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.

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.

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.
