Breaking down unwanted weapons and outfits will get you a handful of the junk needed to build those items. Since Giddyup Buttercup is used to craft legendary items such as the Accelerated Gauss Rifle, this can help you turn unwanted equipment into the pieces you’re after.
Check your crafting recipesbefore breaking down any items if you’re looking for a specific piece of junk.
Scrapping equipment isnot guaranteedto yield junk. Sometimes you’ll break down your high-powered weapons and get nothing in return.
Open Lunchboxes
Lunchboxes can be earned during quests, rewarded for completing Objectives, and bought in the in-game store.Each lunchbox contains five items, from bottlecaps to legendary Dwellers.
The fourth item is always junk, andthere’s about a 4.6 percent chance that it’ll be a Giddyup Buttercup.
4.6 percent is a little lower than 1/20. Buying lunchboxes in an effort to get a specific legendary junk item isn’t recommended.
Find Them Randomly
Dwellers you send out to explore the wasteland will occasionally find legendary junk, including Giddyup Buttercup.
Perception is the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat that affects the quality of goods found in the wasteland, sotrain up your perspective explorers in your Armory and equip them with a Heavy Vault Suitfor the best chance of finding legendary junk.
This method is slow, and after several days of exploring your Dwellers may still not find the junk you’re looking for. However,you can send several Dwellers at a time, and can keep sending more until you have enough Giddyup Buttercups to start your own robotic ranch.
