Burning Springs is one of the most efficient regions in Fallout 76 for players who want general scrap variety without hopping all over Appalachia. Instead of farming one material at a time, this region lets you collect steel, screws, springs, aluminum, copper, and plastic in a single loop.
The best place to start is Athens, where office interiors dominate the landscape. Desks, filing cabinets, fans, typewriters, clipboards, and phones are everywhere, making it easy to fill your inventory quickly. Clearing interiors matters here — exterior looting barely scratches the surface compared to what’s inside.
Industrial buildings around Burning Springs add a second layer of value. Machinery, toolboxes, crates, and generators provide aluminum, gears, oil, and circuitry. Residential blocks help round things out with cloth, glass, and chems, which are often overlooked but essential for crafting and repairs.
If you’re short on stash space, this region is especially useful because you can bulk scrap after a single run instead of juggling multiple farming locations.
