The Scorched are humans who have succumbed to the Scorched Plague.
Background
The disease is spread by direct contact or droplets.[1] The Vault 76 overseer describes the creatures flying overhead to be capable of infecting those below from the sky.[2] It causes both humans and creatures to transform into Scorched.
The effects start with a series of significant physical changes in its victims. At first, the victim's skin will darken, and smell of ash.[3] Eventually, intense burning lesions begin to form.[4] After some time, the victim's skin will split open, exposing the presence of green ultracite crystals that break up from beneath their skin.[5] The plague results in subjects being controlled by a hive mind.[6][7][8]
Human specific information
A Scorched human can result when a human is infected by the Scorched Plague which in turn mutates its host. The effects are similar to those that affect other animals. Scorched humans are able to use melee weapons and firearms. They wear tattered civilian wear, military uniforms and faction outfits such as the varied dress of the Responders or armor of the raiders. Their vocalizations refer to themselves in the plural, with typical phrases being "we are one" or "never alone."[9]
In 2103, following the elimination of the Scorchbeast Queen and subsequent vaccination of the settlers and raiders who have returned to Appalachia, the Scorched influence on the region is in decline. Fixtures comprised of the dismembered corpses of Scorched are not uncommonly found mounted onto the walls of outposts and strongholds claimed by regional factions such as the Blood Eagles or the Cult of the Mothman.
There are no known scorched ghouls. Feral ghouls are known to be highly resistant to the Scorched Plague.[10]
Gameplay attributes
Scorched are affected by the Zealot's legendary effect. They will attack anything or anyone that is not infected with the Scorched Plague.
Variants
Variants are not distinguished visually and will instead wear tattered versions of outfits determined by the location's theme, eg. asylum outfits near Fort Defiance, skiing gear around Top of the World or Responder gear around Morgantown Airport.

Scorched officer
Scorched officers were once high-ranking officers in the United States Armed Forces, responsible for carrying one of eight launch code keys needed to launch a nuke from Appalachia's nuclear I.C.B.M. silos. They can be identified by unique radio packs on their back, emitting both red light and a high-pitched tone that sound off in a regular sequence. All regular Scorched variants may be an officer variant with the same stats, abilities and items.

Appearances
The Scorched appear in Fallout 76. Scorched in the form of petrified corpses also appear in Fallout: Wasteland Warfare.
Bugs
- Scorched may be frozen in place and the player can damage them, and they may still be standing after they are killed. The church in Helvetia is a major site for this. [verified]
- When a Scorched is posing as a petrified corpse, a headshot kill with a ranged weapon may send them ragdolling into the air. [verified]
- Scorched appear to lack unique animations for turning around when they have yet to pull out their weapon, and casually turn to face behind them like a non-Scorched human character when becoming hostile before assuming their Scorched-specific active weapon animation.[verification overdue]
