If you’ve already started playing Fallout 76, you’ve likely encountered at least one of the game’s factions. There are several scattered throughout Appalachia, but with no human NPCs to talk to, it isn’t always obvious how to join them. In the case of the Fallout 76 Fire Breathers faction, you’ll need to correctly answer questions on a test.
The Fallout 76 Fire Breathers
The Fire Breathers are a branch of the larger Responders faction. They were formed in the wake of the bombs falling to be the group’s elite unit, taking on the most dangerous assignments in the most heavily irradiated areas. You may hear of how this faction came to be as you follow the main story while searching the airport. To actually join them, however, will require you make the trip to Charleston. There, among the ruins, look for the Charleston Fire Department. There should be a red protectron standing outside.
Head inside, and look for three terminals near the back of the station. On these terminals is an exam which you must pass in order to join the Fire Breathers. The answers to these questions can be found scattered throughout the Fire Station. However, if you want to skip searching the building, the answers are as follows. Note that the questions may not occur in this exact order.
