1. A Comprehensive Guide to the Holiday Scorched Event in Fallout 76
The Holiday Scorched event is currently active and will continue until August 6th, 2024. It is anticipated to make a comeback later this year during the Christmas season.
You can easily spot a nearby holiday scorched by the jingling sound they make – the closer they are, the louder it gets! Their festive outfits also make them stand out from regular scorched enemies, making them easily recognizable in the game environment. These distinct characteristics set them apart from other scorched enemies.
During the Holiday Scorched event, players are encouraged to participate in order to obtain Scrip and collect exclusive event rewards. Each encounter during this event is guaranteed to feature a legendary enemy, with a 55% chance of encountering a 1-star, 40% chance of a 2-star, and 5% chance of a 3-star legendary Holiday Scorched. These enemies can be found at any Scorched spawn location, with the exception of instances and interior areas such as the Valley Galleria.
By defeating them, you not only acquire their usual legendary loot but also receive Holiday Gifts of varying sizes – small, regular, and large. The larger the gift, the higher your chances of obtaining rare rewards. Furthermore, you can either craft gifts or utilize the Santatron Collectron to obtain them, providing alternative methods to obtain these festive treats.

Handmade Holiday Gifts
Instead of searching for Holiday Scorched, there is another option available. You can buy Gift wraps, which can be used to create personalized gifts and receive rewards.
In Fo76 and Grahm, Vendor Bots offer Gift Wrap for sale. It can be located in the ‘Misc’ category within their inventory and is available in three different types that can be purchased using Caps.
- Low-Quality Gift Wrap: Lowest Price: 219 Caps
- Medium-Quality Gift Wrap: Lowest Price: 656 Caps
- High-Quality Gift Wrap: Lowest Price: 1,925 Caps
To create your own Handmade Holiday Gifts, all you need to do is use a Tinker’s Workbench to combine Gift Wrap with Adhesive. Remember that the Super Duper perk card does not work for crafting Holiday gifts and that vendors will no longer sell Gift Wrap once the event is over, so make sure to gather enough materials while you have the chance!
Compared to dropped gifts, Handmade Holiday Gifts have a higher likelihood of containing a Holiday Reward and include the following rewards:
| Small Handmade Gift | Handmade Gift | Large Handmade Gift |
|---|---|---|
| 2x Holiday Junk2x Goodies1x Holiday Reward (10%)Rare Taxidermy Plan (1,11%) | 1x Holiday Junk1x Goodies1x Holiday Reward (40%)1x Holiday CurrencyAmmo for current weaponRare Taxidermy Plan (4,44%) | 2x Holiday Junk3x Goodies1x Holiday Reward (60%)1x Holiday CurrencyAmmo for current weaponRare Taxidermy Plan (6,67%) |
II. Tips For Buying Gift Wrap
- To get the most value, choose Medium Quality Gift Wrap. It provides the most cost-effective option for crafting Medium Handmade Gifts, even though there is a 33% decrease in the likelihood of receiving a Holiday Reward.
- To get the best deals, maximize your Charisma to 25 by combining bonuses from the Level 3 Hard Bargain perk (+9 Charisma), Grape Mentats (+5 Charisma), the Magnetic Personality perk, and joining a Roleplay Team.
- Make sure to activate the Hard Bargain perk and consume Grape Mentats before making any purchases from a vendor in order to guarantee the best prices.
- If you’re looking to splurge on Gift Wrap, head to the faction vendors at the Whitespring Resort. You can buy all the Gift Wraps they have in stock, then server-hop and repeat the process to acquire even more.
- To maximize your cap supply, sell any unwanted items to a vendor before purchasing Gift Wrap. This will deplete your caps and result in a partial refund, allowing you to stretch your budget and make the most of your resources.
- In addition, make sure to stop by the Vendor Bot at Whitespring Station, where you can purchase two of each type of Gift Wrap.
III. Collectron – The Santatron
The CAMP collectors in Fallout 76, such as the Santatron, have the capability to be programmed to collect specific items, such as the Scorched Holiday Gifts.
If you were fortunate enough to obtain the Santatron during its limited-time availability in the Atomic Shop, it is important to secure both the robot and its terminal to prevent any potential theft or tampering.
During workshop defense events, be prepared to defend against waves of Scorched enemies. Among them, you may come across the elusive Holiday Scorched, giving you a chance to obtain these rare gifts.
As a Fallout 1st member playing on a private server, you have the perfect opportunity to take advantage of all workshops and place a Collectron in each one. This will allow you to set up a network of gift-gathering machines, maximizing your collection of Holiday gifts and other items.
