Anyone who plays Fallout 76 for a while will eventually want to improve their character. However, the fact that the toughest enemies in the game can drop the strangest items makes it a bit difficult.
A rolling pin against the end boss: A player has defeated the currently hardest boss in Fallout 76: a three-star elite Scorchbeast Queen at level 95. His legendary loot was a rolling pin.
Legendary Wood from the Raid
Disappointment about the loot: The rolling pin is called “Bloodied Rolling Pin” and is a legendary melee weapon for level 50. The stats of the wood are actually not that bad:
- Damage: 48
- Speed: Medium
- Weight: 1
- Effect: Deals more damage the lower your health is
However, it remains just a rolling pin and not a particularly strong weapon made of the rare Ultracite, which Reddit user and player crowstwo probably would have wished for. Ultracite is currently the strongest and one of the rarest materials in Fallout 76.
Where does the boss appear? The Scorchbeast Queen is a kind of raid boss that needs to be summoned by players. To do this, they have to launch a nuclear missile. How you get the launch codes and drop a nuclear bomb is explained in our guide.
The impact location can ultimately be determined by the players. If the target of the impact is one of the “rifts” on the map, a Scorchbeast Queen appears there that can be defeated by all players on the map in the raid event “Scorched Earth”.
Rifts are already dangerous areas where Scorched roam and where it is swarming with obedient Burned. Higher-level players can collect Ultracite here.
Scorchbeasts are not worth it: In a thread on reddit, the discussion about the loot continued. It was often commented that Scorchbeasts are generally not worth the effort.
Nuclear bombs and their impact sites are indeed endgame content, but Scorchbeasts are not worth it. One user wrote:
I actually enjoy the endgame a lot, I would just say that Scorchbeasts eventually get overlooked and no one tries to kill them. They have terrible loot, barely give XP, and destroy your armor.
Where a nuclear missile strikes, the enemies become stronger, usually have better loot, and rare resources like Flux can be collected from mutated plants. Whether it’s worth wasting codes for rifts when there’s only rolling pins to be found is debatable.
How does Fallout actually play? You have tested it and here is your verdict.
