7Naked Creek
Naked Creek was once home to the Blue Ridge Caravan Company, but this Skyline Valley location lives up to its name as a relatively unremarkable dried creek. However, it’s an excellent place to set up camp if you want tofarm the new Thrasher enemiesthat spawn in the creek.
While you won’t find any survivors, there are some remnants of the Blue Ridge Caravan Company scattered around the area. You can find a set of notes on the bodies that tell the story of what happened to the guards here and how they ended up like that.
6Hawksbill Weather Station
The Hawksbill Weather Station is one of the largest new locations in the Skyline Valley update, featuring a massive facade that barely fits in your view. Aside from its significance as a quest location, the Hawksbill Weather Station hosts a respawning set of robots to fight and loot outside.
You’ll return here multiple times during the Skyline Valley story tocomplete the Seeking ShelterandBetween The Lines quests.
This building, also known as Vault 63’s Meteorology Sector, houses a set of three robots known as theStorm Goliaths.They’re completely optional, so you must seek them out if you want to encounter these gigantic machines.
5Shenandoah Visitor Center
The Shenandoah Visitor Center and the accompanying sign for the Shenandoah National Park are some of the first things you’ll see when you arrive in the Skyline Valley duringthe Into Lands Unknown quest. You’ll also return here during Seeking Shelter to speak with Kevin Harris, the lone caretaker.
The area is infested with Radrats, Radroaches, and even a small room full of Mothman Cultists. Aside from the enemies, you’ll enjoysome of the best views of the Skyline Valleyfrom the edge of the parking lot. This area sets the tone for everything to come in this update.
4Makeout Point
Aside from its scandalous name, Makeout Point appears to be a relatively unassuming area of Skyline Valley – which it is for the most part. However, it plays an essential part in your introduction to the area and functions asthe spot where you find Miles' body during the Into Lands Unknown quest.
Aside from serving as a quest location, Makeout Point is another excellent spot to take in the views of the ravaged Appalachian landscape.
When you return, you’ll often find a set of Mongrels sitting and watching the sky.
It’s an eerie little scene if you approach without alerting them.
3Slumber Mill Motel
The Slumber Mill Motel is a non-essential location that delivers some unexpected areas to explore. Once you clear outthe group of Lost, Mirelurks, and robots, you’re able to peacefully loot the Motel for resources.
The basement ishome to a piece of cut content from the Skyline Valley update:an elevator that goes nowhere. Aside from the easter egg, you’ll find notes that paint a clearer picture of the Slumber Mill and the people who frequented it, giving it even more appeal outside of what might have been.
2Camp Liberty
Camp Liberty is another location you need to find on your own, but luckily it’s justa short walk away from the Slumber Mill Motel,making them an excellent set of locations to discover in tandem. Ironically, this camp is overrun by Communist soldiers, who have made this former Pioneer Scouts location their home.
Communists are a rare enemy type, so this camp offers one of the few chances to fight them. Once you’ve cleared the area, you’ll find several propaganda fliers and notes detailing people’s experiences at the camp and explaining how things ended.
1Dark Hollow Manor
Dark Hollow Manor is the best location in Fallout 76’s Skyline Valley, due to its necessity as a quest location for much of the story and its grandiose facade. Inside, Vault 63 is teeming withGhoul residents who you can speak to and assistduring theHousekeeping For Hire quest.
Vaults are always fun locations to explore, especially when the inhabitants are as unusual as Margaret, Laurence, and Julio. From the dysfunctional Stolz family to their security chief, James Oberlin, you’ll meet some of the most interesting Fallout 76 characters in Dark Hollow Manor.
