How to unlock the Weed Killer achievement in Fallout 76 - Definitive Guide

This achievement require you to use fire energy weapons on overgrown mobs.
Overgrown mobs are found all across all 3 Atlantic City areas (including during the questline from manor ingram) , but here some global location indications :
  • Can be find at the start of the The Most Sensational Game (in the first part of the entrance area, around 10-20 overgrown, can be more with the overgrown objective at the start)
  • Can be find also at the start the Tax Evasion (more on side parts of the entrance area and upstairs (around 5 - 15) )
  • The best is for sure during The Human Condition (close to a solid 40 overgrown if alone to farm them for the achievo and if doing the whole expedition)
About fire weapons, for some security in my opinion, i ve used a standard / regular flamer. (Edit : Thanks to fabian907, as he confirm me the Holy Fire also count for the achievement.).

Hope it help you out, let me know if they any details i miss to say, thanks for reading.

Tip from Boss Complex (thanks to him to allow me this edit) : "i didn't have a good fire weapon. there are 2 Flamers in the basement of the Neapolitan Casino. i grabbed the one in the laundry room. easy enough to find."

PS : Plasma flamer never counted as weapon with fire damage properly said or the perk called "Friendly fire" would works with those weapons.
Also, the very last thing i did miss to say in case you dont know it, but if you are in the case of farming the overgrown on the same expedition, you can leave and restart a new expedition as the achievement keep the progression of the kill track independtely of where you kill the overgrown.
I got confirmation, the melees who use additional fire damage arent counting for this achievement sadly.

30/03/2024 Edit : the cremator (new season atomic flamer gun) doesn't count for the achievement for some odd reasons. I had some closer friends who have tried to do the achievement with it and didn't make it.

Holy Fire works. I entered and exited the building over at the Flooded City square to find that they respawned here and there so take that as a grain of salt with some rads.

@SergeantWesley, i dont think so as plasma flamer doesnt have a real fire effect, its more a energy gun based ammo, unless it add real fire damage per second.
@Fabian907, thanks for confirming the Holy fire, will edit my guide with that intel.

Does anyone know if we can just kill the overgrown in the beginning of the most sensational game then just restart the expedition over and over until the achievement pops or do we have to get to check point or finish the expo? Thanks

Used Holy Fire and started Most Sensational Game over and over to farm them in the entry area. There's almost 20 Overgrown there so it racks up fast

@SHADOWOP94 : it counts even if you restart and reload a new instance any expedition, its one key point i miss to said and thanks to make remember this 🙏.
@Banzai96 : to me, the number of the overgrown was a bit more volatile, like around 10 to 20 id have said at the end, depending if you add the extra overgrown target kill objective.
@ShazamFTW : id be glad if you can confirm me this, that would be the last stone to make this achievement more accessible and fun to do for the futures players.

I used Holy Fire and easily got this achievement just by doing the main questline and expedition that came with this new DLC. Probably killed over 500 of these overgrown.

I’m using maximum capacity napalmer. Hopefully it’ll unlock.

Do not use the cremator. I used it and counted every one I killed. Over 100. That's without ones I killed already. switched to a flamer and got it nearly immediately because it was my primary weapon.

Got it fairly quickly in a couple of runs The Human Condition using a Napalmer (basic Flamer with a modded tank). Definitely super effective on them even without having a build for it. Forgot to swap my loadout from my crafting stats and didn't even notice with how quickly it mowed them down.

Any tips on farming fuel or acquiring more fuel? Can it be purchased from a vendor?

To make this more fun while farming, listen to Motor Spirit and/or Flamethrower by King Gizzard while running around with a flamer and power armor.

@ClayThaGreat For fuel farming, set your camp somewhere you can place an oil extractor, and grab every used oil, fuel can, etc. that you see. Also, carry around a a Flamer, or Holy Fire, and you will get a bunch from contextual drops.

Great, should have read this.... Just did all 3 expiditions with the cremator. Hopefully it will pop right away once I do switch to a normal flamer. 😡

I also recommend finishing the Human Condition expedition first, then the Sins of the Father questline before attempting to grind for this achievement. You'll be killing a lot of these Overgrown along the way.

Invest in the Heavy Guns STRENGHT perks (12 perk points total) and that should be enough to completely melt anything in front of you with a semi decent Flamer. If you can get your hands on a Holy Fire (possible Beasts of Burden event reward) you pretty much activated God mode.

Ive had 300+ kills with the branding Iron and Cremator and neither popped the achievement. Part of me think it’s a variant of the flamer or it doesnt work
