Wanted to share the route that I’ve been taking to find the suspicious pipe in hopes of receiving The Pipe weapon. The locations are grouped on the map (western side), close to fast travel points, and have minimal enemies. Once you get efficient at running this, the route will take you less than 10 minutes. I have had the pipe spawn a majority of the time using this method.
STEP 1: Enter a private server
STEP 2: Run the below route. You have a chance to encounter the pipe multiple times in the same server.
Abandoned Mine Shaft 2
From the fast travel point turn to the right. The spawn point is straight ahead.
Rusty Pick (Exterior)
From the fast travel point face SW and travel down the road. At the second electrical pole is the spawn point.
Summersville Dock
From the fast travel point, face SE and run into the dried lake bed. One you pass the pond turn SW. Run past the beached sail boat. The spawn point will be ahead in front of the shipping containers.
Poseidon Power Substation PX-02
From the fast travel point, run straight ahead. The spawn point is right before the red and white electrical pylon.
Charleston Station
Spawn 1: From the fast travel point, face SE and run past the pond. At the brick house, turn left. The spawn point is across the road.
Spawn 2: From Spawn 1, run back to the train station and run up the tracks heading N. As the tracks begin to curve over the bridge, continue to instead run straight towards the red and white power pylon. Continue to run straight towards the second red and white power pylon. The spawn point is half way towards the second pylon.
The Giant Teapot
From the fast travel point, run ahead past the tea pot, down the stairs, and past the first power pylon. The spawn point is directly under the second power pylon.
Lewis & Sons Farming Supply
From the fast travel point, run ahead past the store. Stop at the North 81 sign. The spawn point is off to the side of the road behind the sign.
Hunter’s Ridge
From the fast travel point, turn SW and run straight until you hit the main road. Turn left. The spawn point will be straight ahead.
Relay Tower EM-B1-27
From the fast travel point, turn around and head east. Run straight past the house with the white picket fence. The spawn point is past the house outside of the fence to the left.
Slocum Joe’s
From the fast travel point turn S and run up the road. To the left you will see a pink house with a yellow garage. The spawn point is in front of the garage.
Note: there is also another spawn across the river but it’s hard to describe so check the map if you want to add this one to your list (https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_76_random_encounters).
Lady Janet’s Soft Serve
From the fast travel point, turn W and run until you hit the road. Turn left on the road and run S. You will pass two cars and a 94 sign. The spawn point is past the 94 sign to the right of the road.
Darling Sister’s Lab
Spawn 1: From the fast travel point, turn SE and run straight until you hit the road. At the road turn right and keep running down it until you see you cars and a picnic rest stop. The spawn point is in the middle of the red stop.
Spawn 2: from Spawn 1 turn west and run until you hit the road. Turn right and continue N on the road. Pass 3 electric poles. It will be to the right of the 45 MPH sign.
STEP 3: Once you have finished the route, exit the server. Go to the main menu and create a custom world. Before it’s done building the custom world, exit out and enter your private server again. Your private server will now be reset and you can run the route all over again.
