Where To Get Screws In Fallout 76

Crafting is a significant component of Fallout 76, particularly for upgrading weaponry and armor using materials such as Screws. However, players often run out of these crucial resources at critical moments. This shortage can be frustrating while trying to survive in the wasteland of the Commonwealth.

Screws are an essential crafting material for many items in the RPG but are also among the scarcer items. If you need more Screws, there are several ways to find and farm them. Fortunately, while Screws themselves are rare, numerous ordinary items scattered across the post-apocalyptic world can be dismantled to yield them for your crafting needs.

How To Farm Screws In Fallout 76

Scrap Common Objects At The Workbench

Close

One of the simplest methods to obtain screws in Fallout 76 is by scrapping common objects at a Workbench. You will find Screws within dozens of objects available across the wasteland. When exploring wrecked buildings, check desk drawers for Loose Screws and dismantle the items listed below, which typically yield x1 to x4 Screws each:

Item Screws Accordion 1 Acoustic Guitar 1 Antique Globe 1 Banjo 1 Bulk Screws 10 Carlisle Typewriter 2 Chez Vivi Typewriter 4 Clipboard 1 Clean Globe 1 Clean Pepper Mill 2

Item Screws Desk fan 2 Drumstick 1 Flute 1 Giddyup Buttercup 3 Giddyup Buttercup body 2 Globe 2 Handcuffs 1 Harmonica 1 Hot plate 1 Hubcap 2

Item Screws Loose Screws 1 Mini Nuke Stabilizer Fins 1 Mouth Harp 1 New Toy Car 1 New Toy Truck 3 Office Desk Fan 1 Pepper Mill 2 Portable Fuel Tank 1 Restored Desk Fan 2 Scrap Assaultron Head 1

Item Screws Silver Locket 1 Snare Drum 1 Souvenir Toy Car 1 Steel Guitar 1 Tongs 1 Toy Car 1 Toy Truck 1 Triangle 1 Trumpet 1 Typewriter 1 Violin 1 Violin Bow 1

You can also get Screws by scrapping weapons and armor. Dismantling Assault Rifles, Combat Shotguns, and Gatling Lasers provide x4 Screws each. Only scrap these valuable firearms if you possess extras or don't require their use. Power Armors in Fallout 76 can be scrapped for Screws, but consider keeping it intact unless you have an ample surplus, given its value and strength.

The Scrapper Intelligence Perk Card enhances the number of components you receive when scrapping Weapons and Armor. Equipping this Perk increases the Screws you collect significantly, optimizing your farming process.

Purchase From Vendors

You can buy Bulk Screws (10 Loose Screws), for 100 Bottle Caps in Fallout 76, from various vendors across the surface world. At Whitespring Resort, Bulk Screws are available from Friedrick (GM-5), a Mister Gutsy vendor, and a Brotherhood vendor located in the resort's Creekside Lodge.

Bulk Screws are a valuable investment since they cannot be crafted, only purchased.

Loot From Enemies

In Fallout 76, enemies like Wendigos are notable for dropping Screws, making them prime targets for farming this essential crafting item. These humanoid mutated creatures, known for their brutality and viciousness, come in variants such as the Ravenous Wendigo, Glowing Wendigo, Progenitor Wendigo, and Scorched Wendigo.

Many Wendigos can be found in the menacing Wendigo Cave in the Savage Divide region, located south of the Atlas Observatory. It's critical to come prepared with optimized weaponry and armor, as the cave presents a challenging feat. Defeating these creatures yields between x5 to x16 Screws.

The 'A Colossal Problem' event from Fallout 76's Legendary Run update offers a public quest where players confront multiple Wendigos and defeat the Wendigo Colossus. This intense encounter provides an excellent opportunity to collect more Screws by defeating these formidable enemies.

The Best Farming Locations For Screws In Fallout 76

In Fallout 76, finding the items to dismantle for Screws among the vast array of mundane objects can be overwhelming. Several locations are particularly rich in these particular items, so venture out with a light inventory, ready to gather as many crafting materials as possible to return to your Workbench.

Sugar Grove

Sugar Grove, a prime spot for stocking up on Screws, is a Radio Relay station in the Savage Divide area of Appalachia. It is situated north of the National Isolated Radio Astronomy Research Center and south of Hawke's Refuge.

A wealth of items, like Desk Fans and Antique Globes, can be found in the main lobby and throughout the building. You can expect to find at least x12 fans and x4 Globes collectively, providing over x28 Screws.

National Radio Astronomy Research Center

South of the grove is the National Radio Astronomy Research Center, located east of the National Isolated Radio Array. This building is s good source for Antique Globes and Desk Fans and contains Typewriters, all of which can be scrapped for Screws.

This building is infested with Scorched enemies in Fallout 76: human victims of the Scorched plague. You must confront and defeat these adversaries as you navigate and explore the building.

Charleston Capitol Building

The Charleston Capitol Building, on the eastern side of Charleston, houses x12 Typewriters and several Desk Fans available to scavenge. The surrounding buildings also contain similar items, so a thorough exploration is recommended. At the Charleston Fire Department, you can purchase Screws directly from Vendor Bot Mack, located at the main trading post on the second floor.

Abandoned Bog Town

The Abandoned Bog Town is located along Route 65 in Fallout 76's Cranberry Bog region, northeast of AMS Corporate Headquarters. Head to the tallest building in town, where you can access the upper floors via stairs on the side of the building and drop into the interior through an elevator shaft. Inside, you'll find an abundance of loot, including x10 Typewriters, x4 Antique Globes, and x3 Desk Fans.

Whitespring Resort

Whitespring Resort, situated in the Savage Divide region of Fallout 76, is among the easiest locations for gathering Screws. The resort hosts multiple vendors where Screws can be purchased directly and includes plentiful items throughout the property.

Look for Toy Cars and occasionally a Giddyup Buttercup inside the hotel's Toy Store. The real treasure trove is the bunker, located beneath the resort and south of the Whitespring Service entrance, which is rich in items that can be scrapped for Screws.

Whitespring Resort bunker access is exclusively granted when progressing 'Bunker Buster,' the initial main quest for the Enclave faction in Fallout 76.

Inside, you'll typically find at least five Desk Fans. For additional loot, visit the presidential cabin to find Toy Cars and a Giddyup Buttercup under a Christmas tree. Continue upstairs to a child’s room for more Toy Cars. Collectively, these items yield approximately x25 to x35 Screws, making the bunker an optimal location to explore and plunder in Fallout 76.
