If you’ve been wandering the wasteland lately, you might’ve noticed that Caps aren’t flowing quite like they used to. Whether it’s due to the shifting economy of Season 17 or the surge in player-run events, getting and staying rich in Fallout 76 takes more strategy than ever. But fear not—some tried-and-true farming methods still hold strong in 2025. Here are 11 farming techniques that continue to deliver solid results, even in the current meta. 1. Vendor Flipping Still Pays OffBuy low, sell high—simple, right? Many players overlook low-value rare items at player vendors, especially on less-populated servers. If you’re patient and know market trends, flipping rare plans, mods, and unique apparel still works. It's especially useful if you frequent multiple camps. 2. Public Events with High Sell-Back ValueEvents like Radiation Rumble and Eviction Notice remain high-reward. The legendary cores, scripts, and materials you get can be converted into saleable items or used in crafting gear for resale. These events continue to be a prime source of indirect Caps. 3. Treasury Notes into Gold Bullion → Into CapsEven in 2025, exchanging Treasury Notes into Gold Bullion and buying rare plans (like Secret Service Armor Mods) is an underrated method. Once acquired, these plans or crafted items can be sold to other players at a high markup. 4. Cultist and Super Mutant Route FarmingSuper Mutant camps and Cultist locations are still among the fastest ways to collect junk, weapons, and apparel in bulk. With a Charisma-specced barter build, you can sell these for significantly more than base value. 5. Server Hopping for High-Value RespawnsServer hopping isn’t dead. Locations like Whitespring Resort, West Tek, and the Vault-Tec Agricultural Research Center still have consistent loot spawns. Hopping allows for repeated farming of military-grade gear and pre-war food—items that are always in demand. 6. Daily Ops for Ammo and Crafting GoodsDaily Ops still reward a wide range of useful consumables. Bulk ammo, stimpaks, and flux can be converted or traded. Combine this with smart use of crafting perks to create items players are willing to pay for. 7. Bulk Crafting High-Demand GoodsSome items never go out of style—like Bulk Aluminum, Bulk Adhesive, and Healing Salves. Craft in large quantities and sell directly to players or vendors. The passive Caps stack up faster than you’d expect. 8. Legendary Exchange for Script → Sellable GearGrind events or enemies for legendary drops, exchange them for Scrip, then spend it at Purveyor Murmrgh. Even if you don’t land a God Roll, decent gear sells fast, especially if it complements current meta builds. 9. Caps Runs at Vendor BotsDoing a vendor run across the map—especially at Whitespring, Foundation, and Crater—lets you offload junk, weapons, and crafted food. You can easily hit the daily Caps limit this way with efficient inventory management. 10. Meat Week and Fasnacht FarmingWhen seasonal events like Meat Week or Fasnacht return, they flood the game with rare recipes, masks, and food. Hold onto these items and sell them during the offseason when demand spikes. It’s one of the best long-term Cap investments. 11. Workshop Tax CollectionClaiming and defending workshops like Sunshine Meadows or Poseidon Energy Plant allows you to collect resource income and generate surplus items. When automated properly, you can convert those resources into goods to sell for Caps daily. Even with all the balance changes and seasonal shifts, Caps farming in Fallout 76 is still very much alive—you just have to adapt your methods. Whether you’re flipping plans, farming Super Mutants, or preparing for the next Fasnacht, there’s always a way to make more Caps if you play smart.The wasteland rewards those who hustle. Stay sharp out there.
