Use the lure at (Location) to trap a Scorchbeast on the ground and defeat it!

Event: It's a Trap is an event in Fallout 76.

Quick walkthrough[]

The scorchbeast detector has gone off, reporting an attack. The Dwellers need to lure the scorchbeast to the marked location and trap it so that it is grounded, at least for a while.

The event requires Dwellers to first activate the lure, trapping the scorchbeast to make it easy to take down.

Detailed walkthrough[]

When the quest appears on the map, head to the location where a scorchbeast lure was set up by the Free States. Activate the lure, and a scorchbeast in the vicinity is drawn to it and will be forced to land near it. It is then left at the mercy of the Vault Dwellers for several minutes, while the batteries on the lure last for as long as they can. If the scorchbeast is killed before the timer expires, the quest is completed. If the timer expires, the batteries on the lure run out of power, and the scorchbeast escapes by going airborne again, failing the quest in the process.

As with all scorchbeasts, Scorched human infantry will attempt to protect it from any threat, thus they will also be attracted to the lure, and can serve as a needed distraction to protect the scorchbeast until the lure runs out of power by drawing attention to themselves and away from the scorchbeast, especially if using melee weapons to stun and stagger the Vault Dwellers.
