the event notification for free fast travel. Fasnacht is one of Fallout 76’s most celebrated events, featuring fun challenges, great loot, and rare collectibles.

Best Strategies for Success

To maximize efficiency, ensure you have the Friendly Fire Perk Card (Charisma section) equipped. This allows you to heal NPC Protectrons with a Flamer, which can be incredibly useful during the event.

Fasnacht Parade Tasks & Objectives

Upon arrival in Helvetia, talk to the Master of Ceremonies near the bridge on the east side of the village. Your mission is to locate five out of the eight Protectron Marchers and complete their assigned tasks:

Equip the Luck Perk Card – Woodchucker to gather more wood.

Use your Camp or Survival Tent Scrap Box for extra wood donations.
