Sign in to edit

The Whistle in the Dark is a ranged weapon in Fallout 76, introduced in the Nuclear Winter update.

Characteristics[]

The Whistle in the Dark is not one, but two unique versions of the assault rifle. They both come equipped with the Nocturnal, VATS Enhanced and Perception Legendary effects, as well as several non-standard modifications.

  • Nocturnal: Damage increases with the night
  • VATS Enhanced: +50% VATS hit chance
  • Perception: +1 Perception
  • Steadfast receiver
  • Aligned long barrel
  • Aligned stock
  • Piercing magazine
  • Short night vision scope
  • Suppressor
Survival Mode variant (legacy):

The Whistle in the dark was added as a standalone weapon as part of the Nuclear Winter update. It was only obtainable via a Survival Mode weekly challenge which only ran during two separate weeks during 2019. This weapon cannot be painted or Legendary crafted.

Daily Ops variant:

The Whistle in the Dark was added again as a standalone weapon as part of the One Wasteland For All update. This copy may only be crafted upon learning the Plan: Whistle in the Dark, which may be obtained from other players or as a rare Daily Ops reward. It is statistically identical to the original weapon, however it comes equipped with the orange-and-yellow striped Settler paint. Additionally, it cannot be dropped, sold or traded.
