Fallout 76 players are exploring through the Skyline Valley update and have come across the Lightning Harvester item. The update adds plenty of new building items, and the harvester can be quite useful. However, right at face value, it can be tricky to understand the item’s purpose. Luckily, we provide the details for players on how to get their hands on a Lightning Harvester and what the use for it is in Fallout 76.

How to Find the Lightning Harvester in Fallout 76

Players can find the plans Lightning Harvester by completing the Skyline Valley in-game event called Dangerous Pastimes. The event is found over at Thunder Mountain Substation TM-03. So players need to hang out around this area and wait for the event to start; once it does, they must complete it. The event randomly gives out rewards. Therefore, players only have a chance to get the building item as a reward. Additionally, this means that if you wish to get the Lightning Harvester, you must repeat the event over and over again until you get it. Unfortunately, there is no other means within Fallout 76 to earn it from the game itself except the event. This will not change either, as it is an incentive for players to participate in the event if they haven’t received one.

Once players receive the Plan: Lightning Harvester, they will be able to craft the item whenever they wish for their C.A.M.P. Players can see what they look like before crafting. If you wish to, head to either Research Site Bavaria, Rhineland, or Saxony. At any of these locations, a Lightning Harvester has been installed. Additionally, players are able to see and repair one as it is part of the objectives to complete Dangerous Pastimes.

What Does the Lightning Harvester Do in Fallout 76?

The Lightning Harvester in Fallout 76 has no practical uses for players. It is only a decorative item that can be placed in your C.A.M.P. This is evidenced by its location in your building menu, it is under “Floor Decor.” The Lightning Harvester is both decorative and possible bragging rights. The item has a low drop rate in the event, so it is very odd that it serves no other purpose but for customization. However, it’s one of many decorations that are in Fallout 76. Therefore, players will have something new to spruce up their base camps with and show off to others.
