Lucky Strike

Lucky Strike is a repeatable quest in Fallout 76.

Detailed walkthrough
To start the quest, the player needs to be in possession of either a miner's map, excavator's map, or prospector's map, all of which can be purchased from any U-Mine-It! vending machine. The next step involves accessing the Pip-Boy, browsing through the Notes section until finding the map in question, and pressing the Inspect button, after which a message box shows, prompting the player to confirm that they wish to identify the dig site.

Identifying the dig site starts the quest and results in the map being removed from the inventory. A small area in the Ash Heap gets highlighted on the world map, the location is randomly chosen from a pre-determined pool of possible locations. Once the player arrives at the location, they need to look for a medium-sized dirt mound on the ground, which can be difficult to spot, as it blends with the surrounding dark rock scenery.

To finish the quest, simply interact with the dirt mound, no special equipment (such as a shovel or pickaxe) is required for this. Note that finding the interaction prompt can be difficult sometimes, crouching usually helps. Once the lump is interacted with, the quest completes, awarding XP, caps, and metal scrap (including lead, concrete, black titanium, gold, and aluminum).
