Caps, salvage and vendors
Earn Caps through Activity rewards
Complete Riding Shotgun for a direct Activity Caps reward, then supplement it by selling separate unwanted loot.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Earn Caps through Activity rewards
Big Bend Tunnel East → Vinny → Riding Shotgun.
Before you go
- Reach Big Bend Tunnel East and speak with Vinny.
- Bring combat supplies for a tunnel escort and defense.
- Sort inventory into keep, scrap, and sell groups before the run.
Farming steps
- Check with Vinny whether Riding Shotgun is available to start.
- Accept the event and follow the caravan’s objective markers through the tunnel.
- Defeat attackers that threaten progress and complete the final escort objective.
- Wait for the activity completion confirmation and collect its Caps reward.
- At a vendor, sell only the separate items marked for sale after checking the displayed offer.
- Keep desired Legendary gear and scrap candidates out of the sale group.
- Return to Vinny when ready to check for another run.
- Riding Shotgun is triggered through Vinny and has a repeat interval; do not expect it to appear in the ordinary Featured Activity rotation.
- The event’s Caps are distinct from vendor income, so track both without assuming a fixed run yield.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat when Vinny permits another event start after the 20-minute interval; vendor sales continue only while you have items to sell.
Common mistakes
- Attempting to launch from Featured Activities; visit Vinny for this excluded-from-rotation event.
- Selling a Legendary item meant for mod scrapping; make the keep/scrap/sell decision before visiting a vendor.
- Assuming a run begins immediately after completion; check Vinny’s current availability.
When to stop or switch
Stop when your Caps target is reached or Vinny cannot start another run; switch to another available Caps source if needed.
