As a veteran vault dweller in Fallout 76, I’ve spent more than my fair share of hours fending off super mutants, Scorched, and scorch-blood-mutated rad-animals. The seasonal event known as Invaders From Beyond always stands out because of its alien invasion aesthetic and unique rewards. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the key take-aways from this year’s Fallout 76 Invaders From Beyond 2025 Rewards List, share some tips for completion, and highlight what I found really worth chasing.

Event Overview

The Invaders From Beyond event runs for a limited time, and in 2025 the dates were May 20 to June 3. During the event, alien ships hover over Appalachia, deploy siphons, and you—as a vault dweller—need to intercept, repel the invaders, destroy devices, and defeat the final boss (commonly known as General Zeta) to earn event rewards.
What makes this event fun is the alien-theme, the contrast with typical Wasteland foes, and the chance to grab some unique plans and décor items that you won’t see in every event.

Key Rewards – Fallout 76 Invaders From Beyond 2025 Rewards List

Here are the highlights from the reward pool this year, from guaranteed drops to rare plans, with my commentary on what I think is standout value.

Guaranteed/Standard Rewards

Every time you complete the event you’ll get a set of base rewards:

  • 500 XP.

  • A 1-Star Legendary Item. 

  • 2 Treasury Notes. 

  • 3 Legendary Modules (or “Legendary Cores”, as some sources list) 

  • A plan: Alien Souvenir Beer Stein (if you have not yet learned it) 

These are solid baseline rewards—nothing ground-breaking, but reliable every run.

Uncommon & Random Loot

Beyond the guaranteed, you’ll get randomized loot such as stimpaks, RadAway, purified water, grenades and mines.  So while you’re chasing the big ticket items, every run still nets practical consumables and plans.

Rare Plans & Items

This is where things get interesting: the rare rewards list includes alien-themed plans and décor items that carry both Collector value and camp-build aesthetic value. Some examples:

  • Plan: Alien Blaster (and its various receivers: disintegrator-type, cryo receiver, poison receiver) 

  • Plan: Alien Stash Box, Alien Tube, Asteroid, Human Tube 1 & 2, Alien Corpse Operating Bed. 

  • In some drops: “Fasnacht Masks” (glowing alien-theme masks) during certain windows in 2025. 

My take: If you enjoy base-building and collecting aesthetic items, the plan drops are the best reason to repeatedly run the event. The Alien Blaster plan especially is a standout if you can roll it for your build.

Tips & Strategy

Here are some recommended strategies to maximise your haul from the event.

1. Bring high-mobility & AoE weapons

Because the event spawns alien drones, cryogenic and toxic aliens, and the boss has special mechanics (General Zeta recovers health once under 50%) you want weapons and mods that handle groups and elemental effects.  My preferred load-out: a plasma weapon (for alien tech), a cryo weapon (for the freezing aliens), and a high-damage rifle for the boss phase.

2. Multiplayer helps

While you can do the event solo, teaming up speeds things up and increases your chance at the rare drops (because you can increase clear speed and run more loops). My advice: coordinate a few friends, assign roles (one handles drones, one handles siphon defence, one focuses boss).

3. Know the spawn-locations

The aliens don’t always show at the same spot—there are a handful of possible invasion sites (for example: Charleston Capitol Building, Wavy Willard’s Water Park, Monongah).  Having a fast-travel location near one of them helps reduce downtime.

4. Prioritise learning rare plans

My veteran-tip: If you land a plan you haven’t yet learned (e.g., the Alien Blaster receivers), craft it immediately and stash it in your Workshop or inventory. Once you’ve learned a plan, its drop-rate may no longer count toward your “first time” big haul. In other words: collect the unique items first, then reuse the event for consumables and modules.

5. Camp-building value

If you like to build themed camps, this event is worthwhile: the décor items (alien tubes, etc) provide unique aesthetic value. Even if you’re not chasing the best weapon, the event supports alternative playstyles.

Final Thoughts

The Fallout 76 Invaders From Beyond 2025 Rewards List offers a balanced mix of practical rewards (XP, modules, consumables) and exciting rare loot (alien-themed plans, décor). If you’re a completionist or enjoy camp-building, the rare plan drops make the event worth the time. For casual players, utilising a few runs to grab the guaranteed rewards and maybe one rare plan may be sufficient.

From my experience, the key is repetition and speed: run it a few times, clear efficiently, and you’ll start nudging those rare drops. Keep a lookout for when the event returns (it does have multiple windows) and prepare your load-out accordingly.
