If you’ve been exploring Appalachia in Fallout 76, you might have come across the infamous “I Blame Abraxodyne” note. It’s one of those little hidden details that makes the game world feel alive, and finding it can be surprisingly tricky if you don’t know where to look. After a few hours of wandering and piecing together tips from other players, I finally tracked it down and thought I’d share a clear guide so you don’t have to stumble around blindly.

Where to Start Your Search

The note is tied to the Abraxodyne Corporation, a name you’ve probably seen on terminals or in environmental storytelling scattered across the game. To find it, you’ll want to focus on locations that have some corporate presence. In my experience, checking abandoned offices and small storage rooms inside the main building areas usually yields better results than just roaming randomly.

One tip I’ve learned from hunting rare Fallout 76 items is to check every desk drawer, filing cabinet, and locker. I know it sounds tedious, but the note can be tucked away in the most mundane-looking spots. Don’t skip those little nooks—you might pass right by it if you do.

Specific Locations to Check

Players have reported a few reliable locations where the note can spawn. While it’s not guaranteed to appear every time, these spots are your best bet:

• The Abraxodyne Research Labs: Look for the second-floor offices; one of the desks near the windows often holds it.

• Nearby warehouses: Some crates may contain miscellaneous papers, including the note.

• Abandoned corporate trailers: These smaller buildings sometimes have filing cabinets that include the note.

When you’re searching, be patient. The note can be elusive, and you might need to check a few different rooms before it appears. I ended up making a little circuit around the area and finally found it in a dusty drawer that looked like nothing special.

Tips for Efficient Searching

To make the hunt less frustrating, I recommend using a methodical approach. Map out the key buildings in the area and check each systematically. Carry some healing items and ammo just in case you run into scorched or other players who are equally eager to hunt rare items. It turns what could be a chaotic scavenger hunt into a smoother, more enjoyable experience.

Also, keep an eye on player marketplaces if you’re in a rush. Sites like U4GM have communities discussing where specific items tend to appear or pop up for sale. I personally prefer the thrill of finding things myself, but knowing others’ insights can save time if you’re stuck.

When All Else Fails

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, the note may just refuse to spawn. In those moments, it can be tempting to consider buying Fallout 76 stuff from third-party sources to get the items you want. While not everyone’s approach, it’s a reminder that the game has an active trading scene for players who want certain collectibles faster. I usually stick to in-game exploration because the discovery itself is half the fun, but it’s good to know you have options if patience runs thin.

A Little Extra Insight

One thing I really enjoy about the “I Blame Abraxodyne” note is how it fits into Fallout 76’s world-building. It’s easy to miss, but once you find it, it feels like uncovering a tiny secret story thread. Combined with other Fallout 76 items you might stumble upon, it helps make the wasteland feel more connected and immersive. Plus, seeing other players’ reactions when they finally spot it is always entertaining—everyone has that “aha” moment.

So, whether you’re hunting it for fun, for lore purposes, or as part of a quest-related collection, the note is definitely worth the effort. Keep your eyes peeled, check those hidden drawers, and remember that a methodical search beats frantic wandering every time.
