- Bigfoot is being added Fallout 76 in the game’s next free update
- He is just one of many possible “intruders” that can appear at the end of a public event
- The update drops on March 3, 2026
It irradiated the world Fallout 76 is about to become even more deadly thanks to the arrival of a terrifying new enemy.
Bigfoot is coming Fallout 76 as part of the game’s upcoming Backwoods update, which is set to launch on March 3, 2026. He is just one of those ‘uninvited guests’ who will have a small chance to spawn at the end of successful public events.
Defeating a four-star legendary enemy Bigfoot offers the chance to secure some valuable exclusive loot. In a preview event attended by TechRadar Gaming, Fallout 76 creative director Jon Rush revealed that the desire to add Bigfoot stemmed from playing Campfire Tales, one of the game’s public events.
“The idea for Bigfoot actually originally came from playing Campfire Tales at night and finishing it and thinking, ‘God, it would be so cool if Bigfoot just came out and smashed my face,'” he said. “That’s kind of where the first thought came from.”
Other possible intruders include a fearsome line-up of Fallout villains such as Scorchbeast, Deathclaw Matriarch, Wendigo Colossus, Mirelurk Queen and the lightning-spewing Storm Goliath.
A successful public event won’t necessarily result in an intruder showing up, so those eager to meet them all and get their hands on all the available loot will need to spend some time in the wasteland.
The update also introduces a host of quality-of-life upgrades, with several changes to public events to make them more engaging. As before Fallout 76 updates, it will be completely free for existing owners.
If you’re interested in diving into the game, it’s available now for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, or PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S via backwards compatibility.
