This is hands down the best way to Getting Caps in Fallout 76. Some people wonder how I always seem to have so many caps, and the answer is simple: Selling Legendary’s. These special weapons and armor can sometimes be absolute GARBAGE, but if you can muster up a good 2 or 3 star item with mainly good perks, these items can fetch upwards of 10-25,000 caps PER item (usually on weapons at least, armor not so much).
You can get Legendary’s from various events, such as “One Violent Night,” “Scorched Earth,” “Project Paradise,” “Free Range,” and “Encryptid.” Each of these events guarantees a Legendary at the end, one of which will USUALLY be a 2-star item or higher, all depending on your luck I suppose… not the actual perk, like, real life luck.
Other than completing those events, Legendary’s typically spawn at random around the world, and they’ve nerfed the rate at which they spawn, meaning that your Caps grinding spree might go a bit slower this route than expected. But fear not, if you’re just wanting to grind levels and hopefully get some legendary’s at the same time, there are several grinding locations I’d recommend that typically have a couple legendary’s spawning each day, at MAX level, so you don’t get any garbage.
