The Fallout 76 Caps-A-Plenty Event is a welcome opportunity for Wastelanders looking to fatten their wallets. Whether you’re saving up for a new weapon mod or need extra Caps for your vendor routes, this limited-time event provides a lucrative way to boost your income. In this guide, we’ll break down how to maximize your earnings during this event, with practical tips drawn from experienced players.

Understanding the Caps-A-Plenty Event

The Caps-A-Plenty Event is a recurring in-game activity designed to increase the number of Caps you can earn across various gameplay mechanics. For the duration of the event, players receive boosted Caps from events, daily challenges, public events, and even vendor sales. It’s the perfect time to offload your junk, complete more quests, and make every action count.

Prioritize High-Reward Public Events

During the Fallout 76 Caps-A-Plenty Event, public events become even more valuable. Focus on events like "Radiation Rumble", "Scorched Earth", and "A Colossal Problem", all of which provide substantial Caps alongside their usual loot. These events also tend to attract larger groups, making them easier to complete quickly and efficiently.

Tip: Equip Perk Cards like "Inspirational" (for more XP) and "Travel Agent" (for reduced fast travel cost) to help you participate in multiple events without draining your own resources.

Sell to Player Vendors Strategically

The increased activity during the Caps-A-Plenty Event means more foot traffic to your C.A.M.P. Set up vending machines with high-demand items such as ammo, legendary gear, and crafting materials. Keep your prices fair—players are more likely to buy in bulk during this time.

If you’re visiting others' camps, look for cheap items that you can flip back to NPC vendors for profit. Some players underprice junk, giving savvy traders a chance to resell for a tidy margin.

Maximize NPC Vendor Cap Limits

Each vendor faction (e.g., Whitespring, Watoga, Foundation) shares a Cap pool. During the event, this pool may be increased or reset more frequently. This allows you to sell more items for maximum value. Prioritize high-value junk like bulk adhesive, ammo, and purified water.

Crafting items in bulk (especially via plans you already own) and selling them at vendor terminals is another efficient way to boost your earnings. Don’t forget to use Perk Cards like “Hard Bargain” for better sale prices.

Complete Daily and Weekly Challenges

The Caps-A-Plenty Event often coincides with special challenges tied to earning Caps. These can be as simple as selling items to a vendor or completing a certain number of public events. These bonuses are easy to knock out and offer a good return with minimal extra effort.

Make sure to check your challenges tab frequently and knock out any Cap-related goals early in your session.

Go Treasure Hunting

Caps are hidden all over Appalachia, especially in safes, cash registers, and hidden stashes. With fewer players focusing on exploration during events, this is a great time to scout abandoned locations and high-tier loot areas like the Charleston Capitol Building or the Watoga Emergency Services building.

Pair this activity with Perk Cards like "Cap Collector" and "Fortune Finder" for a noticeable bump in random Cap finds.

The Fallout 76 Caps-A-Plenty Event is more than just a temporary boost—it’s an opportunity to reshape your economy for the weeks ahead. Whether you’re a seasoned bartering veteran or a newcomer trying to climb the financial ladder, this event offers every player a chance to profit. Plan your routes, stock your vendors, and participate actively. The Caps are out there—go get them.
