Complete Science of Love Event Guide for Fallout 76

Science of Love is the third annual Valentine’s Day event in Fallout 76 running until February 18, 2025. There are two weeks of challenges that players must complete for special rewards, and in this guide, we’ll show you all the locations and list the possible rewards for each week of the event.

How to Complete Science of Love Event in FO76

Note that all challenges can only be completed by finding and wearing the Doctor Head Mirror, which you can do by following our comprehensive guide. Once you have it, you need to complete at least 5 out of 7 challenges each week to be able to collect the unique Science of Love rewards that are listed below:

• Dopamine Wallpaper (Week 1 Reward)
• Study of Love Chalkboard (Week 2 Reward)
• Pink Heart Gobo Light (Week 1 and Week 2 Reward)

Week 1 Challenges (February 4-11, 2025)

The first week of challenges took place between February 4-11, 2025. If you were able to complete them, then you should be able to redeem your Science of Love rewards in Fallout 76. But if you haven’t had the chance to do so, don’t worry, as you can still complete the second week of challenges that’s active until February 18, 2025.

Week 2 Challenges (February 11-18, 2025)

The same rules apply to Week 2 of the event, where you need to complete 5 of the 7 challenges to unlock the rewards. Note that you must always wear the Doctor Head Mirror for all of these challenges.

Collect 3 Beakers

• Reward: 250 Score

Beakers are simple glass containers mainly used in labs for mixing fluids. There are nine possible server spawns for beakers, but the best one is located inside the monorail cars at Pylon V-13 (indicated on the map above). It’s located in the Cranberry Bog region of Appalachia, to the northeast of the Quarry, and contains four Beakers that’s more than enough to instantly complete this challenge. Here are the rest of the possible beaker locations:

• Bootlegger’s Shack (Cranberry Bog)
• City Hall (Atlantic City)
• Transmission Station 1AT-U03 (Enclave Research Facility)
• Huntersville (Savage Divide)
• West Tek Research Center (Savage Divide)

Deal 500 Energy Damage to Enemies

• Reward: 250 Score

This challenge implies that you need to deal 500 energy damage in total across enemies, not in a single hit, which makes it a lot easier to achieve. Obviously, you need to use an energy weapon, and here are some of the top choices:

Scrap Junk to Produce 5 Glass

• Reward: 3 Lunchboxes

If you were able to collect beakers for the previous challenge, you should be able to collect some more, as these can be broken into bulk glass at a Tinker’s Workbench (Aluminum (8), Gears (5), Oil (7), Screw (4), Spring (4)). If you don’t want to craft the bench, you can find one at Abby’s Bunker (as shown above). Then, dispose of the majority in your scrap box or on the bench. Note that one beaker may produce up to two pieces of glass, so be sure to collect at least 2-3 beakers to complete this challenge.

Destroy 15 Robots

• Reward: Scout’s Banner

This must be one of the hardest challenges in the Science of Love event, as there aren’t that many robot spawns on the map. However, you can still find specific spots where they like to hoard up, making it possible to complete this quest in one sitting on a private server. The best location to hunt robots is the AMS Corporate Headquarters at Cranberry Bog, which may spawn up to 30 robots at once.

But before you start this challenge, here’s a list of all enemies in Fallout 76 that can be considered robots and will be eligible for completing this quest:

• Assaultron
• Bubble Turret
• Cargobot
• Enclave Turret
• EyeBot
• Liberator
• Military Turret
• Mr. Handy
• Protectron
• Robobrain
• SentryBot
• Storm Goliath
• Tripod Turret
• Vertibot
• Workshop Turret
• Zetan Drone

Here are a few more useful locations for robot spawns with the possible spawn numbers:

Kill 5 Mutant Hounds

• Reward: 3 Perk Card Packs

These mutated dogs typically accompany Super Mutants, so when you find mutants, you’ll probably find the hounds to complete this challenge. There are several fixed locations where you can find Mutant Hounds on the map, but the best one is West Tek Research Center, which may spawn as many as a dozen hounds at a time. But there are a few other worthy places to look at:

Kill 10 Insects

• Reward: 3 Basic Repair Kits

Insects are similarly hard to find and kill. The best way to kill 10 insects in Fallout 76 would be to farm Bee Swarms, which can be activated by speaking to Sweetwater at the Giant Teapot in the Forest. He will send you to the beehive, where you can instantly immolate a dozen bees, which also count as insects.

Additionally, there are four other types of insects that are eligible for completing this Science of Love challenge in Fallout 76, including:

• Bloodbugs
• Bloatflies
• Stingwings
• Red Ants

Collect 500 Energy Ammo

• Reward: Nuka-Cola Mix Pack

If you don’t want to do the typical way of completing daily ops, expo, or raids with an energy weapon, then it would be simpler to just craft it at the Tinker’s Workbench. Then, you can simply take the crafted 500 energy ammo from your ammo box, and the challenge will be completed.
