Fallout 76 Floaters are the result of FEV experiments on flatworms by West Tek. Beloved by super mutants, they are often seen together, with floaters behaving almost like pets. These newer enemies are part of the daily or weekly challenges, and since they drop various explosives when killed, they’re valuable enough to farm.
Floaters come in three flavors: Floater Gnasher, Floater Freezer, and Floater Flamer. As the names suggest, they have elementary equivalents:
- Crunch = acid.
- Freezers = cryo.
- Flamer = fire.
Fallout 76 Floaters usually appear in groups of three, with one of each variety present.
Swimmers also burrow underground and ambush their prey. If you don’t see them at first, pay attention bright red, green, or blue spots on the floor with matching bills coming out.
