Fallout 76 Guide: 10 Things You Should Do First
Fallout 76 can feel overwhelming for new players. From the moment you step out of Vault 76, the game gives you total freedom, and with so much happening at once, it’s easy to feel lost. This guide breaks down the most important things you should focus on when you first start playing Fallout 76, helping you build a strong foundation and avoid common beginner mistakes.
| Enable Pacifist Mode Early | One of the first settings you should change is Pacifist Mode. While Fallout 76 technically allows light PvP, the majority of the community prefers cooperative play. Accidental PvP encounters can be frustrating, especially when you’re new. By turning on Pacifist Mode in the game settings, you won’t be able to damage other players, and they won’t be able to damage you. You can toggle this setting on or off anytime, but enabling it early helps you focus on learning the game without unnecessary interruptions. |
| Follow the Main Quest Line | After leaving Vault 76, you’ll be directed to speak with a Mr. Handy robot and then two nearby NPCs. This leads you to the Wayward Souls quest and officially starts the main storyline. Following the main quest is essential. It takes you across the map, introduces key mechanics, and unlocks major game features such as: Nukes, Gold bullion vendors and Factions. Many important systems are locked behind story progression, so consistently working on the main quest will save you time and frustration later. |
| Unlock Key Locations on the Map | Fallout 76’s map is massive, but certain locations are especially important: 1) The Whitespring Resort – A major player hub with vendors, crafting stations, storage, and daily quests. You don’t need to walk to these locations manually. If you haven’t discovered them yet, fast travel to nearby player camps and walk the remaining distance. Unlocking these locations early gives you valuable fast travel points for the rest of the game. |
| Set Up Your CAMP as Soon as Possible | Your CAMP is one of the most important systems in Fallout 76. Find a spot you like, open your Pip-Boy, and place your camp. At a minimum, your camp should include: Crafting stations, A stash box and A vending machine. Stash boxes are shared across the entire game, meaning you can access your stored items from any stash box anywhere on the map. Vending machines allow you to sell items to other players for caps, which becomes a major income source. |
| Reach Level 50 Before Chasing Endgame Gear | There is no true level cap in Fallout 76, but level 50 is a major milestone. Once you reach level 50, all weapons and armor you find will be at their maximum level. Before that, gear scales to your current level. Farming powerful items too early often results in weaker versions that you’ll quickly replace. Focus on leveling through quests and public events first — endgame gear hunting can wait. |
| Start Saving Perk Coins Early | As you level up, you’ll earn perk cards. Once you hit level 50, you unlock legendary perk cards, which are extremely powerful but require perk coins to upgrade. Perk coins come from scrapping unwanted perk cards. Early on, it’s tempting to hoard everything, but leveling is fast, and you’ll eventually be able to unlock any perk card you need on demand. Scrapping duplicates early helps you prepare for the expensive legendary perks later. |
| Solve Carry Weight Problems with Excavator Power Armor | Carry weight is a constant struggle, especially for new players. Around level 25, you can fix this by completing the Miner Miracles quest at the Garrahan Mining Headquarters. Completing this quest unlocks the full Excavator Power Armor set, which increases carry weight by 100 lbs. Adding Calibrated Shocks to both legs boosts this even further, giving you a total bonus of 200 lbs. This makes exploration and looting far more manageable. |
| Scrap Legendary Items Instead of Selling Them | You’ll find a lot of legendary items while playing, many of which won’t fit your build. Instead of selling or dropping them, scrap them at a workbench. Scrapping legendary items can: Grant legendary crafting materials and Unlock legendary mods permanently. Learning legendary mods is a huge advantage in the endgame, allowing you to craft and customize gear to match your build. Many players regret selling legendaries early instead of scrapping them—don’t make that mistake. |
| Unlock Fishing at Fisherman’s Rest | Fishing is an underrated feature in Fallout 76. Head to Fisherman’s Rest and talk to Captain Raymond Clark to unlock fishing, receive your first rod, and start the fishing questline. Fishing provides useful rewards and upgrades, making it a relaxing and rewarding side activity worth unlocking early. |
| Unlock Expeditions for Powerful Rewards | To unlock Expeditions, visit the Whitespring Refuge and talk to Orlando. After completing a short questline, you’ll gain access to Expeditions, which offer: Ammo, Legendary items, Experience and Rare plants. Expeditions also reward Stamps, which can be spent on powerful gear like the Auto Axe, Cold Shoulder shotgun, and Union Power Armor—some of the best items in the game. |
