The Marshal Mallow's Marvelous Fishing Excursion Mini Season is a limited-time event in Fallout 76.
Running from August 12, 2025 to August 26, 2025 at 12 PM US EST (at Atom Shop changeover), players can claim the Marshal Mallow Fishing Hat for free from the Mini Seasons Board.
To participate, head to an Armor Workbench, craft the Marshal Mallow Fishing Hat, and equip it on your character. Then, complete the listed challenges to earn exclusive, limited-time rewards.
Limited-Time Challenges have been reworked and are now called Mini Seasons
How it works:
Complete each challenge to earn tickets, which can then be used to purchase the rewards of your choice from the limited-time reward board. This system works similarly to the current Season structure.
At the time of publishing this guide, the exact number of tickets awarded per challenge—and the ticket cost of each reward—has not yet been confirmed.
FAQ
Can we re-roll the challenges?
No.
Can I complete these challenges on a custom server?
No.
Can I complete these challenges on a private server, by myself, if I create a public team?
Yes.
Can I complete these challenges in one day?
Yes, all the challenges for the week will be released on the first day, allowing you a week to complete them.
Can I wear Power Armor while completing these challenges?
Yes! — The challenge has been updated so that as long as you have the hat equipped, it will count. This means you can now complete the challenge without exiting Power Armor or removing your helmet.
Can I still get intoxicated if I am a Ghoul?
Yes, you can.
Can I complete the challenges on different characters?
Yes. As long as you are on the same account and the character has the required item equipped, you can spread the challenges across multiple characters.
Why can’t I lock the rewards when I have enough tickets?
You need to claim and unlock rewards in a specific order; you can’t just pick and choose which ones to claim. If you hover over a reward, it will show you which items you need to claim first before it becomes available.

Hey there, I'm Kat, also known as Duchess!
I'm an Aussie data miner who creates guides for farming, events, and food buffs in Fallout 76.
I firmly believe that knowledge should be accessible to everyone, so my guides will always be free. However, maintaining a website and using photo and video editing software can be costly.
If you find my guides useful, here are a few ways you can support me:
- Share My Guides: Help your fellow vault dwellers by sharing my guides.
- Follow Me on Social Media: Keep up with my latest updates by following me on social media.
- One-Time Donation: Buy me a coffee.
- Monthly Contribution: Become a regular supporter by subscribing to my Ko-fi page.
Every bit of support helps cover the costs of creating these guides and maybe even gets me a cup of coffee or three ;)
Thanks for your support!
This is my first on your site; wonderfully produced. Extremely resourceful! Thank you!
To track your progress on these challenges, go to MENU --> CHALLENGES --> EVENTS.
Another great guide! Thanks, Duchess!
Love that you do these guides. They do help out a lot. However one thing that bugs me and it's not you... I bet I will have to go see JVO to remove my ghoul disguise just to equip the hat.
