Fallout 76: Treasure Hunter event guide

Hunt for the Treasure Hunter, or more commonly called the Treasure Hunter, is a series of limited-time Fallout 76 events. It occurs several times a year, during which Treasure Hunter Mole Miners have a chance to spawn at different locations. They don't have a unique spawn point but rather appear in the same locations as other enemies.

Treasure Hunter Mole Miners also can't spawn inside of instanced interiors and during other events or quests that feature scripted enemies, which is good, as they are Legendary.

Treasure Hunter Mole Miners wear big backpacks with a sound machine strapped to them, which emits a static sound, making it easier for you to hear them. They'll also flee from combat; you have to be quick in eliminating them.

Here's more on the Treasure Hunter event and everything you need to know about Treasure Hunter Mole Miners in Fallout 76.
