Fallout 4 made building settlements a big part of the franchise moving forward. Many areas in the desolate Commonwealth wasteland can be transformed into fortified towns. You can set up traders, surgeons, and even supply lines so all your settlements remain stocked up.

Screws are a crafting component that can be found in the wasteland. They are important for building objects in your settlements as well as improving your weaponry. Thankfully, screws are one of the easiest junk items to find in Fallout 4. Here is how you can add to your stockpile of screws and keep on building what you want.

Junk Items

Certain items can be scrapped and broken down into parts. Different items will give you differing amounts of resources. Leveling up the Scrapper perk will net you even more components from the items you break down. Office Desk Fans will be the easiest item to find, so be on the lookout for them. You can also get screws from dismantling weapons, so regularly scrap the weak junk weapons you loot off of raiders. These are all the items that you can scavenge for screws and some locations where you can find them.
