Fallout 76 continues to be updated after it’s fanbase surged post Fallout TV show. The Skyline Valley update added a new area to explore in the Appalachian Wasteland along with the ability to play as a ghoul, and the most recent Milepost Zero update has changed some aspects to make the game easier for newcomers.
Fallout 76 has more survival elements than some of its predecessors. You have to live off the land and provide for yourself if you want to survive in the harsh wasteland. Tinker’s Workbenches are a new workshop item in Fallout 76; here’s what they do and how you can build one in your camp.
What Is A Tinker’s Workbench In Fallout 76?
The Tinker’s Workbench is a workshop used for crafting. It is separate from the weapon/armor benches and is used primarily for making ammo, grenades, and bulk junk items. There are many placed around the map for you to use when you find them, and it’s always a good idea to turn your gunpowder and other junk items into ammo while on long scavenging runs.
A Tinker’s Workbench is an essential part of your own personal camp. However, you cannot build it straight away like the other workbenches.
Where To Find Tinker’s Workbench Plans In Fallout 76
You’ll need a set of plans before you can build a Tinker’s Workbench in Fallout 76. You should receive a set of plans early on after completing the Second Helpings quest. Check the notes section of your inventory and press X/A on the plans to learn how to build it.
Due to the open nature of the game, you may have missed the quest or simply skipped it.
You can find another set of plans at the Lakeside Cabins area south of Vault 76. These cabins are in the forest region near the town of Summersville. The area is overlooking the dried out lake. The middle cabin has a Tinker’s Workbench out back, and the set of plans can be found on the left side of the workbench.
How To Build A Tinker’s Workbench In Fallout 76
With the plans acquired, return to your camp to build your own Tinker’s Workbench. You can find it in the crafting section of the menu, and you’ll need these junk resources to build it.
