The Skyline Valley update brought in several new types of enemies to Fallout 76. Like the other regions in the game, Skyline Valley is a dangerous area with enemies lurking around every corner. The poor visibility in the area can make traversing it difficult. So, knowing where the enemies are can help to make conquering this new landscape slightly easier.

As players explore all that Skyline Valley has to offer, they will come across Thrashers at some point. These creatures are completely new to the world of Fallout. This guide will go through all there is to know about Thrashers and where they can be found.

Fallout 76's first map expansion update, Skyline Valley, offers some new enemies to take down on top of the new areas available to explore.

What Are Thrashers?

Strange Overgrown Turkeys

Thrasher in Fallout 76

Thrashers are mutated turkeys that roam around the Skyline Valley region. While they don't have a particularly hard-hitting attack, they tend to hang out in packs of 3, which makes them trickier to take down.

These fast-moving creatures are very hostile and won't hesitate to attack you on sight. They use their beaks and talons to strike anyone they see. Fortunately, they don't have a ranged attack. So, to avoid taking damage, simply hop onto any structure and shoot them from above.

Where To Find Thrashers

Fallout 76 Map Markings For Thrasher Locations

Thrashers can be found all over the Skyline Valley region. That said, there are a few places where players can reliably find these creatures:

  • Naked Creek
  • Directly West Of Naked Creek
  • Southeast Of Big Meadows Gas Well
  • Research Site Bavaria
  • North Of Grindstone Arch

Unless someone else has recently killed them, there should be 3 Thrashers at each of the locations listed above. For the most part, there is one Alpha Thrasher in every location. Once killed, Thrashers will have random loot that players can take. The loot isn't particularly noteworthy. The only thing that players are going to get pretty consistently from killing Thrashers is intestines.

Thrasher Variants

Three Types To Look Out For

There are three variants of Thashers that you can come up against: Toxic Thrashers, Alpha Thrashers, and regular Thrashers. Out of the three, Alpha Thrashers are the trickiest to take down. That said, Thrashers, as a whole, aren't too difficult to kill. A few well-placed shots or hits to the head will take a Thrasher down pretty quickly.

Unfortunately, at the time of writing this article, Thrashers aren't tamable creatures, so players won't be able to have one stationed at their CAMP. However, that may change in the future.
