There are hundreds of Audio Holotapes in Fallout 76 scattered around the map in houses, forts, and even in corpses, which makes it difficult to locate them all.
Some series of holotypes are so interesting we encourage you to go looking for them just to hear a good story. There are tragic ones, like the Enola series, and some have a terrifying sound design as the last recording of the person carrying the holotape, and there’s even a full narrative production with the West Virginia Hills series.
Flatwoods
