Aluminum in Fallout 4 can be hard to come by. It’s also expensive to buy a shipment from a trader in the game. You need it to upgrade to the best mods for just about every piece of gear in the Commonwealth. So, as a player in the Wasteland, what are your options?
Well, you have several. Check out the video below:
If you’re unable to view the video, here are the details:
- Know what kinds of items often contain aluminum. (Aluminum cans, TV trays, surgical trays, and cake pans are the most common).
- Know where to find those kinds of items. It’s easy to figure this out – where would you expect to find the above items? (Your best bet is locations like hospitals and diners/kitchens).
- Figure out which locations will respawn materials after a time away from them. Make notes, so you know which will, and which won’t.
- You can purchase items containing aluminum from traders in the wasteland. Build general supply trading booths in your settlements to make sure you have a way to buy aluminum when you need it right away.
- At a last resort, you can purchase a shipment of aluminum from select traders. It’s expensive, and not worth it in my opinion, especially when you have all the options above.
