Syrup is an important crafting component in Fallout 76 that is used to craft various consumables at crafting stations. There are a few ways to obtain syrup in Fallout 76:
Loot Syrup
One of the easiest ways to get syrup is to loot it from various locations and containers around Appalachia. Here are some of the places you can find syrup:
- On counters and shelves inside the kitchen areas of various houses and buildings
- Inside refrigerators in homes and kitchens
- On shelves inside Super Duper Marts
- Inside the Whitespring Resort kitchen and dining areas
- Inside the kitchen area at Vault-Tec University
- On shelves and countertops at Slocum’s Joe donut shops
When looting areas, be sure to thoroughly check kitchens, dining areas, refrigerators, store shelves, etc. The syrup often spawns in the food and drink sections alongside other cooking ingredients. It may take some searching, but opening containers and keeping an eye out while exploring can yield quite a bit of syrup from looting alone.
Suggested Loot Locations
Here are some suggested places to loot for syrup:
- The kitchens in the houses of Sutton
- The Whitespring Resort kitchens
- Super Duper Mart
- Any Slocum’s Joe donut shops
- Vault-Tec University kitchen
- Overseer’s childhood home
Collect Maple Sap
Another way to obtain syrup is to collect and process maple sap from maple trees around Appalachia. Here is the process:
- Equip the Woodchucker perk card, which allows you to harvest twice as much wood from trees and plants
- Travel around Appalachia and look for maple trees – these have unique reddish bark
- Interact with the maple trees to place maple sap taps on them
- After some time, return to the tapped maple trees to harvest maple sap from the taps
- Take the collected maple sap to a cooking station like a fire or stove
- Under “Aid”, use the maple sap in cooking to produce maple syrup
This allows you to essentially produce your own syrup. Good locations to find maple trees include hillsides and along rivers in the Forest region of the map. Equipping Woodchucker will make each maple tree yield 2-3 maple sap, which converts into syrup. This can be a renewable source of syrup.
Maple Sap Locations
Some good locations to find maple trees and tap for sap include:
- The forests along the river east of Vault 76
- The forests southeast of the Overseer’s camp
- The hills and ridges southeast of Flatwoods
- The forests along the river south of Gilman lumber mill
- The wooded areas east of Alpine River Cabins
Purchase from Vendors
You can also purchase syrup from some vendors around Appalachia. Here are a few vendors that often sell syrup in their inventories:
- The Responder bot vendor in Flatwoods often sells syrup
- The Free States vendor bot at the Whitespring Resort stocks syrup
- Some Slocum’s Joe protectrons sell donuts and syrup
- The wandering trader Grahm often sells syrup
Server hopping and checking these vendor’s inventory can result in finding syrup for sale. Their inventory changes, so keep checking back. Buying syrup can be handy but is usually more expensive than crafting it yourself.
Vendor Syrup Prices
Expect to pay around the following cap prices when buying syrup from vendors:
| Vendor | Price |
| Responder bot | 25-35 caps |
| Free States bot | 40-50 caps |
| Slocum’s Joe | 15-25 caps |
| Grahm | 20-30 caps |
