The ProSnap Deluxe Camera in Fallout 76 is a valuable tool for completing challenges, quests, and daily activities. This guide will explain how refugees can acquire a camera, repair it, and utilize it to thrive in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Understanding the ProSnap Deluxe Camera
There are two types of cameras in Fallout 76:
-
Broken ProSnap Camera: This is simply junk item that can be scrapped for materials.
-
Broken ProSnap Deluxe Camera: This is the quest item required for completing challenges and quests. It cannot be dropped or traded until repaired.
Acquiring a Camera
Here are the methods to obtain a ProSnap Deluxe Camera in Fallout 76:
1. The “Bucket List” Quest
This quest guarantees a camera.
- Claim the free Personal Terminal from the Atomic Shop.
- Build and interact with the terminal in your camp.
- Select: “Automated Alerts/Suspicious Person/Download Coordinates – Suspicious Person.”
- The quest will then appear, guiding you toward the camera.
2. “Costa Business: Vera” Questline
Begin this questline by speaking to Vinny at Big Bend Tunnel East. Completing a few preliminary quests will eventually lead you to a quest involving the camera.
3. Whitespring Refuge Dailies
These daily quests offer a reliable method to acquire a camera, especially “A Refugee’s Guide.” Fast travel to the Whitespring Refuge and head towards the Common Room.
-
“A Refugee’s Guide” Daily: The first time you do this daily quest, Skippy will ask if you have a Camera. If you don’t, he will provide you with a Broken ProSnap Deluxe camera to repair.
