Fallout 76 Caps: 12 Hotspots No One Talks About
If you're serious about stacking up Fallout 76 Caps, you're probably already farming the usual suspects—White Springs, Watoga vendors, and the Charleston Capitol Building. But if you're tired of fighting through the same competition or want a more relaxed grind, it's time to explore the lesser-known Caps hotspots scattered across Appalachia. These locations are overlooked by most players but can consistently reward those who know where to look.
Here are 12 underrated hotspots where you can quietly fill your pockets with Fallout 76 Caps, without fighting half the server for it.
1. The Rusty Pick's Backrooms
Everyone goes to The Rusty Pick for legendary scrip trades, but very few check behind the vendor area. There are often containers and caps stashes tucked into the back corners of the basement. Add this to your vendor route for bonus loot.
2. Middle Mountain Cabins
Located northeast of Top of the World, these cabins have a surprising amount of lootable containers and often spawn caps stashes inside the dressers and footlockers. It’s also quiet here, which makes it great for solo farming.
3. Vault-Tec Agricultural Research Center
This pre-war facility has a few terminals and desks that often contain pre-war money and loose caps. The Scorched here are low-level, so this spot is ideal for new players looking to stockpile early.
4. Johnson’s Acre
Not many visit this tiny location in the Savage Divide, but it has a good chance of spawning a Caps stash by the bed inside the cabin. Check the mailbox and surrounding containers as well.
5. Kanawha County Cemetery
This place is crawling with low-level ghouls, but the real prize is in the church building and nearby outhouse. Look inside the donation box and the desks—you’ll often walk away with some unexpected Caps.
6. Mountainside Bed & Breakfast
You might come here for a daily challenge, but stay for the loot. Caps stashes are common in the upstairs bedrooms and there are plenty of containers to search. It’s also a quiet loot run if you're trying to avoid PvP hotspots.
7. Widow’s Perch
This high-up Raider location doesn’t look like much, but inside the small shack at the top, you can sometimes find loose Caps, pre-war money, and high-value junk. Great for fast server hopping.
8. Relay Tower EL-B1-02
This place has a weirdly consistent record for dropping Caps stashes inside the building. Check all lockers and desks—especially the one near the terminal.
9. Southern Belle Motel
Another spot that people often skip during loot runs, but this motel’s guest rooms are full of searchable containers and desk drawers. Multiple rooms mean multiple chances for Caps.
10. Lakeside Cabins
Located near the Cranberry Bog’s edge, this cluster of cabins has decent junk and often spawns pre-war money. With enough server hops, you can easily walk away with a couple hundred Caps in under an hour.
11. The Kill Box
This workshop in the Savage Divide is usually passed over because of its remoteness, but there’s a chance to find some solid loot here, especially if you're already investing time in taking over workshops. Combine this with events and you'll net a good supply of Fallout 76 Caps.
12. Helvetia’s Outskirts
Most players only visit Helvetia during Fasnacht Day, but the area just outside the town has a few hidden shacks and picnic areas with lootable containers and caps stashes. The locals don't talk about it, but it’s worth the detour.
Bonus Tip: Don’t Ignore Pre-War Money
While hunting for Caps, don’t forget that pre-war money is extremely valuable when selling to vendors. Combine your runs to include items you can sell and make sure your Charisma is boosted for maximum profit.
And if you're prepping for a major build or need materials quickly, consider ways to buy Fallout 76 Items from traders or markets—this can save hours of grind time if you know what you need.
Whether you’re a lone wanderer or a team-based grinder, these overlooked locations can give you a steady stream of Fallout 76 Caps with less competition and more breathing room. Try adding a few of these spots to your route and see how fast your wallet grows.
