Fallout 76 junk items

General information
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.

Crafting components
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. Bulking aluminum and lead can save 0.5 and 1 weight respectively, so bulk them if you are saving a lot for later use.

General information


Bulk
Raw materials can be turned into bulk versions at a Tinker's workbench. This costs a set number of the involved raw material to be bulked, plus two plastic to wrap it. There are only two materials that will reduce the weight of a junk item in your inventory or stash when compared to their non bulked counterpart. These three are aluminum, which will reduce the overall weight by 0.5, and lead, which will reduce the overall weight by 1. Plastic technically experiences a weight reduction, but 2 of the 12 are consumed in the crafting recipe, leaving you with 10 plastic, which weigh the same unbulked.

It may appear when creating bulk items that you are saving space in your stash with each item, but that is because of the two plastic it costs to create each bulk item, giving you a gain of 0.1 weight with each bulk item, because they are consuming plastic.

Another advantage to creating bulk versions is; the in-game robot merchants will buy bulk items but not individual raw materials. The disadvantage is the need for plastic which can be used up quickly if a large number of items are being bulked.
