My First Workbench

My First Workbench is an upgrade for the home. Workbenches are used with schematics to create custom weapons from the component parts found throughout the wasteland.

Become An Owner

 * The first house in the game the player has the option of obtaining is conveniently in Megaton the very first wasteland city a player comes across. This home is granted if the player sides with the citizens of Megaton and disarms the unexploded atomic bomb during The Power of the Atom quest given by sheriff Lucas Simms.


 * Once you own your own Megaton house, a personal workbench for the house can be bought at Craterside Supply in Megaton, for 725 caps( Depending on the level of your Barter skill ). There is also a work bench you can use at Craterside Supply.


 * Earning an apartment in Tenpenny Towers is another way of getting access to a My First Workbench.

Making Items

 * A workbench is used to create custom-built weapons if you have that weapon's schematic. These weapons include the Railway Rifle, Rock-it Launcher, Shishkebab, Deathclaw Gauntlet,  Nuka Grenade, Bottlecap Mine, and Dartgun.

Bench Notes

 * When your personal workbench is purchased, it comes with a wrench, hammer and a Bottlecap Mine (usually located on the lower shelf). The bottlecap mine will sometimes respawn. It's not all that useful as the bench is expensive and a player can simply use the free workbench at Craterside Supply or using any of the free workbench locations below.

However, it's position right next to a storage locker means you can easily store ingredients, take them out, make the weapons, and put them in the locker no matter how much you overload yourself in the process.
