Even in the expansive wasteland of Fallout 76, players can whip up tasty recipes like pumpkin pie or soup to satiate their hunger. But to concoct these scrumptious treats, you'll need the right ingredients, including the essential pumpkins scattered across the map.
If you're eyeing some pumpkin-based culinary delights at a cooking station, we've got you covered with the best locations to scavenge for this popular fruit. Here are the areas worth checking out to ensure you amass a decent pumpkin stash:
Discovering Pumpkin Patches in Fallout 76
While pumpkins can be found in numerous spots in Fallout 76, there are select areas where you're guaranteed a bountiful harvest all at once. To aid your quest, here are the top four locations to procure pumpkins:
Pumpkin House
Located in the northeastern region of the map near Highland Marsh and Vault 94, the Pumpkin House is a prime spot. While the pumpkins outside are for decoration, you'll find some growing in small patches around the house.
Aaronholt Homestead
In the northwestern part of the map, near Tyler County Fairgrounds and east of WV Lumber Co, lies Aaronholt Homestead. Head southeast from a small red tractor to discover a patch of pumpkins to the east.
Morgantown High School
Visit Morgantown High School, situated centrally to the north, west of Rose Room and north of Bolton Greens. The school is a Halloween haven with plenty of pumpkins scattered around, both fake and real.
Hornwright Estate
Along Route 93, directly south of Hornwright Estate at the map's southern tip, you'll encounter two unmarked houses surrounded by pumpkins. Keep an eye out for scavengers in this area.
Utilizing Pumpkins in Fallout 76
Once you've secured a good pumpkin haul in Fallout 76, there are several ways to incorporate them into your cooking:
- Pumpkin Pie
- Pumpkin Rack
- Pumpkin Soup
- Jack O'Lantern
The Pumpkin Rack and Jack O'Lantern can be used as decorative items for your Camp and can be crafted at workshops scattered across the map. For pumpkin soup and pie, head to a cooking station where you can whip up these dishes easily. Both recipes offer significant HP restoration, requiring basic ingredients like water, eggs, and sugar, along with some wood for cooking.
