Quick Links
Mole Minersare a unique type of mutant roaming the wastes ofFallout 76. These residents of underground Appalachia are similar to ghouls in that while they maintain intelligence, they attack sight (save forFallout 76’s Purveyor). There are a lot of mole miner variants out there, includingthe limited-time Treasure Hunter Mole Miner.
It’s easy to find a Mole Miner at some point in your adventures, but if you want to tear through mole miner populations and collect their loot, a few locations are best to find them. If “Hunt For The Treasure Hunter"is an active community event, some locations become more important than ever.

The locations of typical Mole Miners differ from the locations ofTreasure Hunters. Treasure Hunters are event-specific Mole Miner variants appearing during “Hunt For The Treasure Hunter,” which occurs multiple times a year. If you’re trying to hunt down Treasure Hunters during this event, some of the best places to find these legendary Mole Miners includeWhitespring Golf Club, Lewisburg, and Welch.

Most regular Mole Miners love to spawn withinthe Ash Heap and the Savage Divide. They travel in groups and love underground areas. Lucky for you, they are much easier to find thanMothman inFallout 76.
If you’re trying to kill a bunch of Mole Miners for a weekly timed challenge, multiple spots throughout the map spawn a dozen or so mole miners at any given time.

Ash Heap
The Seismic Activity event is one of the best, albeit dangerous, ways to kill a bunch of Mole Miners at once. This event triggers when youlaunch a nuke at Abandoned Mine Shaft 2and fight the Ultracite Titan. This boss spawns multiple Mole Miners in its defense, giving you many opportunities to kill these underground dwellers.
All Mole Miner Loot
Treasure Hunter Rewards
There are a lot of Mole Miner variants inFallout 76, offering slightly different challenges than one another. However, each Mole Miner (except the Treasure Hunter) is largely the same as the last. They allshare a universal loot pool, with specific variants offering extra items upon death.
Mole Miner farming may be a fun way to collect extra ammo if you love shotguns. From my experience, shotguns aren’t a great weapon in anyFalloutgame, so I wouldfocus on hunting Supervisors, Sappers, Dredgers, Skullcrushers, and Deadly Mole Miners. These variants drop missiles and missile launchers, which are much more effective than shotguns. Ensure you have enoughcarry weight inFallout 76to hold all your new weapons.
The Treasure Hunter’s loot drops are the more valuable loot of this enemy class. Treasure Hunters dropmole miner pailsupon defeat, which contain anything from caps to specialized gear and legendary scrap.
You may have to use a different farming technique to hunt these enemies down, but they and their Mole Miner brethren offer plenty of resources for your adventure inFallout 76.
