Unlimited Lead Farm(How to Respawn Lead Ore) - Fallout 76(Updated)

Video of me showing an unlimited lead farm by using a method to respawn lead ore in fallout 76.

Solid info for lead ore farming and how to respawn items in the world.

The method you described is probably more effective but an alternative is to farm tin cans, specifically tin can chimes, as each can is made of 1 lead and 2 steel. Less effective but it doesn’t need acid for smelting which may help lower level players who are constrained by lack of acid. You can collect a lot of lead this way. IIRC, there are 5 chimes at Whitespring golf club, 6 at Pleasant Valley ski resort / Top of the World, 6 at Camden Park, and a large number at Eastern Regional Penitentiary. No doubt there are others. Each chime has 9 cans, so 9 lead, meaning running the above locations should yield over 240 lead.

Thanks for explaining/affirming that the 255 loot pickup plus server hop== ore respawn (that this process works for more than just loose items). The cool thing about this process is that it not only works with any ore you are farming (of course), but also with virtually anything you can imagine farming: crops, brain fungus (for brain bombs), copper (at the lighthouse, both ore and scraps), ballistic fiber, weights (for the high lead yield they give) and on and on.

Thanks for creating this video. I ran the lead farming mission tonight and the first run I got 244 lead ore and when I smelt it with Super Super, got 765 units. Second run, found deposits I missed on the first run and got 415 lead ore which turned into 1295 units of lead. Will be doing this lead farming more in the future. Great videos you have created for this game.

There is a lead deposit just outside of that mine too, perfect spot for a farming camp with one of those extractor machines. Ammo becomes an issue early on if you don't have "unlimited" lead and acid.

As a solid bonus, the 255 books are cloth. So that’s a 2 in 1. I can use it to craft gunpowder.

After the last hotfix I just want my game to stop crashing on me.

[patrickmurray]

wouldn't grabing weights be more lead per hour then trying to farm up the ore, since you also need to farm up acid in order to smelt the ore to bars.

[davecheese]

If you are looking for other spots to pick up items then the school at Watoga has loads of plates and cutlery. Also the compound at sons of Dane is also good 👍

[toddmyers]

just a couple of things you need to make sure you have plenty of acid to breakdown the lead, Lead ore is heavy and will weight you down fast and it will not go into your scrap box
there is a chem bench in lucky hole mine so you can use that and use a scrap kit or your survival tent to put the lead into you scrap box or just make your ammo.

[BoneSnapper]

I hit Lucky hole mine, All 3 Silo gyms, penitentiary, fire house, then the book house, also picking up random items along the way. Good turn around and it respawns almost all the books

[Deleane]

thx for this helpful video, i got 122 and 164 books in one run^^

im level 343 and i didnt know all this . Thanks mr West Tek

[NOPerative]

You need to have both excavator arms equipped ( and most likely the torso [ haven't tested this yet myself ] ) if you're running a mixed set to get more ore when farming deposits. Was literally wondering if smelting benefited from Super Duper - thnx for confirmation.
Good vid!

[ATLTraveler]

I prefer just doing a weights run, I can hit vault tech until flatwoods gym, and some silos and easily get enough lead to craft 1, 000 0.45 ammo, helps to have super duper and the ammo creation perk too. That way you don’t have to worry about acid.

Hello I’m new to fallout and thank you for helping discover a place for lead much appreciated

[exiledexilus]

Can confirm this still works. Very useful. Thx

[shanebraden]

If lead is an issue for Ammo try Railgun. Nothing but steel rounds and collecting steel from breaking down items is far simpler too.

[shanebraden]

I would suggest, responded lead to make a trip to all nuke bunkers and collect the lead weights there before you log out to another server.

Also, thought, 255 count by collect vegetables? If so vegetable garden maybe to make collect easier?

I haven't tried it but an Idea none the less.

This is really useful for the times that we get free Fallout 1st, especially with the new ammo box
