There’s so much to do in Fallout 76 that some players get overwhelmed. To avoid missing out on the essentials and build an effective routine, it’s best to focus on a few key activities that provide the most benefit each day.
Upgrade your SCORE Board
The Seasonal Scoreboard is a source of numerous rewards: items for your camp (CAMP), costumes, boosters, and even unique weapons. To earn them, you need to complete daily and weekly challenges, earning points and increasing your rank. Make sure to complete these tasks regularly to avoid missing out on the season’s best rewards .
Complete storylines
It’s especially important for newcomers to progress through the main and secondary storylines. They not only provide generous rewards but also introduce key locations and game mechanics. Some important merchants (such as Regs in Vault 79, who sells blueprints for gold bars) are only unlocked after completing certain quests.
Participate in events
Events are a great source of experience, materials, resources, as well as legendary scripts and modules. Many events are tailored to specific enemies, allowing you to specifically farm the necessary components. Furthermore, some unique legendary items only drop from specific events, such as:
- Elder’s Mark SMG: Beasts of Burden event.
- Holy Fire Flamethrower: Beasts of Burden event.
- Ancient Sword: Breach and Clear event.
- Foundation’s Vengeance Minigun: Eviction Notice Event.
Obtain daily currency limits from traders
Merchants and exchangers have daily currency limits that are updated every 24 hours. Please consider these restrictions before actively farming:
- Caps from NPC merchants: 1400/2800 per day.
- Legendary scripts exchange: 500 per day.
- Gold bar exchange: 400/800 per day.
Daily Operations and Quests
Daily Ops are solo or group-based dungeons that generously reward loot, experience, and resources (some rewards are given out once per day).
Daily quests from NPCs are also very useful: they can yield rare clothing and blueprints for the camp. It’s especially worth completing quests from the Raider (in the Crater) and Settlers (in the Foundation) factions to earn Treasury Bonds and increase your reputation.
