Lucky Strike

Lucky Strike is a side quest in Fallout 76.

Lucky Strike is a repeatable side mission. The player character starts this quest by reading maps bought from a U-Mine-It! vending machine or by looking at posters.

Quick walkthrough
Fetch the right equipment (gas mask to avoid sludge lung), go to the digging site marked on the map and excavate away.

Detailed walkthrough
On your map, a small area will be highlighted for the quest. Once you have traveled there, a small lump will be present on the ground, look at it and interact with it. No special equipment is needed (such as shovel or pick axe).

Note that the lump can be difficult to spot, as it will move grass, trees etc up with it, and you have to be looking almost straight down to interact with it. Crouching helps as the hit box for the lump is closer to eye level.

Once the lump is interacted with, the quest will complete, awarding a number of metal scrap (including lead, concrete, black titanium, gold, aluminum) which can used in crafting.
