- Bigfoot is added to Fallout 76 in the next free game update
- He is just one of several possible “uninvited guests” who may appear at the end of a public event.
- The update drops on March 3, 2026
The irradiated world of Fallout 76 is about to get even deadlier thanks to the arrival of a formidable new enemy.
Bigfoot arrives Fallout 76 as part of the next game The Backwoods update, which is scheduled to launch on March 3, 2026. He is just one of the “uninvited guests” who will have a small chance of appearing at the end of successful public events.
A legendary four-star enemy, defeating Bigfoot grants the chance to obtain valuable, exclusive loot. During a preview event attended by TechRadar Gaming, Fallout 76 Creative director Jon Rush revealed that the desire to add Bigfoot came from playing Campfire Tales, one of the game’s public events.
“The idea for Bigfoot came from playing Campfire Tales at night and finishing that thinking, ‘My God, it would be so cool if Bigfoot came out and smashed my face in,'” he said. “That’s kind of where the initial thought came from.”
Other possible uninvited guests include a formidable list of To fall baddies like the Scorchbeast, the Deathclaw Matriarch, the Wendigo Colossus, the Mirelurk Queen, and the lightning-spitting Storm Goliath.
A successful public event won’t necessarily result in the appearance of an uninvited guest, so those eager to take on them all and get their hands on all the loot available will have to spend quite a bit of time in the wasteland.
The update also introduces many quality of life improvements, with many changes to public events to make them more engaging. Like the past Fallout 76 updates, it will be completely free for existing owners.
If you want to dive into the game, it is now available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, or PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S via backwards compatibility.
