How to get the Radium Rifle plans in Fallout 76

The Radium Rifle is one of the more interesting weapons to find and use in Fallout 76. This weapon looks like a standard assault rifle, but it’s far from it. While firing bullets, this weapon also deals radiation damage. This is especially useful for those who enjoy participating in the PvP aspect of the game. The Radium Rifle drains your opponent’s health while also irradiating them to allow them to regain their health.

How to get the Radium Rifle plans

The Radium Rifle Blueprints are one of the simpler weapon blueprints in the game. While you can get the blueprints for this weapon below level 40, it’s pretty unlikely. This is because the in-game vendors will not sell the radium rifle blueprints to a character below level 40. If you are looking for the plans, you have the chance to get them in the following places:

• All containers in the Ash Heap, Mire, and Cranberry Bog have a chance to spawn the plans
• Treasure maps in the same areas can give you access to the plans when digging up the treasure
• Can be obtained from the Novice of Mysteries quest
• Has a low chance of being a reward for completing the Daily Ops mission

Aside from these methods, when you reach level 40 you can purchase the Radium Rifle blueprints from the Free States and Shopping Mall vendors in Whitespring Resort. The vendor at the Watoga station will also be selling the plans at this time.

How to craft the radium rifle

If you get the Radium Rifle blueprints, you will most likely be pretty skilled at crafting in-game items. To craft the Radium Rifle, you should go to a Weapons Workbench. You can craft Radium Rifles with a minimum level of 40 and a maximum level of 50. You will need the following materials to craft a radium rifle:

• 12 glue
• 8 circuit
• 7 core material
• 17 screws
• 16 sources
• 31 steel
• 14 wood

As you can see, radium rifles require a decent amount of materials to craft. Make sure you have enough spare materials before crafting large numbers of these. Scrapping radium rifles can also teach you how to craft mods for the weapon.
