Mutated public events are a gameplay feature in Fallout 76, introduced in the Mutation Invasion update. They combine mutations previously exclusive to Daily Ops with a selection of public events. Piercing Gaze and Savage Strike are not possible mutations for Mutated Public Events.
Frequency[]
Mutated events are rolled for at the top of the hour, picking from events listed below and selecting one of the possible mutations. As with Daily Ops, mutated public events are planned to feature double mutations at a future date.
Participating in mutated events grants the mutated package. If at least three Fallout 1st players participate, the mutated party pack is awarded instead, which grants improved rewards.
Mutated public events are a community event, and will only occur when the community event is active.

Rewards[]
- Completing a mutated event will grant 35 legendary scrip, 1 Treasury Note, and a mutated package. If three or more Fallout 1st subscribers are present when the event finishes, a mutated party pack is awarded to all players instead.
- Although not presently active, double mutation events appear to be planned for inclusion, and leveled lists exist for various combinations of mutations. The generic list states that rewards for double mutation events are, well, doubled: 70 scrip, 2 treasury notes, and either a double mutated package or a double mutated party pack.
- Opening the mutated packs is the only way to earn one of four new legendary weapons (Longshot sniper rifle, The Peacemaker grenade launcher, Boomstick missile launcher, and Overkill Fat Man).
