Fallout 76: The Big Bloom Seasonal Event Rewards

Welcome to The Big Bloom – A New Spring Event in Fallout 76

Spring has officially arrived in Fallout 76, and Appalachia is blooming with color, chaos, and pollen! From May 6 to May 20, players are invited to take part in a limited-time seasonal event called The Big Bloom, where nature is both beautiful and deadly. This cheerful-yet-deadly event blends whimsical flower gathering with explosive combat—and yes, bees are involved.

This guide provides everything you need to know about participating in The Big Bloom, surviving its dangers, and reaping the spring-themed rewards.

Meet Black-Eyed Susan – Your Floral Commander

At the heart of the event is Black-Eyed Susan, a sharp-witted, well-armed retiree living in Skyline Valley. She’s passionate about floral arrangements—but her peaceful meadow has been invaded by The Overgrown, grotesque plant monsters that have claimed her flower-picking grounds.

Luckily, Susan isn’t just a passive NPC—she’s got firepower and attitude, and she’ll fight by your side. But she needs your help clearing out the Overgrown and collecting rare flowers for her creations.

When and Where to Join the Event

Event Time: Every hour, on the hour
Location: Susan’s favorite meadow in Skyline Valley

Arrive promptly to join others in defending the meadow and gathering blooms. But beware: the meadow is littered with buried landmines, swarming pollinators, and a monstrous bee named Beezlebub. One wrong step or sting could ruin your day—or end your life.

What to Expect During the Event

Hazard Description
Landmines Hidden in the field. Step carefully or bring Perception-enhancing gear.
The Overgrown Hostile plant creatures that attack in waves. Bring crowd-control weapons.
Beezlebub Giant, aggressive bee boss. Aim for the wings and stay mobile.

To complete the event, help Susan gather flowers while keeping enemies at bay. Your teamwork and survival skills will be put to the test.
