How to get a Perfect Mothman Egg in Fallout 76

You’ve probably seen Mothman Eggs around the areas where the cultists like to roam in Fallout 76. These eggs are black in color with a red center that glows to let you know where it’s at. These little morsels can be consumed raw with a high chance of disease, or cooked to gain additional benefits. Mothman Eggs can be found in two ways; normal or perfect. Perfect Mothman Eggs are hard to come by, but they are worth getting.
