From the fast travel point, run forward and follow the road past the Church. Stop when you get to the carpark of the Flatwoods Tavern on your left. Turn Left (East), you should be facing two cooking stations, a possum, and some tables and chairs.

Walk forward, jump over the tent, and walk up the hill to the road. Turn left (North) and follow the road. Stop when you get to the white and blue trailer home on your left.

Don't forget to check the rare baseball bat spawn up the road.


Cliffwatch

Run forward from the spawn in location and clear the enemies from the location. Once the enemies are cleared, face NW and you will see a two-story structure on the cliff's edge. Walk up the stairs to the top floor and the Squirrel Bits are in the frying pan, on the stove, on the floor.

Hi, I'm Kat or Duchess

I'm an Australian data miner who writes farming, event, and food buff guides for Fallout 76.

I believe that all knowledge and information should be free, which is why my guides will never be locked behind a paywall. However, running a website and photo and video editing software does not come cheaply.

​​

So, If you found my guides helpful, please consider buying me a ko-fi (coffee) using the link below.

​​

All monies go towards the tools for writing my guides and maybe for an actual cup of coffee or 3 ;)

Alternatively, share my guides with your fellow vault dwellers and help them to survive the wasteland.
