The post-apocalyptic world ofFallout 76is filled with all kinds of mutated critters, some more horrifying than others. But often, hunting them down is a necessity and can result in some useful items. Radtoads, the giant post-nuclear version of a frog, is one of the less appealing mutants, with multiple eyes and exploding eggs. So just where can you find these delightful creatures, and what are they good for?
One of the first reasons you may seek out these giant amphibians is to complete the daily quest called “Deal a Critical Hit to a Radtoad.” It’s a simple enough ask, and the quest actually teaches you the best way to down these mutants without having to deal with their troublesome attacks: from a distance with a crit hit. But before that, you must find one, and Radtoads inFallout 76spawn in a few specific areas in Appalachia.
Increased Carry Weight
While slaughtering Radtoads, you’ll likely pick up eggs and legs, both of which can be used in cooking. The eggs make a Radtoad omelette that provides some health regen and a slight endurance boost. The real gems are the legs, though, which can give a nice increase to your Carry Weight.
Cooking legs with Wood will result in Grilled Radtoad and +10 Carry Weight for 30 minutes. But chowing down on Fried Radtoad Legs will get you +20 Carry Weight, doubled if you have the Carnivore mutation, along with +60 HP and 20% Food.
Taming a Radtoad
If you have the Animal Friend perk equipped, Radtoads inFallout 76can also be tamedand sent to defend your C.A.M.P. There are nearly a dozen variants of the critters, and they can all be tamed. So after you’ve taken one out for the daily quest and chopped up a few more for stat boosts, it might be worth taking a tour to see the different varieties and make one your pet.
