Tracking a Floater in Appalachia? The Archive logs 3 spawn locations for it across Cranberry Bog and Savage Divide. Server population and active events shift the odds, but these are the spots the field notes keep returning to.
South of Spruce Knob Campground, east of Vault 96. Six around the lake and the small campground in mixed Gnasher, Freezer, and Flamer variants. Watch for antennas poking out of the dirt — that is a buried Floater waiting to ambush.
The crater rim hosts a reliable cluster, often alongside the Super Mutants who keep Floaters as pets. Open ground makes them easy to spot once they surface.
Directly east of Whitespring Resort — a free fast-travel hop away. Five around the water. Server-hop here for fast daily clears.
