U4GM - 10 Fallout 76 Items You Should Always Keep in Your Stash
Managing your stash in Fallout 76 can be a challenge, especially with limited storage space. However, some items are simply too valuable to scrap or sell—whether for crafting, trading, or future updates. Here are 10 items you should always hold onto, no matter how tight your stash gets.
1. Ballistic Fiber
Ballistic Fiber is essential for repairing high-tier armor, and it’s notoriously hard to find in large quantities. Since it’s used in almost every end-game armor repair, keeping a stockpile will save you from scrambling later.
2. Stable Flux
If you plan on crafting or modifying power armor, energy weapons, or underarmor mods, Stable Flux is a must. It’s also a sought-after trading commodity, so even if you don’t need it now, someone else might.
3. Screws
Screws are the bane of every Fallout 76 player’s existence. They’re required for countless high-end mods and repairs, and they’re always in short supply. Never pass up an opportunity to hoard them.
4. Legendary Scrip Items
Even if a legendary item isn’t useful for your build, don’t scrap it for mere Fallout 76 Caps. Instead, exchange it for Legendary Scrip at the Purveyor. You’ll thank yourself later when rolling for better gear.
5. Nuclear Keycards
These rare items are needed to launch nukes, one of the most rewarding end-game activities. Since they don’t weigh much, there’s no reason not to keep a few on hand for when you’re ready to take on a silo.
6. Treasure Maps
Treasure maps lead to hidden caches that often contain rare plans, weapons, and junk. Since they weigh nothing, stash them until you’re ready to go digging.
7. Rare Plans & Recipes
Some plans, like those for power armor mods or camp decorations, are incredibly rare. Even if you already know them, they can be traded for hefty amounts of Fallout 76 Caps or other high-value items.
8. Ammo Converter-Favorite Ammo Types
While ammo generally isn’t stash-worthy, keeping a reserve of your most-used types (like 5.56 or .50 cal) ensures you’re never caught empty-handed. The Ammo Converter makes managing excess easier, but always keep a personal stockpile.
9. Disease Cures & Antibiotics
High-radiation zones and tough enemies can leave you with nasty afflictions. Stocking a few disease cures will save you the hassle of backtracking to a vendor when you’re deep in a dungeon.
10. Unique Event Rewards
Some event-exclusive items, like the T-65 Power Armor plans or Elder’s Battle Coat, can’t be easily reacquired. Even if you don’t need them now, they might become valuable trade pieces later.
Final Thoughts
A well-organized stash can make the difference between struggling and thriving in Fallout 76. While it’s tempting to buy Fallout 76 Items to fill gaps, knowing what to keep ensures you’re always prepared. If you’re ever in doubt, remember: some items are just too good to let go.
