Where To Find Copper In Fallout 76

Copper is an important crafting material used to construct electronics and electrical items. If something needs power, it most likely needs Copper to be crafted. In this document, we’ll check the best ways to farm Copper in Fallout 76.

Where to find Copper

You have three ways to get Copper:

  1. Use extractors in workshops or your C.A.M.P. and place them on Copper deposits.
  2. You can mine Copper veins in the world to get Copper Ore and smelt it into Copper scraps.
  3. By scrapping items that yield Copper.

Copper Ore Locations

You can build your C.A.M.P. close to a Copper deposit or take a workshop with a Copper deposit close by. This allows you to build a Copper Extractor on that deposit. This will allow you to loot 10 Copper ore every 10 minutes per vein.

Note: If you want to extract Lead Scraps with your C.A.M.P., you can not use deposits that belong to a workshop. Cross-reference the map of workshop locations below.

These are all Lead deposits in Appalachia. Please check our Fo76 Resources Map If you want to combine it with other deposits.
