How to start the Mischief Night event

Similar to most events in Fallout 76, you don’t have to manually start the Mischief Night event in the game. It auto-spawns every hour.

Once the event appears, you must head to its location and light the Mischief Pyre to start it.

So keep playing the game for at least an hour, and you will be able to take on the event.

Mischief Night event location
