Fallout 76: A Comprehensive Guide to Reputation

In Fallout 76, you have many decisions to make, but perhaps none as important as choosing which side to support in the never-ending war between settlers and raiders. Will you choose to take up the plow and rebuild the wasteland, or will you embrace the storm and take what the wasteland can offer? Or perhaps you'll play both sides to further your own post-apocalyptic ambitions?

No matter what you choose, gaining a positive reputation with the raiders or settlers in Fallout 76 is relatively straightforward.

Updated on September 1, 2023, Andrew Scariati: If you want to maximize your reputation with the raiders (or settlers) in Fallout 76, we've got you covered.

Whether you prefer unleashing hell with the raiders or helping the settlers, this guide should assist you with everything from explaining reputation levels to methods for increasing reputation. You will need to overcome a few hurdles to raise your reputation with the raiders in Fallout 76, but once you get the hang of it, you'll soar through the rank levels.

What Is The Ranking System?

Each faction has its own quests that allow you to earn reputation points with that faction.

Rewards

A higher rank with a faction opens up a broader market of goods and other useful items within that faction.

Furthermore, leveling up with a faction unlocks exclusive vendors who sell blueprint-based items with faction-themed designs.

Samuel is the special vendor for the settlers, while Mortimer serves the raider community.

Molly, another exclusive vendor, can also be found in the raider's base at the Crater. These "plans" can be purchased with the currency called Gold Bullion.

Certain blueprints are unlocked after reaching a certain reputation with one of the factions. They can then be purchased with the currency "Caps" from both factions. These blueprints are worth the effort and should be a top priority for your Gold Bullion.

Look for Sunny to increase your reputation with the settlers and take a look at these blueprints.

If you're running with the raiders, ask Ae-Ri.
