The Scorched are the result of the Scorched Plague that swept Appalachia before the events of Fallout 76. These are mutated humans with green ultracite crystals protruding from their skins.
While the Scorched are a common enemy in Fallout 76, you usually need to hunt them in large quantities for certain quests and seasonal challenges. Here we’ve collated their spawn locations so you don’t have to wander around Appalachia and instead, can fast travel straight around the map to tick off your Scorch hunting goals.
