The holidays are here in Fallout 76, and it’s time to stack up on those rare holiday presents! In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know to get holiday presents quickly, efficiently, and affordably. From charisma-boosting tips to leveraging game mechanics like Santatron and workshops, you’ll have all the tools to make this season bountiful. Let’s dive in!

Where to Find Holiday Presents

    Train Stations
    Holiday presents can be crafted using Christmas wrapping paper, available at train stations.
        Tip: White Springs Station is a great spot since it has double the amount of wrapping paper compared to most stations.
        Server Hopping: Switch servers after purchasing all the wrapping paper to maximize your haul.

    Holiday Scorched
    Hunt down Holiday Scorched enemies to get presents. Unfortunately, their drop rates have been inconsistent this season. Bethesda may address this, so stay tuned for updates.

    Santatron
        Get the free Santatron from the Atomic Shop and place it at your CAMP.
        It passively collects presents while you explore Appalachia.
        Workshops Bonus: Placing a Santatron at workshops can yield even more presents over time.

How to Save Caps on Holiday Presents

Buying presents can get expensive, but you can reduce costs by maximizing your Charisma. Here’s how:

    Equip Unyielding Armor with a Charisma boost (+3 recommended).
    Activate perk cards:
        Hard Bargain: Lowers vendor prices.
        Magnetic Personality: Provides a significant Charisma boost.
        Party Boy/Girl: Increases the effect of alcohol buffs.
    Use Underarmor Buffs: Some underarmors, like the Mummy set, can boost Charisma.
    Consume Charisma-boosting items:
        Blackwater Brew (+3 Charisma).
        Grape Mentats (temporarily boosts Charisma and improves barter rates).

Additional Ways to Boost Charisma

    Play Pool: Interact with pool tables to gain a temporary Charisma boost.
    Give Leo a Nuka-Cola: Visit Leo and hand over a regular Nuka-Cola to gain Charisma.

Pro Tip: While boosting Charisma is helpful, don’t overdo it. Each point saves a small number of caps, so only push for high Charisma if you’re buying large quantities of wrapping paper or presents.

Crafting Holiday Presents

Use the Christmas wrapping paper from train stations to craft presents at a Tinker’s Workbench.

    Focus on low-quality and medium-quality presents for better value.
    High-quality presents cost significantly more FO76 Bottle caps and don’t guarantee better loot.

Daily Gift Wrap from Bethesda

Bethesda is offering high-quality gift wrap in the Atomic Shop. Claim it daily before 12 PM EST. This event is time-limited, so don’t miss out!

Maximizing Your Santatron

    Place the Santatron at your CAMP or workshops.
    Use server hopping to take over multiple workshops, increasing the number of presents collected.
    For best results, create a Santatron blueprint with stairs to optimize placement at workshops.

Final Tips and Tricks

    Keep an eye on the Atomic Shop for limited-time holiday items.
    Use a private server for uninterrupted farming if possible.
    Watch for updates from Bethesda regarding Holiday Scorched fixes.
