Can a wastelander collect Brain Fungus in peace?!
Story time.
So there I was on a quest to collect 25 brain fungus for the weekly, so I go to the good ol' bog. Everything was quiet at first I was keeping my nose down at the river bank scouting for brain fungus until I trip a sleeping Scorchbeast... Ok don't panic its only one right?! but then another spawns. I bolted to those pink trees in the bog and found myself in a shootout between raiders and super mutants while scorchbeasts rained hell from above. Mind you I used to have a bow build but went back to my little Cryo Crusader since its my fave so I couldn't just one shot everything. I decided to book it and let them fight among themselves. Did it go well? Nope The scorchbeasts followed me and spawned quite a bit of scorched and of course I walk into another fissure and spawn another beast. Finally decided to just duke it out and began quick swapping between my cryo and pyro gun to get the element damage bonuses and debuffs. Took a while and I prevailed 😄 I continued on my quest to get the brain fungus and collected all 25. Ended up in front of a peaceful dam with beavers about.
The end.
It's been a while since I felt overrun by field mobs so despite it being a mundane weekly quest it was pretty fun. Good luck on your weekly quests everyone ❤️
Edit: Thanks for all the tips on future brain fungus locations didn't realize there was so many. I always tend to stick to same spots.
