Similar to Fallout 4, junk in Fallout 76 is collected and used primarily for crafting of settlement objects and equipment mods. New to Fallout 76 is the ability to craft armor and weapons from scratch using junk and plans. Junk is also used to repair settlements and equipment. Several intelligence perks reduce the amount of junk needed to repair objects and items.
All junk items consist of one or more components that can be acquired from scrapping junk at any workbench. Because components weight less than junk, it is recommended to scrap junk often to prevent becoming overencumbered. The scrap all junk option available at work benches will scrap all junk items in the player character’s inventory automatically, save for items which are used as ingredients for making something else, such as baseballs. Bulking Aluminum and Lead can save 0.5 and 1 weight respectively, so it is recommended to bulk them if you are saving a lot for later use.
All weapons in Fallout 76, ballistic, energy, explosive, melee, or unarmed have a randomly generated condition bar, the same weapon may have a different amount of condition and a different condition bar length. Player characters with higher Intelligence can craft weapons with larger durability bars. Players with higher Luck can influence the condition of found weapons.
Additionally, a weapon’s level determines the base damage output and condition of the weapon. An example would be the combat rifle having a base damage increase by increments of 4 between level 20 and 50 leaving an unmodified level 50 combat rifle to have an additional 12 base damage over the level 20 counterpart and having a slightly longer condition bar. Higher level weapons also have higher build and repair costs.
All magazines grant increases to relevant skills or damage for 1 hour (2 hours if using the Curator perk). Using a skill magazine consumes it, and another will need to be obtained to implement the increase again once the allotted time has elapsed. They function similarly to skill magazines in Fallout: New Vegas, which also provide temporary benefits. Most of the Fallout 76 magazines share identical titles and cover art from Fallout 4 magazines, however the bonuses they provide are frequently slightly different and temporary.
Similar to Vault-Tec bobbleheads, the magazines in Fallout 76 are randomized spawns over a number of locations. Magazines are susceptible to physics, so they may fall off platforms and may not be in the exact location listed below.

Keys in Fallout 76 open specific doors or containers, some of which are inaccessible otherwise. Keys and key cards are found in the open in the game world or in containers, or on corpses. Passwords are found on notes, on computer terminals or given in prerecorded messages or on holotapes heard during quests. Quest related keys will typically not spawn unless the quest is active, for instance, the Dyer Chemical ID card for the quest Tracking Unknowns. Keys, once collected cannot be removed from inventory or placed in stash; however, they weigh nothing.

Many foods and drink items found in Appalachia are slightly irradiated and can give the player character radiation poisoning. Many also carry the chance of disease.
Food: Some food items can be planted in player settlements to increase the settlement’s food supply. Uneaten meat and vegetables will spoil over time and then have a greater chance of causing disease.
Soups: Soups satisfy both hunger and thirst and have some of the lowest chances of causing disease.
Drinks: These consumable items can heal the player, temporarily change the player’s SPECIAL stats and add various other unique effects. Some of these drinks can be crafted at chemistry stations found across Appalachia. When drinking alcoholic consumables such as beer and wine, there’s a chance the player can become addicted, which will result in decreased stats until the addiction is cured. To prevent addiction, the Professional Drinker perk must be leveled.
Ammunition or ammo is the term used for expendable ordnance material used in charging firearms of all kinds; such as powder, balls, shot, shells, percussion caps, rockets, missiles, energy, etc. The purpose of ammunition is to project force against a selected target or area.
All ammo has weight in Fallout 76 like in the survival modes of Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. This weight can be reduced with the appropriate perks which will reduce the weight of a particular type of ammo. The level of the player character determines how many and which types of ammo may appear in containers or on defeated enemies. However, there are certain types of ammo that will only appear at specific locations. There is plenty of ammo scattered throughout Appalachia, but if one has the caps and doesn’t feel like venturing out to find more, it can be purchased from both tradersand ammunition vending machines. Ammo can also be crafted at a tinker’s workbench with the appropriate materials.
Some types of ammunition can also be enhanced with ultracite. This makes it more deadly against enemies affected by the Scorched Plague. Ultracite ammunition can only be used by weapons which have been modified with a prime receiver.
