Fallout 76 Caps – FO76 Bottle Cap Market

Why Buyers Buy Fallout 76 Caps

Struggling to get your hands on some caps? Maybe the competition’s fierce, or you're just having some bad luck. Whatever the reason, caps are essential for any Vault Dweller.

Farming caps can be a grind. You’ll need to hunt for things to sell or find hidden stashes across the Wasteland, and let’s face it, if you’ve got a busy schedule, that’s not always possible. You just want to enjoy the game, not spend hours grinding for in-game cash.

The quickest way to grab some Fallout 76 Caps is by buying them directly from other players. All you need is a trusted seller, and you'll be set—though keep in mind, this option does come with a real-world price tag.

Just remember that trading between players does carry some risk, even if the marketplace is as secure as it can be. It's a good idea to check with the game’s publisher or review their policies for any info on what’s safe and what’s not. And if you’re ever unsure, it never hurts to reach out to legal experts for some peace of mind.

Good luck in 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 at 40,000. 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!
