Where to find mole rats in Fallout 76

Mole rats in Fallout 76 are mutated versions of the Heterocephalus glaber species, which come in many varieties and are now much larger than before the nuclear war. These creatures have managed to survive by burrowing underground, where the soil acted as a shield against direct nuclear explosions.

In fallout, mole rats are commonly found in tunnels and dark, humid areas. They are a good source of meat, and you can also kill them if you are trying to complete challenges. But the most important thing is to know where they typically spawn. This guide will show you the best locations to find mole rats in Fallout 76.
