A caps stash is a world object and container in Fallout 76.

Characteristics

A gray tin full of bottlecaps. It is not an item that can be placed in the inventory, but rather like a bobby pin box in that it adds a random amount of bottlecaps to one's inventory instead. Caps stashes are treated as containers, with the caps already held inside.

Although the contents of caps stashes in Fallout 76 are instanced, the stashes themselves are not guaranteed spawns and may not spawn in the world that the player character is in. Changing the server will affect caps stash spawns.

Notes

• The Cap Collector perk and Bobblehead: Caps increase the chances of finding more bottle caps when opening a cap stash. The Fortune Finder perk also makes it easier to find caps stashes by providing an audio cue when one is approached.
• Prior to patch 1.0.5.10, caps stashes were instanced server-wide and only obtainable by the first player to discover it, which tended to cause players to intentionally server-hop to collect large numbers of freshly respawned stashes. Since the patch, caps stashes have become containers instanced per-player, allowing multiple players to collect from the same caps stash, eliminating most of the benefit of server-hopping.
• Prior to the Wastelanders update, there were many more caps stashes located at various locations around the world. Many of these were removed between patch 1.0.5.10 and Wastelanders.
