This kind of stuff is great for killing time between seasons. I found a Sledge Hammer plan yesterday on a level 500 character and was surprised I didn't know it yet.
@@wiggle_playsit is kind of annoying your build is basically RNG based because alot of the better in game weapons you cant buy the plans for or at least i cant find them
weapon plan hunting was something I did a lot a couple of years back, the way I did it was looking for high level safes (lvl 2 or 3) since they had a higher chance for a weapon plan to drop, my favourite regions to safecrack for weapon plans was the ash heap and savage divide, ran both regions because the ash heap safes had a chance to drop the deathclaw gauntlet plan, since mutated party packs didn't exist at that point, the deathclaw gauntlet plan was a rare plan and I was able to sell it for 10000 caps per plan, the savage divide has a good combination of weapon plans as much as the savage divide, especially the plan for both rifles and heavy guns like the .50 Cal and the Gatling Plasma I also hunted for Toxic Valley plans too by doing Patrol Duty at the prison since it was a guaranteed weapon plan as a reward and the weapon plans it gave you include the forest weapon plans and other weapon plans like the handmade gun plan and plasma gun plan
I made a fortune farming these in the early days. They were extra valuable before legendary perks(aka Infiltrator) since no one could be bothered to swap in thier lockpicking cards.
There is a lvl 3 safe in the train yard in cranberry bog. Soon as you spawn in go over the blue bus and the left building you see will have the safe by the terminal.
Thx for this guide, was very informative for us new players. Didnt know about the loot chance thingy. Also thx to RNG for being cooperative for this video 😝
Thanks man I really appreciate the the video keep up. there is a chance you might in counter an event in Monongah power plant this event has a chance to drop 2 plans. I got the ripper plan and another one I forgot it. hope this will be beneficial for other players
Thanks for the vid, really informative. Can you explain (perhaps here) a bit more about why you don’t even loot the ammo for instance as it would affect the chance of finding a good plan. How does that work?
If you loot anything in a container, it counts as looting everything in the container. If I just grabbed the ammo, the container would be empty for me until I reset my picked up items list. So, if you open a safe and there isn't a plan in there for you, it's best to just leave everything untouched if you want to check again on another server.
Directly west of beast of burden event its 1 train car still up on the track so you have to climb the stairs up to it go inside turn left and it will be on second set of seats on left
The game keeps track of the last 255 items you picked up and an item can't respawn until it falls off that list. For example: if I pick up a weapon plan that's sitting on a shelf, no plan will spawn in that spot for me until I've picked up 255 more items and that plan falls off my list. I would also need to go to a different server because items won't respawn on the same server where I picked them up. This applies to loose items in the world as well as containers.

This is like a scavenger hunt. Trying to find stuff is one of my favorite things to do in 76.

That master locked toolbox at RR is 1 of 2 in Appalachia (other in basement of steak house) and has a 0.5% chance to drop power armor plans.
Interesting. I wasn't aware of that.
I found the pump action plan in a low-level players vendor for about 10 caps, i was level 700 and still didn't have it unlocked yet.
Thats the exact plan im looking for, shotgun player here

Nice run for new players and existing players starting new characters to fast-track learning some good weapon plans!
good job. ty for taking time to make this 🙏

Brutal. I hit every safe you showed us. Two treasure maps and one technical data. 😵
That sucks. It goes that way sometimes. Seems to be very streaky. You either find one everywhere you look or find nothing everywhere.
Pleasant valley also has an abundance of recipes and armor plans
I remember trying to get the shotgun plan at that first location, took me like 5 hours for it to spawn
Wow. I think the best chance at the pump action plan is Patrol Duty.
The cemetery has been changed there used to be 3 safes there.

@@wiggle_plays ah yes, that makes sense. Thanks so much and keep up the good work of keeping us noobs informed :)
I did this for a year hunting the plans for all the Halloween costumes.
Do any of these drop the Ultracite Gatling Laser Plan? I've been trying for literal months before I took a hiatus.
Scorched beast queen is what you are looking for
I got a Tesla rifle plan out of chef's steamer trunk
So weapon plans can only be found in the level 3 safes? Not in 2 or 1 or 0?
Yes.
Is there any benefit to making your own weapons? I understand the building a bunch to scrap for upgrades, but is there any other reason to do so?
You can craft them and roll as legendary.
Well, that's the obvious part Wiggle. Can you create better weapons than what you'd find in the wasteland? More durability, etc?
Nope.
What mods are you using for your handmade rifle?
Tweaked automatic receiver, aligned long barrel, reflex site, forceful stock, perforating magazine, suppressor.
Cranberry bog up in train car a weapon plan spawns on the seat
Which train car?
@wiggle_plays if I could send photos I would show you
Directly west of beast of burden event its 1 train car still up on the track so you have to climb the stairs up to it go inside turn left and it will be on second set of seats on left
Thanks! I'll check it out.
Found it. Your directions were perfect. 👍
What gun are you running the video?
Handmade rifle.
whys your ammo are infinite???
Great vid. Can you put breaks in the vid for quick searching?
Yes. I didn't realize I hadn't done that already.
THANK YOU!
How is the dot on your sights that small
It looks way bigger and chunkier in mine
higher fov maybe
Does a high Luck mean you will find more plans? 🤔
Nope.
Awesome content from wiggles 😏
Thanks!
Anybody got the laser gun plan on pc? i got caps
I did this whole thing and didn’t find a single plan
It'll happen like that sometimes. It happened to me when I recorded the video.
ok
@@wiggle_plays
I’m tryna get the double barrel shotgun
Sooo, no weapon plans for early game.
the first location given is easy to get to, no locks or terminals. Server hop until you find something you like.
What’s this 255 picked up item list??? Noobie here, just looking to learn
The game keeps track of the last 255 items you picked up and an item can't respawn until it falls off that list. For example: if I pick up a weapon plan that's sitting on a shelf, no plan will spawn in that spot for me until I've picked up 255 more items and that plan falls off my list. I would also need to go to a different server because items won't respawn on the same server where I picked them up. This applies to loose items in the world as well as containers.
Lamo I been trying to get Sledge for years

The compound bow plan can be bought from Ae-Ri at Crater and Sunny at Foundation when you have ally reputation with them.
