Fallout 76 celebrates Meat Week this week, and we want you to make the most of it. Primal Cut events are doling out Prime Meat, and Grahm's Meat Cook is the only place to stash it. We'll answer your big questions and recap the unique rewards below.
Fallout 76 Primal Cut Events
Primal Cut events happen about every 15 minutes, and sometimes several can be happening on the same server at once. The events spawn in static locations, so here are the spots. These locations are listed in ascending enemy difficulty. The harder the challenge, the more Prime Meat you'll get.
The Forest: At Flatwoods
Toxic Valley: It's northeast of the Toxic Lake.
Ash Heap: Surrounded by the Abandoned Mines.
Savage Divide: Near Fred's Barbeque.
The Mire
Cranberry Bog: Between Bog Town and Cranberry Glade.
These should be pretty easy to find, as you will be notified and your map will be marked when the Primal Cut events are active. To start the event, play the drums on the barrel as seen in this picture. Now, just kill all four waves of Primal Creatures including the boss at the end.
The only reward you get for finishing a Primal Cut event, besides any gained XP and a few Caps, is Prime Meat. The amount of Prime Meat you get correlates to the difficulty of the encounter and the spawn you choose.
- Forest and Toxic Valley: Three Prime Meat
- Ash Heap and Savage Divide: Four Prime Meat
- Mire and Cranberry: Five Prime Meat
Grahm's Meat Cook Event
Unlike the Primal Cuts, which happen often, the Grahm's Meat Cook event only happens once per hour. With that in mind, it helps to have the Good With Salt perk to keep your Prime Meat fresh. The perk decreases spoil rates by 90 percent.
Once Grahm is active, you'll find him near Vault 76 in this marked spot.
To complete the mission, all you have to do is perform one of several tasks to fill the meter that "helps Grahm throw a successful cookout." The more people you have doing these tasks, the more likely it is you'll reach a threshold.
- Collect plants
- Pick up rotten waste in the area
- Kill creatures
- Pick up wood
- Use the giant rotisserie grill to grill meat
- Play the barrel drums
When harvesting plants, wood and critters, be sure to keep the bits in your inventory to turn them in at this post.
You should also turn in your Prime Meat at the Meat Grill to get as much as 15 Legendary Scrip through three exchanges. For turning in Prime Meat you'll also get a buff called Strong Meat Sweats.
