The world of Fallout 76 may have gone to ruin and be overrun by irradiated Ghouls, Mirelurks, and all manner of foul creatures, but spice is still the variety of life even in post-war Appalachia. Without it, food wouldn't taste as good as it does, especially since the radiation has definitely damaged taste buds.

Once such spice, Salt, rather a mineral in this case, is used in several dishes in the game. It's not the be-all of the wastelands, but it does have its utility.

On that note, here's where to find Salt and how to put it to good use.

Salt in Fallout 76 can be obtained in most food hotspots found in post-war Appalachia. When the bombs fell, restaurants were still functioning, and as such, spices of all kinds were stocked to the brim in inventory. This means that abandoned pre-war restaurants, food factories, barbeques, and cooking spots all contain spices and Salt.

While Raiders may not have acquired sophisticated tastebuds, they too use Salt, and as such, it can be found in bandit camps. The mineral in question can be obtained via a glass Salt shaker. You can find it on tables, shelves, inside refrigerators, and generally in places where food is stored.

Here's where to find Salt in Fallout 76:

  • The Whitespring Golf Club.
  • The Brown House.
  • Helvetia.
  • Bolton Greens.
  • The General's Steakhouse.
  • Red Rocket Mega Stop.
  • White Powder Winter Sports.
  • Bastion Park.
  • Prime Minister's Cabin at Rapidan Camp.
  • Clarksburg Shooting Club.

  • Aaronholt Homestead.

Aside from looting the wastelands to find Salt, you can also trade with other players to get the mineral. Since it's not too scarce, players should be willing to trade for a nominal offer.


What is Salt used for in Fallout 76?

Salt is a consumable item that gives +1.25% to hunger satisfaction, alongside a mild +5 radiation (which is not a lot, considering Salt gives food flavor).

However, Salt's main utility is as a resource for creating other consumable items. Here's the list:

  • Aged Mirelurk Queen Steak
  • Bloatfly Loaf
  • Dog Meat Steak
  • Firecap Tasty Souffle
  • Megasloth Tenderloin
  • Mirelurk Jerky
  • Tasty Squirrel Stew
  • Vegetable Medley Soup
  • Grilled Fish

Truth be told, you could decide not to use Salt to make the aforementioned dishes, but it just wouldn't hit the spot.

To that end, happy Salt hunting. Just remember to pay attention to your surroundings while looking for it, as you probably won't be the only one with the same idea.
