Farming Tips and Tricks


The following perk cards, magazines, and/or backpack mods will increase your yields.

 

Fixed Spawn Locations


Bloodbug Meat

If you find Bloodbug meat in locations not listed below, then you have found a raw food spawn location. These spawn locations use the raw food loot pool. So while you could get a piece of Bloodbug meat there today, it could be a piece of mole rat meat there tomorrow.


Point Pleasant

External

1x Bloodbug meat


From the fast travel point, run straight over the bridge.

Follow the road, keeping to the left and running past the hardware store.



Once you get to the back of the hardware store, turn right and walk straight until you hit a building. On your right will be a bridge covered in tree trunks and branches.



The Bloodbug meat is inside the bridge room, in the blood trough on the left.



 

Fixed Spawn Locations

Bloodbugs


Aaronholt Homestead

External

3x Bloodbugs (mixed insect spawn)


Head towards the backfield, behind the Homestead.



New River Gorge Bridge - East

External

7x Bloodbugs


Run across the top level of the bridge from East to West.



Bastion Park

External

1x Bloodbug (mixed insect spawn)


From the fast travel point, head towards the playground and there are insect spawns on both sides of the play equipment.



Dent & Sons Construction

External

1x Bloodbug


At the spawn in location.



Spruce Knob Campground

External

1x Bloodbug (mixed insect spawn)


From the spawn-in point, turn SW and run forward. Keep going forward until you get to a path with some ticks. Kill the ticks and then take the path on the right (South) and keep walking down. Take the path on the right and at the end, at the campsite, will be a Bloodbug.


Ransacked Bunker

External

4x Bloodbugs


From the fast travel point, turn SW and run down towards the water. Jump over the sandbags and the boat and keep walking straight. You will see a dead Brahmin on your left or the bloodbugs will attack you first.



Haven Church

External

4x Bloodbugs


From the spawn-in point, turn and face SW. Run straight, through the water and to the other side. The Bloodbugs will be within the circle of trees in front of you.



Crevasse Dam

External

3x Bloodbugs


From the fast travel point, face NE and run over to the back of the Dam buildings. At the back of the buildings is a bridge over the top of the damn. Stand on the bridge and face East. Jump off the bridge and follow the river bank on the right-hand side. Keep following the river bank until you see a dead Brahmin or dead Yao Guai. The bloodbugs can be found on the river, around the corpse.



Excelsior Model Home

External

4x Bloodbugs


From the fast travel point, turn and face East. Run straight until you see a broken bridge and a truck filling the gap made by the broken bridge. The 3 Bloodbugs will spawn near the Brahmin Corpse just before and to the left of the bridge.



Southhampton Estate

External

4x Bloodbugs


Bloodbugs spawn both inside the house and in the shed.



Skyline Valley

Old Rag Lookout

External

3x Bloodbugs


After fast traveling to the location, turn to face South and proceed forward until you reach the area beneath the lookout tower. Bloodbugs may not appear right away; if they don't, it's possible they were either defeated by someone else or are temporarily stuck. To encourage them to spawn, walk slowly toward the cliff's edge—this should trigger their appearance.

Containers:

Bloodbug meat among other types of meat and insect bits, can be found in various containers around the map.


There are no perks, perk cards, or magazines that can better your chances of finding meat in the below containers.


External - a location that does not require a load screen to enter.

Internal - a location or instance that requires a load screen to enter.


Super Mutant Meat Bags (1.54% chance)

Scorchbeast Guano Piles (1.54% chance)

The below containers receive an honorary mention but there are far too many of them to list.


It is worth noting that "Can Do" works on bear-proof trash cans, coolers, lunch pails, and fridges. So if you use canned coffee in your build, make sure to equip the "Can Do" perk card under luck for a better chance to find coffee.


Bear-proof trash cans (1.54% chance)


Coolers and Lunch Pails (1.41% chance)


Refrigerator's (0.29% chance)

Hi, I'm Kat or Duchess

I'm an Australian data miner who writes farming, event, and food buff guides for Fallout 76.

I believe that all knowledge and information should be free, which is why my guides will never be locked behind a paywall. However, running a website and photo and video editing software does not come cheaply.

​​

So, If you found my guides helpful, please consider buying me a ko-fi (coffee) using the link below.

​​

All monies go towards the tools for writing my guides and maybe for an actual cup of coffee or 3 ;)

Alternatively, share my guides with your fellow vault dwellers and help them to survive the wasteland.
