Detailed walkthrough[]

Every 15 minutes, three separate Primal Cuts events will simultaneously begin in any three of the six regions of Appalachia. Upon arriving at the event, the Vault Dwellers will have to bang on a drum near the center of the location to begin, where Grahm has hung up some bait meat to lure in potential predators. They will then fight through four waves of "prime" creatures. The creatures vary based on the region and may include mongrels, radscorpions, wolves, mirelurks, etc. Wave 1 and 2 contain smaller creatures like the mongrels and wolves. Wave 3 consists of larger creatures assisted by smaller creatures, such as yao guai or mirelurk kings. In the fourth wave, there will be a boss, which has a high chance to be a legendary creature. The boss will be supported by both small and large creatures. Once the boss is killed, the event is complete.
