How to Get Copper in FO76?

To get copper in Fallout 76, there are several ways that you can approach the problem. The first and likely easiest method is to scrap light bulbs. There are dozens of them strewn all across the map, and you’ll always get a little bit of copper. Not much, but it’s pretty reliable. Option number two are old fuses. You can scrap them and get some copper and glass. Again, old fuses are all over the place, and they’re a decent source of copper.

Lastly, we have the copper deposits. These location can give you the largest amounts of copper; way more than light bulbs and fuses, to be sure. However, copper deposits are not as bountiful, so you kinda have to work harder to suss them out. We’re gonna go more into that in a little bit. Anyway, once you come across a copper deposit, if you hover over it, the game will tell you that it’s indeed a copper deposit. All that’s left then is to mine it, and get your copper.

Remember that you can always track a crafting material that you need. This will basically highlight anything that contains the tracked material for you. That way, it becomes much easier to spot it; not to mention that some items might have what you’re looking for, and you didn’t know about.

      You have to smelt the ore at a chemistry station. Then it becomes scraps you can craft/repair with.
