What Time Do Fallout 76 Timers Reset?

There are many activities for you to complete in Fallout 76, most of which are controlled by timers. Knowing when these timers reset can be tricky since Bethesda has changed how they work since the game came out. Here’s what time all Fallout 76 timers reset and all the crucial information you should know.

All Fallout 76 Reset Timers

Here’s what time all Fallout 76 timers reset. Click on a link to be taken to a specific timer to learn more about how it resets:

• Vendors – 12:00 PM EDT Daily
• Scrip and Gold Bullion – 12:00 PM EDT Daily
• Quest Timers – 12:00 PM EDT Daily
• Daily Challenges – 12:00 PM EDT Daily
• Weekly Challenges – 12:00 PM EDT Weekly on Tuesdays
• Expeditions – 12:00 PM EDT Daily
• Daily Ops – 12:00 PM EDT Daily
• Nuke Codes – 7:00 PM EDT Weekly on Mondays

One important note about the reset timers is that Bethesda honors daylight savings time and reflects the timer resets accordingly. For instance, all vendors, including machines, reset daily at 12:00 PM ET during daylight savings and 1:00 PM ET outside daylight savings. Keep this in mind when timing your activities.

When Do Vendors Reset?

Vendors reset in Fallout 76 at 12:00 PM EDT (1:00 PM EST).

In Fallout 76, NPC vendors are from one of the seven factions in Appalachia. Each vendor within a faction shares a maximum cap stash of 1400, replenished at the reset time. You can identify the faction to which a vendor belongs by its name. For instance, the “Responders Vendor Bot” at the Whitespring Resort is from the Responders faction.

In addition, it’s crucial to understand that the caps available to all vendors, regardless of their faction, are character-based, which means that the amount of available caps a vendor has will not change when switching to another server. Additionally, when you sell an item to a vendor, they add one-quarter of the selling price to their cap stash. However, they will only add caps this way until their total cap stash reaches 1400 caps. Therefore, it is essential to manage your daily trades to keep your cap stash in check.

Finally, all the inventory for each NPC vendor is server-based, so switching to another server will cause that specific vendor to refresh its inventory. It’s beneficial if you are looking for a particular item, like the Chainsaw flamer mod, for instance. Also, note that an NPC vendor’s item stock is unique and not shared between vendors, even if they are in the same faction. Lastly, the vendor’s inventory is reset at the reset time, along with its caps.

When Do Scrip Machines and Bullion Vendors Reset?

All Scrip Machines and Bullion Vendors in Fallout 76 reset at 12:00 PM EDT (1:00 PM EST).

For Scrip Machines, you can sell legendary items for a total of 500 Legendary Scrip per character, per day. In addition, you can buy back a legendary item you sold until you leave the machine. Once left, you are no longer able to buy back any legendary items sold. For Bullion vendors, you can obtain 400 gold bullion from Treasury Notes per character daily. In addition, you can purchase up to 300 bullion from Smiley per week.

Weekly Challenges

Weekly challenges reset in Fallout 76 weekly at 12:00 PM EDT (1:00 PM EDT). Luckily, weekly challenges are usually the same tasks as daily ones but in greater quantity, making it super easy to complete them before the weekly reset.

When Do Expeditions Reset?

Rare expedition rewards reset in Fallout 76 weekly at 12:00 PM EDT (1:00 PM EDT). However, you can do as many Expeditions as you want to farm Stamps. The Atlantic City expeditions are extremely short and a great way to spend your day farming if you have an eye on a specific item at the Stamp vendor.

When do Daily Ops Reset?

Daily Ops in Fallout 76 rotate daily at 12:00 PM EDT (1:00 PM EST) outside daylight savings. This daily rotation also resets your ability to earn the Initiate, Paladin, and Elder Tier rewards again. Still, if you want to repeat Daily Ops, the Base tier is repeatable.

When Do Nuke Codes Reset?

Nuke Codes reset in Fallout 76 every Monday at 7:00 PM EDT (8:00 PM EST). Once reset, the existing Nuke Code fragments in your inventory will decay. After this point, you’ll need to obtain new New Codes to launch a nuke. However, you will still retain any Nuclear Keycards left in your inventory and can use them with new Nuke Codes.
