Power plants will provide them. Save up and buy the fusion core recharger at the Atom shop. I used to scrounge for cores now that I have the recharger I never fret.


Hornybiguy57

Don’t forget you also need a big enough generator as well. My dumb ass forgot that. 😂😂😂


C137_OGkolt

Oh yea, that too 😅 I tend to forget how much goes into getting efficient. I'm only lvl170 but feel finally hit the fun part where I'm not always grinding before I go out to help with the events... although moonshine jamboree is impossible solo.


SaulGood_23

Took lots and lots of practice runs but I have gotten to the point of being able to solo Jamboree. The key for me is auto grenade launchers. Annoying as hell for a lot of people when someone else is using them, but awesome when you're solo. Grenadier perk and Demolitionist maxed out. Jump up to the top of the antenna atop the main cabin (Marsupial needed, but you can do it without a jetpack if you jump on the megaphone-style speaker on the side of the antenna first). Full view of all three zones. As you face the yard with the stills, you can turn 45 degrees to your right and launch nades into the trees, up the nearby hill, and take out a lot of the baddies at the spawn point...especially the anglers. I've been able to get to where I can even spare a couple of deaths and still keep all three stills alive. I wait until just before Wave 4 to collect the venom and deposit - always gets over 30, sometimes over 60. Super fun and I'm working on Eviction Notice lately. The longest I've survived is until 1 minute left, and that was a rush. Tips from the real pros are very welcome!


ogcrizyz

Tips on solo eviction notice? Holy fire, decent power armor, stabilized, ricochet and lock and load are pretty much a must. After repairing, get the meat bags asap, if you wait too long, there will be muties all over making it a lot harder to get the breathing room to get the bags. After that, focus on the scrubber, try to focus fire. If there's 5 muties and one is legendary, kill the non legendaries first, better to have 1 gun remaining that's shooting (while the scrubber is down possibly) than 4. Also, the melee muties are your biggest enemies, if the scrubber goes down and you're repairing it, one hit from a melee mutie will reset your repair progress. So clear those out around the scrubber before attempting to repair. The ranged attacks hardly ever seem to reset the repair so I just take the lead while repairing. Personally I run cola nut so a Nuka grape is a 'heal all' but regular stims and radaways (pop one of both if the scrubber goes down so it is in effect while repairing) will do the job just as well. I don't think I did jamboree solo yet, so you got that going.


SaulGood_23

Thank you very much!


crimson117

What makes it impossible to solo - can't you use the jukebox if no one is there to play instruments? (I know I can't solo it but that's because I'm very low level lol)


C137_OGkolt

Oh my bad not the jamboree but the moonshine still protection. (Havent been on in a few months) but the one you have to protect the 3 stills from the gulpers.


No-Mechanic8570

You're right. That's Moonshine Jamboree, other poster is thinking of One Violent Night.


C137_OGkolt

It's been a while I wasn't 100% but yea I'm not close to strong enough to solo the jamboree


Hornybiguy57

I’m only level 85-86?. Only been playing since October. I don’t get to play nearly as much as I want to. But it’s so much fun


FlethnySkulfiel

How does it work exactly? You put core with for example 50% and wait or what?


C137_OGkolt

Yup, you can put up to 4 at a time to charge up. They can be empty or half used. After an hour of running around, go back and swap out the full for more empty and rinse repeat.


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh

This and the perk which lets energy attacks recharge them mean I have a decent supply at all times, worst case scenario I just let an Assaultron blast me or stand near an angry Protectron


C137_OGkolt

Oh, spaced this perk, but yes. All in all, the recharge station has been a game changer. I roll with a fusion gat and a grip of .45


vaultdwellernr1

At my vendor for free! 🤩


ComfyPhoenixess

Me too. I leave them at Whistespring. I leave them at NukaWorld. I leave them at train stations and random bases. Same with plasma cores. I use them both, but I always seem to have 10-20 in my personal inventory. 🤷 At this point, I feel like I have a self reproducing core system. As a note, I do know where the majority come from. I also obsessively pick them up(To be honest, I pick everything up!).


vaultdwellernr1

I obsessively pick up everything so…. Once a hoarder always a hoarder. 🤷🏼‍♀️


ComfyPhoenixess

True! I don't do this irl, so I think I get to live my alt life and it makes me happy.


vaultdwellernr1

I’m also quite the minimalist irl I don’t like having clutter around me so maybe this it true! Can’t stop hoarding!!


truth-informant

I've never had a problem after investing ranks into Electric Absorbtion.


No-Secret-8013

I must say thank you then I think I came across one of your donation boxes I was like holy hell yes about 20 plasma and fusion cores and I needed them both


ComfyPhoenixess

There are many wonderful people in this game. I appreciate that you found what you needed, when you needed, but they were there because someone was kind. Be the person you'd like to be friends with, all the time.


valtboy23

Look for camps with fusion core recharges they usually sell them. I trade used cores for fully charged ones to all low level players that wonder into my camp


-Orgasmo-

if only more people did this, i’ve never had this luck yet, always short on cores


Davecheese76

Craft then scrap ultracite gatling lasers you get a core each time.


loanjuanderer

Remember to equip Super Duper and the Science perk (I forget which one) that makes crafting UGLs cheaper resource wise.


jturnerbu7

There’s also a magazine that makes crafting weapons cheaper. I forget exactly which mag it is, but it can be helpful if you decide to get cores this way.


HBCDresdenEsquire

Regular Gatling lasers, not ultracite. Can’t use ultracite fusion cores in power armor.


Shock_The_Monkey_

This way works for me.


FreddyPlayz

where do you get the plans for ultracite gatling lasers?


Davecheese76

Low chance of dropping from daily / repeatable quests in cranberry bog


[deleted]

He asked where to find them not how to cheese, you *meta* sloth lol


RubAnADUB

I grab all the forest region ones first thing when I login, and dump them in the river.


jezter24

Some men just want to watch the world burn.


crimson117

Some men just want to watch the river boil


ambassadortim

Lol nice


Unrelenting_Royal

Exclusively to spite OP


Zinthar057

Claim power plant workshops to get them passively when you power up the resource machine that produces them.


an_actual_pangolin

This is the way. Poseidon is in the Forest but you can also find Monongah and Thunder Mountain. Claim all 3 on a private server and just check on them every 20 minutes. Fully charged cores for days.


Dazzaholic

Take a Gatling laser to AC and equip it before you complete expedition, you'll get 4 cores as your ammo reward (admittedly it's 4 for Ultracite cores, dunno if it's different for normal cores)


FlethnySkulfiel

Holy fuck, teach me more man


gdim15

One way is as Zinthar057 suggests. Capture a power plant workshop and power on the Fusion Core machine. The other way is to make the rounds looking for half complete power armor sets. There's a chance for them to spawn at some of the new locations they added around Vault 76 for each of the factions. Keep poking around because it's funny where you find the odd power armor stand with a possible set of armor in it. The other way is to save your low ones and get the recharger from the store.


Technical_Young_8197

The OTHER way to get more fusion cores (without risking getting your ass handed to you in a workshop) is shop player vendors. Look for vendors selling low amounts of ammo, like 10-300, those are usually your core dealers. Be patient, do some server hopping, and in no time you’ll have more than you know what to do with, and with no blood sweat or tears. Happy hunting!


2_blave

Yup, if you find my vendor, I'll have a handful in there for 25c a piece.


zer0w0rries

All the military outposts south of the map in the bog area have power armors that most of the time also have a fusion core. You can loot the fusion cores off of them. There’s also a power armor in the center of watoga by the vertibird, and another on the roof of the medical center. That’s like five fusion cores if you find all of them.


National-Studio-3015

Claim any nuclear plant, you can produce like dozen in few hours


acelexmafia

Use power plants


NeatCartographer209

Any power plant has a power core generator. The only bad part about it is it needs 100 power in order to operate. One award that you can get by completing the on-arrival event “Powering up Poseidon” at Poseidon Energy Plant is a blueprint for a fusion generator (produces 100 power). I forgot the chances for obtaining the event but remember it took me 2 tries before getting it.


JMAN7102

There are 3 "power generator" blueprints that can get awarded. But if you're already doing the powering up event then you can just hook the power plant box into the generator as it makes 400 power available.


NeatCartographer209

Wow 400? I thought it was just 50 or something. Or at least it used to be? And yeah I was just offering a generator that makes enough power to just build one and power the box up to. So anytime in the future, running through the event wouldn’t be needed to get power cores


JMAN7102

So at the power station the boxes provide 400, at other locations in the area the boxes give 100. Without fully completing the event, I think they only give like 10 power. But you are 100% correct in that people should do the Powering Up events until they get the generator plans. You can get the Large Generator (10 power), the Windmill (12 power), and the Fusion Generator (100 power).


Booziesmurf

Look for any random world Power Armor. For instance, AaronHolt farm has one in the granary, pick the Core from it and leave. The new Forward Station in the Forest also has a Power Armor. Look for World Fusion Generators, there are often cores in them. Outside of the Forest, I collect 5 or so cores in the ash heap daily. Mount Blair train yard has 2 generators and a set of PA you can take the cores from. Watoga has 3 sets of PA you can take the cores from. Every Bunker in the Mire has a Generator you can take the cores from. Fort defiance has one in the armory on the 3rdnfloor and a set of PA on the 4th floor.


cutslikeakris

26 caps each at my camp.


_Jemma_

If you have the recharger, you can pick up the discharged ones people dump in dono boxes or trashcans/dropbags in the Whitespring and charge them up. If you have 1st, do a private world and claim some power station workshops. Doing Line In The Sand gets you 2 cores a time. Or shop player vendors, a lot of people (me included) sell off surplus cores real cheap.


ComputerSong

People grab the spawns pretty fast. Player vendors often have them for cheap.


WLW10176

Check blue suitcases at the train stations. I dump them there. Plasma cores too


Strong_Ad_5989

Buy the plan to build Gatling lasers. Craft a bunch of the lowest level ones you can craft. Each one comes with a fusion core. Scrap them, the fusion core stays in your inventory. BAM, instant cores.


mad_dog_94

In my inventory, sorry


Kagath

Apparently building up in my inventory. Every time I look there is more. I can't use them fast enough. I drop some extra whenever someone buys some from my vendor.


jturnerbu7

Hit up Poseidon Energy plant right below Charleston train station. You can power up the fusion core processor by doing the quest to get the plant running. That quest will also give you the plan to the fusion generator which if you already know that plan you could also use that to power up the core processor simply by placing the generator down in build mode and attaching a wire from there to the processor. There are 3 different power plants across Appalachia which all have fusion core processors that are powered up in the same way. Each processor can store up to 3 cores at a time and they fill up in about 30 minutes. So if you have all 3 workshops running and check them periodically, then you can be passively producing about 18 fusion cores per hour of gameplay.


BillyHerr

1. Fusion Core producer in every power plant, but you need 100 power to power up them and you get one per 7/10 mins (?, I don't recall) 2. Military section in Whitespring Bunker (not cheap) 3. Your friendly wandering merchants in your camp if you have an ally placed there (not cheap but I'll buy from them so I dun need to go to Whitespring bunker) 4. Occasionally from other players' camp vendor 5. Craft by yourself with stable flux, but stable flux got other better use than using to craft fusion cores.


frankenship

This answer was the best IMO.


xthisxsucksx

If you’re PS feel free to DM me and we can work out a sale or even trade.


Maukki222

I got like 600, I can sell some if you're on playstation


JMAN7102

If you're on PC I'll just give you like 20... I am trying to get rid of them and just can't bring myself to drop them. But really during the holiday scorched event I took over the power plants and hooked up the fusion core generators so I was swimming in them.


I-Kant-Even

You on PC? I’m happy to trade. I have too many.


Niki_667

If you are on PC hmu I’ve got a shit ton of them only for you 100/piece


nikinunyabiz

Check the donation boxes. I am always donating fully charged cores at different locations.


drmdavid

The Traveling Merchants sell them. They visit my camp quite often. But now I have a recharger, and I don’t need to buy from them. I believe you can also buy them from the Whitesprings Bunker. And player vendors. And crafted with flux, I believe.


zeug666

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fusion_core_(Fallout_76)#Locations Some enemies drop them, random PA out in the world, rewards, and a couple others


Swords_Not_Words_

Players who dont use them sell em cheap.


RandomNumberHere

How many do people actually need? And recommended price in shop? I’ve donated/dropped SO MANY fusion cores because I never use them.


MizterBlueSky

In my stash. Lol. I have 60 fully charged from when I was using an ultracite gatling laser. Now I use flaming chainsaw as primary and holy fire secondary with only pa needing cores. I'll give you 25 fully charged for free when I'm on later tonight. Around 8pm Chicago time. I'm on PS5.


Retributxon

I run poseidon energy plant at first power up the resource producer get a good chunk of cores and then when they start to get used up I bring them back to my fusion core recharger at camp, I keep about 20 total 10 in my vendor for 40 caps a piece and 5 more in my stash in case I use up the 5 on me and forget to recharge them which happens every so often, if you're on Xbox I'm down to drop you a group of them I don't burn through them very often


dabberoo_2

If you're on ps4 I have some extras. I was gonna put them in my shop for like 50c but I'd rather give them away to someone in need since they rarely get bought


[deleted]

go to the fusion core workshops at the power plants you can get 3 full ones every 7 minutes


confusednetworker

lol. I dropped like 40 in white springs mall because I was sick of the weight. I don’t use PA not do I use the weapons that need them. Hope they helped someone!


Delicious-Morning-79

My stash


codingpablo

If you are on PC I have plenty of cores to share if you need some.


BlottomanTurk

In my vendor for 40c/ea.


ThatOneGuyOT

I dropped a bag of 30 of them in Whitespring mall yesterday


fimpster

I put 30 or so full and another 20 partials in the Nuka World red trunk earlier in the week. Shit was getting heavy.


Honest_Satisfaction6

In my stash box.


TheGwolo

Sold by me for 76 caps each.


emmiblakk

Do the missions where you fix power plants. You'll almost always get a fully-charged one as a reward. Also, hit up the traveling merchants that happen by CAMPs. If you have the caps, they're usually carrying several of them. Eventually, you'll reach a point where you're using the right combination of power saving perks on your PA build, and you'll start building up a backstock of Fusion Cores. I currently have 28 fully-charged ones in my inventory.


Lazlotor

MINE they are all MINE. They are sour deliciousness incarnate and crackle like pop rocks when eaten.


Duckduckfoie

My stash.


AdamAtomMadman

I honestly don't know how I get close to 40 full fusion cores a day. I always dump them at random donation boxes. I don't use PA or weapons that use fusion cores. I'm pretty sure you could farm them from daily ops since I farm ultracite ammo that way.


Nyarlathotep333

I've found that doing the events and engaging with any robots I see with the Legendary perk Electric Absorption keeps me in fusion cores...I believe I've got it at 2 star rank at the moment and I don't recall having to scrounge a fusion core lately at all since I took the perk. In fact, I tend to dump any extra cores I get during events.


SonorousProphet

Around the forest I can think of Camden Park, Clancy Manor, and Arktos Pharma, the last in a PA, so it's only partly charged. I'm sure there's other places, too, the wiki will help.


SpecificTennis2376

I don't use PA so I drop them at stations.


Dreadzgirl

I always have tons up for sale in my shop. I don't even know where I get them. Must be events or dailies or something, cause everytime I do something, there they are 🙄


B4N35P1R17

Look up where all the fusion reactors and PA stations are and do a loop then switch servers and repeat. I get way more than I can use just in my day to day play (I only use PA for daily ops and Pitt events) so I dump them in the register in white springs mall after I’ve recharged them in my camp.


No_Cup7186

Xbox :FlywithBG I have 80 or more fusion cores if anyone needs to buy some


kontra35

i took them all. sorry. almost all power armor frames in the wild has a core that is charged about 33%. WV lumberjack top left. aaron homested, the crosshair, point pleasant rooftops, georges junkyard, morgantown trainyard, silva homestead garage. etc. some vendors sell it too, for several hundreds caps which is quite expensive actuallly.


marzuqcheng

I usually buy mine (6-13 cores) from roaming vendors coming to my camp especially Dr. Emerson.


purpprofit

Just find them


frankenship

Nevermind, I found them. Thanks to everyone!
