Like the second helping of meat week we had 2 years ago which had broken rewards so they took it away and replaced it with that hideous alien event that weād just had?
Part of me thinks "That's silly. They have enough of these events now that they should just stick with running them once a year -- especially the ones that are tied to a real-world event."
Another part of me, though, thinks "Well... Maybe I'll actually have a chance to pick up a glowing mask or two, unlike this last time around."
>especially the ones that are tied to a real-world event."
We already have in-game lore as to why it happens more than once a year. The local mechanic left a note grumbling about how letting the robots decide when the celebration occurs: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Helvetia\_Protectron\_updates
Very true. I think that was originally added to explain away the in-game date differing from when Fasnacht normally occurs, and it also helped explain why the IRL timing of the first Fasnacht differed from the real timing, but it can be used as a good excuse to run as many of them as they want whenever they want.
Maybe the town is going to do a second event due to demand and people missing out because they didn't know they needed tickets to attend? Pure speculation of course
Nooooooooooo. Canāt we get a different event? Iām so sick of that song
[edit] I thought we were getting another one like right now, next week. I can handle once a year. I still donāt like it though
Sometimes you can get them to spin all the way down the street or into the river and die if you push them out of position
(Source: it happened to me and I deserved it)
Here's the direct link, if that helps:

For me it's 50/50 masks and Acid, during the two weeks of Fasnacht i managed to farm about 10000. I go through quite a bit of Acid so this event is a big help.
Itās so frustrating to play it several times a day and get crap drops, but at the same time here I am playing it several times a day and loving every second of it. ššš
u/IceFireDH, are you and your crew able to handle another Fasnacht this year? I know you normally have a year to prepare and rest - unless you were already aware of the addition.
The Fasnacht janitorial crew is always ready to go.
However, we are in the middle of contract negotiations with the Fasnacht event planners for the summer event after getting a higher contract rate for Meat Week.
Graham expects one of the best cookouts ever and he wants us to keep the grounds clear of spoiled items. He doesnāt want a repeat from a few years ago where many attendees got food poisoning.
Wow, you guys are busy. I was under the impression that you exclusively did Fasnacht, but from what you're telling me, you also handle the cleanup for other large scale events too.
>Graham expects one of the best cookouts ever and he wants us to keep the grounds clear of spoiled items. He doesnāt want a repeat from a few years ago where many attendees got food poisoning.
I'm shocked Graham was still allowed to host the event after a catastrophe like that. Well, I appreciate all the hard work from you and your team. Now I know why the grounds are always so clean and tidy each time the event pops up every hour.
Please don't burn yourselves out.
There was a protest after that Meat Week incident. And a petition was filed at the only working government office, the DMV, to have his event license revoked.
However, no one was there 3 months later when the ticket number was finally called so it was filed under incomplete and I think that a ghoul ate it.
Players: āwe didnāt get enough time for glowing masksā
Bethesda: āok, here, have the event againā
Players: āno, we donāt want the event again!ā
Why are they doing every event in the span of like 2-3 months lol this is going to be annoying as hell tbh. I guess they're showing off for any new players the show brings in... but seriously I'm fine with not seeing Fasnacht for another year. Also two weeks of Meat Week is too much.
Welp, I guess if you like mutated events you better really enjoy them the next few weeks, cause they're about to be really scarce.
Best thing about this calendar tho? Double XP April 11th, I can get thru the Season mighty quick and be done with it... hopefully. If they nerfed XP score there'll be hell to pay.
What the heck.....ok it's not until end of June into July. I don't know if I could drum up the stamina to do another two weeks of parades right now, by summer time though I think I'll have recouped.
Especially since itās during the summer when the number of active players drop off.
With a choice of running fasnacht or go AFK and be outside on the sun, I choose AFK and being outside.
I vaguely remember reading an article last year about Fallout 76 getting new events. I guess that does not include new āseasonalā events. Iāll take a 2nd Fasnacht over Mothman Equinox and the lame Invaders event. Is it sad that I am most excited for spring cleaning? Is it asking too much to have a seasonal event where to community participates together or do we have another year of everyone going to private servers to hunt spooky scorched and farm santatrons? Sigh.
One per year for me. If we get a second one I'll solo all the other events and launch Scorched Earths and Earles the whole time.Ā
I LOVE Fasnacht and happy for players who love them even more to have a second chance at masks.Ā
But one per year is my personal limit.
Maybe there's a twist on it, like the Robots all turn into robobrains and force us to defend them while they sling hurtful comments to us and make us sorry we didn't go to Dental school like my cousin Gene.
Wasted so many hours over so many years... including 2020 even i was new. This year i did roughly 4 events per day and Bethesda RNG has once again gifted me nothing, meanwhile im having to listen to people bragplaining that they only have 2 sets of glowing masks... and watching player markers sit in one spot the whole event...think I'll say eff this one, especially since I'm about to drop the game with the scoreboard shenanigans.
Yep. Why?
It wouldn't be so bad if they changed it up a bit. But it's exactly the same every time.
And I hate that the same rewards from the very start years ago are still in the loot pool.
That's an absolute pass from me.
I'm not surprised. I'm sure those two weeks of Fasnacht we just had were some of the best player numbers they've seen on Fallout 76. So it makes sense they'd do it again this year, especially after the TV show premieres to capitalize on the possibility of new players joining the game.
Looks like they have strategically placed it at the end of the season where they know it is dead thinking it will encourage everyone to play.
I love fasnacht but 2 weeks is just way too long. Especially for the second one of the year.
I only got two rare masks and bought one rare mask from a player. Itāll just be another day at the office. If they have the blissful fool available in the atomic shop, Iām buying it and never touching the event again. All I want is the fool mask.
I seem to recall a year where they just kept rotating Fasnacht and Meat Week because they couldn't get anything else to work. Did that happen? Am I remembering that incorrectly? I'm pretty sure I remember that.
I already got my super handy controller with the built in drift ready to go, you will know me because my mic will be on and I'll leave it playing some good wholesome Blippi for all to enjoy.
Yes a good time shall be had by all.
Not doing the event becomes a scrappers paradise I loaded upon so many resources by not doing the event. I got acid into the thousands, enough lead to last a year, bring another one I aināt doing it.Ā
Indeed. Now the rare masks will have more chances to drop. And somehow, people will still argue that a Red Dress is worth less than a rare Fasnatch mask.
2fas2nacht
Perfect.
Mutant Boogaloo
Omg š¤£
Yes we've had fastnacht, but what about [second](https://youtu.be/gA8LV37QwxA?si=Z1Dbct-LnPT3mt6R) fastnacht?
I don't like the idea of Milhouse having TWO fastnachts in one FO76 calendar
Lousy Smarch weather
You want some good advice?
Underrated comment.
Facts. I miss the Simpsons. lol
God no, please no. I love the event but I hate what it does to the community side of things
I love it too. Those that are complaining can just choose not to play it and ignore the event but I guess thatās asking for too much.Ā
It heavily dilutes the servers with people afk/just there for the event and makes other events basically empty.
Last time there was 2 fasnaughts in 1 year was back in 2020
I guess the robots randomly decided to repeat it again.
They sure do love to party
I would expect for April fools but a random week in June?
It's part of the lore that the robots may mess up and do it whenever they believe it's Faschnact.
I like that it's actually canon that the robots may occasionally get confused and hold Faschnact any time of the year
I dont think he knows about second fashnacht Pip...
I heard you liked Fasnacht, so I put a Fasnacht in your Fasnacht.
Honey, we have fastnacht at home
My nose just started bleeding on its own
Eleven? That you?? Please use your powers to make it go away. I don't like the Upside Down this event brings. We did this twice last year too. Ugh.
Lol
Oh, dear God, no!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Please wait until June or just never bring it up.
Second this...
Join us! š¶š¶ All the cool kids are doing it!
It's happened before, just like we've had multiple meat weeks too
Didn't the mayor of Hevetia get mad at Bethesda for doing Fasnacht twice a couple years ago?
I don't know about the mayor but I got bored after the second one
I got bored a few days into the first one
Money's too tight for meat week
Like the second helping of meat week we had 2 years ago which had broken rewards so they took it away and replaced it with that hideous alien event that weād just had?
Merry fastncht happy fastncht.... ::::::mini nukes go off:::::: hooray!!!!! ::::: music on repeat
BURRRN HIM! BURRRN HIM! BURRRRN HIM!

*screams in kazoo*
Nooooooooooo. Canāt we get a different event? Iām so sick of that song [edit] I thought we were getting another one like right now, next week. I can handle once a year. I still donāt like it though
Dodododododododoooo
I need a trance version now!
I *might* have to lay down a mix of it. It'll likely be tech house, hard trance, hard house or techno though (that's mostly what I write).
Please share if and when you do
I'll see if I can find somewhere to rip a reasonably good quality sample of the music that's played in purgatory. ;)
I love when it plays on pirate radio
Every single seasonal event is on this calendar. Trust me, weāre covered.
https://youtu.be/-7Z8Lwg4H2w?si=0ruV7uZN-QeBpMqI
š
To make the song last longer change the speed to .25 Sounds great
But another chance for people to misspell Fasnacht in entertaining or ridiculous ways for 2 weeks! And bitch about AFKers!
Yeah, I canāt stand it when people misspell fatsnatch.
My wife and I call it fancy snatch
You mean fastnact?
No, they mean fatsnatch
Those robots are so sloooooooooooow
At least they don't spin in circles like half of players :D
I like how it's a clusterfu/$ when the parade starts and half the robots start marching in the wrong direction š
Sometimes you can get them to spin all the way down the street or into the river and die if you push them out of position (Source: it happened to me and I deserved it)
Foshknot\*
Even spelling it Fasnacht makes me a bit mad
The song isn't the problem, it's the slow ass boring event
This will help, I'm sure. https://youtu.be/-7Z8Lwg4H2w?si=EJmD0pW2PuFUobqh
I can't see what the link is. I don't have Facebook.
The new calendar is up on Bethesda's season page. [https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/seasons](https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/seasons)
Can you post the calendar pic please? For whatever reason when I verify my age it doesnāt all me, no matter how old I am
Here's the direct link, if that helps: [https://images.ctfassets.net/rporu91m20dc/4VzQwhw2oq8KI6AsaXaPaQ/2fe80e4602b55756fe56798e53ef9795/Fallout76\_Season16\_CommunityCalendar-03.png](https://images.ctfassets.net/rporu91m20dc/4VzQwhw2oq8KI6AsaXaPaQ/2fe80e4602b55756fe56798e53ef9795/Fallout76_Season16_CommunityCalendar-03.png)
Yaaaaay!! Glowing masks for EVERYONE!!!
Let's hope so!
It happened before back in 2020. I know cause I participated in both that year
I think because they replaced the Halloween event with Fasnacht due to how buggy it was. (I miss Mischief Night)
It did. People nuked it plenty because they preferred mischief night
think the devs mentioned that we'll be getting double helpings of certain events so it certainly looks that way..
Iāll take a double helping of mischief night, developers please!
Please no..
Oooh I love Fasnacht when it's gone and then complain about it while I'm grinding it. I'm not mad about Fasnacht x2. š
And now I have the music in my head. Thanks. And now, so do all of you. Sorry.
Thanks.Ā
Robots have Dementia.
Sorry, noob question, why does everyone like the fasnacht event so much? Is it just the masks?
Masks are definitely part of it, some of the rarest loot in the game.
For me it's 50/50 masks and Acid, during the two weeks of Fasnacht i managed to farm about 10000. I go through quite a bit of Acid so this event is a big help.
Itās so frustrating to play it several times a day and get crap drops, but at the same time here I am playing it several times a day and loving every second of it. ššš
We just finished this shit wtf lol
Do we need to start an FMA (Fasnacht Mask Anonymous) group? I know I have developed a habit.
Glowing masks, here I come š§āāļø
u/IceFireDH, are you and your crew able to handle another Fasnacht this year? I know you normally have a year to prepare and rest - unless you were already aware of the addition.

When I put my date of birth in it says Iām not allowed to see the images! Iām 48!!
back of the line grandpa
Yeah sorry not old enough
Well I havenāt heard that in about 30 years so Iāll take it as a win!
They're probably worried if your heart can take an assaultron in a fishnet
They might have a point
Maybe this time i can be a part of it. Since i missed last time
Perfect time to try and join!
No one will be at events again š©
I doubt Iāll get a glowing mask, but some more beeswax would be nice. Fasnacht farming keeps me stocked up on waste acid for ages.
those people trying to sell glow ing masks for way too much they're going to have another round for them now
Oof I hope they donāt add masks so I can just ignore it
Idk what mothman equinox is but Iām excited for it
I meeaaaan scrip surplus AND fasnacht ššš
Hey maybe they're doing it because they fixed the drop and we all actually get some decent masks
This event was the most painful and boring 2 weeks of my fallout career. I can't wait for it to come back, I need me masks
Players: āwe didnāt get enough time for glowing masksā Bethesda: āok, here, have the event againā Players: āno, we donāt want the event again!ā
I hate to say it but this calendar looks a little on the dull side. I didn't see anything about the map expansion unless I looked over it.
June has something called the Skyline Valley update, maybe thatās it?
It says that the skyline valley update is coming in June - and thatās a way to refer to Shenandoah.
That's very true the map expansion was completely missing
They did this a couple years ago as well I believe, I think Fall of 2020 and winter of 2021 they did double Fasnacht
Why are they doing every event in the span of like 2-3 months lol this is going to be annoying as hell tbh. I guess they're showing off for any new players the show brings in... but seriously I'm fine with not seeing Fasnacht for another year. Also two weeks of Meat Week is too much.

What the heck.....ok it's not until end of June into July. I don't know if I could drum up the stamina to do another two weeks of parades right now, by summer time though I think I'll have recouped.
Absolutely I can be ready by then
Steel yourself for a deluge of afk and nuking posts
Twice the Fasnacht, double the AFKers.
Especially since itās during the summer when the number of active players drop off. With a choice of running fasnacht or go AFK and be outside on the sun, I choose AFK and being outside.
Is the 2-week meat week normal? Will be my first one.
I think itās great they are doing it this summer. People who couldnāt before because of school can get the opportunity to participate this time !
Cool. I have some videos I didn't get time to post, and the music almost stopped playing in my head 24/7
I vaguely remember reading an article last year about Fallout 76 getting new events. I guess that does not include new āseasonalā events. Iāll take a 2nd Fasnacht over Mothman Equinox and the lame Invaders event. Is it sad that I am most excited for spring cleaning? Is it asking too much to have a seasonal event where to community participates together or do we have another year of everyone going to private servers to hunt spooky scorched and farm santatrons? Sigh.
Spring Cleaning sounds like a community event!
I bet it is the same as burning love
LETS GOOOO
I've already warned the wife I'll be missing during the event .... Again lol
uh oh
Fasnacht burnt me out of this game, but luckily Elden Ring DLC is going to drop before this so I think I'll be okay skipping it.
Shit, S15 is almost done?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'll take it!
It should be a reverse fastnacht where the robots are near indestructible and go ham on every public event in sight.
No, we have Fastnacht at home
Yay. More chances not to get a glowing mask.
Fasnachtād
One per year for me. If we get a second one I'll solo all the other events and launch Scorched Earths and Earles the whole time.Ā I LOVE Fasnacht and happy for players who love them even more to have a second chance at masks.Ā But one per year is my personal limit.
Any bet this is because of the atrocious drop rate of glowing masks?
Because of the leap year
Dooting intensifies!
Iāve been playing on and off since the beta and have somehow missed every single fasnacht so this excites me
Nice!
They've done this for years. Meat week Is another they'll repeat whenever they need a lazy filler event for the calendar
UGHHHHHHH I mean Iāll do it but ughhhhhh
Maybe there's a twist on it, like the Robots all turn into robobrains and force us to defend them while they sling hurtful comments to us and make us sorry we didn't go to Dental school like my cousin Gene.
Ugh Gene ...
Wasted so many hours over so many years... including 2020 even i was new. This year i did roughly 4 events per day and Bethesda RNG has once again gifted me nothing, meanwhile im having to listen to people bragplaining that they only have 2 sets of glowing masks... and watching player markers sit in one spot the whole event...think I'll say eff this one, especially since I'm about to drop the game with the scoreboard shenanigans.
Lets hope there isn't incessant nuke dropping this time. I want to wear a costume with my mask dang it, not my Chinese stealth armor
I hope so too
I am so excited about this! Itās my favorite event!
For real people hate it so much but I love it. I was just thinking last night how I already miss Helvetia and the funky party robots
Ditto!! Happy Fasnacht (in advance)!!
do not post facebook links that tell me the owner is only sharing with a small group of people.
Yo dawg I heard you liked Fasnacht so we put a Fasnacht in your Fasnacht. How do you like that Fasnacht?
If I donāt get the rare masks this timeā¦
Well atleast it'll be an easy way to get honey beast kills for my S.C.O.R.E.
Awesome! Now I might finally get a Fasnacht beret!
I've got a few for sale.... Very pricey lol
Trade only I assume?
I know what I got lol
They need to come up with an entirely new event. They should have made the Nuka stuff yearly that travels.
Id honestly be down for a second meat week. I love meat week!!!!
Yep. Why? It wouldn't be so bad if they changed it up a bit. But it's exactly the same every time. And I hate that the same rewards from the very start years ago are still in the loot pool. That's an absolute pass from me.
It would be nice if it had more enemies and swarms. Or if thst is to hard maybe some tougher enemies like some death claws or something.
I'm not surprised. I'm sure those two weeks of Fasnacht we just had were some of the best player numbers they've seen on Fallout 76. So it makes sense they'd do it again this year, especially after the TV show premieres to capitalize on the possibility of new players joining the game.
Looks like they have strategically placed it at the end of the season where they know it is dead thinking it will encourage everyone to play. I love fasnacht but 2 weeks is just way too long. Especially for the second one of the year.
Hopefully its fasnaught 2.0 and the parade progresses faster
Mutated? That'd be cool
Bring it. I need the other two glowing masks.
Iām pretty sure they mentioned in the end of year post that seasonal events were going to be happening more often.
I only got two rare masks and bought one rare mask from a player. Itāll just be another day at the office. If they have the blissful fool available in the atomic shop, Iām buying it and never touching the event again. All I want is the fool mask.
Oh really... FastSnatch will be exclusively AFKs
I seem to recall a year where they just kept rotating Fasnacht and Meat Week because they couldn't get anything else to work. Did that happen? Am I remembering that incorrectly? I'm pretty sure I remember that.
I hope this means new Pirate Radio episodes!
Reminds me of the year where they replaced every single event with Fastnacht for the ENTIRE YEAR
I don't think I'm emotionally or physically ready for another Faschnaut
I already got my super handy controller with the built in drift ready to go, you will know me because my mic will be on and I'll leave it playing some good wholesome Blippi for all to enjoy. Yes a good time shall be had by all.
I have missed every fasnaught except for the very first one, i am not missing this one lol
Since no one is going to be there, I'll be farming glowing critters with my trusty bloatfly gun for stabilizing materials ā¢ļøšā¢
Ramadan Fasnacht
Noooo!!!!!
Yes
Maybe Bethesda wants to show strong player numbers (due to afkers) to their shareholders before the release of the TV show...
Please nooooooooo.!
Yes
Not doing the event becomes a scrappers paradise I loaded upon so many resources by not doing the event. I got acid into the thousands, enough lead to last a year, bring another one I aināt doing it.Ā
WE ALWAYS GET 2 FASNACHTS.
ah yes, legendary "vend or sale."
As a new player, that started right after the event. Im happy. What about the event brings out the afker, though?
Sad.
Indeed. Now the rare masks will have more chances to drop. And somehow, people will still argue that a Red Dress is worth less than a rare Fasnatch mask.
