What to do with caps?

[Yudash (. )( .)]

Silly question. But is there in the game something worth to buy for caps? I already reach the limit and I am wondering if there is any vendor selling something important for caps or something like that?

Depends entirely on your objectives and situation.

-Have a Scrap box? Buy crafting materials from players/NPCs.

-Like CAMP building? Buy CAMP plans you like from players/NPCs.

-Want to engage in the trading sector? Buy Flux or rare items/plans from player vendors to convert excess caps into items with trade value. That way, you'll have assets available to trade for things you want down the road.


People say caps are useless and yet, all these years, they have remained a valid method of getting what you want.

What if my objectives are to disengage from capitalistic philosophies?

I don't think you will find some very, very good weapon for caps. People mostly sell total trash or average quality weapons at best. You have to be very, very lucky to find some quality weapons in Vendors, even for high prices like 30-40k caps.

See example #3 in cited post.

Capitalism does not exist in Fallout 76. It is a command economy dictated by Bethesda.

If I ever manage to hit that point, I'm planning on buying weapon and armor plans along with any cooking recipes I can find since crafting's a big thing for me.
