To start the event, speak to the [[Master of Ceremonies]] in [[Helvetia]] at the top of the real-life hour (at XX:00). There's about a 9-10 minute grace period to speak to him before the event is automatically failed if not spoken to beforehand. Once started, the [[Vault Dweller (Fallout 76)|vault dwellers]] involved in the event must find five of the randomly-assigned Protectron marchers in the town. Each Protectron will provide a task corresponding to their profession, and each task must be completed before the parade can begin. After a task is finished, the relevant marcher will walk to the center of town, equip its Fasnacht mask, and wait for the others to arrive. The possible Protectrons and corresponding tasks are as follows:
* Speak to the [[Master of Ceremonies]] in Helvetia.
 
  +
* [[Cheerful Beekeeper]]: Exterminate the [[honey beast]]s which are attacking the Honey Haus. There are usually three in all that need to be dealt with.
* Find the five protectron marchers.
 
  +
* [[Happy Candlemaker]]: Donate [[beeswax]] from the Honey Haus hives to the Candlemaker (0/10)
* Complete five of the following tasks. The tasks will correspond to the profession of the marchers found.

Once all five tasks are completed and all five Protectrons assemble in the center of town, the Master of Ceremonies rushes over to join them and take point as parade leader, and the parade begins its route. First, the group walks east down Pickens Rd. to the front of Freyja's Haus, the yellow-painted restaurant, where it is attacked by swarms of [[radtoad]]s. The Protectrons can sometimes handle these on their own, depending on which ones spawned for the event. After the creatures are eliminated, the group moves north over the wooden bridge toward the Cheese Haus. The marchers stop in the middle of the field as [[Huntersville super mutant|super mutants]], [[Mutant hound (Fallout 76)|mutant hounds]], and [[Huntersville super mutant#Super mutant suicider|super mutant suiciders]] charge the group, with the suiciders being the biggest threat to the Protectrons if they get close enough to damage them when they detonate. Once the mutant assault has stopped, the marchers continue south. Finally, when the parade stops in front of the chapel, hordes of [[Stingwing (Fallout 76)|stingwings]] and [[Wolf (Fallout 76)|wolves]] attack. A legendary [[megasloth]] also spawns near the post office. The enemies spawn and attack when the music played by the Master of Ceremonies abruptly slows and stops before recovering, then repeats once the attack is over and the parade resumes.
** [[Merry Woodsman]]: Add [[Wood (Fallout 76)|wood]] to the bonfire (0/50)
 
  +
* Join the parade and protect the marchers along their route.

After the enemies have been killed, the Fasnacht bonfire must be lit. At least one Protectron marcher needs to be kept alive in order to complete the event, with more survivors netting greater [[#Rewards|rewards]], otherwise, if all five are slain, the quest fails. The participants may also be granted a random [[Fallout 76 legendary effects|legendary]] weapon or armor piece.
* A legendary [[megasloth]], pack of vicious [[Wolf (Fallout 76)|wolves]] and [[Stingwing (Fallout 76)|stingwings]] will spawn when the parade reaches the end of its route at the bonfire.

Fasnacht Day's return in 2020 was initially delayed due to a bug introduced with the release of ''[[Wastelanders]]''. The event was originally slated to be active from May 25 - June 1, 2020, but a bug prevented small creatures from spawning at normal rates on public servers. Since [[intestine]]s, dropped by small animals, could not be obtained but were needed for the [[Gleeful Butcher]]'s parade task, the event could not be completed.
Because of a separate bug that prevented small creatures from spawning at normal rates on public servers, the Fasnacht Day event's return for 2020 was delayed indefinitely. It was originally slated to be active from May 25 - June 1, 2020, but because [[intestine]]s cannot be retrieved when critters do not spawn, the quest could not be completed. The event was disabled on the morning of May 25, having only briefly been active before being delayed. The issue was not present during the 2019 version of the event, as the critters bug had been introduced with ''[[Wastelanders]]''.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/fo76/comments/gqdpw1/ummm_no_small_animals_are_spawning/frs8aee/?context=1000 BethesdaGameStudios_ on Reddit]</ref>

Detailed walkthrough

To start the event, speak to the Master of Ceremonies in Helvetia at the top of the real-life hour (at XX:00). There's about a 9-10 minute grace period to speak to him before the event is automatically failed if not spoken to beforehand. Once started, the vault dwellers involved in the event must find five of the randomly-assigned Protectron marchers in the town. Each Protectron will provide a task corresponding to their profession, and each task must be completed before the parade can begin. After a task is finished, the relevant marcher will walk to the center of town, equip its Fasnacht mask, and wait for the others to arrive. The possible Protectrons and corresponding tasks are as follows:

Once all five tasks are completed and all five Protectrons assemble in the center of town, the Master of Ceremonies rushes over to join them and take point as parade leader, and the parade begins its route. First, the group walks east down Pickens Rd. to the front of Freyja's Haus, the yellow-painted restaurant, where it is attacked by swarms of radtoads. The Protectrons can sometimes handle these on their own, depending on which ones spawned for the event. After the creatures are eliminated, the group moves north over the wooden bridge toward the Cheese Haus. The marchers stop in the middle of the field as super mutants, mutant hounds, and super mutant suiciders charge the group, with the suiciders being the biggest threat to the Protectrons if they get close enough to damage them when they detonate. Once the mutant assault has stopped, the marchers continue south. Finally, when the parade stops in front of the chapel, hordes of stingwings and wolves attack. A legendary megasloth also spawns near the post office. The enemies spawn and attack when the music played by the Master of Ceremonies abruptly slows and stops before recovering, then repeats once the attack is over and the parade resumes.

After the enemies have been killed, the Fasnacht bonfire must be lit. At least one Protectron marcher needs to be kept alive in order to complete the event, with more survivors netting greater rewards, otherwise, if all five are slain, the quest fails. The participants may also be granted a random legendary weapon or armor piece.

Notes

Fasnacht Day's return in 2020 was initially delayed due to a bug introduced with the release of Wastelanders. The event was originally slated to be active from May 25 - June 1, 2020, but a bug prevented small creatures from spawning at normal rates on public servers. Since intestines, dropped by small animals, could not be obtained but were needed for the Gleeful Butcher's parade task, the event could not be completed.

The event was disabled on the morning of May 25, having only briefly been active before being delayed. The issue was not present during the 2019 version of the event and the critters bug was confirmed to have been introduced with Wastelanders.[2] Fasnacht Day was eventually re-enabled without major issue on May 27, with an extension of the festivities until June 9.

Behind the scenes

  • Fastnacht is an actual annual carnival celebrated by Swiss and German people while traditionally wearing masks that represent demons, jesters, witches and animals. In Helvetia, West Virginia it is normally celebrated once per year on the first weekend after Fat Tuesday,[3] and concludes with the burning of an effigy in a bonfire, without any robots or megasloths.[4]
  • The music played during the Fasnacht parade is the 2004 One More Pils instrumental exercise composed by Andy Vale and licensed from APM Music. While the original piece is 1:10 minutes long, the version used in-game is comprised of two 15 second clips that endlessly repeat one after another.[5]
