Making Bulk Rubber Fallout 76

A helpful tip for completing timed challenges in Fallout 76 is to craft Bulk Rubber on a Tinkerer's bench and then scrap it. Although crafting bulk Rubber requires ten units of raw Rubber, you can use existing Rubber that you saved before the timed challenge started. Additionally, crafting bulk Rubber will require two units of Plastic. This method will save you time, effort, and valuable Caps by preventing you from fast traveling around Appalachia to farm junk items. This is especially handy if you are not a Fallout 1st subscriber and other players have looted all sources of Rubber.
