How to get Serum recipes in Fallout 76
Players can get Mutation Serum recipes by visiting The Whitespring Bunker. In the science wing of this location is a robot character named MODUS. This character has all the recipes mentioned in its inventory. The cost of the recipe will differ depending on which one you’re looking to purchase.
Outside of MODUS, it’s possible for recipes to drop in the world. However, this is extremely rare and I recommend just visiting MODUS in The Whitespring Bunker to purchase Serum recipes. It’s the fastest and easiest way to claim them all.
Now that you understand where to get all Serum recipes and their effects in Fallout 76, check out our other guides on the game. Since the Amazon Fallout TV show was such a hit, why don’t you learn how to make Lucy from the show? It’ll take some work, but it’s worth the effort!
