Where to find Bloatfly in Fallout 76

Bloatflies are basically overgrown flies similar to horseflies or mosquitoes; however, their stingers are far more deadly, allowing them to incapacitate their targets. They have decent speed and range as an enemy and tend to attack as a group. They can also come in several variant mutations, from Scorched and Black to Venomous and Glowing.

If you're looking for some, there are various Bloatfly spawn locations you can find around Appalachia. Take a look at our list and see them all marked on the map below:

What are Bloatflies used for in Fallout 76?

There really aren't too many uses for Bloatflies other than killing them. However, they do have a few different drops that could be an item you are looking for. They also tend to be a good source of food to harvest, but I would suggest cooking it into a proper meal since, no matter the variant mutation, they usually hold a lot of rads. Here are their potential drops:

  • Bloatfly Gland
  • Bloatfly Meat
  • Caps
  • Glowing Meat

These are all the locations and uses for a Bloatfly in Fallout 76. Whether you need to find them for a particular resource, for a challenge, or for your own personal goal, they can be found spread in several different areas. Plus, using the Bloatfly Syringe is a great way to spawn them no matter where you are.
