Overview
Full junk guide (helpful to use with the steam overlay so we save CPU resources such as other open browsers and borderless fullscreen or to use with big picture mode) – source https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_76_junk_items
About & How To Use
This steam guide aims to help steam users to easily access it through steam overlay either on Fullscreen Mode or Big Picture Mode with the purpose of sparing background CPU resources such as browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.) and the Fallout 76 Borderless Fullscreen mode that triggers low frames to some players. Since steam overlay browsers doesn’t offer the ability to bookmark websites, this guide will help just by opening it on the web browser and it’s links in new tabs.
The source of junk materials and its yielding components is from Fallout Fandom wiki[fallout.fandom.com], (which I believe is added by players) and it was now been modified and corrected by me on some of the yielding values here on steam which were incorrect on the wiki tables (some of these still might have incorrect values or may be changed by new Fallout 76 updates, if this is the case and you know about it, leave a comment down in the comment section to kindly provide this information so I can change it).
You can easily navigate this guide by choosing the raw type of junk material you need on the right column and read which junk materials you can pick up that yield what you need when scrapped.
There’s also the ability to press CTRL + F to open a search bar where you can type either the raw type junk material to quickly jump to wherever it’s written on the guide or to type the unscrapped junk material itselft and see for yourself what it yields when scrapped.
