Caps are the lifeblood of Fallout 76, whether you’re trading for rare gear, fast-traveling, or just trying to afford those steep Fallout 76 item prices. While there are plenty of ways to earn Caps, efficient farming routes can make the difference between scraping by and living like a Wasteland tycoon. Below, we’ve compiled 11 hidden loops to maximize your earnings—no need to buy Fallout 76 Caps cheap when you can farm them yourself!
1. Morgantown Airport & Trainyard Loop
This route is perfect for low-to-mid-level players. Loot all the Scorched corpses, pick up weapons, and sell them at the Morgantown train station. Don’t forget to check the airport’s cargo drops for extra goodies.
2. Charleston Capitol & Flooded Trainyard
A hotspot for vendor items, this loop includes the Responder vendor bot (near the Charleston fire station) and plenty of enemies to farm for weapons. Server hop if the vendor doesn’t spawn.
3. Whitespring Resort (Inside & Outside)
A classic farming spot. Clear out the ghouls inside for weapons and chems, then hit the nearby vendor bots. The golf club area is especially lucrative.
4. West Tek Super Mutant Farm
Super Mutants drop a ton of weapons, and West Tek is a goldmine. Clear the lab, loot everything, and sell at the nearest station. Bonus: You’ll also farm XP.
5. Watoga Vendor Run
Watoga has two vendor bots (Phoenix and Wallace) and plenty of robots to scrap for parts. If you’ve completed Mayor for a Day, the robots won’t attack, making looting easier.
6. Pleasant Valley Ski Resort & Top of the World
This area is packed with Scorched and Raiders. Loot everything, then sell at the Pleasant Valley station. The nearby raider vendors can also be useful.
7. Grafton Steel & Grafton Day Loop
Super Mutants here drop weapons and Caps. Clear the area, loot, then hit the Grafton station vendor. If Grafton Day is active, complete the event for extra rewards.
8. Blackwater Mine & Uranium Fever
Uranium Fever is a great event for farming weapons from Mole Miners. After the event, loot everything and sell at Whitespring or Lewisburg station.
9. Harper’s Ferry & Burrows Scavenge
Harper’s Ferry has a vendor and plenty of enemies. The Burrows (underground) is also packed with loot, though it’s tougher for lower-level players.
10. The Crosshair (Raider Camp Near Top of the World)
Raiders here drop decent weapons, and the nearby station makes selling easy. Server hop for respawns if needed.
11. Camden Park Daily & Vendor Run
Complete the Dross Toss and Lucky Mucker dailies for quick Caps, then sell any extra loot at the nearby vendor.
