How to Complete The Slasher: Masked Truth Quest in Fallout 76

Masked Truth is the main quest of The Slasher seasonal event in Fallout 76. Once the quest begins, you search Appalachia for masked corpses and collect the masks from them. After gathering ten masks, you receive A page torn from a children's book; follow the directions on the torn page to a house near the Charleston Fire Department, find the note the quest asks for in the kennel, and the quest completes. Appalachia holds roughly 108 masked corpse spawn points, but the quest asks for only ten masks; the rest go toward the seasonal challenges. Two things to keep in mind while collecting: masks never enter your inventory but count directly toward quest progress, and each spawn point's masked corpse can be interacted with and looted only once.

The Radio Broadcast that Starts the Quest

While The Slasher is active, log in and listen for the breaking-news radio broadcast from Remington Goodwin. Hearing it starts Masked Truth. The broadcast offers the first clue and narrows the search to cabins, campgrounds, and fairgrounds. Once the quest is running, open the quest tracker to see your current objective. If no broadcast appears, check whether The Slasher seasonal event is still live. This quest is limited-time seasonal content, not a permanent part of the game.

Finding Masked Corpses

Masked corpses appear across several regions of Appalachia, mostly near cabins, camps, lookouts, and certain event sites. Interact with one and the mask is yours, but it never enters your inventory as an item. Each corpse can be looted once, and the spot will not offer another mask afterward. Switching servers does not let you collect a mask you have already taken, so completing the quest means moving on to other spawn points. As you collect, the first, third, fifth, and seventh masks each come with a clipping. The tenth mask grants A page torn from a children's book, an important lead for the next objective. Hostile Pint-Sized Phantoms sometimes appear near these corpses. Clear nearby enemies before interacting with a corpse to avoid being attacked mid-collection.

Masked Corpse Spawn Points

The confirmed spawn points below are spread across several regions of Appalachia. Since the quest needs only ten masks, there is no reason to search every spot; pick the spawn points closest to your current map position.

If your only goal is finishing Masked Truth, favor the locations that hold several spawn points. Alpine River Cabins, Bastion Park, Camden Park, Camp McClintock, Nuka World, Pioneer Scout Camp, Sunday Brothers Cabin, Tyler County Fairgrounds, and Wavy Willard's Water Park all work well as stops on a collection route.

The Investigation after the Tenth Mask

After the tenth mask, the quest hands over A page torn from a children's book. Reading it reveals the directions for the next stage. Follow the clue to an unmarked house east of the Charleston Fire Department. Behind the house sits a kennel, and inside it lies a pile of meat. Interact with the meat pile to obtain the note We're coming for you. Reading that note completes Masked Truth. The rest of the flow requires no further corpses and no turning masks in to an NPC. The tenth mask, the torn page, the kennel, and the threatening note make up the quest's final investigation.

Seasonal Challenges and Quest Rewards

Completing the Masked Truth main quest rewards the Plan: Pint-Sized Phantom Outfit. Beyond the quest itself, The Slasher also runs seasonal challenges tied to the masked corpses. Challenge progress splits into four tiers of 3, 10, 30, and 50 masks, for 93 in total. Each tier counts its own amount; finishing one tier does not carry the count into the next. The quest and the seasonal challenges therefore have different collection goals. Masked Truth advances with just ten masks, while finishing every related challenge calls for hunting down many more corpses.

The Full Flow

The main flow of Masked Truth: listen to Remington Goodwin's radio broadcast to start the investigation; search Appalachia for masked corpses and collect ten masks; read A page torn from a children's book and follow the clue to the house east of the Charleston Fire Department; take the We're coming for you note from the meat pile in the kennel and read it, and the quest completes.

Two points stand out: masks never enter your inventory, and each spawn point can be looted once. The quest needs only ten masks, while the seasonal challenges ask for far more. Because The Slasher is a limited-time seasonal event, Masked Truth is offered only while it is live.
