How to Find Trogs in Fallout 76

Trogs, the mutated and deformed humans in Fallout 76, are formidable foes that players must face during their adventures in the game. These creatures, once ordinary humans, have been transformed by the Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion (TDC), rendering them hairless, crawling on all fours, and degrading their minds into a feral state. This guide covers all you need to know about Trogs, including how to find and kill them.

Where to Find a Trog in Fallout 76

Trogs can only be encountered while participating in Expeditions, a feature that allows you to venture beyond the borders of Appalachia. The primary location for finding Trogs is during the "From Ashes to Fire" Expedition, where they can be found throughout the Trench and the Sanctum.

Another Expedition where you can encounter Trogs is "Union Dues." However, these creatures only appear during the final stage of the mission, after sabotaging the Foundry and being instructed by Hex to return to the Penn. You will need to fend off waves of Trogs to successfully complete the Expedition.

All Trog Variants

Trogs come in various forms, each with its own unique abilities and strengths. Understanding these variants is crucial for developing effective strategies against them.

• Trog: The most common variant, weak on their own but deadly in groups. They can spit toxic bile as a ranged attack.
• Trog Devourer: Hardened and adapted to the harsh environment of the Pitt, these Trogs can emit a disorienting howl.
• Trog Fledgling: The youngest and smallest of the Trogs, marked with a green paint-like substance. While easy to kill individually, groups of them can be devastating due to their ability to produce toxic sludge.
• Trog Striker: A special variant that takes the place of the Devourer during "Union Dues" if players manage to find all four strikers' logs within a single instance of the Expedition.
• Trog Superior: Similar to the Devourer but weaker, these Trogs have adapted to the harsh environment of the Pitt and are more commonly encountered, making them a significant threat.
• Glowing Trog: Highly irradiated Trogs that have developed bioluminescence due to the intense Radstorms of the Pitt. They are only seen during the final phase of "From Ashes to Fire" in the Radstorms at the Trench.

How to Kill Trogs

To defeat Trogs effectively, you should consider using radiation weapons or flamethrowers, as these seem to be the most efficient against their defenses. Regular ballistic weapons may take longer to inflict significant damage. Additionally, keeping one's health up is crucial, as the Trogs' acidic bile can rapidly deplete it.

It's also essential to be prepared for their swarming tactics, as they often attack in groups with a mix of stronger variants and fledglings, aiming to overpower their targets through sheer numbers.

By understanding how to find and kill Trogs, you can better prepare yourself for the challenges these deadly mutants present in Fallout 76.
