Caps make the wasteland go round, or so it’s been in Fallout games so far. Caps are still cash, but the things you’ll be turning out your pockets for are quite different, as are the ways you’ll earn your stash. We’ve rounded up tips on what you’ll actually be shelling out caps for and how to earn them.
Convenience is key
There are three main buckets you’ll probably be tossing caps into: fast traveling to locations, buying consumable supplies from vending machines, and purchasing blueprints for craftable gear or base furnishings.
Paying to fast travel is a staple in online games and works in Fallout 76 the way you’d expect. You can pay caps to immediately travel to any of the dozens of map locations you’ve previously visited, the most expensive being those furthest from your own current location.
Scattered around towns and outposts are vending machines for medical supplies for when you’re entirely out of stimpaks or other buffs. Plans for base building items are another pricey endeavor. The basement floor of the Greenbrier Hotel is a particularly good place to window shop, if there’s a particular plan you’re dying to get your hands on and haven’t come across it by chance in the wasteland.
Buy Fallout 76 Caps
For those who lack the time to collect bottle caps but still wish to enjoy all the game has to offer, cheap Fallout 76 bottle caps can be easily obtained from the U4GM store. As the top world-cross store, U4GM dedicated in in-game service with cheapest price, 365/24/7 online, fast and reliable delivery. For FO76 bottle caps delivery, once your transaction received, U4GM will arrange the delivery in minutes after your order information confirmed.
Bringing home the brahmin
There are a couple familiar ways to save up caps in Fallout 76 that will be familiar to wasteland veterans. Killing enemies and looting their bodies is one, though I’ve only found one or two caps on most average supermutants. Selling junk is another option that will net you just about the same.
Event coordinator wanted
Group events of varying sizes are almost always running on the map. Events can be as small as an escort quest or as large as powering up an entire reactor facility. Some can easily be completed alone, like escorting Mr. Messenger safely to his destination. Others, like Powering Up Poseidon, will require a lot more hands to finish in the time limit provided. I routinely earned around 40 caps for even small events I did alone, with larger ones scoring more like 70.
Do the main quest
The main questline in Fallout 76 provides a steady drip into your caps stash in the game. It also keeps you relatively well-stocked with supplies provided by Vault 76’s wayward Overseer, so you shouldn’t need to waste money on buying meds. Even if you just want to build a cabin in the woods (like me), party up with a friend who’s working on story quests. You’ll get a small reward for any quests completed by your party leader. It usually isn’t much, but it’s some pocket change for potentially no work at all.
Luck & Charisma Perks
Leveling up your Luck and Charisma stats can lead to higher tier perk cards that lend bonuses to Fallout 76 Caps collection. If you’re often adventuring and finding cap stashes, improving your luck can significantly increase your winnings. The Caps Collector perk increases the amount of caps you find in a stash and Fortune Finder gives a directional audio cue when you are within range of a stash. In the Charisma track, the Hard Bargain perk gets you better prices when buying and selling from merchants.
Become the lawman
Players who commit crimes against others are assigned a bounty and the longer they remain at large the greater the reward. You can find players with open bounties on the map with a red marker. You have to be a bit lucky (or unlucky) to wind up on a map with wanted players, so it may not be the most consistent way to save up.
