Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough takes you through the opening chapter of The Slasher, from the Breaking News broadcast to ten Pint-Sized Slasher masks and the final doghouse clue near Charleston. It is a short quest once you know which pickups actually matter.
The confusing part of Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough is that the Slasher seasonal challenges continue well beyond ten masks. Masked Truth itself only needs ten for the story step, so do not confuse the quest requirement with the much larger mask-collection challenge totals.

The opening of Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough matches Bethesda’s official Slasher structure: the story begins with the Breaking News station and then expands through weekly investigation layers. Bethesda confirms that the storyline is intentionally being released in parts rather than as one giant quest chain.
You can read the rollout details in the official Slasher release notes.
How to start Masked Truth
Start Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough by opening your Pip-Boy, moving to Radio and tuning into Breaking News. Let the broadcast finish, then check your quest log for The Slasher: Masked Truth.
If the station or quest does not appear, our How to Start The Slasher in Fallout 76 guide covers the basic update, Adventure mode and radio checks.
Collect 10 Pint-Sized Slasher masks
The main collection section of Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough asks for ten Pint-Sized Slasher masks. These come from masked corpses placed around Appalachia. Interact with the mask on the body rather than expecting a normal loot inventory.
As you collect the masks, the quest feeds you article clippings and eventually the children’s book page that pushes the investigation toward Charleston.
Read A Page Torn From a Children’s Book
After the mask step, Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough tells you to read A Page Torn From a Children’s Book. Open Items, then Notes, and look alphabetically under A.
If the page is missing after a crash or disconnect, do not keep collecting masks. Use our A Page Torn From a Children’s Book Missing in Fallout 76 fix guide because this is a known live quest issue.
Investigate the area described in the note
The children’s book clue in Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough points toward the Road 85 area around Charleston. Fast travel to the Charleston Fire Department and move toward the nearby residential buildings rather than searching the entire highway.
You are looking for an unmarked house close to the fire station. The key landmark is the dog kennel behind the house.
Search the dog kennel
The final investigation step in Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough is inside the dog kennel. Search the meat pile and take or read the note called We’re Coming For You.
That interaction completes the opening investigation. If you reached the correct doghouse but the meat pile will not progress the quest, make sure the children’s book page was read while Masked Truth was actively tracked.
What rewards do you get?
The live Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough reward includes the Pint-Sized Slasher themed outfit plan from the opening chapter, alongside normal quest rewards. The exact random gear reward can vary, so the cosmetic plan is the meaningful fixed reward to watch for.
For the wider seasonal reward path, including later Power Armor and the Super Slasher, use our Fallout 76 The Slasher Rewards page.
Can you still complete Masked Truth after Week 2 starts?
Yes, the Slasher content is designed to layer new activities over the previous ones rather than simply deleting the first chapter after seven days. Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough remains the opening story requirement for characters that have not finished it.
That matters now that grave digging is beginning, because later quest layers may depend on having the earlier chapter completed.
What comes after Masked Truth?
After Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough, the next story layer is Secrets to the Grave, which moves the investigation into disturbed graves and Pint-Sized Phantoms Maps.
Our Fallout 76 Secrets to the Grave Quest Walkthrough covers the new grave stage, while How to Complete Disturbed Grave in Fallout 76 handles the repeatable grave activity.
The important thing in Fallout 76 Masked Truth Quest Walkthrough is to stop at ten masks for the story, read the note, follow the Road 85 clue and search the dog kennel. Everything beyond that belongs to the wider seasonal challenge or the next Slasher layer.
