Fallout 76 Caps – FO76 Bottle Cap Market

Why Buyers Buy Fallout 76 Caps

Maybe they're having trouble finding something that sells. Otherwise, their competition could be too good and they can't carve out a niche on the market for themselves. Or maybe they're just really down on their luck. No matter what the reasons are, caps are important to any Vault Dweller.

Farming caps takes time and effort. You have to actively search for things to sell to other players or find stashes across the Wasteland. If you're busy with work or studies, you can't spend your time playing to earn caps. You'll just want to have fun and not worry about your in-game riches.

There's no faster way to get Fallout 76 Caps other than the player-to-player online marketplace. Buyers just have to find a trustworthy seller and make a trade. Of course, the convenience comes at a price of real world money.

Be aware that player-to-player trading carries an inherent risk, even if the marketplace tries its best to be secure. Contact the game's publisher or consult its policies and terms for an insight to possible consequences and actions you can take. You may even ask the help of legal professionals to clarify any concerns that may arise.

Good luck on your travels across the Wasteland, Vault Dweller!

What are Caps in Fallout 76?

In the post-apocalyptic retro-America, bottle caps, caps for short, became the primary currency of the land. In-game, it came about because of three reasons. One, there was a relative scarcity of it. Two, most of the bottle cap manufacturing technology was lost in the Great War. Three, there is a limited amount of it. All these reasons caused the Wasteland's economy to be built on caps.

Fallout 76: What are Caps Used For?

As a currency, it is used for barter and payment for services. In past games, (that are placed chronologically after FO76) players use caps to buy goods, have their attributes improved, hire mercenaries, bribe guards, and more. Judging from the pattern it should be the same for FO76.

There's one thing that's different about 76 though. That's the lack of NPCs in the world. When you're stuck with holotapes and robots, there are few ways to spend your caps. It makes sense, being chronologically first in the series. As far as the lore is concerned, the players are the ones who rebuilt civilization.

Is There a Cap Limit?

Yes, and it's set quite low at 25,000. With a cap trading limit of 5,000, that's a pretty bad combination for trading high-value things. It's a problem the players want to be addressed, though other more pressing matters may come first. Still, it's in the way of a true player-driven economy like Bethesda wanted, and an inconvenience as well. Time will tell how it will improve or not.

No matter how or when this gets improved, we hope you'll continue enjoying Fallout 76!
