Where to find Wendigo in Fallout 76

Unless Wendigo finds you!

Originating from Native American folklore stories, Wendigos appear in Fallout 76 as twisted, post-human mutants with enormous and sharp claws. They are somewhat elusive creatures, and you don't often find them while traveling through Appalachia, which I am very thankful for. Regardless, many players are still interested in hunting them down for the loot they drop or for thrill-seeking purposes. Without further ado, here are their locations in Fallout 76.

Beating Wendigos will be challenging when you encounter them. They are friendly with Feral Ghouls and will sometimes use a piercing shriek that attracts a horde of them to their location. I find it easy to deal with them by climbing onto objects or furniture because they won't run away and continue to screech at me.

There are several different Wendigo variants in Fallout 76, and what loot they drop depends on their particular variant.

  • Normal
  •  Glowing
