So, you’ve decided to join the ranks of the Fire Breathers, the elite firefighting unit in Fallout 76. Good for you! These folks are the first line of defense against the blazing infernos that plague Appalachia.
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it. However, before you can don that snazzy uniform you’ll need to pass the Fire Breather Exam.
The exam is a computer-based test which consists of seven multiple-choice questions. Each question tests your knowledge of firefighting and survival skills, particularly tailored to the challenges found within the game. To pass, you must answer the questions correctly, and then head to the next challenge of the exam.
Here’s a detailed guide to help you ace the Fire Breathers’ exam.
How to take the exam in Fallout 76
The knowledge exam for the Fire Breathers is located within the Charleston Fire Department. This place plays a crucial role as the operational base for the Fire Breathers. The Department is relatively easy to locate due to its central position on the map, south of the Forest region’s main city, Charleston. It’s directly accessible and often one of the first major landmarks you will encounter when moving south from the game’s starting point, Vault 76. After reaching there, start the Into the Fire quest to begin the exam.
