Activity: <Alias.Race=Alpha> Horde: <Alias=Region> is an Activity in Fallout 76.

Quick Walkthrough[edit]

When the activity begins, travel to the location where it is marked on the map. Once there, the objective will change to either taking out the legendary version of the enemy responsible for the horde, or search through four locations for the horde leader. As a player character checks the areas, if the boss is there, the objective will change to going into the location interior and eliminating them, or if not, move on to the next one. Once the legendary enemy and horde boss is dead, the activity is completed.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

There are two variations of the activity:

  • Search four locations for the horde boss
  • Eliminate the roaming horde boss

The activity is joined by fast traveling to the target on the map. If the objective changes to eliminating the horde boss immediately, the boss will be a legendary enemy surrounded by several non-legendary enemies serving as its bodyguards. Killing the horde boss completes the quest immediately.

If the objective changes to searching for the horde boss, several locations will be marked around the region where the quest took place. Investigate each one to see if the horde boss is hiding inside within the interior area of the location. If the horde boss is there, the objective will change to heading inside to slay them. If not, experience will be granted for searching the location and the remaining locations will need to be checked to follow up on pinpointing the horde boss' location to eliminate them. Once the boss is found and terminated, the activity is complete. Mop up the stragglers and scavenge the bodies for any worthwhile loot alongside the legendary item on the horde boss.

Notes[edit]

  • When being tasked with searching the four locations, there usually is one location in which the wanted enemy type normally spawns, such as Super Mutants at the Crevasse Dam. These locations tend to be the correct ones when searching for the horde leader, without having to search the others.
  • It is possible to complete the activity by having another player kill the horde leader, as long as one stays in the region of the event.
  • Enemies which may not normally spawn as legendary enemies are able to be selected as the Horde Alpha. The activity is scripted to force the NPC to be a legendary enemy.
