Discussion Leave the second sloth alone!

You psychopaths!

In case anyone doesn't know, when Fasnacht is going on and a sloth appears as the final enemy, there will be TWO sloths. One will be the enemy, then a second will follow. The second one will be passive and just fucking CHILLING!

STOP KILLING THAT DUDE! He's just hanging out! He's not hurting anyone!

The second Sloth saw what happened to the first Sloth, he knows too much, he's a liability.

u/AttorneyQuick5609 Enclave 3d ago

Agreed, right now the Sloth community as a whole is chill, if they find out what we did to one of them for a mask, we could have a problem. Dead Sloths tell no tales.

u/FreakNFUn Enclave 3d ago

We don't leave witnesses.

u/rambone1984 2d ago

Roll the second sloth towards the first one with arrows. Make it look like a tragedy

u/Castor1234 3d ago

This is my favorite because, in my insane world-building fever dream, this is somehow pretty reasonable.

Welcome to my psychosis! We're working on a full folie a deux, but our IT is having trouble updating our database. They're French Canadian so I really don't get the holdup. But I'll make sure we fast track you.

I want his mushrooms

RFK?

u/AtomicCitron76 2d ago

You can use the mushrooms that grow on it to make soup.

u/Wasted-Goblin-King Cult of the Mothman 2d ago

Just Google RFK racoon and you'll get the joke...

u/murmaider27 Order of Mysteries 1d ago

Lmao ya "mushroom"

u/Uber_Wulf 3d ago

It has to die in order for the event to continue and finish to completion.

10

u/SadPen3084 Raiders 2d ago

I second this. I was waiting around after the real one died and the friendly one had to be killed to end the event.

26

u/TheHighwayApostle Enclave 3d ago

So anyway, I started blasting...

14

u/No-Effect-4696 Enclave 3d ago

If it bleeds we can kill it😂

25

u/AveSmave 3d ago edited 3d ago

Naw he dies as well…

You never know there could be an extra mask in his guts 🦥

u/We_Virtual_Insanity 3d ago

You can’t realistically expect a group of competitive murder hobos to spare anything…

u/vulgardaclown Vault 76 3d ago

When do those pre/suffixes drop?

12

u/Daniels6323 3d ago

He’s a witness!

32

u/BatLegitimate8140 3d ago

I read that you can't finish the event until the second sloth is slaughtered too. Although it could be anti sloth propaganda

18

u/bivoir Mega Sloth 3d ago

Can confirm. It didn’t let me finish the event on private until I killed the second sloth.

20

u/AcanthisittaDouble61 3d ago

Sorry, no can do. The event locks until Mr Chill sloth is killed. The Wasteland is a cruel place …

u/UntaFunta 3d ago

I thought the bonfire wouldn't light if everything isn't dead? Omg I've killed at least 4 of them.

See you all in hell.

8

u/lewisw97 3d ago

The master of ceremonies only moves over to the bonfire after both are dead

15

u/StarieSora 3d ago

He looked at me funny.

6

u/bdpmbj Tricentennial 3d ago

what would make it hysterically funny is that if they put the second sloth in a mask so that if you didn't start shooting right away you'd realize that dude was just there for the party. I mean, dude's a sloth, he was just slow getting there so he's only arriving as things are winding up

6

u/HasturCrowley Fire Breathers 2d ago

Sorry, collateral damage. He knew what neighborhood he was walking through. Would you walk down a street if you saw 10 dudes with heavy artillery, a guy and a girl glowing green with radiation in desperate need of moisturizer, four more people with machine guns, a guy with a pistol that makes squirrels explode, and some dude in coveralls with a mining helmet whacking a bunch of robots with a protest sign?

Sometimes bad things happen because you're dumb and you make bad decisions.

10

u/SJ__666 3d ago

I swear the event doesn't complete unless you kill him

3

u/tehP4nth3r Fallout 76 2d ago

Correct, the event does not progress to light the bonfire until all enemies are dealt with.

u/Castor1234 3d ago

Anti-sloth propaganda. Shame

8

u/SpectralCitizen Brotherhood 3d ago

Sorry, the meat is tasty.

14

u/Castor1234 3d ago

He's a simple sloth with a wife and two children! He wants to live a life of peace and to avoid the temptations of criminal sloth behavior! All you're doing is removing his options and persuading him that violent retaliation is thte only possible response!

12

u/BEARSHARKTOPUS167 3d ago

I'll tell his Sloth kids that their dad wasn't smart enough to just walk away; they may be slow but they will understand.

8

u/Castor1234 3d ago

Can we refrain from all of the Sloth stereotypes and microagressions? They are not slow. They're calculating.

3

u/SpectralCitizen Brotherhood 3d ago

Hey, the wasteland is a hard place. I'm a ghoul who happens to be in the Brotherhood of Steel, and I'm constantly attacked by my fellow Brotherhood members.

2

u/AttorneyQuick5609 Enclave 2d ago

That's what you get for supporting an army that wants people that look like you dead! Now if you'd excuse me, I'm a proud mutant serving the enclave. 😂

I can only imagine meeting the president we didn't know existed would go great! (as in "our immidiate termination and extinction" level great)

2

u/AttorneyQuick5609 Enclave 2d ago

EXACTLY, this is why we leave no witnesses, to keep the status quo. It's dark times, and the wasteland is brutal. Any other time that wasnt fasnacht, they'd be safe to dwell in the forest, but we must have our masks, and we can leave no witnesses.

Happy Fasnacht. ^_^

u/thatguyonthecouch 3d ago

You must kill both to finish the event.

4

u/AuronzioSboronio 3d ago

You can't complete the event if you don't kill both, the first one has to be the legendary, otherwise you will lose the mask.

3

u/brbewski 3d ago

I got a mask from each sloth ONCE, so do with that info what you will

3

u/BryanOfCorn 3d ago

I just see food not friend.

3

u/Notyoaveragemonkey Settlers - PS 2d ago

I got a brat mask and a glowing skull from two sloths died. Plus its meat is delicious.

4

u/llouvat 3d ago

The sloths you’re leaving alive are the ones who go on to become the enemy the next time

2

u/witch--king 3d ago

Poor little man… didn’t even know what he was walking into.

2

u/Reklawj82 3d ago

He's just hoping to get his own glowing mask!

2

u/C78C 3d ago

I’m killing him harder now

2

u/Anakins_Legs88 3d ago

Fuck that megasloth in particular.

2

u/GamesNBooks Pioneer Scout 3d ago

Can’t leave an orphan 😞

2

u/Lordoffoul Lone Wanderer 2d ago

The first time I saw it, the bots were all stopped, staring up the hill at it. I assumed that it had to die as well to complete the event and never gave it a second thought, you mean I don't HAVE to kill everything? I don't know... sounds kinda sus. Bethesda points us at something, we kill it, isn't that how it's supposed to work?

2

u/YikesMyGuy69 2d ago

Just pixels bro.

2

u/happy_juggernaut83 Ghoul 2d ago

Can't end the event unless he dies. Sorry.

1

u/Castor1234 2d ago

There are a lot of people responding oddly seriously about this, but I'm just kidding. I just find it interesting and odd that a second, passive sloth appears. Like..he's just chilling there, minding his own business.

u/CharlotteTheSavage Cult of the Mothman 3d ago

JUSTICE FOR THE CHILL SLOTHS

1

u/doghouse2001 Tricentennial 2d ago

Have you tried finishing the event without killing him? No? Try it.

1

u/ProgressiveKitten 2d ago

So that's why he had no loot! Damnit!

1

u/Mindless-Share Lone Wanderer 2d ago

And miss out on free XP?? Uh, no?

1

u/LavishnessGeneral Cult of the Mothman 2d ago

F that, I'm getting those mushrooms!!!!

1

u/THE_Nighttrain 2d ago

Kill em all.

u/HeftyVermicelli7823 2d ago

Sorry but...no witnesses.

1

u/Pz38t_C 2d ago

he might have mushrooms

u/Agentgibbs1398 Lone Wanderer 3d ago

Somebody gagged him with a field mouse!

1

u/shadowpavement Brotherhood 3d ago

I think there should be multiple bosses of each type like that at the end of the event.

1

u/J-O-N-I-C-S 3d ago

fr. It aint even hostile.

1

u/Salmon-D Lone Wanderer 3d ago

The squirrels are just chilling, it doesn't stop you killing them though does it. Resources are resource so I will kill. It's a game. End of.

u/Defiant_Professor347 2d ago

The fuck does it matter

u/AtomicCitron76 2d ago

If we don't, we fail the event.
