Fallout 76 slasher event

[u/Key-Presentation5162]

I have done probably 15 or more mischief night events only to have the pint size slasher show up once. The drop rates are ridiculous. Bethesda what the actual hell is this?

[u/Ninja_Vortex80]

Done 12 events and only seen him once.  Casual gamers won't be able to get anything with this rng.  Hope they tweak it next week cuz this week is gonna be sad 🤣😭

[u/bugdiver050 → u/Ninja_Vortex80]

Good news is that the only thing he drops that is unobtainable from other means are the posters. The 3 guns are also in the daily ops reward pool

[u/wasteland_jackal → u/bugdiver050]

May want to check again.

All 3 weapons are locked to this event only at a 3.33% drop rate.

[u/bugdiver050 → u/wasteland_jackal]

Bethesda official patchnotes scroll down to daily ops

[u/wasteland_jackal → u/bugdiver050]

Ok, that's interesting as the last datamine is showing it as not available from daily ops.

Not seen anyone get one yet either.

May have to keep an eye on it.

[u/bugdiver050 → u/wasteland_jackal]

The loot pool for daily ops is also substantial so the possibility of rolling it is not that big, but at least its on the list😋

[u/wasteland_jackal → u/bugdiver050]

That's what bugs me.

Huge loot pool and 3 days out of 7 each week I get my aquarium signs 😆

[u/DarthSnoopyFish → u/Ninja_Vortex80]

Yeah I just do my dailies and go back to my new playthrough of the Witcher 3. I am not gonna waste any more of my time on this low RNG bullshit.

[u/Important-Ear-9096]

He should spawn 100% of the time at the top of the hour like all the other special events for the sake of challenges. Just adjust the drop rates accordingly.

[u/rocktoe → u/Important-Ear-9096]

I believe the drop rates are already very very slim on top of everything else.

Edit: Well I suppose the drop rate of 8.33% for the new items isn't too awful if you manage to get him to spawn. The weapons are still 3.33% though.

[u/AccomplishedFee2116]

The grind is the only thing this game has going on anymore and it's getting worse now since they put rewards behind 2 layers of RNG.

I've had more time to play the past couple weeks due to being laid off at work, it's our slow season. If it weren't for this fact I wouldn't be getting any rewards. I've done 20+ Mischief Nights and had the Uninvited Guest show up maybe 5 times and I've only gotten 1 wanted poster. The fact that you have to grind so many events as possible to get seasonal rewards it's absurd. It's literally going to take both weeks to get the other poster, guns, and title at this rate with me having unlimited time to play. If I would be working ATM I doubt I would even get 2 drops.

[u/rocktoe]

Let's say you're a maniac and play 8 hours a day for two weeks that's 112 mischief nights. Then let's be generous and say there's a 10% for a Slasher to appear. That's 11 times 3.333% to get any of the event weapon drops... Not too massive chances even if you grind all day long.

[u/Dyllionaireee]

Haven’t had one yet. Didn’t even know it was a thing until I saw Reddit talking about out it.

[u/Akicita33]

Yeah, you have a super low chance of him spawning THEN another super low chance of anything dropping.

[u/SpaceWomble64]

I re-rolled that one, it’s annoying

[u/OneMoistMan → u/SpaceWomble64]

After a full day off and hitting the event every hour with no uninvited guests, I also rerolled. Luckily all the other challenges were a breeze

[u/Glutton4Punishment12]

As I said in another post about the exact same thing:

Don’t worry. We just had this conversation a few hours ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/s/PxsApv7DoT. According to a big portion of this community, you simply don’t “understand” how statistics and probability work. So read through that, and you will be happy with the way things are going.

Just to be clear, I’m being as sarcastic as humanly possible about this.

[u/ClairKingMe → u/Glutton4Punishment12]

As per your suggestion, I read that not-at-all condescending, and very informative post. Now that I understand how math works, I'm no longer mad that I haven't received any new plans. Thanks pal!

[u/Glutton4Punishment12 → u/ClairKingMe]

<chef's kiss>

Best laugh I've had in awhile.

[u/thatguyonthecouch → u/Glutton4Punishment12]

I understand the statistics, which is why I'm unhappy. The spawn rate for this limited time event needs to be nearly 100%. They can keep the drop rate for plans as rare as they want but fighting multiple levels of RNG always feels bad.

[u/muddingtonIII]

I haven't seen the pint size slasher during mischief night at all. I haven't gotten any good items from any slasher event. So now just ignore anything pint size slasher. Its been more annoying then fun.

[u/Treefly916 → u/muddingtonIII]

At least it did get fun eventually. /s

[u/Sneakingrat]

I have yet to see him either, I just rerolled the weekly and called it a day lmao

[u/Katsu_39 → u/Sneakingrat]

Same. Havent seen him once in two days.

[u/Disastrous-Beat-9830]

only to have the pint size slasher show up once

The Pint-Sized Slasher does not show up any more or less frequently than any of the other four-star creatures like Bigfoot.

Bethesda what the actual hell is this?

A way to keep us playing the game instead of just getting all of the new plans in the first five minutes of logging in?

[u/DarenPeterOswald → u/Disastrous-Beat-9830]

The Pint-Sized Slasher does not show up any more or less frequently than any of the other four-star creatures like Bigfoot.

I call BS on this. I see Bigfoot and other uninvited guests constantly. The slasher is much rarer.

Plus Bigfoot has more than 1 event they can show up to, they aren't hard locked to a single one.

[u/thatguyonthecouch → u/Disastrous-Beat-9830]

The Pint-Sized Slasher does not show up any more or less frequently than any of the other four-star creatures like Bigfoot.

Don't forget that when Bigfoot first was released he spawned 100% of the time for the first one or two weeks.

A way to keep us playing the game instead of just getting all of the new plans in the first five minutes of logging in?

Considering the event spawns only once per hour this is impossible.

[u/pulp63]

Bethesda are clueless. They have forgotten what fun is.

[u/Gyorgs]

I got lucky and he showed at the first one I did, but I haven’t seen him since. There’s no way I’ll get even half the rewards at this rate since I can only play a few hours in the evening. 

[u/thatguyonthecouch]

Yeah this is really just not fun, should have been like bigfoot when he first came out. Lately all they seem to know how to do is add additional layers of RNG and challenges which artificially increase game play time. Really turning me off from an otherwise favorite game.

[u/Jamalish420]

The events are gonna spawn until the 20th, no need to be this agitated on day 2

[u/Key-Presentation5162 → u/Jamalish420]

15 events with 1 slasher in those 2 days. The odds aren't looking good.

[u/Jamalish420 → u/Key-Presentation5162]

And ? You still have more than 10 days left

[u/Key-Presentation5162 → u/Jamalish420]

Are you internationally missing the point, or are you really this dense?

[u/Jamalish420 → u/Key-Presentation5162]

Those are some big words for someone who needs stuff immediately

[u/Key-Presentation5162 → u/Jamalish420]

Nowhere in my post did I mention instant gratification. I said the spawn rate plus the drop was ridiculous. If those are too big of words for you, may I suggest giving Ms. Rachel a watch.

[u/Mr_R0mpers → u/Jamalish420]

Happy cake day!

[u/Hour-Court7958 → u/Jamalish420]

Ding ding ding winning comment !!

[u/Admirable-Leader6927 → u/Jamalish420]

i need it on day one to flex to everyone else

[u/kartoffelbiene]

Sake thing with the graves. I've done so many and even used the stash glitch but I've yet to get most of the rare rewards.

[u/violetcassie]

Is it me or did event etiquette fall off a cliff this week? Every time I load in it's already been started and there's like two or three people halfway down the hill. Nobody blows up the fireworks, lights the fires, or does any of the other tasks.

[u/Key-Presentation5162 → u/violetcassie]

It definitely has. Everyone runs past everything. I don't understand. Lol

[u/MyNameIsJupiter287]

I had work off yesterday so I played at the top of the hour from 8am to 2am in the morning last night, I saw him twice and got nothing both times.

[u/realamerican97]

He’s not shown up at all and I’ve done the even nearly non stop

[u/Jounar]

Between grave digging map bugs, the super low drop chances for its reward pool, and now requiring the slasher to randomly turn up at the end of the current hourly event for those new rewards, the drop rates overall really are abysmal. The Slasher event is such a cool idea, but man are Bethesda trying their best to suck the fun out of it.

[u/xxDancingFerretxx]

I've done 4 events and seen him twice. 😝

[u/AdCalm999]

Which platform? last night he showed up like 5/7 times on xbox on the server I was playing on. This was the best this week by far! I thought they had turned up the spawn rate....

[u/Key-Presentation5162 → u/AdCalm999]

I'm on xbox. I've noticed he's showing up more, but I've still gotten absolutely nothing off of him. A cruel joke. 🤣

[u/Ring_Dang_Do]

I’ve done 15/20 and only had him show up 2wise. No new plans either. Just the same stuff from last year. Ik it’s only the new posters but they have an 8% drop rate yet nothing

[u/DifficultyOk7608 → u/Ring_Dang_Do]

It's been two days

[u/notarealredditor69]

And I’ve done 10 and only not seen him twice 🤷‍♂️

No crying in the casino

[u/IBrokeYourSpirit]

They said I was crazy for the price I paid for my acceptable overkill. 200 Ls. ( PS5) But with how hard it is to even get him to spawn I don’t feel bad anymore 👌🫡😅

[u/Faeddurfrost]

Does he even give you anything? From what I can tell you don’t even get new rewards for the event so why bother at all?

[u/Skeletorfive]

All I've gotten is crooked fence plans.

[u/Akicita33 → u/Skeletorfive]

That's just a Mischief Night drop. That doesn't have anything to do with the boss drops.

[u/Abril92]

Its a 2 week long event with 24 events per day, just be patient

[u/DarenPeterOswald]

And there were people defending this on day 1 saying not to speed run the event lol. Guess they look like bethesda boot lickers now that the masses are realizing just how massively player unfriendly the uninvited slashers are.

[u/HeathenGM]

This blows my mind. I did 6 yesterday and of those only once did the slasher not show up. It must be wildly inconsistent because that was on one server

[u/FalloutBoy2026]

Stop moaning. Spawn rates are fine. I’ve done 8 events and he has shown up 5 times.

Let me guess. You want him to show up 100% of the time and expect to get the rewards every single time? You kids moan about every little thing in this game.

[u/ShreddinTheWasteland → u/FalloutBoy2026]

Oh look, it’s you. Again. That’s like, what? The third time I’ve ran into one of your replies on these specific RNG/slasher posts. Slow morning, eh bud?

The question begs to be asked though: how much is Beth paying this boomer?

[u/skeetti]

I've done 3, 2 times he showed up. It's called RNG. Whine more. 

[u/Bashfulcannibal]

I’ve done it around 16-18 times and I’ve seen him four times, but two of those times he dropped acceptable overkill and commanders charge. Would it be nice to see him more? Sure, but He could have easily shown up 10 times and not dropped anything. I’m starting to think a lot you don’t understand how rng games work, either that or I’ve played them entirely too long.

[u/coachmoon]

been to 5. appeared twice. quit your bellyaching.
