U4GM - 8 Easy Ways to Make Caps as a Low-Level Player in Fallout 76

As someone who’s spent countless hours roaming Appalachia, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to make caps when you’re just starting out in Fallout 76. Caps are the core currency in the game, and whether you're on PC, Xbox, or looking for PS4 Fallout 76 Caps limited time offer deals, every player needs a steady supply to buy ammo, fast travel, and trade with vendors. When I first dropped into the wasteland, I was always broke — until I found a few reliable ways to earn caps efficiently, even at a low level. Here are eight easy methods I personally used and recommend for any beginner.

1. Loot and Sell Pre-War Money and Junk

Right after you leave Vault 76, start looting everything — especially pre-war money, silver items, and other valuable junk. These items can be sold to vendors for a decent price. I used to hoard every cigarette carton and silver fork I came across, and they quickly added up. Don’t overlook seemingly useless junk — if it has “value” in your inventory, sell it.

2. Farm and Sell Disease Cure and Healing Salve

Crafting common survival items like Disease Cure or Healing Salve not only helps keep you alive, but also makes you caps when sold to other players or vending machines. I used to farm bloodleaf and soot flower near rivers early on — they’re abundant and easy to spot. With a simple recipe, you can turn these into consistent income.

3. Complete Daily and Event Quests

Fallout 76 regularly features dynamic events and daily quests that reward you with caps and valuable items. Even at level 5, I joined public events like “Collision Course” and “Tea Time” that were easy enough with a group. These events often give 50-100+ caps, and the loot can be sold for even more.

4. Sell Legendary Items from Public Events

Legendary enemies drop 1 to 3-star legendary gear. Even if the item isn't great for your build, you can trade it or scrap it for scrip and buy more legendaries to resell. When I started, I saved every legendary and sold the ones I didn’t need. Players are often looking for specific weapons, and you can earn solid caps through vending.

5. Set Up a Vending Machine

One of the best tips I ever got was to set up a vending machine at my CAMP. I listed my extra plans, chems, and junk at reasonable prices. Within a day, players were stopping by and buying. A steady stream of Fallout 76 caps started rolling in without me having to grind constantly. Keep your prices fair and your CAMP easy to find.

6. Loot Caps Stashes

Caps stashes are small boxes you’ll find in abandoned houses, train stations, and other buildings. Once I learned their appearance — little blue and white tins — I began spotting them everywhere. They give anywhere from 10 to 50 caps each. Combine this with a high Perception stat, and you’ll be rolling in caps just by exploring.

7. Sell Ammo You Don’t Use

Every Fallout 76 player has ammo they don’t need. As a rifle build, I didn’t use .38 or 10mm rounds, so I sold them in my vending machine. They’re always in demand. Other players are often willing to pay a good price for bulk ammo, and it doesn’t weigh much if you use the Ammo Converter from the Gold Bullion shop.

8. Take Advantage of PS4 Fallout 76 Caps Limited Time Offers

If you’re playing on PS4 and need a boost, look out for trusted sellers with a PS4 Fallout 76 Caps limited time offer. I once used a promotional deal from U4GM that gave me a huge leg-up when I needed caps fast for a new CAMP build. Make sure you're using reliable sources — I only go with services that have strong community reputations.

In the beginning, making Fallout 76 caps can feel slow, but these methods helped me get my footing. Whether you're crafting, exploring, or selling to other players, there's always a way to earn. Stick with it, experiment with different strategies, and always be on the lookout for limited time deals if you're playing on PS4. Happy hunting, Vault Dweller!
