As more players flock to Fallout 76, newer ones are finally experiencing what veteran players encountered for years: the annoying buried treasure glitch. It happens during the Buried Treasure main questline. You know you’re a victim of it if you cannot progress in the mission. Don’t pull your hair out just yet. We’ve got a few ways you can try to fix the Buried Treasure Glitch in Fallout 76.
How To Fix the Buried Treasure Glitch
[Updated on April 30, 2024 – refined/added more tips on how to fix the glitch]
You can fix the Buried Treasure Glitch in Fallout 76 by fast-traveling outside and returning to the cave where the NPC got stuck. This will often reset the bug and allow you to progress in the quest.
- Once you get stuck with your NPC, fast-travel outside the cave.
- Return to the entrance and enter the cave where the NPC got stuck. If the glitch has reset, you can progress in the quest as usual.
Once you fast-travel outside, the game reloads the NPC and fixes the Buried Treasure Glitch in Fallout 76. Do not reload the game since it will result in you starting the quest from the beginning.
Additional Fixes For the Glitch
If fast-traveling doesn’t work, you can try other methods before purging yourself from the server. For example:
- Don’t skip dialogue
- Kill enemies as fast as possible
- Don’t sprint around
Buried Treasure is well-known as a buggy quest in Fallout 76, so a good way to solve a glitch is to try not to run into it in the first place. Following those steps may keep you from running into that dreaded bug. If all else fails, you’ll have to quit the server completely. But we hope the other methods win out for you so you don’t have to go through anything else.
