The best way to farm gold is to collect the x4 golden bars and x1 gold watch from Bridgeway Trust, an unmarked bank near Back Street Apparel. There’s also a hidden root cellar in Sanctuary with 3 golden bars inside it. You should be able to farm these locations repeatedly.

Note: Most items in Fallout 4 take around 7 days to respawn, gold bars included.

Alternatively, you can buy gold from NPCs, or get it from enemy loot, such as gold plated flip lighters and gold watches. Here’s a list of all the items that can be scrapped for gold:

Item Yield
Gold Bar 10
Gilded Grasshopper 5
Gold Watch 2
Gold Platted Flip Lighter 1

Once inside the bank, head to the first desk to your right, and you will find the golden watch next to a corpse behind the desk.

The gold bars are inside the main safe behind the bank’s counter.

To open the safe you will need to unlock a Master Terminal. To unlock Master Terminals you need to upgrade the Hacker perk to level 3.

Inside the safe, you will also find many other smaller safes that could contain gold plated flip lighters. Some of these safes require level 3 of the Locksmith perk.

 

Method #2: Sanctuary Hills’ Hidden Root Cellar

While you’re waiting for gold bars to respawn, you can purchase gold from an NPC, but they are expensive.

The only NPC that sells shipments of gold is Deb in Bunker Hill.
