The latest update for Fallout 76 quietly added a bunch of new sign plans, and if you enjoy decorating your C.A.M.P. or showing off your progress, these are worth hunting down. Signs might seem like a small thing, but they add a lot of personality to your base and can even help guide visitors or teammates. After spending time testing routes, events, and vendors, here is a clear breakdown of how to unlock every new sign plan from the update, without wasting hours wandering the Wasteland.
What Changed With the New Sign Plans
This update expanded the pool of buildable signs, including faction-themed boards, warning signs, and some more playful designs. Most of them are not handed to you automatically, which means you need to earn them through gameplay. Some are tied to public events, others come from vendors, and a few are locked behind daily or repeatable content.
If you already like collecting Fallout 76 items for your camp builds, this update fits perfectly into that playstyle. The key is knowing where each plan drops, because not all activities have the same chances.
Public Events You Should Focus On
Several of the new sign plans are tied to public events, especially ones that already reward camp-related plans.
Keep an eye out for these events in particular:Radiation RumbleEviction NoticeTest Your MetalMoonshine Jamboree
These events have a shared loot pool that now includes some of the new sign plans. From my experience, Eviction Notice and Moonshine Jamboree seem to have slightly better odds, mainly because they reward multiple plans at once if you complete all objectives.
A small tip here: stay until the event fully ends and the reward screen pops up. Leaving early, even if the event looks finished, can sometimes skip plan rewards.
Daily Ops and Their Hidden Value
Daily Ops are another solid source for sign plans, especially if you are running them consistently. Not every run will drop a sign plan, but the rare reward pool was updated, and signs are now part of it.
To maximize your chances:Aim for Elder rank whenever possibleRun Daily Ops on days with faster enemy typesTeam up to speed through objectives
Daily Ops can feel repetitive, but they are efficient. I usually knock one out at the start of a session. Even if you do not get a sign plan, you still walk away with ammo, XP, and other useful rewards.
Faction Vendors and Reputation Grinding
Some sign plans are locked behind faction vendors, mainly the Raiders and Settlers. These plans only appear once you reach certain reputation levels, so newer players might not see them right away.
If you are still grinding reputation, focus on:Daily faction questsPublic events that award reputationChoosing faction-friendly dialogue options
Check vendor inventories regularly, because not all plans appear at once. Caps are usually not the problem here, reputation is. It can feel slow, but spreading out the grind over a few days makes it more manageable.
Season Board Rewards and Limited-Time Access
A few sign plans are tied to the current season board. These are usually unlocked by ranking up and claiming rewards directly, not through drops or vendors.
This is one area where timing matters. If you miss the season, you might have to wait a long time for these signs to return, if they return at all. Try to complete weekly challenges, as they give big boosts to your season progress.
I recommend logging in at least a few times a week, even for short sessions, just to stay on track.
Player Trading and Camp Hopping
Not everyone wants to grind events or reputation, and that is where player trading comes in. Some players sell duplicate sign plans through their vendors, and camp hopping can save you a lot of time.
Prices vary a lot. Some players list plans cheaply just to clear stash space, while others price them high because they know collectors want them. This is where patience pays off.
If you engage in the trading side of the game, you might already be familiar with third-party discussions around marketplaces and services like U4GM, but even without that, in-game vendors alone can get you most of what you need if you check often enough.
How to Track What You Are Missing
With so many plans floating around, it is easy to forget which signs you already know. A simple habit that helps is checking your build menu regularly and scrolling through the signs section. Newly learned plans show up immediately.
You can also:Take screenshots of unknown plans when browsing vendorsKeep a short checklist outside the gameAsk other players directly if they know where specific signs drop
The community is usually helpful, especially when it comes to camp building.
Efficiency Tips From Experience
After collecting all the new sign plans on one character, a few patterns became clear.
First, do not rely on a single activity. Mixing public events, Daily Ops, and vendor checks gives you better results than grinding one thing endlessly.
Second, play during peak hours if possible. More players mean more events popping up and more active vendors to browse.
Finally, enjoy the process. Signs are cosmetic, so there is no rush unless you personally want to complete the collection fast. Building and tweaking your camp as you unlock new signs makes the grind feel more rewarding.
These new sign plans may be small additions, but they bring extra life to camps across Appalachia. Whether you are marking your shop, warning visitors about turrets, or just adding flavor to your build, tracking them all down is a fun side goal that fits naturally into regular gameplay.
