Stay healthy! Diseases and mutations can be detrimental to your character’s abilities. Be cautious in radioactive areas and use appropriate gear to protect yourself. Rads can get you, and carrying some RadX and RadAways will never hurt you, if you are thinking on reaching uncharted territory. After all, the aftermath of the nuclear war did leave some scars, don’t let them get you.

Public events are a fantastic way to earn valuable rewards, including caps and unique items. Keep an eye on the map for active events and join in whenever possible! You will find bosses, challenges, and a lot of resources. Some Public Events will open new quests, or even gathering sites for you and the people on your server.

16. Scrap Wisely
Scrap weapons and armor you don't need for crafting materials. You can use these materials to craft items or repair your gear. Sometimes you will find weapons that just don't click with you and also doesn't have a good value to be sold. Scrap them! Scrap everything. Seriously. Your inventory will thank you.
17. Focus on Resource Gathering
Invest time in gathering resources like lead, aluminum, and adhesive. These materials are always in demand and can fetch a good price. Most of the time you will use them to Craft, but after a while, selling them (in bulks even, like most players do in Gameflip), will be a even better option.
18. Leverage Your Camp's Location in West Virginia
Place your camp near high-traffic areas or valuable resources. A well-placed camp can attract other players, who might buy from your vending machine. You will learn from good locations by playing. Sometimes you will be able to find other C.A.M.P.s from other players, and then you can mark that location, reload your server, and if it's empty, time to build yours!
19. Collect and Sell Rare Junk
Keep an eye out for rare junk items that players often need for crafting. These can include things like ballistic fiber and screws! Some players are really into crafting (maybe you are one of those!) and are always looking for these materials. Cap-talize on that (got it?).
20. Maximize Your Vendor Sales
Max out your daily limit of 1,400 caps from NPC vendors by selling excess or high-value items each day. Plan your sales to maximize profit! There's no reason for you not to use the NPCs for your profit. Having a good routine of sales, crafting and adventuring is the recipe for success and true wealth in Fallout 76.
