When player vendors were introduced in Fallout 76,earning Caps became much easier. That said, if players are selling the wrong things, they may find it difficult to get sales. Luckily, there are a few things that players can sell that really bring in the customers.
Fallout 76: How to Farm Caps
Here’s how to farm and get extra Caps in Fallout 76 with easy and profitable methods.
The first important thing to note about player vendors is that players should have them either at the front of their base or in a very visible place. Having a player vendor tucked away in a corner somewhere is a good way to lose sales. However, by filling vendors with the right items and displaying them in a very visible area, it is very easy to make lots of Caps in Fallout 76.
10 Treasure Maps
Popular With Fallout 1st Subscribers
Those who subscribe to Fallout 1st get unlimited junk storage. Because of this, these players like to stock up on junk items whenever possible. Treasure maps are a great way for players to get extra junk, and they are also good for low-level players to get and learn new plans.
Treasure maps sell well when sold for between 50 and 100 Caps. However, like with most items in the game, the prices can fluctuate. If a player has lots of maps to sell, then it is a good draw for high-level players. Lots of players scroll through player vendors on the server. Any vendor with lots of stuff for sale usually draws in lots of people.
9 XP Buffs
Players Are Willing To Pay To Level Up Faster
There are some items in Fallout 76 that help players gain extra XP. These items will always sell well. Players are also usually willing to pay a fair amount for them, as it helps them to level up faster, so it's possible to make a decent amount of Caps just by selling XP buffs.
The best XP buffs to sell in a player vendor can be seen below, along with a Cap value estimate.
Buff | Cap Value |
Leader Bobblehead | 500 - 550 |
Berry Mentats | 50 - 100 |
Canned Meat Stew | 250 - 300 |
Live & Love #8 | Roughly 300 |
While there are other XP buffs in Fallout 76, the ones listed above don't expire, making them great to sell in player vendors.
8 Bobbleheads And Magazines
Additional Buffs That Sell
Every magazine and Bobblehead in the game gives players a temporary boost. As seen in the previous entry, there are a couple that boost the amount of XP gained. There are lots of other magazines and Bobbleheads that offer other boosts, such as an increase in damage when using certain weapons.

Bobbleheads provide a boost to a players SPECIAL stats in Fallout 76, and these Bobbleheads are the best ones to look for.
Magazines vary in value. Prices can range from 50 Caps to 250 Caps per Bobblehead or magazine (excluding the XP boost ones mentioned in the previous entry). When determining prices, players can check out other CAMPS to get a rough idea of what to price their magazines and Bobbleheads at.
7 Apparel
Selling Certain Apparel Can Be Profitable
It is important to note that the apparel most people are looking for when visiting a player's CAMP is far too valuable to be sold for Caps. Things like the Tattered Field Jacket, Forest Camo Jumpsuit, and Red Asylum Uniform are worth way more than the 40,000 Cap max that player vendors are limited to.

From the BOS Jumpsuit to the Leather Coat, these are the rarest apparel items in Fallout 76.
However, there are a few outfits that can be sold for a fair amount of Caps in a player vendor. They include the following:
- Pink Asylum Uniform
- Longshoreman Outfit
- Emmett Mountain Hazmat Suit
6 Ammo
Some Ammo Types Sell Very Well
Not all ammo is valuable in the world of Fallout 76. However, there are a few popular types of ammo that most players use. Players with a Fallout 1st subscription will always be on the hunt for more ammo to add to their ammo storage box, while those without a subscription will need to purchase ammo frequently to keep their weapons loaded.
Either way, ammo sells very well with almost every type of player in the game. As for ammo pricing, for regular ammo types (Non-Ultracite), players should almost always charge 1 Cap per piece of ammo. The best ammo types to sell are as follows:
- .45
- Fusion Cells
- Fuel
- 5.56
- .50
5 Junk
Junk Always Sells Well
Junk is needed for crafting and repairing. It will come as no surprise, then, to learn that selling junk is a good way to net some extra Caps.
If a player has some extra junk that they'd like to get rid of, then it will usually sell very quickly. Pricing junk can be tricky. While things like steel scrap and wood scraps should be priced at 1 Cap each, items like adhesive are worth between 4 and 6 Caps each. But, by doing a little research, players can find out the value of most junk items very easily.
4 Mods
Some Mods Are Highly Sought-After
There are some mods in Fallout 76 that players search high and low for. While the most expensive mods, like the Enclave Reflex Sight, are way too valuable to put in a player vending machine, there are a couple of mods that sell in player vendors for a decent price. These are the lower-value Enclave weapon mods.
The prices for these usually fluctuate pretty regularly, but one of the better ones to sell is the Enclave Aligned Flamer Barrel mod which sells for between 30,000 and 35,000 Caps.
3 Plans
They Sell Fast, But Ignore The Suggested Value
Plans are a great way to make Caps. Players often travel to other people's CAMPs if they hear that they have lots of plans for sale. However, there is one important thing to note about selling plans: the game states a value for each plan. Ignore it. The values suggested by the game are almost never correct.
Instead, head to somewhere like Fed76 to find a better guide on how much plans are actually worth. If the player wants to make Caps faster, then selling common plans for between 5 and 10 Caps is a good way to sell through excess plans fast. Just be careful not to list any rare plans at this price.
2 Armor
Players Love Legendaries
Selling three-star legendary armor in a player vendor is an easy moneymaker. While selling non-legendary armor won't drum up much interest, players love to shop around for legendary items. The more legendary items a player sees on a player's CAMP icon, the more likely they are to stop by and take a look.
The best type of armor to sell in a player vendor is Scrip armor. Scrip is the term given for weapons with little Cap value. They are usually turned in by players at Scrip machines. When selling armor, for a quick sale, players can sell three-star armor pieces for between 250 and 350 Caps each. As for power armor, it can be sold for between 600 and 750 Caps.
1 Weapons
The Best Way To Draw Players In
When searching for CAMPs to visit, one thing most players look at is the amount of legendary weapons being sold. If a CAMP has lots of legendary weapons, then it tends to draw in lots of players. More visitors means the potential for sales, which means more Caps. That said, pricing can be a bit tricky.
Three-star legendary weapons are the most popular items that players look for. There are two types of legendary weapons players should sell in their vendors: Scrip and low tier good weapons. Using websites like Fed 76 is a great way to get a rough estimate of a legendary item's value.
As for Scrip, prices vary depending on whether there is a Double Scrip event going on. However, typically, Scrip three-star weapons usually sell for between 400 and 550 Caps. If the player has at least ten legendary weapons in their vendors, then they will notice an increase in customer traffic.
