Fallout 76 public events: what they are and how to find them

What are Fallout 76 public events? While roaming Appalachia in Fallout 76 you’ll often encounter other players trying to complete their own objectives. These can be personal quests they’ve discovered or, in some cases, you may be able to join in as it’s a public event. These are different to main missions and side-quests. Public events are essentially community quests that can be tackled by anyone on the server - not just your party - as long as they’re in the right location. They come in different flavours, too: some have you battling it out against waves of foes and others could be escort missions. Sometimes you might even be called back to defend your base from various irradiated nasties. If you’ve played Destiny 2 then you’ll be familiar with the idea - Fallout 76 public events work in much the same way as they do in Bungie’s MMO. You’ll find other players in the world fighting a boss or a horde of enemies and can join in to reap the rewards.
