How to unlock the The New Fort Knox achievement in Fallout 76 - Definitive Guide

This guide involves tricking the game and as of writing this guide it has yet to be patched/fixed.

When you earn Treasury notes you take them to gold bullion vending machines at Crater/Foundation to get your gold bullion.

At the vending machine screen you vendor your notes and can then switch tab WITHOUT exiting the machine and tab back you should be able to purchase the notes you just sold.

You then sell the notes tab , tab back and buy the gold rinse and repeat.
The game registers the gold you receive as gold earned despite the fact you never have more than what you should have.

Best to do this with a larger sum of notes and quickly as its sure to get patched at some point.

I would add I did this after completing my quest line for the Foundation.

How many notes would you recommend starting with? And how many caps should you have on hand to purchase the gold back?

If you read it youd see "you never have more than what you should have." The game simply thinks you earned it and spent it. For the achievement only, not to duplicate gold.

Think you can thepack but rep will be slow with one and I'm pretty sure the two other faction achievements are mutually exclusive , currently levelling an alt as a result :(

By lukekelly on 16 Apr 2020 17:59
Yes, the endgame questline achievements for either faction are mutually exclusive, rep is not, though one will just be faster than the other depending on who you side with and what your final decision is.

Just to note, you don’t have to tab to another section, just sell the notes and wait a couple seconds. They will appear in the vending machine inventory and you buy them back.

It's very possible it will not be patched for a while or maybe never at all. They're too busy fixing all their other bugs in this crapfest. This isn't a duplication bug, it's just exploiting the way the tracker works for it. If it were duplication, it'd be patched or disabled in a heartbeat.

So I followed the directions on how to do this and it isn't working. I'm at the foundation. I sold my notes, then purchased them back, rinsed and repeated, and I'm still stuck with the same amount. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

You only need 20 notes to do it at the fastest rate, as each converts into 10 gold bullion and 200 is the conversion machines max capacity. It still works.

By Gleaming Cube on 11 Oct 2020 10:26
Ignore that. Just unlocked. Yeah the totals update correctly but obviously behind the scenes it's not taking the gold off. Upon reading the solution again you basically say that, I just didn't spot it. +1 Good solution.

When you go to the gold press machine, sell your treasury notes to the machine to get gold. DO NOT BACK OUT AFTER THE TRANSACTION! Instead, go to your already sold treasury notes and you.should be able to buy them back for the same amount you just received. Keep doing this until you get your achievement.

Still works July 21, 2020.

Working December 2022, with 14 notes I got both achievements in 2 minutes. Did it very early in the raiders questline, before the Gail and Rara missions, I just happened to notice the machine, remembered this guide and did it there and then.

You can get both the Gold Rush and The New Fort Knox trophies easily.

Once you get a few treasury notes, you can go to the gold press machine and sell and repurchase your notes. Do not exit the machine, if you do, you will have to pick up more treasury notes.

Gold Bullion is a new premium currency in Wastelanders that allows you to purchase items from the faction vendors. The vendors will have different inventory depending on your rank with that faction. To earn gold, you will first need to complete the main Wastelanders story quests (you'll see why) and then you can do the following:
 
  • At the end of the Wastelanders quest you can get either 500 or 1000 gold bullion, depending on your choice. For this achievement, taking it all is best; however, for the overall completion donating half is best to get the extra reputation for your chosen faction.
  • Complete public events and daily faction missions. These will reward Treasury Notes which can be turned in to the gold vending machines in either faction camp. These machines only carry 200 gold bullion per day.
  • Purchase gold bullion at The Wayward for 1000 caps per 50 gold bullion. This obviously gets expensive.
Once you have a cumulative total of 1500 gold bullion earned (don't need to have that much on you at once), the achievement will unlock.

At the end of either faction's story arc, you will complete the quest Secrets Revealed. That quest itself will give you 500 gold bullion or 1,000 if you keep all the treasure yourself (see Friends in Low Places). Completing that quest begins your progress on this trophy, providing two sources of bullion:

  • All daily quests and events will give you Treasury Notes. Those exchange for bullion at gold press vending machines. There is a daily limit to that exchange so be sure to trade in as often as possible.
  • If you complete the entire Wayward story arc, there will be a vendor named Smiley upstairs at the Wayward. He will sell you bullion for Caps, up to a weekly limit. This is expensive but if you have spare Caps, it's an easy way to earn the trophy.

If you are going for the faction alliance trophies, this one should come naturally as you run the faction daily missions. The grind from Neighbourly to Ally rank will produce at least 800 bullion from faction missions, more if you also use Davenport's mission.

Either a bug or a feature, you can get this trophy in a simple way. You need to get some treasury certificates. The more you have, the better. Let's go to the gold press. We sell certificates and buy them back IMMEDIATELY. We do this until the trophy appears. If you sold the certificates and left the gold press, there will be no opportunity to buy them again, so be careful.
