Fallout 76 is filled to the brim with items that can be picked up and broken down for their core components. Junk components are used for everything from CAMP building to crafting and repairing weapons and armor pieces. Circuitry is a core component of most electrical appliances.

Not only that, but every now and then, players will need to scrap items that contain circuitry as part of a daily or weekly challenge. Completing these challenges allows the player to progress through the season scoreboard and claim all of the top-tier rewards that it has to offer. This guide will go through all there is to know about circuitry and how to get it.

Sometimes, players may come across vendor bots that have bulk circuitry in their inventory. While they are pretty pricey, it's an easy way to get hold of a decent amount of circuitry without having to do any looting.

It's also possible to find individual circuits in various locations around the map. Aliens drop circuitry when killed. However, this is only useful during the Invaders From Beyond seasonal event. While circuitry can be found on enemies and as world loot, picking up circuitry won't help with challenges that require players to scrap junk to produce circuitry.

The Best Places To Farm Circuitry

Modus Production Terminal

There are lots of places that have high quantities of junk items that contain circuitry. One of the quickest ways to get circuitry is through the Whitespring Bunker. The player will need to have completed the quest, Bunker Buster, in order to get inside.

But for those with access, there is a lot of circuitry to be salvaged inside the bunker. There are lots of telephones on the desks in the Military Wing. Also, the Modus Productions Terminal sells bulk circuitry pretty often.

Other notable areas for collecting circuitry include:

  • The Whitespring Refuge: Telephones dotted around the area.
  • Site Alpha/Bravo/Charlie: Telephones throughout. Also, lots of robots that can be destroyed for circuitry.
  • Watoga: There are lots of robots and a handful of Assaultrons that can be destroyed for their circuitry.
  • Abbie's Bunker: Various items that contain circuitry are dotted around the interior.
  • Eastern Regional Penitentiary: Enter through the door to the main building. Head to the first room on the right. There are lots of telephones on desks.

There are other locations that can be visited to farm some circuitry, but the places listed above are the more fruitful areas to visit. When you have lots of items that contain circuitry, head over to any workbench and scrap everything before putting it in your stash box. This will help save space in your stash box.
