Summary
- Prefabs in Fallout 76 offer quick and easy base building options for players who prefer decorating over crafting from scratch.
- Popular prefabs like the Log Cabin and Charleston Fire Station provide unique aesthetics and functional space for CAMP customization.
- Newer prefabs like the Iron Mountain Anvil cater to player preferences for larger, more classic structures in the game.
Prefabs have been in Fallout 76 for a few years. Every few weeks, the Atomic Shop is updated with a new and fun prefab that players can buy and use. There are lots of large structures that players can get their hands on, but some have proven to be much more popular than others.
Fallout 76: Best Camp Locations
Here's what the best spots for a camp are in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 76, and what their pros and cons are.
While some players enjoy building their base piece by piece, others prefer to place down a prefab and just decorate the interior. That said, more players are turning to prefabs thanks to the introduction of large player vaults that allow gamers to build prefabs inside them. Most of the prefabs featured on this list can still be purchased with Atoms through the Atomic Shop. If they aren't in the Atomic Shop, then players can contact Bethesda, as they sell older Atomic Shop items through their store.
Updated on July 24, 2024, by Benjamin Joe: With each Atomic Shop update, there seems to be a new prefab available for players to purchase. As such, there are lots of prefabs that players can incorporate into their CAMP builds. From the huge buildings that span over multiple floors to small canopies that are just big enough to place a CAMP Vendor under, there's sure to be something for everyone. Since the catalog of prefabs is so big, there are always more great entries that can be added to this article. Also, due to the recent Skyline Valley update, many players are opting to set up shop in the games' new region.
12 Wavy Willard's Wipeout
A Fun Aquatic Adventure
Wavy Willard's Wipeout is a unique prefab that allows players to have their own water park adventure at their base. While the prefab itself doesn't offer that much space for players to put things in, its main draw is the functional three-story water slide that players can interact with.
There is a room on both the first floor and the second floor. These rooms are just about big enough to fit most of the core crafting benches and stash boxes players will need. While it is a lot of fun, there isn't much that can be done with it in terms of exciting builds, but it is still a popular prefab that many players have in their CAMP.
11 Log Cabin
Simple But Fun
The Log Cabin has been in Fallout 76 for quite a while. It isn't particularly big, but players can place a total of three Log Cabins in their CAMP. As for the aesthetics, the Log Cabin is a blank canvas. It is, quite literally, just a cabin with no memorable features. While this may not sound too exciting, it is great for players who want to take something plain and put their own spin on it.
Fallout 76: The 10 Creepiest Locations In The Game, Ranked
Fallout 76 is filled with creepy locations and themes. Here are the 10 creepiest locations, ranked.
Similar to the previous entry, the Log Cabin fits in perfectly in the Forest Region. However, it also looks good in the Ash Heap and Cranberry Bog. While a Log Cabin isn't big enough to fit all the player's CAMP items, the fact that three can be placed down gives the player plenty of build space to customize their cabins.
10 Slocum's Fat Stack
An American Diner Experience
When it was first introduced to the Atomic Shop, players couldn't get enough of Slocum's Fat Stack. There isn't another prefab like this in the game. The misshapen exterior and Slocum's banner on top of the building really give this broken-down diner a cool vibe.
It can be used alongside a couple of other prefabs to create a small town where players can stop and maybe spend some Caps. The one downside to this prefab is that it can be tricky to fit things inside due to the round shape of the building.
9 Wild Mountain Rifle Range
A Great Concrete Base
If Fallout 76 players are looking for something that is big, bold, and sturdy, then they need look no further than the Wild Mountain Rifle Range. While it's not the biggest prefab in the game, it is just big enough to fit all of the essentials inside. Not only that, but a large portion of the roof is flat, making it the perfect place to stick down a couple of turrets to ward off enemies.
This prefab matches perfectly with the Communist Bunker. So, if the player wants to create a communist-style base, these two structures will really give one's CAMP that looming war feeling.
8 Charleston Fire Station
An Imposing Structure
This Atomic Shop item spans over 3 floors, has lots of space, and it even has a functional fire station pole that runs down the middle of the building. The interior is large enough to fit all of the player's important crafting benches, a couple of beds, and a few decorative pieces. Since the prefab is tall and narrow, it doesn't take up much space in the player's CAMP, meaning that the player can very easily build lots of other structures around it.
Fallout 76: 7 Best CAMP Locations in The Skyline Valley Region
If Fallout 76 players are looking for a good spot to set up their CAMP in Skyline Valley, these areas are highly recommended.
Charleston Fire Station has a dilapidated aesthetic to it, making it the perfect choice for those who want to keep the post-war theme at their base. Also, with some careful placement, it's possible to build stairs all around the exterior to create a sort of scaffold structure. Overall, this prefab is big, tall, and great as a standalone piece or as part of a larger build.
7 Red Rocket Garage
A Fallout Classic
Red Rocket Stations can be seen across numerous Fallout games. The iconic rocket logo sitting on top is something that is hard to miss. This prefab comes with a functional garage door, and when it is powered up, smoke comes out of the rocket on the roof.
While it's not particularly big, it can be used alongside several other prefabs to create immersive town settlements that other players can visit and explore. Currently, it is used by a lot of players to house their vending machines.
6 Camp Counselor Tent
A Camper's Dream
While it may not be the most exciting structure in Fallout 76, the Camp Counselor Tent is the perfect shelter for tough wastelanders. As far as tents go, the Camp Counselor Tent is pretty big. A single tent is large enough to fit all of the key workbenches and stash boxes with enough room left over to place a bed.
The Camp Counselor Tent is a reward obtainable in the game's latest season. Players can have up to two Camp Counselors Tents placed at their CAMP, allowing them to build their very own camping-inspired home if they wish.
5 Pittsburgh Palace
A Junkyard Masterpiece
The Pittsburgh Palace was a reward from a previous season. While there are similar prefabs that players can get, the Pittsburgh Palace is the perfect selection of big, bulky items that are large enough to live in. The structure spans over multiple levels and has enough sections to house everything a player needs to survive in the wasteland.
The structure is made up of some shipping containers and a couple of broken vehicles. It really fits in with Appalachia's destroyed landscape. With a couple of generators and a few decorative pieces, the Pittsburgh Palace can be a great place to call home.
4 Woodland Retreat
An Enormous House
The Woodland Retreat is one of the biggest prefabs in all of Fallout 76. It is designed to look like a slightly dilapidated house, but it has a lot of charming qualities about it. No matter where the player decides to put it, the Woodland Retreat fits in nicely in almost every location in the game.
9 Most Breathtaking Locations In Fallout 76
If players stop to smell the roses they'll find Fallout 76 has some shockingly pretty scenery.
The one downside of this prefab is that some players think it's too big and, therefore, difficult to decorate. That said, players who enjoy ample building space will love building in the Woodland Retreat. It has four floors that players can furnish, so the possibilities are almost endless.
3 Hunter's Lodge
Great For Forest Builds
The Hunter's Lodge is a really solid prefab. It has ample build space inside, and it doesn't take up a lot of the CAMP budget. The building itself spans over two floors and features a balcony and a porch. It fits in very nicely in the forest region, making it a popular choice among players who like to build bases that fit in with their surroundings.
Something extra that this prefab has is a tiny, hidden ledge inside the building. By using a jetpack, it is possible for players to get up on this ledge. This little extra space can be used to keep things that the player doesn't want others to find, like Company Tea and Canned Coffee. It can also be used as a miniature sleeping area.
