Fasnacht Event Process
The fasnacht event takes place once on the hour in Helvetia .
In Helvetia, the master of ceremonies is waiting for you on the bridge. To start the event, speak to him. As soon as the event starts, you have the task of helping the participants of the fasnacht parade with the preparations. The participants are different at each event and are spread across Helvetia. There are the following participants and tasks:
- Cheerful candle maker
Collect beeswax - Happy Decorator
Help him choose the right decorations in the barn - Happy baker collect
Collect Toad eggs - Lively Musician
Play music with the musician - Sociable Librarian
Collect Fasnacht Beersteins - Exuberant Woodsman
Collect 50 wood - Happy Butcher
Collect squirrel intestines - Lively Beekeeper
Defeat honey beasts
After the preparations have been completed, all robots or carnival participants gather at the church at the start of the parade.
As soon as everyone has arrived, we head towards the bridge. There comes the first attack from RAD toads . As soon as this attack has been repelled, go over the small bridge towards Honey House and past it into the meadow. There is a second attack from super mutants . Your job is to make sure that all robots reach the finish line. As soon as one of the robots is destroyed, there is no longer any chance of getting the rare masks. If the robots suffer greatly from the attacks, you can use the perk card "Friendly Fire" under charisma and a weapon with a flame mod, e.g. a flamer, a kebab knife or a Pryo crusader pistol, to heal the bots back to full health.
After the second attack has been overcome, we head back towards the church. There is a jeep there that can explode. You should destroy it before the robots run past it. On the road towards the church there is another attack, for example from wolves or stingers. This attack also spawns a Legendary Mega Sloth (PTS: or Ogua, Sheepsquatch, Behemoth, Blue Devil or Grafton Monster).
At the end, the carnival fire is lit and the event is over. If all 5 bots survived, you might get a rare mask). In any case, you will receive a legendary 3* reward every time you complete the event.
Donations Box
Beside the bonfire at the church you can now find a donation box. There you can leave unwanted fasnacht berets, sun masks and other things for other players.
Rewards
Very interesting again is the guaranteed 3* Mystery Pool reward at the end of the fasnacht event, no matter how many bots are still alive! You know: Mystery Pool is the “mystery pick” of the legendary purveyor. So for each event completion you get a 3* item from the secret selection. This can include all available weapons, including Crusader Pistols, Plasma Cutters, Hellfire Rocket Launchers, War Glaives, Fixers, Gauss Minigun, Secret Service Armor, Brotherhood Recon Armor, etc. So it's worth it.
Default Rewards
Important Note: All masks now only drop from the boss at the end of the Fasnacht event. They no longer drop from the event itself.
New Option: As with other events, there is a new server-side option. This allows Bethesda to double the drop rate of rare masks during the event. (Increased drop chance: 0.454% instead of 0.227%)
28th Feb 2026: This option was now activated and is confirmed to be active until 2nd march at reset!
Rare Masks
In addition to the usual plans and masks, there are 22 rare masks :
These masks have a drop chance of 0.227% (previously: 0.25%) per mask if all 5 bots survive. If fewer survive, the chance for these rare masks drops to 0.
In the last Season of the Event, the requirements for suviving robots have been removed. It's enough, if one robot survives to get a chance on the rare rewards!
The common masks are:
The uncommon masks are:
You can receive the following plans:
The "Friendly Fire" perk now works on all types of weapons with fire mods. So it's much easier to heal the bots again and save the event. (See picture attached)
Tips for Fasnacht farming
-
All 5 bots must survive (otherwise the rare masks will not drop; 0.333% drop chance)This requirement was completely removed. -
Equip weapon with flame mod on switch button e.g. kebab knife, crusader pistol with pyro, flamethrower or similar (healing the bots) or any Medics Weapon.
-
Always stock up on intestines, wood, beer mugs, beeswax and toad eggs
-
Equip perks: Martial artist (faster striking/healing, butchers bounty (more intestines), friendly fire (healing with flames mod), lumberjack (collecting more wood), possibly good with salt (so that the intestines don't go bad so quickly)
-
Destroy cars before the bots run past (jeep by the fire, green car by the bee house)
-
Be careful with Molotov cocktails , these do the most damage to the bots
-
If a bot is hit, heal it immediately with Fire Perk (or flamer, or other weapon with flame mod or Medics Mod) , the other players need to stay alarmed to prevent more damage.
-
At the end , pay attention not only to the boss, but also to the animals that attack the bots, otherwise a bot will end up falling over.
-
Always attend the event public on the hour and then switch servers to have a chance to finish the event again.
Comments:
- Anschiessen? Muss man den Endboss persönlich oder als Team anschiessen damit der Loot gibt? Wenn ja, denke ich dass viele Spieler leer ausgehen weil er doch oft mal Hinter einem Häusschen versteckt in gefühlt einer Sekunde von jemanden getötet wird.
- Entfernung? Reicht es im Eventbereich zu sein um ihn zu looten oder muss man wie bei gewöhnlichen Gegnern relativ nahe sein? Denke da an Übergewicht und daher nicht schnell genug beim Endboss/Feuer zu sein. 08.02.2026 at 22:31:26
