Loose gears

Loose gears are junk items in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
Gears which have been stored in a small cardboard box for ease of carrying. They cannot be sold to vendors until they have been bulked at a tinker's workbench.

Locations
Junk piles which may contain the gears can be found at various workshops. A junk extractor can be placed on top of a junk pile to increase its yield. Junk piles can be found in various other locations throughout Appalachia, such as:
 * Obtained by scrapping gear-yielding junk which can be found all around Appalachia.
 * Dropped by deathclaws.
 * Sold as bulk gears by some vendors.
