I think your video had the desired effect 🤣 This year's Fasnacht celebration had almost 2,000 people attending. They were expecting 200, but they got way more, and I imagine it's because of videos like yours. As someone who grew up going to Fasnacht, and someone who even recognized some of the people and musicians in your video, thank you for promoting this wonderful little town, and the event. 😀

I just put about 20 hours into editing this video over my experience at the REAL Fasnacht celebration.. That's not even counting the amount of time, & money I used to go out to Helvetia, West Virginia to get all of this footage! This video has been a long time in the making.. Since this only happens once a year, you will only see this footage of the real celebration here on my channel for now! I didn't notice anyone else out there recording the event in 2020, unless it was from their phone recording tidbits. Consider leaving a like on the video, and possibly share this with some people who you'd think would be interested in this.

There was a lot of history they could have worked with like the burning of the capitol buildings, or Marshall University, or the historic WVSU. I was kinda sad to not see something like Charleston High School included or some kind of alternative timeline for it. But I guess they did enough, idk how much they could squeeze in to a game about an entire state.

I know this is an old video, but have only recently started playing FO76. I love the little town of Helvetia in game. Just donated $5, thanks for the video. Bethesda did a really good job of recreating this pretty little town.

Ngl this whole event looks like the start of a swedish subtitle horror movie that won many indie awards at the sundance movie festival very cult-like.

GREAT JOB RIFLE! This is exactly, why Bethesda's Fallout Series is phenominal! The amount of detail and work going into research, art and geographical precision, is what makes Fallout a GREAT franchise. Washington, Boston and West Virginia have been great to explore and visit, if you cant yourself. Looking forward to next adventure!!

Thank you so much for supporting IRL Helvetia!

I am amazed how well Bethesda rebuild this little village in Fallout 76. On a side note on the sold dishes (minute 18:47): I know #3 quite well as I live in Saarland and if this recipe is quite close to what we have here I can highly recommend it, and it is really a classic for this region. I am amazed they have this on their menu. Usually you eat it inbetween a sliced roll and have a beer (Karlsberg would be the most known regional brand) as beverage. #4 is a rather modern thing but you can really get a Döner Kebab everywhere nowadays all over Germany, but this is definitely not a classic german recipe ... a well, thanks Rifle for this very interesing video, keep up your excellent work

I visit this video every year now around fasnacht event f76.i love to see small towns like this getting some❤ the world is slowly forgetting about things like this and it's sad. With the way the world is today it's nice to see there's still times when everyone can get together put aside their differences whether it be personal, political, ECT and just enjoy each other's company and have fun.this is what Americans should be doing! This is who we are! And we shouldn't forget that. Great job highlighting this town and showing love to these people and their traditions👍

I grew up in Roanoke Virginia and I’ve been to West Virginia over a dozen times and I’ve never heard of that little town but that’s really cool to know this is actually in the game.. I appreciate you sharing love the video brother god bless

What a shame, so many trash Bethesda, at every turn. I am in my fifties and AM not a gamer, however, while at home recovering, from an illness, I stumbled into Fallout 3. The art, ambience and the FEEL, of this game was impressive. Most Gamers look over how much work goes into GUN DESIGN. INTRICATE!! You learn geography, from this game. The amount of CHAOS that can go on, at any moment, is stunning. Even with the bugs, Bethesda has gone over the top, with game implementation. I thank Them, for their hard work.

This is awesome. My wife has a PhD in Germanic Studies and was impressed and amused with the recreation of the Helvetia location in Fallout 76. Btw, it's great living in a country free enough to allow a town to be named after and celebrate the culture of another region of the world-- flags and all.

I love how you don't only focus on gaming and how it supports you. But how you can use your platform to drive up support for the causes you feel need a push.

That's one of the few places in my state I haven't seen. Really hoping to make it to the fest one day. Glad you enjoyed yourself!

As many bugs as this game has. Their recreations of real buildings are so spot on!

This is so cool. I didn't realize how much attention to detail Beth put into the game - especially around something as small as modeling the general store or honey haus.

You did some incredible work with this, Rifle. It’s really a treat to compare real life Helvetia with 76’s depiction. I have to say they did a great job. Thanks for showing us all of this, and glad you enjoyed it!

4:45 - I found Rifle's mask.

I'm glad you finally got around to doing this video I've been waiting a long time for this since you first teased it

I've played Fallout 76 since it first came out and we just finished 2 weeks of the Fasnacht Event every hour of every day. It is SO fun knowing it was taken very accurately from a real town & celebration! Thank you!

I was planning to watch this video for years. Now was the time. What happiness and fun! I'm glad you were there and then spread the joy with this video!

Just like that event that happened at the RL Goodsprings. Really makes me appreciate the Fallout community being so kind and helping out people like this. I completely support this.

Bro thank you for doing this video for all of us to see it , looks like you’ve had a awesome time doing it. Peace bro

It's so cool seeing the real thing, and seeing in game masks irl.

They even nailed the post card stands. Lol It was nice that Rifle highlighted the older man helping the guy with the big mask. Great video man, nice work.

This is my favorite event in FO76. I had no idea how realistic the buildings are. What a neat little town. Great work Rifle Gaming! Thank you for raising awareness. I will absolutely donate to the town that has brought me so much virtual fun...and hope to make a road trip in 2022! Update: made the road trip in summer 2022. It did not disappoint! Had lunch and walked the town with a couple of FO76 buddies of mine. I highly recommend making the trip!

Amazing how much attention to detail was put into the game when seeing the real life Helvetia in your video. I would help my son get around 'The Division' because the game emulated Manhattan so well that I could recognize buildings and give him 'shortcuts' around the city so he didn't need the map so much. Nice to see that in FO76 as well.

This is pretty cool. Helvetia is a very small town, it makes me wonder how Bethesda decided to include the town in the game. Good attention to detail. Also Doner Kabobs are really good

I appreciate you giving people info about my wonderful state, thank you from St. Albans, WV

I come from a town in Ohio that is fairly small itself. We have our own little festival at the start of fall in October, so this video really reminded me of that. I'm so glad rifle made this video. The quality of the video is incredible. This video made me really want to preserve this incredible tradition and I hope that it does for others as well.

Every time the event is happening in the game I remember this video, it's great to know the real event that inspired the game. I'm happy that this act by Bethesda and this video in particular helped bring more visibility to the event in real life. If I didn't live in another country I would definitely go see the event in person. Congratulations friend, you do an incredible job.

Wow this video's giving me an extreme sense of déjà vu... :P

Grew up in WV.. Love the people & how friendly everyone is .. Been to helvetia & ate at the hutte .. Delicious food. It is a small town .. Blink & u pass it by , but many small towns are that way in wv .. Thx 4 the upload & glad you enjoyed your trip

I live about a hour away from Helvetia,it's a awesome place to go visit! Thanks for doing a video on this and trying to help them out,they're great folks! There's a lot of tourist attractions not far from there too!

It's interesting that, if you look at a map of WV and compare it to the in game map, they took A LOT of liberties with the geography, yet in the case of Helvetia they painstakingly recreated the town in almost exact detail.

Very cool 😎 👍 love the death claw mask :-p I will do the Amazon smile thing forsure!

I donated really easy. Keep up the good work rifle

Its a shame this got corrupted, but hey! It's here again now. I'm oh so grateful that we all get to see such an experience for free here on KZread. I hope to see Helvitia thrive and their tradition along with it. Thanks again rifle for giving us all such a great opportunity to learn more about the world, and all the great little things that go on in it.

Its so wierd and awesome to see this in America when you are from actual Switzerland! (Btw: Fasnacht is mainly about "scaring" off the winter)

Donated. Awesome video! Thanks for shining a spotlight on this awesome event and town!

So cool how you actually went there I'm def gonna use amazon smile!

Fasnacht was the thing I was most excited for in 76. As soon as I got into Beta, I made a bee line for Helvetia and was devastated to find no masks there. I stopped playing after Beta until a few days ago, and I've been playing the Fasnacht event every chance I get. I've wanted to go to the real life Fasnacht for years; I'm just under 3 hours away (across the river from the real life Camden Park), but I'm a shut-in with severe social anxiety, so I always put it off. This video makes me feel much more prepared. Thanks for this! I also set up Amazon Smile for Kultur Haus; thank you for showing us how to do that too!

I really like this video and am very happy that you did reupload it. I am going to change my donations for Amazon Smile. The masks that the people made seem really detailed. Good job bud! 👍

Just switched my smile account to them, hopefully, it will help.

Commenting again then ^^ want to support this great video! I sent a donation to Helvetia, it wasn't a lot but I hope it helps out and gets something starting! Great video Rifle keep up the wonderful work!

Still love and adore this, Rifle! Thank you for re-uploading it!

watching this and recognizing the real places was so surreal.

It is incredible how Bethesda got it so perfect to real life. I am for sure going to donate some money to Helvetia and visit Helvitia some time in the future 😄🇩🇰

This is so cool! I think my wife and i are going to try to get out there next year or do a fallout 76 honey moon in WV

Thank you for this, absolutely fascinating to see Helvetia IRL, from the UK

Thank you for making this. I didn’t think about this being a real event! Love seeing the places I run around and jump on during this event. I will donate to this 💕

We should push for 6k likes. I'm new to FO76 and Rifle has helped me so much with farming and useful information in general. Keep up the hard work!

This is an very interesting video!!! I will definitely one day go to Helvetia. I seems to be an really cool place!! I unfortunately can't donate to them BUT I hope that this re upload o the video will catch allot of attention and in some shape or form help the people of Helvetia. 😁

Thanks for making this video! I did not know that this was an actual real world event. I am already planning on attending next year!

Thanks for reposting! When I tried to watch original on ROKU TV, I was sad that it wasn't available. Really enjoyed watching the re-upload. Wife and I planning on going to Fasnacht now as we are moving to Ohio soon.

I’m close enough and think I’ll be there next year....really cool.

Nice work, love seeing the real place that I play daily. Crazy how art imitates life.

Had one back in a small Texas town I grew up in as well (less than 1000 people). It was a celebration relevant to Cynthia Ann Parker with booths, a parade, a cook off, some friendly competition, an occasional mud bog, and a dance usually on the last night to close it out. Thanks again for the content Rifle!

Great video! greetings from Switzerland it’s very interesting to see how there is a small town where Swiss culture is still celebrated, love it :)

TO HELVETIA: You guys are so cool! I wish I could go there for the Fasnacht, but considering the current times....I really can't but I will try to go there next year! If any of you guys from there see this, what kinda mask are you supposed to create? is it anything freebie make anything you want kinda thing? Or is it specific?

I'd love to go there dressed up sometime in the next year it happens. That'd be dope.

I love the detail that Uncle Todd & Co. put into this aspect of “76. And the masks that transferred from real life to in game? Awesomeness! And the fact that NEW masks can be made for future events? Love it! Thanks much for making the trip, and archiving this. I saved the direct site info for future donation purposes too 👍

I really appreciate you travelling to Helvetia, West Virginia to help give some reality to the gaming experience. There is something about the experience of seeing real life footage from a location in Fallout 76. Sad to see/read about the first video corrupting and then having to be removed. But from the number of comments and views, it looks like it is doing better the second time around when compared to the first upload.

Rifle, it's videos like this that keep me coming back to your channel. Love the content. And this is a GREAT video promoting Fasnacht. Wish I would have known about it while I was stationed there... totally would have gone. I will be donating and linking my Amazon account to it. Really, imagine what that town could do with a $10 donation from all of your followers. Just the Likes alone to the video would generate $48k. All of your subscribers... that's $7mil. Imagine what a community like this can accomplish with that much money!!! And then, we do a Fallout Pilgramage one year to Helvetia for Fasnacht... it will be like our own "Zip to Zap", only I hope they don't call in the national guard (look it up). This is awesome! Thanks for taking the time and effort for sharing.

Random thought; you should set send some of the ad revenue to Helvetia, I'm sure this video will get huge and definitely help you and the community of Helvetia.
