Fallout 76: Farming Screws - How to Find the Material

Screws are not necessarily rare in Fallout 76, but they are often needed. In our guide, we will show you how to farm screws and from which items you can obtain screws.

You need screws in Fallout 76 for all kinds of things. Almost every weapon or armor requires screws in order to repair or craft it.

While screws can be found relatively often, you still need a lot of them. In our guide, we explain where to find screws and from which junk you can salvage them.

Screws – where to search?

You are best off searching for the corresponding items in the area. For screws, you need items that are relatively common in the region. So, you should carefully look around while moving through the game world.

While there are no classic farming spots, fans seem to have identified a spot where you can get a lot of screws: Sugar Grove, north of the National Radio Research Centers. Additionally, there should be other useful materials like aluminum.

Other players suggest killing Wendigos. Although these are fearsome and almost naked creatures, Wendigos are said to be a good source of screws. They are not the first bosses that drop strange loot.

Where do I find Wendigos? Inside Fort Defiance, a Wendigo awaits you. It should be at level 42. So make sure that your level is high enough. Fort Defiance is located in the eastern part of the Cranberry Bogs and is the former base of a known faction.

If you find a Wendigo or clear out an area, you can start again through server hopping.

A basic tip: No matter what material you are looking for, use the “Tag for Search” function. This will always show you with a magnifying glass whether a certain item contains the sought material.
