Set up a CAMP vendor
Player vending machines in your CAMP let you sell to other players. Plans, ammo, serums, chems and useful legendary items sell well. Price slightly below similar listings and build your CAMP somewhere players pass by.
Daily NPC vendor sales
NPC vendors share a daily pool of caps. Sell junk weapons and armour you don't need each day until you hit the limit. Perks that improve prices make this more efficient.
Events and quests
Many activities pay caps directly:
- Public events reward caps and loot.
- Daily quests and challenges add up over a week.
- Treasure maps and locked containers sometimes hold caps.
- Seasonal events often give valuable plans to sell.
Craft what players want
Crafting ammo, serums and popular items is a reliable way to earn. Learn plans that are in demand and sell their results in your vendor.
Watch the caps limit
Characters can only hold a limited amount of caps. When you're close to the limit, spend caps on plans and gear or trade for items instead.
