In the wasteland created after a massive nuclear war, humanity has taken its first steps to recreate what it was before the bombs fell. Currency is a part of any society, and the currency of choice in all Fallout games is caps. Bottle caps become the usual method of payment for all the weapons and stimpacks your character needs to survive. Of course, there are plenty of people who want to save every cap they get their hands on. So how many caps can you save before you hit the cap limit in Fallout 76?
What is the cap limit in Fallout 76?
The cap limit in Fallout 76 was originally very low. When the game was first released, you could have a maximum of 25,000 caps and no more. After a few updates, the limit was increased to 30,000 and then to 35,000. Now, the cap limit is 40,000 in total. Once you reach the 40,000 cap limit, the in-game counter will switch from a number to say the word “max.”

You’ll mainly get caps during your journey in the game by selling items at various train station vendors found on the map. There are lots of ways to get caps, but the best way is by selling high-value items and having a high Charisma score. Charisma affects the number of caps you get from selling items. Make sure all the weapons, armor, and chemicals you pick up are hung up so that you can sell them the next time you encounter a train station vendor or one of the wanderlust merchants.

Since the increase in the cap limit, the developers have also added additional currencies like Gold Bullion for you to collect as well. Like caps, gold bullion has a limit but it is very less. You can hold a maximum of 10,000 gold bullion per character. Be sure to spend it so that it doesn’t go to waste.
