Black Titanium is used primarily as a major component in the Excavator Power Armor while Black Titanium Scrap is crucial to repairing it as well as crafting Cultist Blades. The most common way to find these dark metal resources is in its Black Titanium Ore form, or as scrap.

Updated on September 13, 2021, by Reyadh Rahaman: Finding the variants of Black Titanium will take some exploring, so gamers will have to venture out into the Appalachian wastelands to obtain this rare resource. As with farming anything in Fallout 76, players will find that the most efficient method of seeking out this precious metal is to locate a few spots and means of gathering Black Titanium, in one form or another, and cycling between them all.

This is to allow enemies and resources time to respawn, therefore, a well-planned route can save adventurers a lot of time and effort so that they can get back to crafting and doing battle with hideous mutants and hostile gangs.

Where To Find Black Titanium, Black Titanium Scrap, & Black Titanium Ore

Where To Find Black Titanium

At any kind of workbench, players can break down High Int Rocks (yields 2 Black Titanium) and Miner Suit Scraps (yields 1 Black Titanium) for intact Black Titanium. The former can only be obtained from Dr. Bethy Mangano near Clarksburg, however, the relatively more common Miner Suit Scrap can be dropped by Mole Miner enemies, which can be found in many locations.

Here are the best locations to find, defeat, and loot Mole Miners for their Miner Suit Scraps:

Tips For Taking Down Mole Miners

These disgusting little mutants are what happened to a bunch of humans who were warped by radiation in or around underground locations in Appalachia.

They tend to hang out in large groups, sometimes accompanied by naked mole-rat enemies, and will attack players as a deadly posse. They can wield powerful ranged weapons such as Missile Launchers, Shotguns, and more, so they pose a great threat to those who stumble into their territory unprepared.

The best tactic to take them down is to bring some allies for back-up, as confrontations with this horde of horrid underground dwellers usually evolve into full-scale firefights. An alternative method is to simply level up a lot before strolling into a Mole Miner residence in a low-level area.

Where To Find Black Titanium Scrap

Black Titanium Ore can be crafted into Black Titanium Scrap at a chemistry station, though the ratio is a bit expensive. It takes 4 Acid and 3 Black Titanium Ore in order to craft 2 Black Titanium Scrap. However, this scrap can also be found in the wild, albeit in dangerous areas.

Black Titanium Scrap can be looted from the bodies of Deathclaws, found on Deathclaw Island, and in the

Abandoned Waste Dump.

Where To Find Black Titanium Ore

For the most part, players will need to stumble across a vein of this rare metal naturally while exploring Appalachia, however, a reliable mine of Black Titanium Ore can be found near the Gorge Junkyard workshop. Furthermore, Black Titanium Ore can be acquired from miner maps bought from U-Mine-It! vending machines, The Rusty Pick, and near the entrance of the Kanawha Nuka-Cola plant.

What Black Titanium Is Used To Craft & Repair

There are only 2 things crafted and repaired with Black Titanium: Excavator Power Armor and Cultist Blades. The former is the most expensive, as each of the 6 pieces for the power armor needs a lot of Black Titanium.

For level 25 Excavator Power Armor, players will need 6 Black Titanium each (total of 36); for level 35 Excavator Power Armor, one will need 7 for each piece (total of 42); and for the highest-rank Excavator Power Armor at level 45, adventurers will need 9 Black Titanium for each part of the suit (total of 54).

The Cultist Blade is much cheaper to make and can be a decent melee weapon for certain players. To craft one of these jagged swords, gamers will need 6 Black Titanium Scrap (in addition to the other components).
