As you progress through Fallout 76, you will come across various weapons and armor that will help you survive in the Appalachian wasteland. One of the best early game weapons you can potentially get your hands on and build on is the minigun. This fast-firing weapon is perfect for tearing ghouls apart and burning them early in the game. This guide will show you how to get submachine gun blueprints in Fallout 76.
Where to find submachine gun blueprints in Fallout 76
There are many different weapons in Fallout 76, but one of the best in the early game is the minigun. Luckily, it’s a fairly easy weapon to find and build when you’re low level. Enemies, especially burnt ones, have a good chance of dropping a minigun. Of course, if you want to build one yourself, you’ll need to get the plans. Blueprints, on the other hand, are a bit more difficult to obtain.

There are several ways to get the machine gun blueprints. The first of these is finding containers on the map. Savage Divide and Toxic Valley containers are the only ones that can drop blueprints, so make sure you’re looking in the correct area. Many enemies in these areas also have a chance to abandon their plans. Treasure maps can also reveal containers containing blueprints.

- Complete Patrol Duty Event
- Complete Daily Ops Missions
- Find the blueprints in objects around Savage Divide and Toxic Valley
If you’re not in the mood to seek out these blueprints or research them, you can also buy them from other players and some NPC vendors. Provider Responders in Whitespring, Provider Bot Chad in Camden Park, Provider Bot Greg in Grafton and some station providers have the ability to sell these plans. Once you have the blueprint, you will need the Armorer perk ranked up to level two to build it. With a good weapon like this, you can finally kill radscorpions.
