The cryptid trading cards are a series of eight miscellaneous items in Fallout 76, introduced in the Once in a Blue Moon update, representing collectibles sold with Grey Tortoise cigarettes. This page serves as an overview of the eight trading cards and how to acquire a full set.
Background[]
A limited mini series trading card distributed with Grey Tortoise cigarettes, purporting to explore the "mysterious world of real life Cryptids," allowing smokers to see creatures "science cannot explain."[1]
Characteristics[]
They are a set of trading cards depicting various cryptids that can be traded between players or sold in a C.A.M.P. vending machine. In previous season, Shoot for the Stars, a reward at rank 14, gave the cryptid cards wall display, that allows players to display their collected trading cards at their C.A.M.P.
Although foil variants of each card exist, they are not currently set to drop within the game itself.
Locations[]
All eight of the cryptid trading cards can only be obtained from the following two public events: Beasts of Burden and Safe and Sound. Four are available from the former, and four are available from the latter. Alternatively, they may be acquired from another player, as they are all tradeable items.
