Catch Axolotl: All regions & months (incl Map)
[Update 1st Sept 2025] Axolotl List with Highlighting of the current
With Patch 60, a new feature will be introduced on June 3, 2025: fishing. And here, you can catch rare axolotls every month. In this post, you'll find all available axolotls, as well as a checklist (Plus/Prime users) and a map showing all regions in Appalachia, all water sources, and even all areas where camps can't be built.
Axolotl Monthly Rotation
Axolotls change every month, as you can see from the list. The switch to the next axolotl doesn't happen immediately at midnight, but rather when the challenges are updated.
The rotation occurs at the first weekly reset of each month at 12 p.m. ET with the challenges. Ist the first tuesday of the month at 12 p.m. ET.

Best Weather Conditions and Bait for Axolotl
Optimal weather conditions for catching axolotls are rain and the use of super baits. Super baits are currently only available in the season.
Weather conditions can be influenced via the weather control station in the camp.
Rain

- Snow
- Snow Aurora
- Thunderstorm
Nuke Zone / Rad Storm
Can be created with the following weather control stations:
- Mothman
- Nuke Zone
- Rad Storm
- Skyline Valley
You can set up your camp near the water in the respective region (depending on the month) and set up one of the weather monitoring stations there. This will give you the best chance of catching axolotls. Below you'll find a map with all the regions, including water sources and zones where camps aren't allowed. This will help you find the optimal spot.
